FIRST POINT

You should read THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS because ignorance is expensive. You must read some paper. Probably you've always had a weekly— you can now afford a daily. THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS costs but one cent per copy— it's so cheap you can't afford to

fe'-- W lose time waiting for a weekly. You ought to know about things when they happen—not a week later. You live in the nineteenth century, in the greatest section of the greatest country on the earth, and you can afford to be left behind.

SECOND POINT

You should readTHECHiCAGO DAILY NEWS because you

have

the timeto read it. There is a paper published in Australia which is as large as a blanket. This wouldn't suit you. You

want a

newspaper at once

con­

venient, complete and condensed, and still you don't want to overlook anything of real importance. You don't want your neighbor to say to you,

Did you read so-and-so in to-day's paper? and be obliged to answer, No, I didn't see that," and then have him ask you, "What paper do you read?" This will never happen to you if you read THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1889.

A NEGRO exodus from the South is likely to take place at no distant day. There are many reasons for it. The negro has been freed but is not protected in his rigfits. He does not get the full benefit of his labor and is not allowed the privilege of voting. He is counted in Avhen it comes to making the apportionment for Congressmen, but counted out when it comes to voting for the same. The exodus would impoverish the South so far as laborers are concerned. It would also reduce their political power and the Solid Democratic South would no longer be a menace to good government. The South is a good place for the negro as his work is there in greater demand, and of course more valuable, but he should be protected. In case such protection is not given, an exodus would be the proper remedy. It is the idea of leading colored men to ask Congress for an appropriation of $30,000,000 to aid the exodus. These negroes scattered throughout the Northern States would cause a tremendous excitement among the old Bourbons. It can only be prevented by fair treatment of the blacks in the South, and we are not sure but that the day when fair treatment even would win the blacks to remain, lias passed, they have been inhumanly treated so long.

No doubt a great many readers of this paper have been bothered and run down by fire insurance agents who follow you almost all the time and area nuisance. They always have the same request, "let me insure your property.'' It does not make any difference whether you want to insure or not, they are always bothering you. The only proper way to insure your property is to go to a reliable and established agent and have your policy issued. By doing this you run no risk and then you are rid of the insurance solictor who may have annoyed you for weeks. There is one insurance agency in this town that we can fully recommend, and that is the HUGHES INSL RANCE AGENCY, who understand the business and have some of the best companies in the world and who do a legitimate 1'IRE INSURANCE business at the lowest rates possible. We would suggest that if at any time patrons of this paper desire good and reliable FIRE or CYCLONE INSURANCE that they call on the above named agency.

RAMBLER'S ROUNDS.

As I went forth this week on my mission of good in my earnest endeavor to enlighten the world by broadening the circulation of Hancock county's greatest paper, I did so with some style seated in our editors nice new outfit. I indeed felt my importance, as I do at all times. And as the little mare ambled nimbly along my thoughts naturally dwelt on the many beauties of nature that continually met my gaze. I thought that this was a most beautiful world, and rather than run the risk of a better one I prefer to remain here.

Brandywine, like her sisters, is a splendid township, and many of Hancock's most valued and esteemed citizens live there. Being pretty well acquainted down there I took my family along, resolved that they shonld have one square meal, if it could be gotten. Knowing F. M. Carpenter, also the easy manner which his wife had producing good eatables, we unloaded at his door, so Mollie knew what that meant and went to work. The result was highly satisfactory to me. Marion has a nice farm. He thinks of renting it and moving to town. His corn is fair. But the corn through there over to Fountaintown and Carrollton is not so good as in Sugar Creek. The grub worms have worked on some of it badly. A good many were still breaking for wheat and many were sowing and a few had finished. It seems that a very large acreage is being sown. On this road running east and west to Carrollton live many Democrats, in fact Bandy wine has a good sprinkling of them all through.

