WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11.

DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET FOR Bkcketart of Statt JOILN U. HHANKLIN, of Vanderburg County. Auditor or State MAHLON D. MANSON, of Montgomery County. . Tkeasurek of Statk WILLIAM FLEMING, of Allen County. Attorney General TIIOM AS W. "WOOLLEN, of Johnson County. SUPERINTENDENT or PCBLIO INSTRUCTION JAMES H. SMART, of Allen County. Gi-stave Dobe, the celebrated French art. ist, intends visiting America toon. He wants to see Niagara, the Mammoth cave, the Eocky mountains and the Yoseniite. He will spend some time in Mexico sketching The few pictures sent over to the Paris exposition and the conversation the American artists have inspired his longing for the trip Tm Goodwin is a money lender, and probably one of the most grasping and soulless of the profession. In one instance a gentleman applied for a loan. He was willing to pay 10 per cent., Tom's advertised rate. Tom told him that in addition to the 10 per cent, interest he most have 5 per cent commissions. This the applicant .declined to pay, whereupon Tom remarked, "Oh! you are not sufficiently hard up yet." Sach is the creature that the Journal proclaims as a leading Methodist in Indianapolis. A New York lawyer is hunting up the old court records to find evidence that will enable his clients to claim successfully an estate of $1,000,000, the location of the estate being unknown to the claimants. The Vanhorns, Vansants, Yanaicklea, and Macorcles are the interested parties, bat as yet they have little in support of their strange claim excepting a vague ramor. Mr. Ryan, one of the Vanhorn family, says that his grandfather came from Holland to New York about 1750, and it u the land that he then owned that is now being hunted up, and that when it is found there will be enough for all the heirs. The coloring of articles of dress has become a very important matter, and much attention is paid to the dyes. The scarlet used in dying stockings produces inflammation of the limbs, which results in serious skin diseases. Especially has this been the case with thoae worn by children, the coloring being very brilliant. Now an English paper warns ladies against wearing green gloves, and cites two cases in London recently in which blistering and swelling of the hands followed an hour's wear of gloves of the most delicate green tint. The cause of this was found in the arsenic which entered largely into the dye. Last week the authorities of Philadelphia arrested a family cf female tramps. A mother and her three daughters had tramped through New Jersey, New York, Delaware and. Pennsylvania, subsisting entirely by begging along the way. The mother was on crutches and one of the daughters was a cripple. Two other members of the family, also women, are tramping home from the west, having been all the year traveling through Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. The women were rather intelligent, but seemed proad of their life, expressing great liking far the freedom from work and the outdoor exercise. They were literally "tramps" of the most pronounced class. BEX MTTLKR AD HlHMCHCSETTs RADICALS. Those who ehoose to believe that Ben Butler is not giving radicalism in Massachusetts a great deal of uneasiness just now are hugging a delusion, a fact of which they will be convinced in due time. At this particular juncture in public affair Butler ia the style of a man that is certain to come to the front, and in spite of opposition make himself heard and felt. Ben Butler likes commotion. He is the stormy petrel of Massachusetts politics, and will be found sitting serenely on the biggest waves that violent agitation can roll over the state. The Boston Herald is evidently alarmed at the way Butler Is talking. It sees him. uaJermining the foundation of the radical party of the old Cay state, and drawing around him Immense crowds who cheer to the echo his utterences. It says: We can not forget that the republican party li responsible for Butler, and deserves to be made nick by him. It has repeatedly accepted him as good enough to send to congress, to deal with national questions, though tt haa refused to allow him to be governor of Massachusetts. It haa encouraged hU bluster and awagger when they were exercised on the people of the souti, and there would be a sort of poetic Jnstice in It if thoy should be forced to see him cavorting around In their own china closet. Ho far as the republican party of Massachusetts la concerned. It deserves a severe shaking up, and we shall not lament if It get it. But the people of the state will make a grave mistake If they accept Bea Butler' pretension m a reformer. He haa not a drop of reform blood In him. He is one of the worst instances of fattening on the spoils of office. The platform on which he hxa sneaked to capture the state Is not his at all. lie baa been a pait, and one of the worst parts, of that which he denounces. We should enjoy nothing better than a campaign for reform In state affaire, with a decent man for standard bearer; but Ben Butler as a re former is Satan rebuking sin. We only hope that he will succeed In frightening the doml nant party out of its boots, and calUng atten tion to abnsea which honest men will reform we care not of what party. We conclude tbat it is right difficult to tell who or what party is responsible for Ban B J tier, and we doubt very much if Bat ler could tell himself, it interviewed upon the subject. Nor does it matter. He is now on the stump in Vrassachuselta for the per pose of overthrowing the infamous radical party in thai state. It is a grand mission, and we are not surprised that Bntler haa been failed, providentially called, to accomplish the work. No man Letter understands the blighting, withering cur.e of radicalism no man is more thoroughly po3ted ia the statistics of its frauds, its robberies, its thieves and perjuries. No man Is more familiar with the deep laid schemes of radicalism to oppress the people the masse to rob them of their earnings and reduce them to pacperism while legislate in? to enrich the few; and in this terrible hour of calamity and

