RAMBLER'S ROUNDS.

Tlie Republican's Scribe Abroad?®

As we started 011 our way to Blueriver

^fesKfc- township we saw Guinea Brahnam fishiug, and we hope he had better luck than that usually accorded to the fisher.

Bud Ellsburrj was hid in the branches of a cherry tree picking fruit. Buds a Democrat. The old Republican stauutird bearer, Jerry Hemlfeu. came along and gave us a lift. He is binught goods. 1 lie hail damaged his crops considerably but he is not a man to complain. saw Mr. A. Randall who ordered the reliable. Called at Mr. Button's but he was not at home. Frank Anderson, our next man, looked familiar as he and 1 were schoolmates in Rush County. Frank is a zealous young Republican. He has secured a better half since we lest met and judging from his conversation and appearance we feel sure that Frank has secured a prize. She is a sociable, clever lady and a member of the Christian church. We rode a little way with our colored friend, Ransom Xeal. He and his wife were out selling their strawberris of which they have a fine lot of the Dutch and Crescent rarities. They will sell some plants this fall. Most people know George Matlock,I do at at least and stood in with him sufficiently to get a good bunk with him over night. He and Ina are spoken of by their neighbors as being among the best. George has a fine 2-year-old stallion whose sire is Roger Hanson, dam a Blue Vein mare out of Blue Bull 75 and any one knowing anything about horses knows this to be a goodone 'andone that will make his mark. We are glad to see the young farmers taking an. interest inweTl bred stock—the scrub has seen his day. Some one visited Mr. Matlock's smoke house a few nights~ago~and carried off several joints of meat. He wonders if the hail storm had anything to do with the matter. ........ ... 5 Mr. Ben Binford was at home.

Mrs. W. H. Tyner ordered the REPUBLICAN. Mr. and Mrs. Tyner are among our most pleasant old people. ,, Mr. Robert Brown had us take dinner with him, and he said if it kept on rains',:.'..- ing he would have corn or wild sweet potatoes one. He is well satisfied with the present political complexion of things.

He has

not been able to do any work" since last fall, still he is cheerfal and always looks on the sunny side.

Going east to the Rush County line we found that Messrs. Dennis," AViggins, Young and "other reliable Republicans lived on this road. Along here, as elsewhere, the farmers report a little green bug in their wheat and oats, which stick •in^clusters to the" head of the grain. It js not known whether they will do any damage or not.

The sound of water passing through the ruins of the old Wolf mill seemed^ as if they were sighing for the return of former busy life and usefulness.

We called on the proprietor of the River View Stock Farm, Mr. L. B. Cole, who lives just over in Shelby County, and who owns such stallions as Here ward, of Hambletonian Trauby family, and David Millson, of Ajax blood. These are beau ties and no mistake. Mr. Cole is one of our prosperous farmers, a gentleman and takes the REPUBLICAN.

Called on Mr. Johnson, of the Morristown Sun, found him to be a clever young man and we think he has the "get up and get" to make a live paper. He has lately added a new press and we bespeak for him a long list of patrons.

Another picnic was in full blast at the park and about 1,000 people were there The

day

before the hod carriers of Indi

anapolis had a time there and from all reports it was a most disgraceful affair. Drunkenness and prostitution ran rampant, women as well as men engaged in the most unblushing debauchery. It would be a blessing to our neighboring little town if that picnic ground were turned into a cornfield. The man that runs the boats was knocked down and robbed on the premises Sunday night. We learned that they arrested a young 'man named Whitesides as being implicated in the matter.

At Mr. Six's we found that gentleman busy in his corn and where he was plowing had beenTa'green thicket the year be-, fore. He owns what is known as the Silas Haskett farm and where there were thickets and ponds of water he now has nice corn growing. His wife is a nice talker and well educated. She was formerly Miss Abbie Haskett and has numerous acquaintances in Greeufield, and will hereafter read the REPUBLICAN.

Coming west we could not help being impressed with the beauty of the country. The pasture land is rolling and there are ,, fine forest trees, and the plow land is sec*ond bottom and there is none better. ,v?Such old standbys as T. E. Hill, T. J. Six, ^John W. Anderson and others, with whom the REPUBLICAN is well acquainted, live ?on this road.

We stopped at Mr. Dillman's but it being late and raining we did nob get to ask Mr. Dillmanwhat his prospects were, etc., as we had to find some place to deposit ourself for the night we moved on.

We headed for the residence of J. W. Anderson. These are hospitable young people who never turn a stranger away. Mr. Anderson has had considerable bad luck in the last year, having lost two good horses and had another one real sick when we were there.

Climbing the hills along Six-mile, old Sol pouring his rays down rather hot, did not afford much amusement.

Further east the country became level and this is splendid land. The elegant residence of Mi. J. B. Pusey stands to the

*JWP

right and a little farther on to the left that of Mr. Elliott both of whom are old friends and patrons of the REPUBLICA. "rs 'From there we went east to the city of

Moorcsville. This town has the ear marks of being the most ancient city in Hancock County. Mr. Car eld,formerly of Westland. runs a smith shop there and also keeps the postoflice. They have a box tacked to the wall of the shop and the first that comes gets all. Mrs. Carfield presented her husband with a fine babe last week.

From there we came east to Mr. Levi Jessup's, who is a wide-awake jolly little fellow. He has lots of nice land. He also has his convictions and stands by them.

Saw Eli White's fine residence in the distance but did not call there. It getting late we heard that M. A. Catt lived in the neighborhood so we went there. Mark is an admirer of fine cattle and he has some of this kind. His heavy draft stallion, Colonel, is a daisy and has already taken some preu '.ums. He has some Short Horn cattle that are tliej true patterns of their famous ancestors. We left Mr. Catt's, taking with us their bett wishes.

East of Westland church we found Mr. Kearnes, whose barn was burned awhile back, and who was busily preparing to rebuild.

North of the church we came to the pretty abode of Dr. Anderson. The Di\ is a pleasant, kindly disposed old gentleman and received us warmly. He is a Friend in religion and a Republican in politics which facts recommends him to all people.

As we came toward the city we noticed that George Gates and Billy Thomas were each running several hands in their corn and the way they move things about shows that they have the stamina. They are sound in politics.

Met Mr. Toms, Township trustee, at Wiley's Mill, and the way he is improving his already fine place shows him to be a progressive man.

It would pay anyone to take a stroll through Alonzo Tyner's premises. He kindly showed us through the fine grounds. His garden is planted with the choicest of vegetables, and, as to fruits of all kinds, he has an abundance, having a dozen different varieties of strawberries, but as we sampled them as we went

Ave

could not decide which was the best. It was the same as to his cherries. I will not try to describe his chickens as any ou9 who knows Mr. Tvuer knows that he keeps the choicest breeds and his parks and buildings are as clean and neat as they can be kept.

From reports we heard out on the county line we expected to see men at work on our new nail works by the toll-gate but we did not.

The corn in Blueriver has been damaged considerably by the grub worm and there are numerous fields that have not been plowed. But the farmers were hustling when we came in. We think they should turn their attention a little more to better breeds.

All we met were fine people, however, and zealous for truth and right and all speak in high terms of our worthy editor for the stand he takes for temperance and morality. More next week.

FROM CLEVELAND.

Uncle Wesley Williams, living miles north-west of Cleveland, told us Wednesday that he had quite a narrow escape from a burn-out Wednesday of last week. His grand-son, Charley Williams, and a neighboring boy, Edgar Bell, wished to go calling
