The congregational rnei ting Thursday at the Christian church was largely attended and the reports submitted were very gratifying.

An exchange says: Vincennes has a boy -a smart li'tle boy—who was ambitious to l>3 a letter carrier. A short time ago he secured a lot ( f old loveletters his mother had treasured since her courtship days and distributed them from house to house throughout tile neighborhood. The Presbyterian orchestra entertained a large audience Sunday evening with a sacred concert. The vocal numbers were rendered by Mr. Burlingame and Miss Morse in a highly creditable manner.

We ask (lie readers of the BannkiiTi.mks to patronize those whose advertisements are found in this paper. By these advertisements you know they have something to sell, something they are not ashamed of. They politely invite you to come ami inspect their goods, which means tnat the goods are of good quality ami up to date m pattern and style. This assures you that they are live business men and that they are not compelled to and do not keep a lot of out of date goods on hands. There is one thing sure, you will not make a mistake if you go to the places advertised in the Bannku-Timks. The fact that they are found in this paper is evidence that they have something worth advertising, and that they are not ashamed to ask you to come and make an inspection of their goods and prices. An old farmer expressed the opinion that the time is not far distant when the farmers will cultivate their wheat crop. He relates an instance where a farmer tried cultivation and the results.

The howl for harmony in the democratic organs is beginning a trifle early in the season it seems. The Democrat started the tliingotf with a good big push Saturday. Well, well! There were four additions to the Christian church Sunday, two by fellowship in the morning'and two by baptism at night. At the evening service all extra chairs had to he brought into use to accommodate the and ience. There was a flutter of excitement and perhaps a little dread at the Big Four olllee Monday morning when it became known that the Big Four examining board would be here and examine the employees, as to their sight, hearing anu other essentials.

Can Kessler, a Vandalia section man living at Limedale, met with a painful mishap Friday night. Some one had carelessly left a handcar on the track, which is against the company’s rules, and in tire darkness Kesler ran into it with such force as to break a rib and cause him much pain. Dr. Hawkins attended his wants. The story is told of a Greencastle drug clerk, who when asked by a customer for some bay rum, refused on the ground that lie was not allowed to sell any kind of rum without a prescription, undrr tlie Nicholson law. The customer repaired to another drug shop and the young prescription clerk congratulated himself upon having done his duty to the very letter of the law. The town is again afflicted with tramps, who come any go in large numbers. The tender large hearted people who have always felt a sympathy for them, are getting tired of having their kindness abused, and ttieir refusals to hand out feed lias made the tramps impertinent and many cases of impudence are reported. The police cannot he too strict with these warts on humanity. The weather for the nast three weeks lias been in remarkable contrast with that of the same time a year ago. Then no one could venture out withoul putting on all the wearing apparel he could comfortably handle, while at the present lots of people do not wear overcoats, except in the evening, and it is not miusual to see a man in his shirt sleeves. The ground hog will shortly appear on the scene and will tell ns win ther or not we can expect this weather to continue. Mr. Hicks’say-so does not go against the ground hog’s. There is one Greencastle boy at least who has no end of trouble in order that he may spend a few happy hours on Sunday with nis sweet heart, who unlortunately lives in a very small hamlet. He goes to Brazil on a fast train, waits an hour, and comes hack part of the way on an accommodation train. He pays his visit and then catches the next thing that comes along the track which is generally a freight train or a hand car and when lie arrives home he finds that it has taken him from twelve to fifteen hours to make the ten mile trip The Theta Alumnae clublield its January meeting Of Saturday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. J. B. DeMotle on Sout.i College Avenue. Michel Angelo was the subject of the afternoon’s conversation of which Mrs. M.J. Beckett was leader. The career of Michael Angelo was discussed in three parts: First as a man and a poet, by Miss Emma Rtdpath; second, as an artist by Mrs. Beckett; and the third, his relation with Victoria Colona. whose influence is thought to have shaped his career. There were a number of visitors in attendance and the occasion was a rare treat to all present. The meeting was brought to a close by the supper which was served at live o’clock. Mrs. Jasper Jenkins slipped and fell Friday evening at her home on East Bloomington street and suttered a severe bruise on the head and injuries t 0 her tiaek. Although no hones were broken the shock was very severe and

y Just a Word. Remember what I have been telling you in regard to our men’s boots. They are by far the best and the cheapest goods of the kind ottered in the city. It only requires a glance to settle that question. I have just gotten in some warm lined shoes, for women's wear, that you can’t help liking when you see them; thick and w'arm|luit soft and nice. If you sutler with cohl feet they are just what you want. Ladies have you seen our $1.50 dotigola patent tip button shoes? I would like to have you compare it with the best $1.75 shoe of the kind you can And in Greencastle. If you want a good shoe of any kind come to me, 1 will protect you in the price and do my best to please you. I always try to sell the kind of shoes best adapted to tlie service they have to meet.

Respectfully.

We know of but one community in tlie world where dyspepsia is practically unknown, and that is the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, X. Y. These good people have been studying the subject of digestion for more than a hundred years, and that they understand it pretty thoroughly, is evidenced in the foregoing fact. Their Digestive Cordial is the safest and best remedy in cases of indigestion that we know of. A trial bottle can he had through your druggi-ts for the trifling miiii of ten cents. Tin Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies the system with food already digested, and at the same tiire aids the digestion of other foods. It will almost instantly relieve the ordinary symptoms of indigestion, and no sutlerer need to he told what these are. Laxol is the best medicine for children.