radical wickedness Ben Butler takes the stump for the people. The Bos ion Globe of recent date publishes a synopsis of Butler's speech at Lowell. It is a specimen speech. It aroused the most intense enthusiasm.' We give a tew extracts, that our

readers may know Butler's 6tyle, and why radicalism is disturbed. The Herald need have no fears. Butler wfil frighten the infamous radical party in Massachusetts. He is shaking down about its ears its refuge of lies. He is tearing away the underpinning that supports the thieving superstructure of the radical party. In his Lowell speech he said: We have met here for the highest purpore .known to freemen to consult together upon the questions of the day, the laws that govern us and who shall execute those laws. To no other nation under high heaven has this great privilege been granted but tons, freemen of America. To us this aov reign power ha been granted, this power of government. It becomes us, therefore, calmly, considerately, with judgment and Intelligence, to Kee what we are about to do, and to see that we act for the best good of the present generation as well as for posterity. The maintenance ot republican government deends upon the masses of the people. If they are not right, it ia all wrong. If they are right, nothing Is wrocg. If prosperity, intelligence, happiness do not exist with the masses, the few are destroyed as well as the masses. I ant a man who from youth have always believed in the intelligence of the masses. I have found the aggregation of mind ia the masses to more than equal the intellect of any one man er any few men. I have found the aggregation of honesty among the masNes more than the aggregation of honesty among the few. I entirely dissent from the doctrine recently promulgated on the Pacific coast by a distinguished clergyman, that the few only rov honest and the masses usually bad and dishonest. lie may have found such his experience among the churches (enthusiastic applause, but I have found it in my life experience directly opposite. Another tbJng about the inasnt'H ot men. They always have a sense of fair play and fair dealing that usually keeps them right. The masses of men never mean harm to anybody. They may sometimes make mistakes; sometimes be carried away for the moment by passion and prejudice; but, as a rule, they are freer from passion and prejudice than the more intelligent few. No better example can be asked than that our commonwealth affords in the history of the olden time, when we tried deciepitold men and bowed down old women for witchcraft' and sent some of them to condign punishment fir too many at any rate. The mass of men in Massachusetts opposed those persecutions. They were carried on by the intelligent few. The clergymen were the Instigators of the movement. Thank God, norniau in my profession no la W3er had anything to do with those persecutions. Laughter and applause. Not one of them sat as judge upon a case. The five judges were clergymen. The attorney general was a merchant, and the poor witches were not allowed by law any counsel. Afterwards It was wen what a horrible thing it was; and to the credit of those misguided men, more than one of them made a pu bile confession of his mistakes. Therefore, I say, I have learned to trust the masses for this reason. In the oldeu time this great country of ours, for more than SO years, was in the hands ot the democratic masses, with the exception of the south, where the democracy was composed of another class of ieople. The laboring men, the middlemen, they are the clasfea we speak of when we speak of the masses of Unpeople governing the couutry. I am shaking to old men, gray haired men, who have