RAMBLER'S ROUNDS.

My experience this week was a moie pleasant one than the previous week, so fir as the weather was concerned, being away Inst week in a luster and no o\ercoat, was by no means pleasant. But this trip bid fair to be more favorable in every particular. And as I jogged along Maxwell pike, the lads and lassies in their clean frocks, fresh from the deft fingers of carcful mamma's, emerging from the by roads, with books and dinner pails reminded me that the season had now come when the temples of learning were opened and the patient school marms task had begun of instilling in these young hopefuls minds the rudiments that would enable them in after years to assist in guiding the ship of state on her proper course. It brought vividly to my own mind experiences in my life as a school boy. when the gruff Yankee, with seasoned birch, gave us our learning by compulsion. And hen our name was called at even, whether we had regarded faithfully the ironclad rules, and the answer was generally "correct." But the most severe punishment to me was to be compelled to sit between two big girls for some misdemeanor I had committed, this was always a most trying ordeal as I was a timid child.

I met A. Humble at his home west of Maxwell, he will read the REPUBLICAN* in the future, as also will his neighbor Mr. Shepherd. That gentleman's principles are strictly Prolii and he gave me some good argument in behalf of his platform.

I saw Samuel Ridenour, lie is an industrious man aud one of our old patrons. Our old patron Thomas B. Miller was busy, preparing to move. lie has sold his farm, to Win. Bussel, and bought another farther south. He is getting old and cannot manage so much land. He. intends to keep horse ami biiggj :ih» hi. and his good wife will enioy themselves the balance of their days. They were married when Mrs. Mi Her was but 1G years old aud have lived together f0 years. Mr. Miller is what one would call an exemplary man. He learned the tailoring trade when he was 11 years old and journeyed and plied his trade in all the cities east: and west, hence his opportunities to become reckless were many, bnt the admonition of a good mother, long since departed, has carried him safely through. IIo was baptised a Presbyterian, but lias liv^d a Methodist most of his life. Mr. Miller does not believed in sanctiiication he feels that he needs divine help every hour of his life.

The country through here to Bunker Hill is beautiful. The land at the hill is owned by our patrons, the Braddock's, and they have beautified it by setting Catal pa trees along the road-side. Noah is improving his already nice house by building an addition to the same. J. S. Orr was bossing the job and A. Chaudler, Mr. Rayl and Aaron .Miller were driving the nails, all good mchanics and jolly men. And by the v.-ay if any of my widowed lady friends desire to put oft their wido-.v-liood I would recommend them to cultivate the acquaintance of Mr. Miller, for he is the jolliest widower I have met, though he talked like he never would marry, but sensible persons change their notion.

F. H. Sipe is the gentlemanly blacksmith and woodworkman at BINKEU HILL Here I met H. J. Martin, W. S. Tuterow and Wm. Huston, also Clias. Huston, son of councilman J. B. of our city. These are all jolly young men and staunch Republicans. I called at the home of Wm. Huston, he has a fine home, a nice wife and three nice little children. These people, while they stand by true Christian principles combine with these friendly social qualifications so admirable in all people. •Mr. Huston's stock is good, and his horses are exceptionally so. One young horse to which I took a special fancy, Mr. Huston would dispose of. This is a good one and the man that buys him will get a bargain.

From here the fine residence of our old faithful, Peter Wilson, looms up nicely. Mr. Wilson and wife started on the 24th on a visit to Kansas. 10 see relatives and friends that have settled there. His son and wife will attend to the chores during the parents absence. Young Mrs. Wilson is a daughter of auctioneer Huston. The nice drizzle that is falling to-day, the 25tli, is just the thing, and the young wheat seems to realize that fact, and is rapidly spreading all over the ground, and is looking well, and the farmers are still sowing. There will be a vast acreage sowed.

George Smith is a prosperous young farmer, living just south of Mr. Wilson's. He has a fine m-w hous* and is a business little fellow in every respect. Mr. Smith has lost lots of his hogs with the cholera, as many farmers have in different parts of the county.

East from Bunker Hill Hie country is fine. Corn is good and wheat that is up is looking well.

The fine homes of Samuel aud Robert Simmons are located on this road. They are devoted to the Republican faith, and are progressive men in all things.

AT WILLOW BRANCH

I enjoyed the hospitality of Samuel Grurulen and family over night. They are nice people and treat a stranger with kindness and courtesy. The daughter, Hattie, returned while I was there from a Dieasant visit to friends in Harri-

f,T -ff:

GREENFIELD

sou county. She related some of her experience in climbing the rock-ribbed hills that was very interesting. Miss Grunden herself is very interesting, and is one of our county's most popular teachers. She was accompanied on her visit by Lizzie Wilson. I also had the pleasure of meeting Miss Lucy Morris there. She is one of our most experienced school teachers and a sociable lady. She will teach in Henry county this year.

