Moore & Snyder's gas plant is

doing nicely, and they should be given great credit for coining forward and contributing their means to secure gas, which has been piped for miles, each way, along the public high ways, that the residents may enjoy the fruits of their investigations. I hear that Mr. Moore is part owner of the Morristown gas plant now.

As was premediated by me, I drove down to our patrons, Samuel Corkins, near night. Mr. Corkins has been on our list for several years, and shows up as one of our best paying subscribers. He was born in Maryland in 1821 and has lived in Indiana since 1829. He and his good wife have jogged along 43 years together, have raised a nice family of boys and girls, all of whom are grown. Seme of them are married and have imitated the example of their father by becoming regular subscribers to the REPUBLICAN. They have a daughter living in Prairie City, 111.,who is married to H. C. Tyner, a son of

H. Tyner, one of our old friends Morristown. I learned that and Mrs. H. C. Tyner came near getting killed in a runaway a short time ago. The daughters at home are good singers and performers on the organ, and kindly favored me with some choice selections of music. They will all please accept my thanks for kindness shown, and I will resume my journey.

W near Mr.

At Morristown I met many of our patrons, among them, L. B. Cole, Geo. C. Hargrove and Thomas Anderson. Mr. Anderson was driving a fine sorrel Lincolnshire filly not yet two-years-old, that is hard to surpass in the way of horse

Mr. Anderson drives none but the

flesh. best. Being in F. M. Smith's shoeing shop my attention was called t® the old stove doing duty as a gas heater there, which proved to be the identical stove that had warmed us boys and girls in Sugar Grove school-house No. 2, twenty five years ago, in old Rush. It looked a great deal worse for the wear, but still its old ribbed sides were familiar to me, and memories of merry playful girls and boys snow balling, coasti ng, townball and spelling bees came to my mind and I thought of how often we had burned the raised letters, W. C. Davis & Co.,Cincinnati, O., into our ball bats some twenty years ago, and I would have liked to have carried the old thing home with me. Mr. Anderson had brought it over from Rush county several years ago and in some old iron. Mr. Smith purchased it for its present abode. Old school mates in KansaB and many western

states

would .readily recognize the

subject of the above sketch. Many are the paper balls I have tossed over its top at

This comprises eveiything to be found in our well selected stock this line, at 40 cents a yard, worth Go cents. One lot of fine Henrietta ors, at 60 cents, worth 75 cents. Black goods at l(»e, 20c, 32c. Cloths. Assabet suitings, all go at this sacrifice. 10 pieces Simpson Black Prints at 5 cents a yard. 2.000 yard Bes

their hopes and fears,

and to encourage them to be progressive and move forward with the procession, for the advancement -f everything that is calculated to assist our people financially and otherwise.

Jas. E. Smith is a veteran nietchaut at Fountaintown,

haA'ins been

in the goods

business since 1835. The fact that he is still in the business is a guarantee of the good faith of the people.

B. F. Sturgis has filled the shelves of the Inlow store and is starting out under favorable circumstances.

my sweetheart sitting ju^t beyond, to attract her attention. You know all the little lads and lasices had their school sweethearts, and 1 presume they do so now, and we would try in our awkward fashion to show our gallant preference by presents of big red apples, slate pencils and such. Going to and from the school we would carry her d'nner bucket alon^, and she. for these little courtesies, would blush as only a school girl can. It might be that my rural lad and lassie friends iu Hancock county do not "catch on" to any of the above, but I kinder think they do. So much for the memories brought up by meeting my old and almost forgotten friend, the old school-house stove.

L. B. Gole has his horses in good shape and they are fine bred fellows. C. W. Morrison is doing a good business in furniture and undertaking, and is well and favorably known in his own and adjoining counties. See his ad in this paper.

The Morristown creamery is neat and clesn, and is being run with an eye to the above. The managers are men of good judgment, and are running in strict accord with good business sense. They received 10,000 pounds of milk Monday and Tuesday, which was below the average, owing to the cold weather. One hundred pounds of milk makes four and a half to five pounds ot gilt idge butter, besides, they make a large quantity of cheese, which is first-class and meets a ready sale. Their butter maker is a man of large experience and thoroughly understands his business. I say it with due respect to our good farmer's wives who are rag butter makers, that there is as much difference between this butter and theirs as there is between their butter and none, simply because they have the facilities for making it while sweet and of separating the fatty substance which the milk contains, from the cream, which our ordinary butter maker don't have. The butter-milk is bought readily by the farmers at twenty-five cents per barrel for their pigs. L. P. Good of the Morristown bank is at the head of the management, and I do not think that it could have been placed in more able hands. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the bank. He is kind and courteous aud a thorough business man. Hurry up the Greenfield creamery.