memories. I am also eaklng to the youth fresh from the books of history. I ask you to say if, in all that time, there was anything done by legislation to injure the few anything tint looked like destruction of property or capital or that had a tendency to injure it in any way On the rlt;ht deck-ion of this depends the whole structure of government. If it can not rest upon ruch a basis it can not rest upon anything, .'fit can not rest upon such a basis then republican Institutions must go down in the night, out in the storm and darkness, never to be revived again except through the thunder's reverberations and the lightning's glare. Then will be. witnessed a scene more terrible than ever seen from Hlnal. We must depend upon the intelligence of the masses. If they are not right 11 would be better for one strong man, Whatever they call him, what care I, Aristocrat, democrat, autocrat, one Who can rule and dare not, lie, to take control of the government. Applause loud and long. But above all, if I can not have a government for the many, for the democracy, give me a despotism. In the name of a jnst Ood, give me anything, but do not se nd upon this country the rule of an aristoc racy great applause, where a despot is in every village eating out the vitals of the peo ple. Renewed applause. Anything but that. Continued applause. I have been led to this train of thought, fellow citizens, because we are told that If the men In this country have their way there is danger of destruction of property, tne overthrow of vested rights, agrarian Isni, socalled, bloodshed, mur der and the like, like that which followed the French revolution. The cry is already raised against the laboring man of communist, socialist and like terms of opprobrium, precisely aa the term abolitionist was opprobrlously ap plied to the men now dropping one by one into their graves, who stood up heroically In the noble cause of liberty. lApplause. Men forget that the scenes of the French revolution were at the close of the rule of the worst kind 0f oligarchy, under an imbecile king; and that it wai only the protest' of tha masses against that oligarchy It was not their national government. The French revolution attempted to get rid of an oligarchical government, not to carry on one of their own. One need have no fear of such a revolution. The fear is raised simply as a party cry to blind ns, as the cuttlefish when pursued, in eastern seas, throws out an inky liquid which makes tne wa'.er dark as nlgbt, and In the darkness thus made hides himself from his pursuers. I Laughter and applause. This is Just the way that printers' laK is used laughter, for purposes of concealment. Renewed laughter and applause. The rads of Massachusetts are made up of hide bound aristocrats, grasping Shylocks, thieving officials and fanatical fools. Butler is knocking the life out of the aristocratic element He Is exhibiting the Shylocks in all of their inherent deformity and pound ing common sense into others. The indica tions are tbat when he gets through with the job which he has undertaken, the honest people of Massachusetts will be able to un d?rs?and the height and depth, length and breadth of radical infamy. Accoemsu to the Memphis Avalanche the rich men of that city have deserted her in her hour of need, and have not even given of their wealth to help the destitute who were too poor to flee. Instead of opening their stores and their purses, they have locked up their merchandise and taken their money with thera and by no act of theirs is a single hungry penan fed, or a sick one given a nurse and physician. The Avalanche says: "Memphis has many rich men who own 'palatial stores along Main street. There is

