S&Uird. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 14. 1877.

A MASS MEETING?

Tn th© interest of the I. D. & C. BR will be held at the Court Hnus’s.' to inorrow. The President of th' Rind .rid other prominent railroad men \ ill be present. Let there be a full t tendance. All the plans for the new State House, before the Commissioners, have been rejected by them. A Kentucky newspaper says that . n investigation of the State records i how that not a single man or woman in the whole common wealth is undei ihe present laws legally mairivd. It is now claimed that Toxas has a population of 1,750,000 f and the wis> prophesy that by 1880 its will ha w more than 2,ooo,ooo—thus giving tin State twenty representatives in Con gross. West, the radical candidate for Governor of Ohio, says !;<■ ii<itlui ants contraction nor inflation, but wants matters to remain ju-t as they re. Under this theory, we suppose, if a man gets his fingers into a .steel trap he should leave them there. Texas is virtually giving away her public lands. The head of a family ■ ■an get 160 acres for the expense of the patent and survey, amounting to about sls. By this it is expected that a tide of emigration will set in rapidfy for the Texan border.

Real carefully the article on first *?p<tge of this paper under the caption of “The Bank Reserves.” It is a complete refutation of the declaration of shat arch deceiver, John Sherman, Returning Board Hayes’ Secretary of the Treasury, to that monI ey is plenty—vast sums lying idle foi want of the productions of industry to put it in circulation. Sherman is violent advocate of contraction and i< sumption. Let resumption, under the radical policy, come, and every man in debt will become a bankrupt.

Brace up, young man, and attend the Fair next week, and bring the “dear one of your heart” with you, so that you can dispense with, for one day at least, singing of “the gii II left behind me.” You have our permission to buy a dollar’s worth of jewelry with a niakel—if you can—with which to ornament herpersui. S'and gallantly beside her, and as you gaze upon that.“every time the v. h el goes tound” institution, be sure and “ watch the indicator. Manifestyour affeciien for the girl you love by spe’ndirigyour money for watermelons, pop-corn ’‘and sich.”—Take her into the side show and gaze upon the elephant. Place yourself beside her in one of those “sky-scraping” swings, and talk ro her of the “sweet by-and by”;; do all this, if you will for it is ennobling, tout, for the sake of heaven do notei.* gage in the “bucking against the tiger” game, for we warn you that if you do, your pocket-book will have she appearance of a buckwheat sake,, and will be as destitute of the "needful” as a kangaroo is of algeba; —you will have the “experience” and the- other fellow will have the “stamps”; and you will go home with an expression written upon your face so. wo-begone that your mother won’t know you.

The Stealing of Stark’z Horse.

A readable article on the Battle of Bennington and its particular hero, General Stark, is published in Harper’s Magazine for September. We find in it this advertisement, showing that Stark’s horse was lost while he was engaged in a reeonnoisance on foot during the action. The “ad” originally appeared in the Connecticut Courant (ancestor of the Hartford Courunt) for October 7, 1777: TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD. Stole from me the subscriber, from Walloomscock, in the time of action, the 16th of August last, a brown mare, live years old, had a star In her forehead. Also, a doe-skin seated saddle, blue housing trim’d with white, and a curbed bridle. It is earnestly requested of all committees of safety and others in authority, to exert themselves to recover said thief and mare, so that he may be brought to justice, and the mare brought to me; and the person whoever he be, shall receive th# above ' reward for both, and for the mare alone one naif of that sum. How scandalous, how disgraceful and ignominious it must appear to all friendly and generous souls to have such sly, artful, designing villains enter into the field in the time of action in order to pillage, pilfer and plunder from their brethren when engaged in battle., John Stark, B. D. G. Bennington, 11th Sept. 1877.

THE NEW SPRING & SUMMER STOCK OF IT ■ GtWDS Just Opened by LFEHI, CONSISTS OF 1 Staple Articles that are in demand and that civilized people must use, whether the times be flush or dull, business is at ebb or flow, or money is plentiiul or scarce. No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my

Stock of Goods FOR THE Spring and Summei trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was trained to the choosing of articles whose DUR BILITY'and PRICE would recommend them to a community that is anxious to adapt themselves to the circumstances which now surround everybody in the United States. But this did not prevent the purchase of a stock that will compare favorably in point of beauty with anything to bo found in this market, while Tug Mri July and Lm Prices of the fabrics must necessarily recommend them in an especial manner to people of judgment, prudence and economizing desires. No special enumeration of the articles comprising this new stock is deemed necessary from the fact that I deal in all articles usually found in collections of

General Merchandise, in inland towns, but it may be well enough to say that Best Dress Goods, Best Readv-Made Clothing Boots, Shoes, Hats,. Caps, Standard Groceries, Etc,, are kept in addition to the assortment es dress fabrics and other dry goods. Calls for inspection and purchase respectfully invited. It. FENDIQ.
