ANNOUNCEMENT.

For thirteen successive seasons the Jasper County Agricultural Society has sent out its annual Premium List, w ith such additions and changes from year to year as were deemed best by the Directors of the Society to make the exhibition successfnl, and now the present managers and directors present to the citizens of Jasper and adjoining counties the Fourteenth Premium List of this Society, with many additions and changes which are designed to make the list more uniform and satisfactory toall concerned. Premiums in many cases have been increased and the list greatly extended. The officers and directors feel confident that these changes and additions will meet with the approval of all former exhibitors and secure a much larger exhib'-tion for our Fair, September Bth, 9th, 10th and 11th, 1885. We call the especial attention of the Ladies to our ew Floral Hall. The list of articles to be exhibited in this department is very large and gives ample c pportunity for a splendid and attractive exhibit.— It is the design and wish of the directors to make our large now Hall the center of attraction, and with the assistance of the Ladies of Rensselaer, and the co-operation of the Ladies of the countr % an exhibit surpassing all former efforts will be made..

Farmers, stockmen, and the owners of horses for speed, will find the premiums in their departments up to the times and equal to those offered by most of County or Dis ■ trict Fairs. AYe invite merchants, manufacturers and mechanics to make displays of their wares, and thereby assisting the society in their efforts to make tho Fair attractive. The Directors have wisely concluded to not sell family tickets, believing the principle to be wrong, unfair and unjust. In the way of admission, they have adopted n uniform admission fee, which is designed to be equal, every person receiving the same value for the same monev. Complimentarie.i will be given to all Superintendents in the Flo ral Hall, and we ask that they assist in every way the labors of the Awarding Committees for their respective departments, and report to the Secretary any irregularities or violations of the rules of the Society that may come to their notice.

Kentland Gazette, republican: “John Sherman’s Ohio speech makes the Democracy ho>l.” “John Sherman’s JOhio speech” makes the Indianapolis Times, a republican paper, “howl”: “We are obliged to report that as a keynote speech it falls short of the mark. There is nothing in it to alarm democrats or inspire republicans.” “John Sherman’s Ohio speech” makes the Indianapolis News, also a republican paper, “howl” that the position of Sherman was “that of a man riding backward on a railroad train: he never saw anytfiing till it was passed. Sena or Sherman’s speech shows that to be his attitude, and if it is that of the republican party as it is that of the Indianapolis Journal, then all three are going to seed.” How the doctors disagree! The big ones are inclined to fear that “John Sherman’s Ohio speech’’ is sure evidence that the party is “going to seed,’; while the little ones pronounce it “the greatest effort of his life.”

The Republican Position. Y.

reform in the civil service and reform in the tariff. If the republican party is able to turn its broadest expanse to the past and leave its record to take care of itself while it lays hold of these vital questions and demonstrates that it is the better party to solve them, it will be chosen, otherwise it will be left, and will drift to the position * * * which the late senator Morton so aptly said was that of a man riding backward on a railroad train: he never saw anything till it was passed. Senator Sherman shows that to be his attitude, and if it is that of the republican party as it is that of the Indianapi olis Journal, then all three are goj ing to seed. After all, John Sherman had no other chute than the ‘bloody-shirt’ to take. The party has not, and never had, any defined national principles. Its corner stone and foundation rock was planted in sectional hate, and it secured power through the prejudices, and passions to which it appealed, and held it for a quarter ,f century by misrepresentation, fraud and theft. Its every method and effort to secure a perpetual lease having failed, to ask a return to power that they may bring about civil service and financial reform is met with the proposition that they failed to secure those reforms when they had ample opportunity to do so. Sherman and Foraker are pursuing the only policy left them, and their only hope is in inducing their fellow-citizens to believe the fabrications woven into “bloodyshirts.” The only alternative left the Republican party is in “going to seed.”

Gainesville (Texas) HesperianTimes: The words of General Hawley’s Hartford Courant are brave, noble, patriotic: “We are one people. Shame and confusion and utter failure to the unworthy American, north or south, who, in this new day. and with Grant’s words to Buckner before his eyes, seeks te rekindle the embers of the old strife!” The “kid” comendeth the wailings of J ohn Sherman to his readers, and the above is commended to the ‘kid,’ who clingeth to John’s ‘bloody-shirt’ teachings. * -4+>-■»——..

