There will be preaching in ‘he Baptist Church, on next Sunday at half post, two o'clock. A number of people from the Clark, neighborhood, were (baptized at this place last Sabbath. We understand that A. J. Peoples, who had a sale last Saturday, will move to Decatur in the near future. Flo.vd Brittson spent the Sabbath with his parents, and by the wav there seems ’ to be other attractions here for Floyd. The Saints are holding a series of meetings in the town hall, located on Main street and at present occupied by James • Bogner. The Pleasant Mil’s literary has just been re-organized and new offi ers elected who will endeavor to make the society a success in the future as it has been in the past. It is reported on the sly that there will be a quiet wedding in town before three , moons. Now we wonder if it wouldn’t be 4 policy t > call together the sooth sayers and gossipers of the town, that we may learn the names interested? The parties who are in the habit of placing wires across the sidewalk after dark, that some one may receive a tall are known and should it be repeated we are told their names will be handed to the proper authorities. So boys be careful. Last Monday morning we met Wm. Hill whose face beamed with smiles which - we caught as if by magic after he told us that it was a boy, and that he meant to teach him to be a good democrat. J. W. seems so elated that we think a common size over coat will make him a tight vest.

We were always taught that the Sabbath day is a day for rest and consecration, when man should lay aside work of all kinds, except in the service of his Creator. But this was far from being observed, for on last Sabbath as we were quietly going through town thinking that all mankind wete enjoying rest, peace and quietude, when suddenly a noise attracted our attention as the flowing of water which upon closer observation proved to be the grist mill in full operation while upon the river we beheld boys and girls of all ages and sizes making a sound of revelry which echoed asd re echoed through the town. Thinking that-perhaps their parents were at divine worship, we turned our steps to ward the churches and on arriving we Tound the doors bolted which mused us to think of the training that parents were giving their children and the great responsibility that rested upon them in bringing np . children in the way they would have them go, and if they would do this we think they Ought to organize a Sabbath school and give them the proper training in this nursery tint they may become bright and shining lights in society and wo thy of the name man or woman • h ■ ’ ~ A Husband’s Mistake.

There were quite a number of plain , drunks at the fox chase on the 16th. I The young ■ people ot this burg had a 'social on the 17th at the Hirschey mani sibn. 1 The C. &E. railroad company are put- ! ting up swtich lamp posts that are four--1 tetn feet high. * Mrs. Ella Gearing, of Huntington. is I visi ing her parents here this week. Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Briner. I Charles Miller and Miss Maggie Gess ler were bound in the holy bonds of mat1 rimony at the Reform parsonage by Rev. i Ed. Varnhold. January iSth. May peace and prosperity go with them. On the 14th, inst, Harmon Linderman I was married to Miss Emma Soward, of | Wells county, after which a supper was j given in their honor. The next day I the happy couple started to Fort Wayne ! to spend the honeymoon. The fox chase bn the 16th was a grand success throughout. There being 600 people to form the ring. While we only caught one sly* reyn ard there were tour fox and four wild turkeys seen and rabbits too numerous to make mention of. Peo pie from all parts cf the county were present to help swell the crowd, and everybody was happy. After the ring was formed, James Sales, of Bluffton, was i the first man to make the first chase, his time being t-n Ynn ites; failing to catch Mr. Fox. Grant Ball was then turned • loose who succeeded in capturing the wearried reynard, the fi *ld marshal then had the fox killed and offered for sale to the highest bidder. There were quite a number of minor bids, but the first bid of any note was from Joseph Rose, it being $5 00. Harmon Wicking not being exactly satis tied with that bid made it s&co with the remark that it Rose wanted the fox he must “bloom” up which he did to the tune of SIO.OO. Harmon then struck him with another bid and made it $ll.OO, which carried off the prize. One of the most noted features of the day were the ladies present whi,h numbered about seventy five. Just here I will say that one woman is worth thjsee men towards scaring a fox, especially when she begins to shake her petticoats and hollow. After the selling of the fox there were three cheers given for Bluffton, hoping to meet again for the same purpose, after which we returned home feeling as though we were amply paid for our trouble. t

Serofuia All His Life. I consider my cure by S. S. S. one Os the most wonderful on record. I had the worst type ot scrofula from my infancy until I was 22 years of age. My whole young life was embittered and made rnis-erable.-by the loatnsome disease, I not only suffered from the scrofula, but was so marked that I was ashamed to associate with, and was avoided oy, my playmates and fellow workmen I tried every known patent medicine, and was first and last attended by more than a dozen reputable physicians, but in s(iite of al’, the disease continued t > grow worse. A>x>ut tour years ago a irien 1 f.om Pittsburg advised me take S. S. S , which I did, and after taking seven bottles I was cured sound and well. The'old skin peeled off' and was repl iced by a new skin, as sm»th and tree fiom bl mi*h as my person. I have had no return or symptoms of the di ease. Henry V. Smith, Belmont, Ky.

