I have been troubled with chronic sore eyes for forty-five years, and during •hat time I have used many different remedies but have never found any that seemed to do me any good, until I procured a box of Chamberlain's Eyeand Skin Ointment. I have used only about one-third of the box, and can truthfully say, I have never had my eyes feel so well, nor look as well as they do now. I expect to cure them entirely with the Ointment.

On my travels last week I saw one old farmer who was loth to depart from the custom of ye olden times and was busily engaged cutting a ten acre field of stalks with a hoe. I saw another field in which the wheat was almost knee high with the stalks still standing on it.

Mrs. S. P. Lewis of Carrollton had me sejd the REPUBLICAN to her daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Bishop of Curtisville Ind.

O. II. Tuttle has a good farm northeast of Carrollton. Mr. T. is an avowed Republican and is in favor of no compromise that would detract from the principles of his party. He dislikes deception in any form and is no friend to people of that class. He takes the REPUBLICAN now.

Marquis Jones lives on Mr. Tuttles farm. He is an industrious farmer and a good citizen. He will read the news as gleaned by the REPUBLICAN. •T. G. Boyce is one of the leading citizens of Carrollton I spent the evening an his home and joined my voice with Mr. B., his daughter Stella and Rossa Armstrong in songs of praise until a late hour. The ladies are organists at the chttrcb and Sunday-school.

I stopped at the oflice of Dr. Larimore a few minutes. The doctor devoted a few minutes of his valuable time to the discussion of events with me. He seriously coiiiemplates removing to New Palestine, as lie thinks he can secure some advantages over his present locution. The doctor has made wonderful progress in business since he located in Carrollton and the people of the surrounding countrv appreciate him highly as a physician ashe is hard to excel. A doctor Glass will likely succeed him at Carrollton.

I was at Burl Karr & Son's Breeding farm. Mr. K. has some of the best bred stock in Shelby county. See horse notes.

Allen Orders was busily engaged at his farm work, he is a benedict again. He is farming his mother's farm south of Carrollton, like mauy in his neigborhopil. Mr. O. reads this paper.

As I drove into New Palestine the sound of the tack hammer was heard on every hand, a sure indication that gentle Anna had arrived there, also that as well as being the cleanest town in the county outwardly, the good housewives attend properly to the interior of their domiciles.

All had not glided as serenely as it should at their election, owing perhaps to the tardy appearance of the tleket in the field, although they have selected good officials.

John Kirkhoff was attending faithfully to the business of the creamery. He also looks carefully alter his interests at Cumberland. The creamery is paying good prices and the product is gilt edge.

For a nice quick clean shave, try \Y aterson just south of Eaton's store. Geo.Gessler reported the sale of pain paint and oxien, as good and that the cures that were being worked by it are wonderful-

Hittle Bros, liverymen have one of the nicest barns in fbe county. They turn out good rigs and charges reasonable and are having a good business.

Mrs. Davis runs one of 1 lie nicest boarding houses I have stopped at. I would recommend hor establishment to the public as being facile princeps.

We are doing a job of printing for Drake Bros. They are building up a great business, which is an example of what industry and perseverance will do when properly applied.

I was nicely entertained one evening at the pretty home of H. C. Nichols. Maud the only child, has all that heart could wish of this world's goods but it does not make her vain. She is a good and dutiful girl. She is fast becoming a line performer on the piano and favored us with som9 good selections. She is now taking lessons from a Professor from Indianapolis.

Messrs. Waltz & Richman are constantly heard from in their business, their store is a model of neatness, by no means excepting the neat and prim Miss Ida Ayers whose bright smile and winning manners declare her the proper person for chief sales lady in this store.

I took sapper at the well known boarding house of H. H. Eaton. Mr. Eaton is ex-marshal of the town and did good service.

At Cumberland Witte & Co. had received a large invoice of lumber from Tennessee. Their business is rapidly increasing. They have oneof the finest and best conducted saw and planing mills in this part of the state. They were having their mill repainted and the front nicely lettered. Foreman I'. J. Downing was doing the work.

The gas drillers had struck an impenetrable rock when down several hundred feet and were compelled to take a new start and are now progressing nicely.

Daniel Jenkins is now doing wood work at the shop of Mr. Hanlein. Dan is a good workman.

A. R. Shepherd has more business than he can manage. He would give employment to a good steady, sober, industrious hand, none other need apply.

J. R. Ebaugh has the agency for the National Stock food. This food is recognized by all stockmen and poultry raisers as being superior in all respects. If your horses don't shed off right or have a poor appetite, cattle or sheep dauncy, chickens have cholera, get a box of it, it will do the work. It is also a preventative for hog cholera. For sale by J. R. Ebaugh.

Recently I had a few minutes conversation with Ed. Little, the operator at Cumberland. He is quite gentlemanly and gives universal satisfaction.

J. S. McConnells were building and house cleaning so I thought to defer calling to a future time. They have the nicest residence and business room in town.

The creamery is conducted on strictly business principles and is making money which it could not help doing under the efficient management of Mr. Franzraan..* He is a good financier and is a success, both at home and away frqm home.

The queen's daughters, in addition to being excellent needlewomen, are also Vgood cooks. When they were children r' they had a little kitchen of their own at Osborne, where they concocted all kinds of dishes, sweets being naturally the favorites. Here they converted into jam the fruit out of their own gardens, and turned out many a savory dish for the "... ". delectation of their brothers, all of whom had as excellent appetites as generally appertain to boys. At least one of the princesses still continues to cook an occasional little dish, and has been heard an ex- 4

to say that she would have made an ex-

ceilent chef.—London Tit-Bits.

An American naturalist has made up a list of 210 birds which are indigenous to Alaska, but, alas! the Engiish sparrow is not among them, and the people of that land cannot be blamed for declaring that the United States has no real sentimental interest in them'.—Detroit F'-ee Press. T'

One of the most noted methods of "tripping the light fantastic" among the Scotch is the sword dance, which was originated by the Scandinavians and old Saxons, and at one time was indulged in by the Spaniards.