Coleman Pope is one of our happiest men, and he can afford to be. He is raising the Shropshire Down sheep. These area hardy breed of sheep and are valuable for all purposes. All men have their preference of breeds of stock as well as other things, so our old friend Lon Milbourn stands by the Cotswolds. He has 28 head of pure bred ones and they are fine specimens of this breed. He says it is no nncommon thing to clip an average of 10 fts to the fleece. They are rapid growers. Many ewes weighing as high as 200 lbs. He thinks this is the breed for the farmer to raise. I have frequently wondered why more farmers do not raise sheep. They are easily kept and can be made very profitable. I think it would be a good idea for our stock raisers and farmers to discuss in the paper the merits of a particular breed of stock with which they have experience, also regarding everything raised on the farm seeds, etc., their pecularities and adaptability to certain kinds of soil. These things discussed by men of experience in this^ line would prove of much value to our amateurs in Hancock county. Mr. Milborn is one of our most prosperous farmers of wide experience. He is an extensive breeder of Short Horn cattle and he showed me some as fine ones as I have seen. A discusion of these subjects by him and our other able farmers over the county, whose experience enables them to discuss them intelligently, would have a tendency to stimulate others to the raising of better stock and sowing better seed. There is no reason why one as well as another cannot raise good stock, they are as easy raised and more profitable in the long run.

I notice that the school buildings of BRANDYWINE are inferior to others in the county, although most of them are sound apparent ly: but I don't know how about being comfortable.

CARROLLTON,

formerly Reedville, formerly tailholt, is making some stir, and has many good people. They still have a Democratic P. M. But Mr. Johnson has the appointment I think.

I had the pleasure of meeting uncle Henry Gates. He is a prosperous farmer living north of town, and is one of the REPUBLICAN'S valued friends.

Dr. Larrimore another, was not at home, as he is busy most of his time. We have a large list of reliable subscribers there, and growing larger every day. Our young friend J. W. Barnett is railroad agent there and is a fine little fellow. He reads the REPUBLICAN. His father is agent at Fountaintown. J. P. Lewis has been thinking of reading the REPUBLICAN for some time, and a mild suggestion from me was all that was required, the same regarding J. B. Reed. J. G. Boyce knows how to run a saw mill and he is nicely equipped. He takes the Republiccan. Democrats are as badly in the minority at

FOITNTA1NTOWX

as they were the country o'er last fall. .T. F. Pirn, II. M. Inlow and Win. Martin are new men on our paper and will inliuence others to do likewise. Next day I went north promising to see that section again shortly. Around about

ET)EX AND MAXWELL

the farmers were done sowing wheat, and some were storing their drills in the fence corners to await future use. I interviewed our old friend Nathan Hunt. He is full of good thoughts and knows how to express them. Many of his suggestions were sound and worthy to be followed. Mr. Hunt is not iu favor of the Sunday law, he believes in men observing Sunday from principle, not from compulsion. He thinks the proper moral influences should be brought to bear on mens' hearts, so that it will not require the strong arm of the law to bring about the desired results. Mr. Hunt is correct, and if all were as earnest as he, much could be accomplished to bring about this happy state of affairs.

MAXWELL

can boast of one good enterprise. Richard

Hagen has located his sorghum factory there. He has a nice outfit and is nicely fixed to give the business proper attention. He uses natural gas for light and fuel. Mr. Youngs, son-in-law of J. R. Eakes, had a $200 mare very sick from founder. When I passed there Dr. Sid Webb was in attendance, and I think if the mare lives it will be through the skill of the Dr. He has quite a reputation as a veterinary. I passed by many of the old reliables for want of time. I called on John Howard but he was not about.