Women’s Suffrage Plank. Mr. Editor:—Mrs. Holloway in her rep’y to John Elzey on the above subject says that the Bible leaches, and she concedes that in "Christ there are neither male nor females, but that ail are one,” but tries to avoid the conclusion that man and wife are one, bv declaring that the account of the creation as given by Moses was prophetic and not given as a com mand. Christ says in the sth and 6th verses of the 19th chapter of Matthew, “For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife and the twain shall be one flesh; wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh; what therefore God hath joined together let no man put a*-under.•* And again- Paui says in the sth Ephrians. 23rd and 24th verses “For the husband is the head of thwife, even as Christ is the head ot the church; and he is the Savior of the body—therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, sQlet the wives be to their own husbands in everything;” and again, in the □Sth verse of the same chapter, he says, "So ought men to love their wives as lhe : r own holies; he that lovethhis wife loveth himself.” I submit that the scriptur,s abundantly piove the assertion, that man and wife are one, and not two as the ad vocates of female suffrage declare. If< tru , then the wife cannot truly say that she is taxed withßut rep esentation. In a scriptural view-it appears clear to us that as between husband wife that all property owned by either or both is a common property, that they each individually own all of it. The civil law would say they own it inthery, that it could not be disposed of by fither without the, other’s con sent, and at the death of one the survivor fakes it all. If we Are as Christians one in Christ, and if husband and wife are one person,does not the wile have representation upon her husband’s acts, Urey come together and the vote is cast in the interest of both, (if there is a both.) But Mrs. Holloway says, that the language of Moses is prophetic and not a command. Is not all scripiuie given by inspiration? Is a truth expressed in -.a prophetic way any the less true, if so the whole decalogue is prophetic. There is no truth in the declaration. “Thou shalt not kill” for it was given to man; he lived before Christ and given as a prophecy. Does not the ex perience of every person of mature years prove the truth of the scripture theory, that man and wife are onep- If they are one in sentiment, or e in principle, one in theory, they’ will be one in practice, in that home is happiness, but where they disagree, where the wife refuses to submit to her husband or where the husband re fuses and fails to live with his wife, there is discord, there is misery and unhappiness Causejproduces effect, and the same cause will at all times oroduce the same result, all things being equal. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon. Imagine female suffrage established, the husband supporting one party the wife another, in the midst of a heated campaign, when often the best of friends fall out; how would it be with that wife and husband. Would they be a fit representation of Christ and his church? Yes, Bro. Elzey, the iemale suffrage plank has driven men from the Prohibition party, and will continue to do so. I once acted with that party, believed then as I do now, that the best remedy for the destruction of intoxication was total and absolute prohibition of the manufacture and sale of all intoxicants, but if it can only be attained through the breaking down of the marital relation, and if marriage is to be declared a simple civil-contract which parties can break at will, then we had better submit to the saloon, it is the lesser- evil of the two. But Sister Holloway says that Pau 1 is not authority for the rea-on that he wa< dealing with local, not general matters Paul says in the 39th verse of the 14th chapter of Frst Corinthians, “If any man thinks himself a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord." Paul appeared to think that he had authority to write the command ments of the Lord. If he had the commandments must be for all men. yet we ere not all left Also Peter says in the Ist verse of the first book and 3rd chapter, * Likewise ye wives be in subjection to your own husbands, that if any obey not the word they also may without the word be wisely the conversation of the wives ’• If Peter is right it was the duty of the wives to' submit to the husband, not he to them. Tlie husband should make the laws not the wife. We have considered this subject in the I’ght of scripture alone in this short article. While there can be much said on the subject from a physical and social standpoint, yet it seems to us that the teachings of the scaipture is onTt verified by what they teach and that alb who believe in the scripture ought to be willing tj be controlled by them. There is a condemnation promised to them that add to or take from the scripture. That sh< uld be a sufficient warning ’o all. E. G. COVF.RDALE.

Nearly Ready to Fly. The long taike.l «-• t, t e much disputed the derided, the' vaunted Mount Carmal air-ship is atriast in Chicago. Its machinery.Jts car a, Jd bu nancy chamber nailed up in huge boxes are at the Polk street station, where they arrived Monday morning. Last October Chicago was to.d that for a week a dozen men had been at the Grand Pacific in earnest discussion ot a pla.. which sounded like a tale from the “Arabian Nights. Th s plan was to navigate the air at the rate of 200 miles an hour. The air-ship was to make the transportation ot the mails equal to the telegraph arfd relegate the raiho d to theca, s of th. st-ige coat h. It was sa d that tl esc iut n Claimed to backed by a powerful English syndicate and a capita l ot $20,000 000Chicago and me «irui c Uniud States he.d its brc*.ui in a-t >ntsh nent at the px-sio 1ity _ot the gieatest rw.ilut on in histmy and the gigantic nature of what m'ght be the ia est * take;” Tue intch r.e which now: lies at the .‘.epot is ne.ther the model which is said .to have indue*, d capitalists to put millions into the scheme, noris it the ship which is promi cd shortly to circle the entire globe, discover the north pole, and trace the course of the Congo. Its buoyancy chamber is about thirty feet long and the entile machine in position is about eleven teet high. Mr. Pennington, the inventor, wh 1 is now at the Grand Pacific, says it is brought to Chicago on his own lesponsibili y. without consulting the stocknolcers, his iuea being to demonstrate to the people w hen his secret was first made public, t* st the theory of the air-ship is'perfect practiced e. Having been bitterly attacked and having had differences with men in Mount Carmel in whose shops a part of the machinery was being built, there have been serious delays in the construction of the large ship. Mr. Pennington says he owes it to the public, to show that something has actually been done, and that his scheme is not a mere dream. More than that, having learned a lesson from other revolutionary inventions, he believes it good policy to educate the general public in aerial navigation beiore sending torth the full fledged invention which might frighten in place of attract, as was the case with the railroad and the steamer. Hence the present visit to Chicago. When seen at the Pacific neiiher Mr. Pennington nor the stockholders, who were in consultation with him, seetntd at all to be disturbed by criticism because oi the delay. All seemed to have confidence in early success, and said it wa o through no fault ot the inventor that the public had been disappointed. It is announced that about three days will be required to put the various parts of the machinery together. It will then be shown publicly at the Exposition building, making its entire circuit. If the use of that building be refused another will be secured. The exhibit however, is positively announced for this week. The stockholders will meet at the Grand Pacificwhen it is said a 10 percent assessment on the capital stock, of $20,000,000 will be paid.