James McCormick, our jolly saw mill man at the Branch, is making everything buzz, and is running several hands. I had some little conversation with him amid the jingle of his saw's and he is sound as a bullet.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Hammer. The docter is a very sociable gentleman, and one of our best physicians. He informed me that he was going to the State fair that day, and shortly afterward he emerged in a spick and span Prince Albert suit and fine plug hat, looking every inch a man aud fit to appear on the fashion plates. The Dr's. head is level.

I stepped into the store room of Lewis Mills & Sons. These gentlemen are among our most respected citizens and uncompromising Republicans. They have added a nice line of merchandise to their line of boots and shoes. Read their ad in another column.

J. C. Buckley is one of the REPUBLICAN'S warmest friends, and can grasp your hand hard.

There are many of our good backers in this section, and it will necesitate repeated visits to give them all deserving mention.

I met W. J. Bennett at the Branch. Mr. Bennett is an intelligent gentleman, and is a conductor 011 the Cincinnati Southern I'ailway. He formerly lived at Chariottsville. He ordered the RET'UP.LTCAX sent to him at I.udlovv, ivy. As we have one of one best correspondents at his former home he will !e sure to get the news.

Pleas let me remark right here that I 'hope 11,e thing that stole my hitch rein while 1 tarried at the Branch, may smell a la 1. \ard all his life, and get sick when lie

M-es

a !i ness sign. And allow me to

predict tii ". lie will finally die. -t from the Branch I passed the iiii'iii' iir young friend A. F.Jones. He .. .'.i bouseaud barn, lots of good stocl a .d happy family. it :e.„ iiy pretty hard for me to rec«:g'after seeing them but once, but 1 !i .v.sow our old patron Nimrod Lac '». 1 -e

iviioi,

tied in his beard.

Lueien Thomas, like the rest of the boys, is alive to all good works. He has a splendid farm and is in a fine shape every way. Our patron, Geo. McPherson, works for him. And it would be beautiful if the employer and employed everywhere could work in such perfect harmony.

Moses J. Fort is one of the nicest looking men I have met and all his family thai" saw, and his surroundings harmonize perfectly. Mr. Fort like many others had considerable wheat to sow yet.

I stopped over night with uncle Phineas McCray. The old gent'einan, although 72 years old, gets around as well as our younger farmers. He has his third wife, a woman kindly and generously disposed and full of business from the word go. Her daughter, Ida Lynum, performs uicelv on the organ and sings beautifully. Mr. Mc., like myself, likes to talk and so we took no note of time, and night hud far advanced when we retired. By the way Mr. Mc. is ahead feeler and I had him phrenologize me. lie pronounced me fully up to the standard in cor.ibativeness and my bump of amativeness fully developed, even above the ordinary. In those pertaining more particularly to the cerebrum, he found fully developed equal to our Webster. Aud to judge from th:'correct ness of his views in my case, I would class him as an expert.

In going forth the next morning I passed the home of Ben j. Reeves. Mr. R. is very sick and has been for some time. .Mrs. Reeves, like all our good house

wive

likes to read the home news, so she ordered the ilrcrt'BLlc.AX. The corn in places from hereto Warrington will not make over half crop, owing to the ravages of the Grub worm.

I met E. N. Beck at W.'MIKIXGTON, He has rented the new Hour mill there, and from his gentlemanly and courteous manner, he will undoubtedly attract attention. He has an experienced miller and one of the best equipped mills in the country, and the farmers will patronize him from far and near, for this is a much needed acquisition there.

I learned while there that a little child of Jinmiie Clarke was badly burned, and was having spasms. It had been playing in the yard with matches and one had ignited and set lire to its clothes with the above results.

As I came

aouth

I saw M. O. Gilbreath

still putting up hay. He is a Republican of the uncompromising kind. At the Valley, as at other country towns, boys ranging from the age of 10 to 18 years of age, congregate at the stores and use profane language well mixed with vulgarity of the lowest kind in defiance of those in charge. It is sad that this is so, when there are so many nice churches in these villages. It seems if the proper restraint was put upon them by

their parents, especially their fatheirs these boys at their age could be accomplishing great good for the Master.

I spent Friday night with John T. Collins and family. Mrs. Collins, as well as John, is possessed with many social qualities that commend them to all with whom they come in contact.

In passing the residence of Billy Ken yon, the sound of Billy's anvil attracted my attention, and I hitched the filly and interviewed him. 4 Mr. Kenyon moved from Warrington to this place, southeast of Maple Valley, about a year ago. He has a splendid location, fine buildings, 60 acres of ground, a nice shop and plenty of trade. Daisy, his only child, is full of spirit, aud very much a lady. She says she is lonesome there, but I don' tknow why she should be for she has a nice piano and two pretty little ponies for her own use.

