FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1889.
To Our Correspondents.
The REPUBLICAN has some excellent correspondents and we are under continual obligations for favors. There area few, however, who persist in giving neighborhood jokes and the little love affairs between the boys and girls of the neignboihood. While these same love affairs are delightfully pleasant to the boys and girls, the public care nothing about them. Do not mention them.
EX-GOVERNOR ISAAC P. GRAY is visiting on the Pacific coast.
By the census just taken, Franklin. Johnson couuty claims 4,500 population.
LEONARD SWEET, the great Chicago lawyer, is dead. He was the intimate friend of Lincoln.
THE Sons of Veterans are in session at Logansport. There are more than 1,000 present.
THE Knightstown Banner issued a supplement last week on brown paper. It was home-made as their paper mill is running.
TO-DAY the Odd Fellows all over the State are decorating the graves of deceased brothers.
NEAR
Edinburg, Blueriver has passed
its banks and overflowed several thousand acres of land.
IN
Johnson and Bartholomew counties, there is a small green fly which is damaging the wheat quite seriously. It has also been noticed to some extent in this county.
READ the eight letters of Horace Greeley to Charles A. Dana published on the inside pages of this week's REPUBLICAN. They show the great Greeley as a Washington City correspondent.
An Iowa editor was asked: "Do hogs pay:-" The reply was a little different from what was expected. "A great many do not," he said. "They take the paper for several years, and then have the postmaster send it back, marked 'Refused' or 'Gone West.'"
Elias J. Marsh, editor of the Portland Commercial, was appointed postmaster at that place last Tuesday, vice J. Lowry, removed. Mr. Marsh has a number of relatives in this county and formerly lived bere where he learned the printer's trade. We congratulate Bro. Marsh.
Answer to N. C. S. There are 946 children of school age in Greenfield. Tle American Starch Works at Columbus, Ind.. are not running now. They are the largest starch works in the world, but we do not know the exact number of bushels of corn consumed daily, but it was several thousand.
Several hod carriers and brick-masons of this town are at work in Greenfield, they have no competent workmen in that town and ar« compelled to send elsewhere for them.—Knightstown Banner.
We have a large number of competent workmen, but the building boom is so great our workmen cannot do all the work, therefore, we sent to a dead town where workmen were idle to secure additional laborers.
One of those unreasonable men who take a newspaper for a year or two without paying for it and then send it. back marked "refused" or "not wanted," was sued by an Ohio publisher this week, and the judge gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount with cost. The court decided that notice to discontinue was not sufficient if the subscriber was in arrears. He must pay first.
N THE REPUBLICAN received a circular from Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., with a large number of testimonials showing that the State School-Book Law of Minnesota, was a failure, and they desired the inference drawn that the present Indiana law was of no value. We do not like the present Indiana law, but as it has caused even Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., to discount their books from 20 to 25 per cent, the law has done considerable good. The people were compelled to pay too much for books, and the cost should not be over one-half what it has been for several years. This agitation wjjl .bring the publishers to time and we books at

George W. Hopping, of North Center township, is in Greenfield this week, and will also be here next week in the interests of the Herald Publishing House, of Battle Creek, Mich. He is selling a book eutitled "Bible Readings for the Home Circle," to which is added "The Game of Life," a pictorial allegory. The book comprises one hundred and sixty-two reading on that many different subjects, and is for both public and private study. Nearly 3000 questions on religious subjects are answered on practical, historical and prophetical subjects, by more than twenty bible students. This is the first work of kind ever issued, which presents a systematic arrangement of bible subjects, and gives brief pointed answers to the questions direct from the Scriptures, from history and the writings of eminent 'commentators of modern times. It is designed for all classes of society, embracing, as it does, readings on the subject of Conversion. Obedience, How to Make Home Happy, Social Purity. Cheerfulness, Justification by Faith, Faith Healing, Promises for the Children, The Atonement. Judgement, The Two Families, The Nature of Man, Immortality, The Angels, History of Satan. The Law of God, The Second Coming of Christ, The Millennium, Home of the Saved, and numerous readings on the Bible prophecies. The book concludes with the impressive pictorial allegory "The Game of Life," in three parts. The book is handsomely printed, well bound and is profusely illustrated. Mr. Hopping intends calling on all of our citizens and he should have a candid hearing while representing the merits of his book. It is well worth your careful consideration. The buying of good books is money well invested, and the study of them is profit indeed.
TEMPERANCE WORKERS VICTORIOUS.
The Saloon Men Routed.
The temperance workers, headed by Judge David S. Gooding and James A. New* made a determined fight before the Board of Commissioners to prevent the applicants obtaining saloon license. In every instance the temperance workers were successful. Jacob Varner, who applied for license to sell at No. 11. was squarely beaten. Ed McMahanand Wm. Michaels withdrew their applications. Jesse Roberts, who wanted to continue at the Red Light was beaten in the fight. Albert P. Shaftstall, who is comparatively a stranger here, was compelled to take the affirmative side of the question and prove a good character. As the witnesses placed on the stand had only known him a short time their testimony was not sufficient to carry him through and he also withdrew. He was to have Ed McMahan's place. Two were beaten and three withdrew, and the Red Light, "No. 11", Ed McMahan's place and the brick saloon at the depot are all closed. The two who were beaten can .appeal to the circuit court, but those who withdrew will have to start in anew and make another fight before the Board of Commissioners. The temperance people are fully aroused and will keep the light up to the end. Public sentiment is strongly against the sale oi intoxicants, and the best citizens are arrayiug themselves on that side in a way that means victory in the end-

Caught in a Planer.
Wm. Marts, on Tuesday, was adjusting the roller of the planer at Williams Bro.'s & Hamilton's Planing Mill, when his foot slipped and his right hand was thrown on the moving board and drawn right into the machine. Two of his finger-nails were mashed and the arm drawn in to the elbow, and the flesh badly bruised, although no bones were broken. Will Crawford, the off bearer, stopped the machine or Mr. Marts would undoubtedly have bad his arm pulled from his body. The wound was dressed by Dr. Judkins. Although unfortunate in getting his arm