'not one of these rich men hsre to-dsy, In 'the hour of our greatest calamity. These 'rich men are neither represented in person 'nor by their surplus dollars. The majority 'of the men who are standing in the deadly 'breach, fighting the most gigantic plague 'that ever cursed American soil, are men 'who do not own one dollar in real estate In 'Memphis." Then a number of names are given, jhose of men who bad the ability but not the will to aid. "Have we seen the light 'of their countenance or the color of their 'money? Facts are stubborn things, and we 'are now treating of facts. The men who to'day are standing in the fore front of battle 'have no capital but manhood. God bless 'them.'

THE RADICAL CORKCPHOX FUND The army of officials now under command of a fraud created and crime stained .president exceeds 80,000 men and women. It is fair to assume tbat the average salaries of these officials is $1,000, giving a grand aggregate of $30,000,000. Upon this sum there is levied a tax of 2 per cent to create a corruption fund which will not exceed $1,600,000. This money is to be distributed so that it will accomplish to the largest extent ossible the nefarious purposes of the radical party. That Indiana is to have a large share of the fund is admitted, and that its influence will be felt is certain. The radical managers now are as desperate and as unscrupulous aa when, in South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, they utilized crime to make it possible to reverse majorities and give the states to Hayes. No fraud will be too huge to stagger the radical conspirators. No forgeries will make them hesitate, if by transforming minorities into majorities the legislature can be secured for the radical party, and no perjuries will be too monstrous if they can be used in making the other crimes effective. Hayes, the infamous creature, who is still rewarding radical villians for the part they played in placing him in power, contributes liberallv from his worse that stolen salary to the radical corruption funds, and sets an example which the whole army of hangers on is expected to follow or make room for those who will at the bidding of the leaders play the role of coward and slave. It is understood that, if two per cent of the salaries of government employes is not sufficient to carry the close districts, a new law will be made and an additional million raised. The democracy of Indiana might as well understand now that large amounts of this radical corruption fund will be employed in this state. If it is necessary to stuff ballot boxes men will be found who, for pay, money or federal offices, will cram them full of fraudulent ballots, and when the count is made, other miscreants will be on hand to commit the necessary forgeries to make the tally papers appear correct and finally the state will have its John Shermans, who will bargain for the necessary amount of perjury to perfect the scheme. The democratic party will do well to watch with sleepless vigilance the radical managers, who see inevitable defeat if an honest election is secured, and that their only hope of success lies in the commission of crimes similar to those practiced ia Florida and Louisiana by Madison Wells, John Sherman, and their co workers in villainy. Ton uoonwiVA recollection of HARD TIMES. Tom said in his speech on Friday night last to sixty persons, all told, of whom only twenty five were colored people: The first thing that I remember to have ever heard on politics, more than fifty years ago, waa that times were bard, and that somebody was to blame for it; and I have heard that same tune, with slight variations, every day since, Sundays Included. It began, as near as I can learn, in the early part of the year 1, about the time that old Mr. Adam had to make aprons out of fig leaves and dig potatoes in the hot sun. He was not unwilling to work, but he preferred to be engaged In something more genteel than farming, lie would rather buy and sell real estate, or keep a grocery, or practice law, or even preach; but somehow h could get nothing to do in either line. It was very common for hliu of evenings to say to his wife, "I declare I never saw times so hard before." Tom forgot to tell his little audience the whole story. Just before the hard times of winch Tom sneaks the devil had been interfering with Adam's affairs, and persuaded Adam and Eve to violate the law, ami in tbis way subject themselves to the multi plied inconveniences of the bard times. This same devil has been hobnob bing with the radical party, aud has persuaded Tom Goodwin, the real estate shark, to deny the inspiration of the Bibl-, the resurrection of . the body and the divinity of Jesus Christ and finally so masked him In brass that he has the impudence to espouse the cause of the thieving radical party, and in the wealth of his perfidy endeavor to beguile the colored people of Indian i polls. If the devil had kept out of Kien Adam would have never experienced the hard times of which Tom heard about fifty years ago, and If the devil had kept out of Tom he would not have made an ass of himself on Friday night. The devil was evidently in the radical party when to help Shyloctaj and oppress the people it made bonds payable in greenbacks payable in gold, aqd in this way put $000,000,000 of money into the pockets of money sharks by taking it out of the pockets of the masses. Tom Goodwin applauds this devilish act of robbery, and so does the. devil. The devil was in the radical party when it filled the south with carpet bag agents to lie and rob, and the cloven hoofed autocrat of hell evidently influenced the radical party when it filled the south with federal bayonets to stab states and disperse legislatures. These things forced hard times upon the south and kept them in operation for years, until the democratic party ousted devil, carpet-baggers and the radical party all about the same time. The work of contracting the currency, by which the country has been filled with idleness, poverty, beggary aud crime, evidences conclusively that the devil was in the councils of the radical party and contributed his fall share in bringing about the hard times now crushing the people, and if Tom Goodwin had sense enough to dia tinguish between the Bible and a dime novel he would not be helping the devil and the radical party to mislead the colored peo rle of IndUnapolia. Tom Good win's recol lection of the hard times he heard about fifty years ago is defective.

NATIONAL BANKS AND THE CA9I PAIGN. There are now in operation more than two thousand national banks. John Sherman says these Institutions are without political influence and that their presidents generally disagree about political measures. But John Sherman is known to be a broker in perjury and one of the most accomplished villains unhung. He does not hesitate to commit the most infamous crimes to advance the interests of the radical party, and hence his declarations with regard to the national banks may be set down as a trick to deceive the public. It is well enough just now for the people to realize the vast money resources of the national banks, and to carefully estimate the money power concentrated in the hands of their managers to effect legislation. The following statement, from the comptroller of the currency, shows the condition of these institutions on the 30th day of June, L87S: RESOURCES.