Our Friends, the Postmaster-Edi-tors.

New York Sun: The editors of some of our esteemed Democratic contemporaries in the country towns have had the felicity of being appointed Postmasters, and many more of them are doubtless looking forward to the enjoyment of that felicity. We hope they will g t it, and we are sure they deserve it. These Democratic editors in the small towns have long done faithful service to the party, often in the face of great discouragements and with no immediate prospects of reward. They have whacked away at the It publicans year in and year out, and it is right that they should have their share in the benefits of the change for which they have worked so well.— The editor of a country paper is often his own publisher and his own printer. He usually has good business qual ties, and is fitted to be an efficient Postmaster, * * and will not neglect his office for his paper, nor his paper for his office. - Alexander H. Stephens always stuck to it that the most villainous and depraved scene ever witnessed by him was at a religious meeting. A man went up among the “mourners’ whil his wife, a handsome young woman remained on a back seat. When the husband was busily engaged in prayer, the wife was listening complacently to a wild young man who was making love to her. The Rensselaer Public Schools open next Monday, September 7th. The parents should have their children ready to enter the first day.— They should aid the teachers all they can in encouraging the children to be punctual and avoid being tardy. Jasper Co. Fair—next Tuesday.

Bro. Marshall’s idea of civii service is to retain in place all republican appointees- He is particularly distressed over the removal of lady officials. We trust the administration will rapidly cancel all appointments made to forestall its action as those enumerated in the Republican. We notice a larger proportion, of ladies are being appointed to office than has heretofore been the case, and while our neighbo - is so solicitous with reference to their removal from place, may he always remember that no Democratic administration ever sanctioned and directed the removal of a woman from this world to the world beyond.

“Jap Turpin,” in the Indianapolis Sentinel, of Wednesday, says: I lately talked with Judge Lamburt, who was Mrs. Surratt's counsel before the Military Commission that condemned her to death. He stood with his client on the scaffold and registered an oath that after a quarter of a century should have passed away, to reveal the awful conspiracy. It i > a chapter in American history stained with inexcusable blood. Since her execution he has refused large sums of money for a history of the case. He was induced to write but one article, and that was in response to a personal appeal from General Hancock, for the North American Review. When Mrs. Surratt was hanged the Repul lican press of the country said that it was all right. When General Hancock became the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, the press that had applauded received a new revelation and pronounced her “taking off” an atrocious murder. The strange part of the story is—passion having passed away—the world believed her innocent. More than his quarrel with President Johnson, his complicity in the Surratt tragedy is thought to have broke the iron constitution of EdwL. M. Stanton. Haunted by her accusing . spirit, there are people, forced to believe that he sought the grave of a suicide. The object of the partisan press was to make the Democratic candidate, if not accessory, largely responsible for the murder of an innocent woman. General Hancock commanded the department, but he was innocent of any authority ov r the commission. I suppose Mrs. Surratt’s trial, or the alleged trial and the neck breaking result, is one thing iu which Stanton had his own way. But evidence that was withheld from the consideration oi the Commission, will appear in the Judge’s book, which is to be issued next year.

White County Democrat; We chronicle this week the death of one of our oldest and most esteemed citizens, Uncle Johnny Peters. For several months Mr. Peters has been failing, and on Wednesday he passed away. He was buried under the auspices of the G. A. R., of which order he was a member. vv e can bear testimony to the fact that Mr. Peters was an obliging neighbor, true in his friendships, warm in his attachments, he was an honest, upright citizen. He was a member of the 46th Ind., and in What is known as Gen. Banks’ Cotton Expedition he was struck by a spent ball, inflicting a bruise from which he suffered to the day of h s death, but through technicalities obtruded by the exclusive friends( ?) of the soldier late in power was unsuccessful in his application for a pension. He leaves an aged, helpless widow, and we trust that Gen. Black will see that justice is done in this matter. Tuesday last J. W. Duvall received a telegram from Kansas, an. nouncing the death of Mrs. Cassius M.|Hopkins, formerly of this place. Mrs. H. was a sister of Mrs. Duvall. Her death was caused by lightning, Monday evening. Monday last, while at work on Paris barn, Ed. Smith cut a severe gash in his left hand with a hatchet Drs. Loughridge & Bitters bound up the wound.
