Howto Sucoca. • This is the great problem of life which few satisfaclorilv solve. Some fail bec.mse of poor health, others want of luck, but. the maiorit.y from deficient grit— want of nerve. They are pu-rvous, irresolute, changeable, easily get the blues and “take the spirits down t<> keep the spirits up,” thus wasting monev, time opportunity and nerve force. There is nothing like the Restorative Nervine, discovered by the great, specialist, Dr. Miles, to cure all nervous diseases, as headache, the blues, nervous prostration, sleeplessness, neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, fits and hysteria.

Mr. Cyrus White of Marion, Ind.,, is visiting this week with his nepliew and niece, Mr. and Mrs. James S. Johnson, j 0n last Saturday night about seven o'clock the Monroe school house bell mournfully yrang out a very solemn alarm that startled, the community. Inrpriry was made as to the startling peals. Some of us thought Os. fire, of a cyclone and while curious thoughts were revolving in our minds about the alarm,- one fellow remarked that the bell was ringing the time for Dick Eiwins to begin his speech which was to. take place at the Hocker Hall, arid we all agreed to it and went to the speech. But is was soon known, that the bell was rung for a school meeting, by the present Republican direct of, to be Held that evening for the purpose of electing a director for the ensuing year. But as the director failed to notify the citizens and patrons of the school, of the meetiiig, consequently there was no meeting, or no election. we still have a rank, red-hot Republican postmaster as director of the Monroe grade 1 school. Nevertheless he m,ak<s a- very good director. The Bern? correspondent of the Decatur ..misrepresented matters in speaking of the remarks made by one of the speakers at ti e educational meeting held .it Monroe on Monday ot last week. The correspondent among., other tlrngs said.: - ‘'The citizens ofjßerne reported a godq mri,‘tug,.c xcepti. g t.i .at.the cue of the speakers seemed to not have been-rue;.:;ven very well, and the citizens i t Mmno.-- townsnip do not believe that a young, inexperienced, grtqn teacher, of Alom-ue town.-,lop woyid.make a r county t-uperir,ten.'.tint yuan J. F. Snow.” ’AT- deny inc iylioie sentence. . There were no such remarks ntadc at the meeting. J. F. Snow’s ntme was not n.entiom.d byanv of the speakers, except , tRe trustee v. hen he mentioned of the abttfnce of Mr,. Snow on account of the illness of his brother. He further slurs the rncetuig with his vile thcughts saying, “That such a meeting was not tor the purpose oi anyone to show his ignorance by spitFng out His radical,-poliiical opinions.” The above sentence is untrue, there«was no -tick language feed that evening in the I.leering. There, yvere individuals who athemled that iceetuig jmt as and inteuigent tile correi-pondent ipd ti. y did not hear any such remarks. We have evidence of the tact that the correspondent has been misinfoftned or he is radically ignorant, and cannot comprehend a speech when he hears it without misrepresenting facts. Our teachers are neither green nor ignorant. What was said and done at that meeting was appropriate in all respects. Please do not, Mr. Cor-1 respondeht, be-so vaunting, so unjust, so torpid, so false, recreant, treacherous, rude, impolite and disrespectful toward your friends, of Monroe township." We can’t swallow it. Happy Hoosiers. Wm, Timmons. Postmaster of Id'aville, Ind., writes: -‘Electric Bitters has done more for me than all other medicines combined, for that bad feeling arising frorr kidney and liver trouble.” John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place, says: “Find Electric Bitters to be the best kid ney and liver medicine, made me feel like a new man.” J, W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: Electric Bitters is just the thing tor a man who is all run down and don’t care whether he lives or dies; he found new strength, good.appetite and felt just like he had a new lease on life, 'f-'ijly 50c. a bottle at A.

To secure the bresults. Hibbard’s. Rheumatic and Live* Pills, and Strengthening and Rheurna : Plasters should be used in connection with the Syrup. 2S-* The factories of Decatur are running yi full time.

Charles Winans, pastor of the B. >tist church here, and who lives, at Ossian, came here on last. Sabbath in a covered two-wheeled vehicle for which we k: w of no name on first sight.

Mason was in a bad s ape for some time and it was. feared lie v >uld die. -,-ixll had recovered from the t l-ct of the poisoning, at last accounts. Too many young boys are permitted bv t eir parents, to roam the streets afte'r r gjitiall and engage in frivolities. Bovs v. liib thus start out early in life to run tl-.e s reets will generally stick,to the practice ter th.-y becnme’older.