From here to CHARLOTTESVILLE the men are all out in force, working the roads, and with the many modern graders, they are enabled to accomplish five times the amount of work that we used to do with our shovels in a given time.

As I came in Saturday evening I noticed that the diggers for gas between here and Cleveland had suspended operations, having secured the desired article.

Most of the farmers had gone to town to get their REPUBLICAN to post up on Sunday, and read where Rambler had been the week before RAMBLER.

Wedding Bells.

WALK ER—WIIIT ESELL.

Wednesday evening at 7 p. m., at the residence of the brides father. Mr. Charles Whitesell, of Knightstown, Mr. Wood L. "Walker, of this city was united in marriage to Miss Nellie Whitesell. Rev. D. W. Brown, of Indianapolis, per formed the ceremony in the presence of relatives and invited guests. The presents were both numerous and costly. After partaking of a sumptuous wedding supper, the young couple left on the nine o'clock train for St. Louis and the west, on a wedding trip, to be gone a week or ten days. Upon their return they will begin housekeeping in the east side of E. B. Grose's double house ou North street. Mr. Walker is well and favorably known in this city, and is in the employ of his father in the Mammoth dry goods store of J. Ward Walker & Co. The REPUBLICAN welcomes Mrs Walker to our city and wishes the young couple a joyous and prosperous future.

Kigdon lasher.

Last Sunday evening, Mr. Charles Rigdon and Miss Mattie Lisher of Shelby county, were united in marriage by the Carrollton minister in the presence of their immediate relatives. On Monday an infair dinner was given the young couple, at the old Rigdon liome-stead two miles south of Fountaintown. W. W. Rigdon, a brother of the groom, and family attended from this place. The REPUB. LICAX office was remembered with some choice cake.

Clmrcli Festival.

The entertainment at the Presbyterian church Tuesday night was quite successful. The program, as given in last weeks REPUBLICAN", was carried out in a very satisfactory manner. Owing to sickness, Mr. Clarence. Hough was not present, but his place was supplied by Mr. Logan Glasscock, who recited two numbers in a pleasing manner. The ladies of the church are to be congratulated, as the the financial receipts, clear of expenses were £23.10.

Mr. I. P. Poulson desires us to inform the junior editor of the Democrat that he is not any more of a proprietor of The People's Gas Co., than any other of the persons who have subscribed the sum of £100 to that company, except, that he was one of the members that raised the necessary funds to establish the plant that so far as its lines extends, it has 80 per cent, of the patronage on that line, and the people will inform him that the price of gas has materially lessened on other streets where the lines have not been extended. However, the other well, he says, will go down at once, and The Peoples' Gas Co.'s lines will be extended, and the company will continue to furnish rights to gas consumes, all they want of it, forever, for $100 hi cash, or in payments with interest to .suit consumers, which is equal to about 25 cents a stove per month, in any ordina ry dwelling. Mr. Poulson further says, the real fact is, that the editor of the Democrat owns a few hundred dollars of stock in the Greenfield Gas Co., and the present prices for gus will not yield him as large a per cent, as heretofore, and right there is the milk in the cocoanut, and that, AND ONLY THAT, is what is the matter with you, John.

Bessie Jackson, little daughter of the county superintendent, pleased the audience in her declamation at the Presbyterian church entertainment last Tuesday evening. The little lady had many compliments passed on her.

It is simply remarkable how cheap Hart & Thayer are selling all kinds of goods now, the way to account for it is their selling exclusively for cash, they have no losses for which to charge their customers an additional sum.

THE REPUBLICAN believes that our home merchants should be protected, and is op-: posed to the town council removing the license on foreign hucksters and venders of any kind who may desire to run in here and sell their articles and at once leave with all the money.

IF editor Mitchell's huckster idea was carried out who would there be to advertise in the papers, have job work done subscribe for the papers, or in fact help us in any way? What does an Indianapolis huckster care for a Greenfield paper, or do to support it? The Democrat favors trading with hucksters, the REPUBLICAN stands by our merchants as they stand by and support it.

WITH three good meat markets and meat sold as low as any other town in the State, the Democrat desires that hucksters be admitted free of charge to peddle their meat around town. These men will then go away and spend their money elsewhere. If John B. Hayes can sell meat as the Democrat states, at onehalf the present price, and then make money, we advise him to come down, rent a room and sell meat, he would have a big trade. The REPUBLICAN is 111 favor of protection for home markets however.

I THE Democrat is opposed to competition in the gas business, but favors more dry goods store and asks the council to take I the license off of hucksters so that they may come in here and sell in opposition to our groceries Mud meat markets. What is the matter with Mitchell?
