Diedt In the Bluffton Bugle on last Sunday morning the following article appeared. “In an article in the Saturday Issue its Eublisher* »ay: “With this edition of the ugle we bid our many reader* good-bye, not because of any desire on our part, but because necessity demands it. Although our stay ha, been short, our expectations looked further into the future, but we submit to the inevitable. Our only thought has been for the benefit and wellfare of the community, and our strenous efforts to publish a |Hve and interesting paper have me. with ready comment. We can say with pride that Bluffton is the only city of 4,500 inhabitant* in the whole Union that publishes a seven column paper. and again it is ihe only city with that population in tha. United State that has two daily papers. As to to support of two, well . The Bugle is the only paper that has succeeded in establishing itself, but like many a mad it has been murdered in cold blood by a vicous octopus. We came as stranger* and labored as strangers and not for one moment did we grovel in the dust and debase ourselves bv taking a bite from another* mouth. A living was all we asked, but that we have failed to get, as is evidenced by our struggle during tl e last two months. We have gained many iriends—and good ones—during our residence here, which we will remember in the day* of our prosperity. We thanh the citizens of Bluffton heartily for their support and sincerely hope they may soon see the day when two daily papers will thrive. As to the continuation of tho Bugle we cannot say, and leave it to the future. If we have given voice to expressions that have caused enemies, we humbly ask them to forgive u.s “Live and let live," we have always believed in, and believe in still, therefore our discontinuance and good-bye.” Purdue University. LaFayettjt Ind., Aug. 9, 1592. Dear Sir:—T ~ .Gjstees of Purdue University deem' desirable to bring the farmers of the' state into closer relationship with the University, and to increase the number ot students who come from the rural districtsZ*d who expect to return to the farm. irefore make to each County Farmers’ r-iititute A.socialion, Pomona Grange, County Farmers Alliance, County Assembly F. M. B. A., and County organization of P’ of I the the following proposition: We will place at the the disposal of you County Association, for the year commencing Sept. 7, 1892, two scholarships that relieve the holder from all matriculation, incidental and laloratory fees of the University. These scholorehip* are good for those only who take the regular agricultural course. They are outside of the regular county appointments,and while they do not provide for domitory privileges they are equal to them in value. The candidates sh ould be chosen by Vte of the county Association. A which may be filled out, will be sent to those who will have occasion to use it. I respectfully request your hearty co-opera-tion, and suggest tnat you present this officially to your organization, or through the newspaper of your county to the people. In case there is no meeting of any association prior to Sept. 7th, from which a scholarship may bsdesired the Executive Comittee, or President and Secretary of said association may authorize the appointment. Correspondence addressed as below will meet with prompt attention. Very truly yours, H. Smart, Pres. Needed Legislation. Some Legislator can immortalize himself by preparing a bill and getting a statute enacted that will make it a penal offence for a man to get drunk, and upon conviction the officer trying the case shall have the power and it shall be his duty to send the offender to some institute for the cure of Inebriates; that the term shall be not less than sixty days and as much more as the otters in charge of the institute would think necessary to cure the individual of drunkene»s. Then our jails can be used for a place of treatment. It they should refuse to take the treatment they could be coerced by the officers. This would beat all the temperance laws that have ever been passed by the State if it was property enforced. The moderate drinker might have a chance to be very careful abrnt his drinks on the sly and would not come home with a bad breath so many nights as he now does. If the constitution will admit ot it we say let it bs done--1 — — «* s—■ Niagara Falls anti Toronto.

We are under obligations to Comrade Hale the quartermaster of the 3rd regiment of the Indiana Legion for a copy of the Evening News of Frankfort containing a picture of himself and Col. Haste. The paper is full of the doings of the soldier boys, but from the looks of the picture we are sure the boys misrepresent the quartermaster when they say he was trying to imitate Jerry Simpson the sockless statesman of bleeding Kansas. The Sunday school celebration yesterday in the Zimmerman grove was a success despite the rain that fell the day before and the night and morning by 9 oclock the grounds were dried off and the grove was in fine condition.

There is more joy in a printing office over one sinner who pays in advance and abuses the editor on every occasion, than ninety and nine who borrow the paper and sing its praises without contributing a cent to keep it out of the poor house.
