Members of the Jackson Club are booming their picnic at Fern Cliff, near Grcencastle, next Sunday. Each member wears a small round badge on which the date of the picnic is printed. Fern Clill' is described by those who have been there as a most beautiful place. The Jackson Club members will haye a force of men next week arranging the refreshment stands, etc., everything will be in readiness when the big crowd arrives. The Ringgold Hand will accompany the excursion train witch leaves the Union Station at 8:30 in the morning. The fare will be 70 cents for the round trip. No stops will be made

turn. It never came. The artist then began selling cull-buttons which lie said were worthless for one dollar a pair. These were snapped up quit kef than a blackbass takes a Martinsville fly until about fifty were sold. The crowd of guys, jays, jaspers and oscars were now thoroughly hypnotized and easily went up against the next feature of the game which was watches. The fellow would put a bill looking like a ten or a twenty in the watch case which in reality was a one. These were quickly purchased at live dollars a grab. As a matter of news to the pur chasers we will state that the watches cost at wholesale $1.35 per dozen. That is about 11 cents each. At five dollars it will readily be seen teat they yield the fakir what, is known as a living profit. It heats the Dutchman's one per cent., by some. Men went up against that game with their eyes open like hugs against an electric light. Some of them worked hard for their money but in the old de sire to get something for nothing they fell all over each other in getting the money into the stranger’s box. The takir did not misrepresent a thing. He told his dupes his goods were worthless and asked them just before he drove to his train if fhey were satisfied—they were. In about a month some other fakir will he here. He will land suckers all right, for one is born every minute, and it seems that they are quite prolific in

Sweet music was discoursed between the efforts of the orators of the day. The orations were of all varieties, fiom grave to humorous. The crowd was quiet and orderly, and the -lick citizen with Ins gam chance and traps for the unwary, was conspicuous by his absence. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, J. V. Durham; vice president, G. W. Hanna; secretary, A. J. Farrow; treasurer, J. T. Cloilfelter. The officers will meet at Morton, Ind., the tirst Thursday in April 18116 to arrange a programme for the next annual reunion.