At the recent temperance meetings of Francis Murphy at Morristown, 500 signed the pledge. They have organized a regular temperance league there, which will no doubt accomplish much good.

Frank Johnson of the Sun is making his paper appreciated by the people and is constantly adding new subscribers to his list. Frank is a nice man and deserves good success, I visited his office, which is in good trim, aud he is now making some money, I ain glad to note.

I met our old subscriber, Elwood Hill. He said he was now burning natural gas at his home.

H. C. Johnson, the druggist of Gwynueville, who lately moved from Charlottesville, has had a good trade there. Since the fire and explosion which unfortunately destroyed the business house of C. M. Niles at Charlottesville, Mr. Johnson will move his stock back there, as Mr. Niles will not resume the drug business. Charlottesville is a go »d location and can well support a good store of this kind.

W. W. Wilcoxon is one of the principal moving spirits of Gwynneville. He has a uice general store, is post master and proprietor of the large saw mill, tile and brick factory. Mr. Wilcoxon served as trustee of Hanover township several years. He bas been handling Alexander's flour for six years and said it always gave universal satisfaction. Mr. Wilcoxon furnishes large quantities of quartered

Driving up through Charlottesville I met D. B. Loudenback on the road. He was driving a fine black mare which he has for sale, although a democra', he is a good friend and patron of this paper.

His faiher-in-law, Enoch Pearson, is quite sick at his sons, Peter Pearson. In Charlottesville I saw posters up in all the conspicuous places executed in 1 be beautiful penmanship of C. M. Niles, calling for business meetings and announcing as plain as could be that the citizens had waked up and were getting in earnest,

to sink another gas well. Their circulars named several good industries that they were desirous of securing, and I hope they may succeed in landing all of them. I know of nothing to hinder Charlottesville from becoming one of the best towns in the county. She has a good class of business men, all jolly whole-souled men, who will do all in their power to propitiate their mutual interests in every com mendable way.

Our friend, C. M. Niles, has been very unfortunate in the loss of his nice brick business room, but will soon begin the erection of anew room, and will resrme business again. I hope he may be encouraged, for Cash is one of the best business ineuin Charlottesville.

It is pleasant to meet Tom Niles, Tom is one of my good friends, an industrious, good hearted man, who has but few enemies. I hope his pleasant counteuance may continue to smile in Charlottesville for many years yet to come.

Lafe Griffith had sold $40.00 worth of goods the evening I was there. Lafe is grandpa, but doesa't look it. His son, Frank, living at Sheridan has a nice boy at his home. The REPUBLICAN hopes he may grow and prosper and vote the republican ticket.

As my time was limited, I failed to call on Rock & White, H. F. White, Windsor & Jackson, Dan Burke and others, but wil see them soon and give them a rambling mention.

As a wind up I will say that Eli Hunt paid for his paper, and said it was a good one. Elijah Hunt of Cleveland became a subscriber, Samuel Davis of Cumberland and many others, and still there's more to follow.

I cannot clos? without mentioning the extreme kindness shown me by some of my Cumberland friends during a flying visit there. 1 am under obligations to J. W. Little of the Little hotel for favors that are appreciated. Mr. Little was recently married to Miss Alice Coon, a nice young lady of Cumberland, who will now be hostess of the hotel, which position she will no doubt fill with credit. Here's

Re came near losing his life by the bursting of an emery wheel three weeks ago, which struck him, glancing on the side of liis head and inflicted a dangerous and painful wound.

A. W. Swain has a nice general store at Gwynneville. He is sociable, clever and smart. He came into prominence a few years ago iu a discussion on liberalism with Elder .J. B. Blount, which has since been published in pamphlet form. Mr. Swain was a correspondent to the Rushville Graphic for along time. His items were always read with interest, Veing devoid of the gossiping nature usually accompanying correspondence, barring that of the Greenfield RKPUBLICAX, which can claim without boasting the best quality aud the most complete line of correspondence of any paper ever published in Hancock county. Mr. Swam was a pedagogue for a number of years, and a good one.

Lutteur 4894 and 7210, will be at the barn of James Veatch again this season. The great breeding qualities of this hoise are fully demonstrated. He was imported by Bridgeland & Berry, of Oakwood Stock Farm, and he has filled their guarantee in every particular. They now have at their farm a colt by Lutteur, 17 months old that weighs 1,290 pounds, having refused the magnificent sum of $800 for bim.
