A Communication.

Mr. Editor—Allow me to speak a few words in favor of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I suffered for three years with the bronchitis and could not sleep at nights. I tried several doctors and various patent medicines, but could get nothing to give me any relief until my wife got a bottte of this valuable medicine, which has completely relieved me. —W. S. Brockman, Bagnell, Mo. This remedy is for sale by Long,

If the frost holds off two weeks longer, the Gifford district of Jasper county will harvest an immense corn crop. Alfred Zook gives notice through the Apologist, that he will apply for a license to sell “booze” to the thirsty at Gifford, at the October term of commissioners’ court, but from what we have learned about the sentiment of the people of Barkley tp., toward having a saloon im their midst, we think Alfred is wasting his money. When you have a legal notice to be published, such as notice of appointment, notice of final settlement, notice of survey, notice of administrator’s or guardian’s sale, non-resident notice, or any other notice not controlled by ■County or township officers, bring it to The Dt mocrat office. Our prices for this work are lower than others by reason of our setting them without any padding whatever, and we will appieriate the f ivor.

The Midway attract ois at the Lafayette carnival this year are distributed throughout the business streets of the city, a plan which, it is believed, will operate to the advantage of the thousands of visitors so confidently counted upon. It will be quite different, in moving from one place to another, to traverse cement side-walks and paved streets in preference to wading through the mud of the river bottoms. The date should never be forgotten, Sept. 23 to 28. Detective Silas Morgan of Logansport, came here last Friday and went to the home of Harry Biney, near Sharon, where he arrested a 15-year-old sori of a Mr. Day of Logansport, who two weeks before had ran away from home because of alleged ill treatment by his parents The valiant officer from the City of Bridges handcuffed the boy and also had leg shackles along to use if thought necessary for his protection, it is said, and, when makingthd*arrest, displayed a huge revolver to intimidate the lad. The Biney’s, who formerly resided at or near Logansport, and knew the boy there, say that he is not the desperate criminal the Logansport officer’s actions would indicate, but a peaceable lad who left home to avoid being abused.

A meeting was held by the Commercial Club Thursday evening to consider the proposition of a Chicago manufacturing concern which proposes to locate its factory here for a bonus of $15,000 in cash and two acres of ground. The proposition of the company was read and a committee composed of A. Leopold, C. D. Nowels and F. A. Ross appointed to go to Chicago and investigate, which it will do, and report probably next Wednesday evening. The company manufactures novelties, etc., and proposes to employ 75 people for the first six months, increasing to 200 probably in a short time. The location of such a concern here would undoubtedly give the city quite a rent estate boom, but SIS,(XX) is considerable money to raise for a town line Rensselaer.
