G. P. Mcßride. State Agent and Evangelist of Indiana Free Baptist Association, is conducting a revival meeting at The Free Baptist church which will continue indefinitely. The interest is good but attendance is not large so far. Rev. Maggie Kenton is giving valuable assistance. It is amusing to hear the Apologist angel rant about “The Democrat's war” on himself, as everyone in this section of the .state knows how The Democrat man has been hounded by Marshall and his rascally allies ever since he located here and began exposing their knavery.

The “investigaPion’’ of the “county records” by the tax-ferrets is still in progress. That is, two daughters of Deputy Auditor Murray and another young girl, Miss Lona Flynn, are working upon the books. We have seen nothing whatever of any foreign representative of the tnx-ferrets for several weeks and it would seem that the “investigation” is being made by the local representatives above mentioned. N<j> report has been filed ns yet so far as we are able to learn. QfJn responce to a message,.Geo. Kelchum went to Lafayette hgain last Saturday and found that the horse recently stolen from him had been driven to Lafayette and that near the waterworks station it had fallen dead in the street from hard driving. This had occurred Thursday of the previous week, the next day after it was stolen. The thief was alone at the time and he gave the Baddle and halter—also stolen at the same time l —to a man to haul the dead horse taken away. It was learned that he had then pulled the buggy up the hill by hand and turned south, after which all trace was lost. Mr. Ketchum recovered the saddle and halter but the carriage, the most valuadle part of the property stolen, had probably been sold to some one for a song and is being kept concealed. *