That they are now engaged In this business, the following pronunciamento by James Buell, secretary of the American bankers' association, is conclusive. It is marked "Private and suggestive," and is as follows:Ik is advisable to do all in your power to sustain, such daily aud permanent weekly papers, especially the agricultural and religious press, as will oppose the issulugof greenback paper money, and that you also withhold patronage or favors from all applicants who are nut will ing 10 op post- me crvenoaca or government lssu or )aper money. Let the government issue the coin ana the banks issue the paper money ot the country, for thus we can better protect each other. So long as the greenback men are satisfied with the unconvertible bond, no harm can come to onr Interests, but to repeal a law creating natioual banks, or to restore to circulation the government issne of paper money, will be to provide the people with money from other than our own supplying, and t herefore seriously allect your individual profits as borrower and lender. Be sure to see your member of congress at once, and engage him to support our interests tbat we may control legislation. We can depend upon everything except congress this administration, and if we are vigilant we can control the next one. Write if you have any suggestion to make or anything of importance to continualeule to Jam k fci'ELL, No. 247 Broadway. Room 4. Secretary American Bankers' Association. The people will hardly fail to heed the utterances of Mr. Buell. They sharply define the line of policy to be pursued and the objects in view. The power the radical party has centralized in the national banks is dangerous beyond exaggeration, and can not be too soon abridged for the welfare of the country. THE JOURNAL AND THE DEFAULT EKS. Some months since the county commis sioners of Marion county ordered an exam ination of the books of county treasurers, be ginning with Mr. George F. Myers and endins: with Mr. Ben F. Riley. The examina tion cost Marion county the sum of $3,757.30 and developed deficits to the amount of $12,070.41. Of the four radical cfncials every one proved to be a defaulter, although the first named, now dead, was for the email sum of only $33 61, leaving a balance of $12,91G 80 to the accounts of Wright, Erdehueyer and Riley. The defaulter, Wright, id now a member of the city council and helping to make laws for the government of honest men. Riley is electioneering for Schooley with the understanding (so it is reported), if the people are so regardless of their interests a.- to elect another radical treasurer, tliat he (Riley) is to be second in command of the county' cash. Now here is a mass of radical crookedness and rottenness that demands the most emphatic condemnation. Notwithstanding this the Journal Is as silem as a ded oyster. Why is this thus? What is the matter with the radical, Sbylock, contraction organ? What influences restrain its indignation? Why does it not deck itself in war paint and porcupine quills and go for the radical defanlters? Why does it not demand that they Bhall at once pay oyer the money taken from the tax payers of Marion county? These are proper questions; they are timely. They hit the Shylock organ in its vital parts. They stick like barbed arrows; they cut its back like a cato'-oine tails, and still the Journal is as silent as a mummy. It dare not so much as whimper. The money Is out of the treasury. It is in the pockets of thrve blatant radicals. An election is at hand. If the Journal is true to the tax-payers and denounces radical defaulters in becoming terms, it will hurt its party and interfere with its income. Hence silence. The people notice thew things. They declare that the Journal is cowardly; that its silence gives consent to shameless roguery, and that it is deserving of neither- respect nor confidence. There ia not on record a more palpable disregard of the people's welfare than the Journal has displayed in this wretched business. It shows that it has no courage to advocate reform within its own party, which comes only by a rugged opposition to all sorts of ofikial crookedness and corruption. We do not believe that another instance can be found in the country whito, even in radical maladministration, four radicals holding the odea of county treasurer, following each other in immediate succes sion, all proved to be defaulters. This farce of itself, ii the Journal Lad any sort

.of appreciation of its duties to the public or respect for honest journalism, would compel it to speak out, thorj every word it uttered were like pulling ont. its eye-teeth. But so far it has not said a Wk'rd of disapproval. It ought to speak out. , We propose to whip It into decency If such thing is possible. We are determined to Juake it denounce this county deficit business o.r develop the most singular case of lock-jaw on record. lConirou.nIcated.1 REV. TOM GOODWIN. This gentleman has yoluntarily entered the arena of political 6!iscus9lon in a long "diatribe" review of tht' position and speeches of Dr. De La Maiyr We have read over his speech as it Is published in the Journal; reviewed his headings in order to fully and fairly gather and weigh his arguments, and now, having nothing else just at tbis time to engage our particular attention, we propose to say a few words of the man who made the speech and of the

