Democrats! attend your township conventions. Saturday, May 29, 1886. Democrat -, prepare for action! Conventions will be held in the several townships in Jasper county, on Saturday of next week, May 29th, for the purpose of selecting delegates to the County Convention, which will be held in Rensselaer on the Saturday following, June 5 th, 1886. e * * “Brother James has left a message for his editorial brethren, especially those of Rensselaer, whic 1 ' we hope will be taken in friendship; and trust that his friendly admonitions will have a tendency to clear those journals of the kind of articles that have appeared in them of late, and thus better themselves and their readers.” —Remington News. Ha!-ha!-ha! How easily you are gulled! Horace didn’t mean a word of it. His career as a journalist in other years, when neither age, sex or condition were proof against his attacks, will not sustain it. Estimating the source, so |far as we are concerned, we accept his “friendly admonitions” as the sheerest hypocrisy—the shallowest pretense. Bro. James gives “A Bit of Ancient History,” in the Message this week. The dispute calling it forth is not of a character requiring us to meddle; we hope to continue our representation in the Senate with a Democrat. But the year alluded to —1874—brings vividly to mind

the Met that that was the precise period,too, when our distinguished brother first “asserted his individuality.” Brutus had his Ctesar, but the late Cousul at that time had his Price, in the person of one Charles H., of pleasing memory. The flag of ‘asserted individuality’ trailed in the dust for a short time and then its bearer kicked back into his old party traces. On the ascendancy of Hayes, thro’ the theft of the Presidency, after a term of weary watching andjpraying he was tendered the Consulshin to Turk Island, a land where birds “deposit their wealth in the sand.” His love, devotion and affect on for the people of J asper county prompted him to decline the honor. A pilgrimage to Washington resulted in the fraudulant occupant of the White Hous removing Mr. Sigler, and elevating over, at that time, a fourth-class postoffice, our distinguished friend and brother of the Message.

The new display of Goods, selected and bought by such a combination of experience and taste as Mr. and Mrs. Ludd Hopkins may justly claim to have, will certainly sell at the prices offered. With the permission of Providece, the endorsement of a Republican convention, and the sullen consent of Mr. James, S. P. Thompson issues his Message, in which he declares himself willing to risk the chances in a senatorial race. Trot lum out! The business of W. J. Wright deceased, will continue, under the management of Park Wright, who is authorized to settle all claims and collect all moneys due.

It i 1 a notorious fact that Leopold gives greater bargains than any other house in town. Call and examine for yourself. To make it generally known to all interested, will say that the Furniture and Undertaking business of the late W. J. Wright will not be discontinued, but will be conducted by Park Wright, who hopes to retain his father’s friends his friends, and secure the patronage of many more by square dealing with all. Park Wright.

Miraculous Escape.

W. W. Reed, druggist, of w inch* j s M ter, Ind., writes: “One of my customers, Mrs. Louisa Pike, Har onia. Ranhandolpbg Co., Ind., was a long sufferer with Consumption, aud was given up to die by her physicians, dhe beard of Dj King’s New Diseov eiy for Consumption, and egan ouyiug it sf me.

B Meyer’s Drug Store. 6 We have bought Mr. Farden’s stock at such figures as to enable us to sell at his closing-out prices Hemphill & Honan.

BARKLEY ITEMS.

Plowing for and corn planting is the order of the day at present. Tom Florence and brother started for their future home in sunny Kansas last Tuesday morning. We learn that Marsh. Steele, while fooling with a revolver, discha'ged a ball through his hand. It is very likely it will lame him for life. George H. Brown and Quick, of this township, had four head of cattle killed b; lightning Tuesday of last week. They were insured. F. M. Parker is having a new barn erected. Geo. Andrus and Son are the builders. Church at Brushwood next Sunday night. Everybody invited. Theodore Hurley, of Blackford, has purchased a new wagon and set of harness, and desires to buy a team Quite an abundance of rain and hail last week. Culverts, bridges and roads in bad condition. It is rumored that a dog was shot the other day, for killing sheep, and that a liw suit may result May 18. You Know Who.

PARK WRIGHT.

DUNNVILLE. SQUIBS.

