An Editor's t'redieainent. A brother editor who had to contend with a swell wedding, horse race and drunken printers, got his article mixed up like this: -Tie bride was a vision of loviness as she came up the aisle, holding a boijuet of roses in her hand, and as she past under the wire a wild cheer went up for the filly, winning ivy a neck in a hard fought race.” Then came some more wedding, winding up with—“the groom is well known here; his coat shone like satin and his superb knee action made him an instant favorite in the pools.” Then came this; “Miss Smith, the maid of honor looked bewitching in fleecy mull; a tumultuous storm of applause came from the dense throng as she swung into the last quarter and came tearing down the stretch, showing daylight between her and the big black. Sbe was a easy winner.” It is needless j to say, the editor is now in the hap py hunting grounds.— Kx.

As a local newspaper, well-edited, the Newcastle /’re.** is quite an improvement under its new management. It is now a daily the Newcastle people should lie proud of. The average country newspaper is now crying for the Horr-Harvey debate to open up the way for the delinquent subscriber to bring in coin iu payment for subscription overdue all the way from 10 to one years.

Ilcaltli IttilfK for tl»t» Kicyt lt*. Philadelphia Ledger. Some of the following points for wheeling, given by an English surgeon, are familiar, others are new and are good for pedestrians also: 1. Never t itle within half an hour of a meal, which means either before or tifter. 2. Wheel the machine up any hill the mounting of which on the wheel causes any real eftbrt. .'1. See that the clothing round the stomach, neck and chest is loose. 4. Have the handle bar sufficiently raised to prevent stooping. 5. Be assparing as possible of taking fluids during it long ride. Rinsing the mouth thoroughly, as well as gargling with cold water, will quench the thirst as well, if not better than, taking fluids into the stomach in large quantities. (!. Except the wind, roads, etc., be favorable, never ride more than ten miles an hour, except for very short distances. 7. Never smoke while riding. Attention to these points will tend to relieve the pressure on the right side of the heart, breathlessness will largely be prevented, and even persons with certain forms of heart disease may ride with safety.

MORTON'S BURGLARS.

CT«Hlf«*iter aV limitin’ Store Kobbed. Safe Blown to I'lect'M.

On last evening late the general store of Clodfelter <fe Bettis at Mor

j ton. was entered by burglars and j robbed to a queen’s taste. EnI trance to the store was easily made ' ami then the robbers deliberately planned for what proved to be a very successful haul. They went to work on the large safe and the wreck left showed they knew their business. The outer door was blown outwards and the inner door was blown inwards. The burglars secured between fifty and one hundred dollars in money and took some other articles. They got away with the swag and there is no apparent clue to work on, at least, notliing so far developed. It was said that they left a set of blacksmith’s tools at the store, a chisel of which outfit, was stolen about a week ago from Frank's blacksmith shop. This starts a theory that local talent may have had a hand in the robbery. It is thought by others that the work was that of crooks who were on their way to Fern today. Value of Advert iHlng. Some men fail to appieciate the value of advertising because they do not understand the principles that underlie it. Their experience may have b< en unfavorable through their Ignorance of the art. Men who put a card in the newspaper and leave it there week after week and month after month, without giving it futber attention, do not reap the benefits they would if they handled it with the same care that they ordinarily give their show windows. A successful merchant does not fill up his display windows with goods and leave them without a change week after week and month after month, and yet we sometime find obtuse advertisers who do that with the space they occupy in the newspaper. Fortunately for them, and ol advantage to the reading public, they are learning better and it is only now and then that we find a merchant or a railway company wtio deprecates advertising as a means of winning busines 1- ,. KuiiiBrMK** Fair Notex. The (lireetor» of the fair at their meetitig last Saturday decided to build a new fruit anil agricultural hall, which is in progress of construction. The exact number of entries in the floral hall up to Thursday was a40. That department promises to be a fair in itself. G. J. Marsh, of Ashland, Neb., is expected today with his string of tine race-horses. The first bang-tailed t miner to show up at the grounds was Lost Morris, of Indianapolis. The base ball game Thursday between Greencastle and Ladoga is creating a great deal of interest. The purse is $25. George War. ionth, of Clayton, will pilot Ben Harrisi n through the free-for-a I pace. The cattle show promises to be the best ever seen in the county. Bill posters were in Greencastle Thursday. There will be seven contestants for the oratorical from Greencastle, Russellville, Bainliridge, Roachdaie and New Maysville. There are so many stands and shows that the fair ground looks like a city. A. R. Allison and G. VV. Starr advertised in some of the towns along the Motion route this week. Frank Gill, of Ladoga, will be at the fair with his mottled .lavas and poultry Ferris wheel. MioottiiK at Lafayette. Concerning the shooting tourney now on at Lafayette the Courier says: Doc Britton, known as Partington, with per cent., birds killed yesterday, only quit $10 win.ler on the day’s shoot. All the experts in attendance say they have shot iu a number of tournaments but never say the averages made at the present shoot. Yesterday’s shoot according to crack shots in attendance was the best averages ever made in the west. Out of 135 targets, Partington only missed 8, Grube 11, Gamble 14, Thomas 14, Trimble 12. McDonald 14, Rex 10, Livenguth 14, Hill 15, Park Hi, Fleming 14. Elliott 15. Stipps out of 145 targets only missed 28. This is indeed wonderful shooting.

