Mt. Ayr Correspondence.

We are needing ram badlv. The farmers a mostly all thro’ with their fall seeding. Quite a number from this vicinity are attending the State Fair. Mrs. Carpenter with her daughter Blanche will start in a fe«v days for Northern Dakota, where they will visit with relatives for a short time.

Congressman Lamb, of Terre Haute, addressed a large gathering of Democrats at Morocco on Monday evening of last week. The arguments put forth by the gentleman were so plain and honest that it caused the Republicans present to marvel greatly, but none durst arswer him.

We know a gentleman in this neighborhood who has voted the Republican ticket all his life, but who, next November, will vote for Cleveland and Thurman. We co’d easily give his name but have no authority do so. Mrs. Handley, from Warren county, visited last week with hei nephew Charles Handley of this place. We have been about the country some during t he past we?k and from wbat we have seen and heard we honestly believe that the Democraac pirty never had so much cause for feeling confident of success as they have at the present time. Go where we will we hear the cry for Cleveland, Thurman and reform, showing beyond do ibt that the people are awaking to the truth, aud consequently taking no stock in the rot dished up to them by the disciples of the g. o. p.

CAPTAIN JACK.