Lambert Jarrett has followed suit of all the rest of that name and will read the county and state news in the REPUBLICAN. At

EDEN

many of our friends think the paper is getting better every day, and as one old man expressed it "the editor must be spreadin hisself now." He said he could not help but recommend it, for it contained something on all subjects. The little child can find something of interest to them, the farmer consults it for correct market reports, the tired mother can, after reading the locals and correspondence, of which we have an abundance from all over the county, and learning something of her relatives or friends, turn to the sermon of the greatest preacher, which appears each week, and gain that spiritual strength and knowledge which Talmadge knows so well how to impart so necessary to the consolation of afflicted humanity, and never fails to find something applicable to her case. The state, foreign and domestic news is accurate and reliable and the serial story is always from the pen of some one standing high as a writer of fiction. Eden and Maxwell like Greenfield are afflicted with their share of idlers who spend their time talking hard-times until they declare they don't know what is going to be done unless a change occurs and getting worked up. They feel that they will have to get a little red eye to help them bridge over their sorrow, and feel deep down in their pockets for the hoped for change, and not finding it there, they are compelled, many of them, to resume the accustomed whine. These men with the unkempt hair are the ones that the weather never suits for their business. They go to town and discuss the above mention thing, very weekly of course, for they never take a newspaper, and their wives, if they like ever so much to read, don't have time for they are compelled to do the chores that their hubby's leave undone.

Friends go with me over the country and see if you cannot point out the homes of some of the above described. His fences are dilapidated, for he never has time to fix them. His machinery is never any good for it stands unsheltered the year round. His horses are poor for it takes double the labor to do the required amount of work with useless tools.

Elwood Barnard is still extending his gas mains east, west, north and south. He is a young man full of business, and many of our young men would do well to pattern after him.

I met many men and saw many things deserving of mention, but this is already too lengthy by half.

The new school house at Eden is rapidly nearing completion. It is made of brick, is nicely proportioned and will add much to the looks of the town.

James Jarrett is one of the staunch friends of the REPUBLICAN and one of Green township's most substantial citizens. I had a pleasant talk with him. Some of our friends have sent communication for insertion and when they didn't appear jumped at the conclusion that the editor had consigned them to the waste basket. Such is not the case, as many of them have never reached the office. He wishes it known that all articles of a religious instructive or social nature that have merit shall have a hearing in the columns of the REPUBLICAN. Sometimes matter arrives too late, then it is overlooked, In the future the contributor should write again as they will always get a heariug.

As I was returning, the fire bugs were out. All nature was sinking to repose, and I think Morris Hinchman was preparing to lie down to pleasant dreams.

THE GKEENFIELD REPUBLICAN, FftlDAT, SEPTEMBER 20, 1889.

RAMBLER.

OlilTUAllIKS.

Died on the 7th inst., at her residence on what is popularly known as the Judkins farm, about five miles North-west of this city, Elizabeth, widow of the late James Judkins and mother of Dr. E. I. Judkius of this city. Aunt Betsey, as Mother Judkins was popularly known, and whose maiden name was Wales, was born in North Carolina, September 9, 1808. She was married to James Judkins September 1, 1825, and during the following year emigrated in wagons through East Tennessee over the mountains to Indiana, and settled in Wayne county, a few miles north-east of Richmond, where they resided until 1833, and moved to this, Hancock county, and settled about one mile West of the village of Eden. The whole country thereabouts was almost a wilderness. The said James Judkins there entered 80 acres of land from the government at $1.25 per acre, built them a log house and began clearing a farm in the green, unbroken forest. About two years later they removed to the neighborhood of their late home, where the said husband ran the popular mill, known as the old Pierson mill, on Sugar creek, for several years. Soon after this move they sold their sad forest home and purchased land, where they continued to live until death, in turn, removed them both. The said James Judkins died December 24, 1874, near his 72d birthday. The subject

