The Democrat refers to an item which it says it saw on the “home l>rint side of the Banner Times.” We would suggest that most all the news contained in the Demo (•rat it sees first in the Banner Times.
Section 2000 of the Revised Statutes of Indiana reads as follows: “Whosoever, being over fourteen years of asre, is found on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, hunting or fishing, etc., shall he fined any sum not more than ten nor less than one dollar.”
Asiatics have gotten a taste of American Hour, and they like it. They bought a million barrels of our Hour last year and will buy a good deal more in the future if the proposed duty on tea is adopted, thus giving an opportunity for reciprocity treaties with that part the world by which our farm products will get special advantages in those markets.
No department at Washington just now so absorbs the attention of the people as the splendidly-growing, fromidable navy. It is not to the gold-laced Annapolis graduates that the brunt of the responsible work falls, hut to the able Department officials, of whom Disbursing Officer K. II. Stickney is one. A
letter from him says:
“Having taken Paine's celery compound for the last few weeks, I have found it a per-
ent persons, schemers ami clerks, with only a dangerous smattering of medical knowledge, to venture to concoct so-called spring
remedies.
In sharp contrast with these risky preparations is the one valuable spring remedy worthy the name in the estimation of com petent persons aud medical authorities,
Paine's celery compound.
This widely praised and widely prized remedy really does make people well. It is as

Spring is the decisive time in the life of every person out of health. It is an assured fact that stubborn disorders become quickly curable in the spring. This is especially true of .uch persistent troubles as rheumatism, neuralgia and obstinate kidney diseases. No one, sick or well, can afford to “try

The disgusted popocrats are making bonfires of their recent campaign speeches in which they insisted that the low farm prices in this country were due to the treat ment which silver had received. The country rejected their propo sition for the free ami unlimited coinage of silver and, simultaneously with that action, prices of wheat, corn, hogs, cattle and farm pro ducts of all sorts began to rise, and have steadily advanced, while silver lias steadily gone in tlie other
direction.

The First Meeting House. To the Editor of the Itanuer Tine a. In a recent issue of your peper you allude to some of the history of our vicinity. I thought it might Ite of interest to your readers to know of the site of the first meeting house in our city, which is to be seen at northeast corner of the John Hammond homestead lot, now occupied by Jerome Allen as a resi deuce The building was constructed of logs in 1N22 and the pastor in charge was Rev. Win. Cravens. It was occupied for worship by the Methodists until 1838, when a brick building was erected on the corner of Poplar and ludi nna streets, (Langsdale corner,) which was eventually converted into a parsonage and was the first building to burn down during the great conHagration in our city in 1831. The next Methodist meeting house was built in 1844 on the corner of Poplar and Ephraim (now College avenue) and was named Roberts Chapel. It was at long.h sold to the Prcslnt. rians when I lie fourth M. E. church was erected in 1878 on the lot where the old County Seminary stood for very many years on the corner Seminary and College avenue, which was torn down to allow the foundation of the new church edifice to he laid. The meetinsr houses of 1838 and 1840 in our town were the Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian, all the buildings of the same style of architecture. Two of these buildings sliil stand in the northwest part of town made of brick, high reofed, substantial, quaint looking
buildings.
The Presbyterians built two new buildings subsequently, tlie “old” and “new” school church, both of which were burned down, one oppo site VVeik’s smith shop and the other on tlie present site of the Locust Street M. K. church. Simp sou Chapel M. E. church was built on the Bayne residence lot. Auer many years of occupancy by the Indiana conference it was taken down brick by brick. During its history a huTicane damaged it, necessitating over a thousand dol iars worth of repairs. The new Baptist church then just completed and the last payment made on it, was razed to the ground by the same hurricane. The Locust Street church was built almost to completion. walls up. roof on but windows not in when a wind storm caused it to collapse, hut it was immediately rebuilt. It is evident that the destroying elements have held sway with the “tooth of time" in bearing away our church buildings iu Greencastle. Ye Oldest Inhabitant.

what transpired there.
Those attending the recital last night at music hull were constantly annoyed by a gang ot young men, who, taking hack seats, indulged in sufficient noise, tittering, petty, underhanded, to render the recital anything but enjoyable for those who sat in their vicinity. These men do not enjoy the music them selves and, like the dog in the man get - , permit no one else to enjoy it They should remain away of thur own accord hereafter, or come pre pared to behave as gentlemen should

The reception rooms were very attractive with the ‘•black, white and gold” gracefully draped amid the palms, carnations and roses. There was a special DePauw room, radiant with its yellow furnishing, which called forth many admiring comments, among its special features ol interest, were an extract, fro n the col lege yell, and a picture of “Old Jack:” But it was the south parlor decorated with the colors of all of the fraternities represented in DePauw and with the inscription on the wall “Welcome Greeks” that attracted the greatest attention of the guests. Not merely tecaitse of the artistic arrangement of the various handsome ribbons, but for the truly fraternal spirit manifested by the entertaining chapter.