MAKING GOOD SCORES- * re Co in par y I Boy* Camp Fairvlew. fioOft Grub I'oraKrd. Special Correspondence Banner Times. Faikmev, July 25—Lieut. Starr is just forming the company to go swimming, everybody wants to go, and this is the only way it can be don*-, as an officer must accompany every squad that goes out. A large squad of the Bloomington watermelon eaters have availed themselves of the opportunity, and have formed in the rear of Co. I. We have no “kicks coming’’ against the rank and file of Co. H. hut it seems that their officers are only waiting to get even with us, for some unknown injury which they seem to think we hate done them. The very name, Greencastle. seems to have a bad taste in their mouths. Maybe their officers did not get their share of the melons. The third batallion, to which we belong, had rifle practice today. Co. I stood exceedingly well. Gardner making a score of 24 points at 100 yards, the best that had been yet made on the range. Corp’l Wood stood next in the company, w>t!i a score of 21. All persons making a score of 15 or over atone range were qualified to shoot in the next higher range. About one half of our men qualified for 200 yards, anti four, Satfdy, Alice, Reis ing and Gardner for 300 yards On account of the lack of time the firing bad to be very rapid, else we would have done much better. “Reddy” MeCrav, the irrepressi hie, appeared upon the • stage last night, and had another mark added to his long list, this one. though, was of a rather negative sort. ‘ Reddy” met Corp’l Robbins in a friendly boxing match, honors seemed to he about even, when suddenly “Reddy” hit the ground fiat on his hack. A great cheer went up from the spectators, among whom was Chaplain Timberlake, of the First, who enjoyed the performance so well that he made a great stoty of it at headquarters, setting it off with original illustrations. ‘Reddy” of course, was not hurt in the least. It seems as if camp regulations arc getting stricter every day; citizens arc not now allowed to sell eatables in camp. These rules don’t worry the veterans of Co. I for as long as money holds out they will have what they want, rules and regulations to the contrary are not efiective. Mathias goes out eyery day to fill his bed sack, but when the sack comes back it contains something more eatable than straw. Trumpeter Dillon makes nightly visits out of camp, coming back with cans of oysters and other contraband goods under his coat. I). F. A.

Every summer there is a lot of ehalVing over the devil tending shop while the pastors are away for their summer vacations, and there have been some very solid rocks of truth in the chaff bag. It the devil has a preference in seasons, he certainly takes summer. The open air enjoyments; the idle, happy life; the lack of thought for tomorrow: all tend more or less to a a relaxng of moral restrictions. In the midst of this lettingtlown of the liars, the pastor snatches op his grip and hies for the sea. This gives the tlevil a clear field, and he asks no favor.
