THE CONVENTION.

The Democratic County Convention assembled at this place on last Saturday, was unusually well attended, and was composed of representative men from all parts of the county, and the interest manfested such as to {inspire the hope and belief that the Democracy of Jasper county, from this on, mean business. The ticket presented ior the suffrages of the peonle is one that will receive a hearty support. For Auditor —Lucius StrongStrong in q alifications for the position for which he has been nominated —Strong in principle, honesty and fairness —Strong in the esteem of all who know him—will make a mighty Strong pull for the place, and it will subserve the interests of the people to give him a Strong, vigorous and ample vote.

For Treasurer—Win. M. Hoover, for re-election, can point with pride and satisfaction to his administration of the affairs of the office. All concede that it has never been in better condition. — Even our neighbors—the ‘stalwart’ radical republican Message man admits it; and the “half-breed” Republican man is so enraptured witli it that lie is over-anxious to claim the credit for the republican Board of County Commissioners. For Recorder—D. W. Shields is a young gentleman of good habits and first-class qualifications. — As “a slab-sided Nubbin Ridge bog-trotter” he will make better time than the ‘progressive in spirit’ dragging through guano beds in pursuit of will-with-a-wisp. For Commissioner, 2d District —George H. Brown, jr., if elected, will guard with watchful care the interests of the tax-payers of J asper county. He is deserving of of your votes. The Central Committee will exercise great care and good judgment in the selection of candidates to fill the vacancies on the ticket.

The Democracy have made a good beginning. Let them now go to work, yielding nothing, conceding nothing—leaving a fair ballot and an honest count to determine which is in the ascendant.

At the election in Oregon, Monday last, the Democrats elected the Governor, Treasurer and Supreme Judge; the Republicons elected the Secretary of State, Superintendent of Public Instruction and Printer. As the Governor, Secretary of State and Treasurer constitute the Board for the management of all state institutions, the Democrats will have control oc the State for the next four years. Fiona the persistent and frequent applications of soft soap on F. C. Nowels, Ave are almost persuaded to believe that the ex-Con-sulis seeking to establish a “Mutual Admiration Club.” See the Consul’s description of tile proceedings of the Democratic County Convention. That game won’t win. The skeleton of Mrs. Kate Hurley, of Delphi, who disappeared from her home a year ago last March, and whose fate has been so lo long a mystery, was found in a sand-bar in the Wabash river, near the mouth of Deer Creek, last Tuesday. The big snow wdl exhibit in Rensselaer next Friday. It will be well to avoid the confidence men and beware of pick-pockets and thieves who frequently follow in the wake of these institutions and ply their vocations.

Weather cold and dry. Health is generally good. Lewis Sigler is back again. Mosquitoes till you can’t rest. Jack Kerns is working for F. M. Hershman. G o. nershman left for Delphi last week. Miss Jennie Hershman has gone to Francesville on a visit. Mrs. Warren Brey, of Keener, was home on a visit last Sunday Jake Wenrick claims to have sold over five hundred < isli pans. Fred Chilcote, of Rensselaer, was up visiting friends last week. The most of the farmers have got through with their planting. Meeting at the Center school house, Sunday, June 13tli. All are invited to come and bring their baskets. F. M. Hershman, our road sup’t, bought a sls Bible the other day. Wonder if he is going to read a chapter every morning before he goes to work on the roads. James Morse is greatly improving his place by putting in tile and clearing off the brush. It would be better for the country if the rest of the farmers would do likeFrank Nicholas had a narrow escape while on his way home from a dance. His horse stumbled and fell on him. He was gnly hurt for the time being.

Chairman.

Ground dry, and farmers wishing for rain. Corn plowing is the occupation of the sturdy farmer and his boys just now. M. B. Halstead has been putting in some tile on his farm.

Miss Ella Livingston, of Crown Point, is isiting he. sister, Mrs. A. C. Pancoast. The democrats have an excellent man before the people for Auditor, in the person of Lucius Strong, and he will undoubtedly make it too warm to be comfortable for Robinson, while fcloover, Brown and Shields w.ll “wake up’, their opponents. The eldest daughter of John T. Sa ler, who has been sick all spring, is again able to be up and around.

A number of persons went fromhere to the Commencement exercises, at Rensselaer, and were well pleased therewith. Many people are going fishing now-a-days, but their success in catching is limited. Mrs. and Miss Richardson, of Rensselaer, spent last week visiting friends and relatives here. The strawberry crop is heavy this year, and a feast is an every day occurrence. Democrat.

MEYERS,

No invention of the nineteenth century has w r orked a greater revolution in household economy or conferred more of a benefit on humanity than the sewing machine. The first productions were crude and uncouth in the extreme, and it was reserved for American skill mid ingenuity to bring forth a machine of any practical value. In order to appreciate the great advancement which has taken place it is only necessary to compare one of Ihe machines built during the infancy of the invention with one of the latest improved ‘ Light-Running New Home ” All the really good points contained in other machines have been utilized in its construction. — Many new improvements and devices have also been added, the iesult of which is a machine as nearly perfect as it is possibie to make one.

For simplicity, durability, ease of management and capacity for work, the “Light-Running New Home” has no rival, and the happy possessor of one may reit assured that he or she has the very best the world affords. See adtertisement on another page of THIS PAPER.
