J H HELLER, Manasim. — i i —I — The official canvass shows that more than thirty-five thousand democrats in Indiana failed to vote.

Those who favor it should not d isguise themselves into this belief, and permit default. Activity should be shown. It is an enterprise worthy of the best efforts of everyone. Following the style adopted by the other congressional districts to meet and endorse some one, the g. o. p. legislators of the eighth district held a session at Muncie.

Round and about London and Its ever extending suburbs there may still be seen inns and taverns of great age and interesting associations. The Angel Inn, Highgate HUI, dates baek to the time of the reformation. Originally it was called the Salutation inn. It is built entirely of wood. Another famous inn is the Bald Faced Stag at Edgware. Nobody knows when it was originally built, and it would seem as though each successive propri-1 etor has endeavored to place his mark on its architectural aspect, for many ' parts of it have evidently at different' times been rebuilt. In the stables, it Is alleged, Dick Turpin had his horse’s shoes turned, so as to make his pursuers imagine be had gone in an opposite direction. Among the very oldest of suburban London inns are the Plough, at Kingsbury Green, and the King James and Tinker inn. at Enfield. The first is said to be 850 years old, and the latter was reputed to have been first built as an inn and under another name 992 years ago.

Its present name is derived from an encounter which King Janies I. is said to have had with a tinker at the door of the inn. The tinker's conversation so pleased the king that he made the mender of kettles "a knight, with flvs hundred a year."—London Mall.