of this obituary had three brothers and one sister, all of whom emigrated to this State from the south with their families at an early day, all of whom and their companions have since passed away save a younger brother, W. W. Wales, who now resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She had remarkable good health for one of her age, till within the last few years. She became afflicted with heart disease and asthma, but last spring the asthma ceased to trouble her and dropsical symptons began to appear. This, with the heart trouble, gradually increased until during the past summer she was occasionally threatened with fatal results from dropsical effusion around the heart, until on the morning of the 7th inst. life passed away with but a few minutes warning. She was the mother of eight children, only three of whom survive her. At her death she had surviving her two sons and their wives, one daughter and her husbband, one widowed daughter-in-law, fourteen grandchildren and seventeen great grand children, besides numerous other relatives and loving neighbors and friends. All of her immediate descendants, except her son James and family, who reside near Glenwood, in southwestern Iowa, attended her funeral. Short funeral services were held at her late residence on the 9th inst.. it being her 81st brithday, by Rev. Miles Walker, assisted by Rev. Guild, of the Sugar creek circuit of the M. E. Church. Her remains were followed to their final resting place in the Sugarcreek cemetery, near her late homestead, by her bereaved family, many relatives, neighbors and friends, where she rests beside her late husband, and others of her family who have preceeded her to that bourne from whence none return. Mother Judkins was always a kind, affectionate and forbearing wife and mother. She was almost the last of the old pioneers of that neighborhood, and will be greatly missed by her children, their families and many friends, but such is life. During the last year or two she has often talked to her family of her demise. She seemed to realise that she was nearing the end of life's journey, and seemed anxious for the end rather than to fear it. Her son James and wife recently visited her, and only left for their home in Iowa twelve days before her death, not anticipating her so early demise. On Sunday, August 25th, the day before her sons departure she had arranged for a family reunion, hence all her children, save the said son James' children and grand children, who were in Iowa, spent the day and ate their last dinner with her, she remarking that it would be the last time that such a reunion could ever take place. All enjoyed the happy reunion. In the afternoon of the reunion, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. W. Wright, of Kansas, her intimate friends from their infancy, Mr. Ebenezer Scotton and wife and a few other intimate friends called to show their affection and sympathy, when at her request a social prayer meeting was held and she joined in with her feeble voice from her bed of afflction in singing that sweet song "We are waiting etc". She greatly enjoyed the service and all felt happy and well pleased. Although she never publicly made a profession of religion, no one who knew her intimately could doubt her christian character and sentiments and faith in a better world, free from sin and sorrow. Her life was an exemplary one, let others follow in her footsteeps.

GEORGE W. ROXEY.

At his residence in Buckcreek township, four and a half miles from this place, George W. Roney, departed this life September 13th, 1889, at the age of 31 years, 1 month and 9 days. His disease was typhoid fever, and after some three or four weeks of suffering passed to that bourne from whence none return. He leaves a young wife and many relatives and friends to mourn his loss. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Green, of McCordsville, after which his body was consigned to the tomb amid the tears and sympathy of a vast audience, in the Pleasant Grove cemetery, to aw it the sounding of the trumpet that shall b'-l the sleeping nations to arise. George, as was called, was held in high esteem ly all, and had no enemies and gave evidence in his last hours of having no fear of death, and passed peacefully away at 2 o'clock a. m., on Saturday morning last. His young widow has the sympathy of a host of friends in this her hour of deepest afflction. We commend her with the rest of the remaining mourning friends to God who is their strong tower when these hours of bereavement come to us, and may we all meet again when life is 'oer, and be ready to enter into that rest that He has in reserve for us in the land where disease and death are unknown. Thou art gone to the grave, wc no longer behold thee,

Nor tread the rough path of the world by thy side, But the arms of the Saviour are open to greet thee

And the lamp of his love, through the gloom, is thy guide. Oh! weep not for the friends that pass.into the lonesome grave,

As breezes sweep the withered grass Along the restless wave. For though thy pleasures depart, And darksome days be given

And lonely though on earth thou art Yet bliss awaits the holy heart When friends rejoin in heaven.

B.

On Wednesday evening, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Simmons, near Willow Branch, died from cholera infantum. Mr. and Mrs. Simmons lost a small child just about one year ago, and the loss of this second child is therefore especially sad, and the bereaved parents deserve and have the sympathy of a large circle of relatives and friends.