speech itself. Goodwin has never been anything more than a mere pseudo politician, and hardly that, for his time has been taken up, as we learn, with preaching, praying and fumigating around in the cause of temperance, and if he has ever made any headway or success in any of his efforts there has never been any public record made of it Hence we are at a loss how to introduce him to the readers of the Sentinel. Most cf our readers are unacquainted with him, and we are disposed to do the fair thing toward him, and we will just say that he is one of those 'small minded sort of men who think that all the religion (?) of the country is found in the republican party. He thinks it is proof of a great want of intelligence to be a democrat He has long been of the faith, we learn, that the "Methodist Episcopal church, of which he is "an 'unworthy member," and alsoa local preacher, belongs in toto to the republican party by the divine claim of being the God and morality party of the United States. He further believes that he, as one of the watchmen on the walls of Zion, has a divine call to abuse, misrepresent and even to lie on the aforesaid democratic party, as being the child of the devil, and he also thinks it his especial duty to make himself conspicuous, like the monkey up the tree, in playing the demagogue whenever the way opens for his versatile pen or his German silvery tongue. And now that Dr. De La Matyr is out for congress he thinks because the doctor is a Methodist and a minister that he can honorably pitch into him, give him particular fits for daring to have anything to do with the democratic party in any shape or form. The class of Methodist preachers of which Goodwin is a rear rank representative have done the church most fearful harm by their blatant and impudent intolerancy of demo crats and of the democratic party, ot which there is abundant proof in the speech made by him the other evening. Goodwin, in his ignorance and with a spirit or willful misrepresentation, says "The 'timea are not exceptionally hard." Facts contradict him in every quarter, and people by the million would say to him "you lie, 'sir." His discussion of this point is all sophistry and twaddle. It is no wonder that he got come $14 for a whole quarter's preaching. It looks to us as if it was dear at that, especially if his sermons were anything like this speech, full of falsehood, and misrep resentation. The antedeluvian age which the Intermeddling local preacher and money changer has attained ought to have taught him someting, but it is evident that he is only a one sided specimen of gospel honesty, and if he had- lived in the days of the Savior he -.vould have got about thirtynine stripes when those fellows were driven out of the temple, and he would have deserved them, tso, for any preacher who would take twenty per cent, should have this merit He is a pretty example of the consistency of any preacher. Why, his very impudence is an insult to common decency, as his presumption is a mockery of all intelligence and all charity. In coming to the front as he does in this speech, to read a moral and political diatribe to Dr. De La. Matyr ia regard to his candidacy, Goodwin shows-himself up in all the weakness, impertinence and intolerant ig norance of his own abilities and character. He tries to exhilit his smartness, but his wit fails in every point, as It does also in its sense and applicability. Hi attempted charges of inconsistency, which he makes against Dr. De La Matyr, are imbecile in rorm, false in fact ungenerous in spirit and wholly destitute of that magnanimity of character which should be exhibited by one preacher toward another. Goodwin knows tkat it is no disgrace to bea democrat, albeit, like his" party, he would still falsely claim that all the piety and intelligence and respectability of the country belong in that direction. God help onr country if religion is represented by preachers who will bo coally lie and bear false w itness against their neighbors, and who, with a long diatribed face, loan money to their fellow Christians at 20 cent, and then turn and swear thejt the "times are not exceptionally hard." If such men as these are to read homihtic lectures to oar candidates, our churches would do better to shut up shop and go it on reneral principles. If the nationals and democrat had nominated Tom Goodwin for their congressman he would have been out among his radical negro friends in the full spirit of bis ambition, and he - would assure 'them that the democratic party ' is their only true friend. But the saddle is on another oclored horse, and Goodwin no doubt thought that now was bis time to abuse and slander and lie on a brother Methodist preacher. He has gone and done it and now Dr. De La Matyr must feel very awlul about it. Yes, he would, but he knows that as tonart as Tommy is he is without any power or influence, and that his opposition will d the doctor good make his election more certain, and make everything more lovely, even through ,the whole campaign. Try it ngiln, Tommy; we rather like the sound of your sonorous voice. "Don't sweu, Deonis," said his fnudu lency; "it may lower the value of your oath when you come to ba counted io."

STATE INTELLIGENCE.

Kokomo: Pollard Young waa shot Saturday evening and fatally iijured by Const. ble Burk for refusing arrest and drawing a revolver on the otZicer. Loganspor t : Ahorse attached to Rhoades' bakery wagon ran avay Saturday, turning the wagon over on UiO driver, James Walters, iniuring him so baJIy that his recovery is doubtful. The Petersburg fair last week was well attended, many presents from this county. The citizens of Tike county pull together and take a commendable interest in the prosperity of their agricultural society and it annuel exhibitions. On the 2Gth ultimo a Mr. T. Hendrickson was digging a well for Clint Weininger, in Rutherford township. Martin county, when it caved in on him, killing him instantly.