. No squibs last week, for the reason that it was all we could do to keep our heads above high water mark. John Dunn has commenced to paint the town red. T. M. Jones has been on the sick list for ar out a week, but is now convalescent. P. E. Davis, we understand, intends running a wagon for the Hebron creamery. If the people of this district must b represented by a Republican, for God’s sake give us some one whose ambition soars beyond a load of baled hay! Our merchants still glare at each other, from across the street, with blood in their eyes. There are a few people in and about Dunnville who are forever cursing the place and the couidrv around it. To such we say—Go west, and grow up with the country. We can spare you. Many farmers will be obliged to re-plant their corn on account of the late heavy rains. P. Behtes, from Chicago, has moved one-half mile north of this place. Our citizens were favored, last Saturday, in front of S. J. Bentley’s store, with quite a lengthy debate. Subject : “Ash hopper philosophy.” Our new neighbor was almost overcome by the shoulder-hitting argument that he was obliged to digest last Saturday. Two of Rensselaer’s best citizens were in Kankakee last week looking up and surveying a ditch. The young people here are anxiously awaiting the completion of the black-smith’s new residence, which signifies a “hop.” John Graves, from DeMotte, has moved into the house lately occupied by A. Way. May 18, ’B6. Kankakee.

WALKER ITEMS.

Cold and wet. Some corn planted. Oats are not looking so well since the late heavy rains. Mr. Geo. Fritz, of Wanatah, was home on a visit last week. Frank Nicholas and Chas. Stalbaum seem to be very fond of German and French wines. Mr. Jake Wenrick is selling dish pans at present. Sunday school at Center school house at 9 o’clock a. in., and at Hershman at 3 p. m. It is reported that F. N. and C. S. will soon be married. Pasturage is good at present. Health is generally good. Republicans dissatisfied with the result in their late convention. Robert Zick has got the logs out for his new house. May 17, ’B6. Uncle Ben.

UNION HEMS.

Weather cool and water plenty. The hail storm did considerable damage to the growing wheat and rye by breaking ihe stalks. Window panes were shattered, and a calf belonging to Mrs. Hall was killed. The long grade is almost impassable, and Daniel Mellen, supervisor, has warned out a sufficient number of hands to put in order that portion lying in district No. 2. Amos Alter is improving a piece of new land for corn. Allen Edwards has moved into the house lately vacated by Bronson W. Harrington. Walt. Wiseman is very sick with paralysis. Frank Johnson’s new louse is rapidly approaching completion. Mrs. Robert Swaim was taken very ill on the 12th inst. Dr. Alter was summoned and pronounced it a severe attack of paralysis. James Blake is living in the house lately vacated by Jacob Myers. Jas. Longstreth will soon move his saw mill into this township. V great many of our citizens receive their mail through the Blackford post-office, and are well pleased with the appointment of Henry Darner as postmaster a* that place. Theodore Hurley has made an excellent p. m., but we believe that Mr. Darn >r will do equally as well. Christian Fayler has so far recovered from his late illness as to be around again. Mr. Survetus Gerard is to plaster the new house recently erected by Mr. Rhodes. It is located in Walker township, near the line dividing Union and Walker. Work has commenced on the new railroad. If completed, we expect a boom for Fair Oaks which has already developed into quite a

little village. But what our township stands most in need of is a few more thrifty, energetic farmers and stock-growers; a few more big ditches, and fewer big pastures. Dr. I. B. W ashburn made Union a professional visit last Friday.— He was called to visit a member of Fay’s family. We did not learn the particulars. We had the pleasur »f reading a letter from Sherman, Texas, May 5, 1886, from which we extract the following: “Although spring opened somewhat later than usual, farmers are well up with their work. Our corn has been plowed twice and other vegetation is equally as forward. Strawberries are ripe and fruit promises a good yield. — Wheat, rye, and oats are looking excellent, and harvesting will soon commence.” Dr. I. B. Washburn has a namesake in this township. Its name is Washburn Snow, son of Benj. H. Snow. Grape Island. May. 17, 1886. Listing and Rag Carpets made to order, at the Factory, on Front street, near the Artesian Well.— Call and examine manufactures and ascertain charges. Meyers, Proprietor. Since Leopold reduced prices on all his Dry Goods, Clothing, Boots and Shoes below all competition, his goods go off like hot cakes. No shoe store shall sell “good Shoes” —n 3 shoddy—cheaper than Ludd Hopkins. An extensive stock, in great variety, of Straw Goods, ranging in price from sc. to $3, at N. Fendig’s. Call and see for yourselves.
