Palmer of Monticello, was elected president of the Indiana Bar Association which held its annual meeting at Indianapolis this week. All parties indebted to the Stoner & Day Milling Co., will confer a favor by calling and settling at once, as they are now in great need of their money. Stoner & Day. W. H. Eger and son Harry, returned Monday from days visit at Valparaiso. Master Clarence Griswold, Mrs. Eger’B nephew, accompanied them home for a short visit.

The wheat crop in those counties of Indiana where wheat growing is mode a specialty is reported good and in many instances excellent. Thousands of bushels of potatoes have been shipped from Floyd and other southern counties to the north. A patron of a newspaper once said, “Mr. Printer, how is it you never call on me for pay for your paper?’’ “Oh!” said the man of types, “we never ask a gentleman for money. ’ “Indeed!” the patron replied. “How do you manage to get along when he don’t pay?” “Why,” said the type-sticker, “after a certain time we conclude he is not a gentleman, and we ask him.” Frank Duvall came out from Alleutowu, 111., Thursday of last week to look after the Duvall farm near Sharon, returning home Friday. He says they had it terribly wet in his locality daring June, rain falling almost every day. The big hurricane that recently passed through Illinois blew a big shed down on their farm and turned his brother’s house completely over, but the inmates were uninjured and made their escape through a window. democratic joint-represen-tative Convention for the counties of Jasper and Lake will be held at Hammond, Saturday, July 26, at 2 p. m. The delegates from this connty are: Albert Bouk and James Smith of Walker; Frank P. Myer and U. M. Baughman of Rensselaer; T. M. Callahan of Newland; Ellis Jones of Remington; J. R. Hnzen of Jordan, and George H. Maines of Marion.) The delegates from this vicinity will go upon the9:ss a. m., train.

The hay crop is reported of excellent quality and abundant in quantity. Haying and oats harvest is coming at the same time, | and will keep the farmers very busy for the next few weeks. Owing to the continued wet weather much of the corn that otherwise would have been plowed again will be left to go without the plowing. Considering the extreme amount of rain that has fallen, corn is very free from weeds, and it is fortunate that it it so. Treasy Worden, who had been very, sick for the past few weeks, died at her home in the southwest part of town last Thursday night, aged about To years, She leaves four children, George and Matthew Worden of Remington, and John and Maggie of Rensselaer. P’The funerai, was held Sunday afternoon from St. Augustine’s Catholic church, and was largely attended. Interment was made in Weston cemetery, where her husband was buried many years ago. 1. ncle Henry Fisher came tip from Jennings county la9t Friday and was shaking hands with old friends here. He said the crop prospects were good in Jennings, they having had just about the right amount of rain. Mr. Fisher says his health is much hotter in Jennings county, and he is certainly looking exceedingly well, and is several pounds heavier than when lie left here. He went to Hammond Saturday to visit his son Janies, a few days, but expected to stop off here agaia on his way home. Contrary to the predictions of the weather bureau; July 4th was a pleasant day, with no rain. Rensselaer was practically deserted, most of our people celebrating out of town. Lowell got the largest number of Rensselaer people, no less than 277 tickets being sold for that point. Parr, Kniman and Dunn’s Bridge also got a few from here, while several went to Mt. Ayr. Altogether 477 tickets were sold by Agent Beam for various points on the 4th. The 'day was particularly free from accidents in this vicinity.

A Bargain:—An almost new two-story frame, six room residence, corner lot, easy terms. Baughman & William, Attys. We can furnish The Democrat and Indianapolis Daily Sentinel each a full year for only $3.20. If you want a good democratic daily, call in and subscribe. 1 The inability of farmers to get into their wheat and rye fields with binders, on account of wet weather, has created a great call for the old-fashioned hand cradle, and the demand for them has been almost impossible to meet. Four “box-car tourists,” who have been about town for several days, were gathered in a few nights ago, on suspicion of being concerned in the numerous “burglaries” here recently, but as nothing could be proved against them they were turned loose and ordered to get out of town, which they did. y*Rev. Peter Hinds, who formerly resided in Miiroy tp., this county, is now located at Shelbyville. Peter moved to Jennings county, about three years ago, it will be remembered, - finally selling out there and moving to Tennessee. His son is still living in the latter state, but Peter again returned to Hoosierdom. A Marion tp., tax-payer says that some of the township schoolhouse yards are being pastured, and besides eating the grass the stock has run over and ruined the shade recently set out at township expense. He wishes to know whether the township receives the rental from the pasture or'if it is a free donation by the trustee for political support. Otto Grebasch, A. Rosenbaum’s bartender, got his right hand quite badly burned the night of July 4. He held a sky-rocket in one hand and touched it off with a match in the other. The stream of fire that followed burned him quite severely. He did not give the wound the proper attention at once, and for several days he had a very bad hand. It is getting better now. T. M. Hibler came out from Joliet, 111., last Friday to look after his big farm in Miiroy tp. Joliet had a big flood about three weeks ago in which three lives were lost and thousands of dollars damage done, but the recent rains had'not done much harm in that immediate vicinity. Mr. Hibler found things much better at his farm here than he had expected, dhe rain not having damaged him to any large extent. The printer of this paper is of the opinion that his life is too short to go once a week to the tto.e and stand on his toes, rub his hands and smile at the proprietor and humbly inquire if he want’s any advertisment this week. The proprietor of the store does not come to our place and want to know if we want any socks. Perhaps we think just as much of our dignity as he does of his.—Fowler lender. Except on the low ground, where the water stood for several days, the damage from the big rain was not so great in this vicinity as first supposed. While there will be thousands of acres of land in Jasper county that will not produce anything at all this year, and some farmers have had all their crops ruined, with favorable wentlur the balance of the season there will still be n great deal of corn and oats harvested in the central and southern part of the county.

THE IRISH PHILOSOPHER.

Wh en succissgits starthed your way iverybody wants to help push it along. A Hall iv Fame’s th’ place where th’ names iv th’ most famous men is painted, like th’ side iv a bar-rn where a little boy writes th’ name iv th’ little girl he loves. In a week or two he goes back and rubs it out. I don't think it makes any difference wan way or th’ other how free ye make idjacation. Men that wants it’ll have it be hook an’ be crook, an’ thim that don’t ra-ally want it niver will get it. Ye can lade a man up to th’university, but ye can’t make him think. Opportunity knocks at iviry man’s dure wanst. On some men’s duree it hammers till it breaks down th’ dure an’ .thin it goes in an’ wakes him up if he's asleep, an’ aftherward it wurrks f’r him as a night watchman. On other men’s dures it knocks an' runs away; an’ on th’ dures iv some men it knocks, an’ whin they come out it hits thim over th’ head with an axe. But iviry wan has an opporehunity. So yiz had better kape your eye skinned and nab it befor’ it shlips by an’ is lost foriver.

GOOD WORDS.

The Muncie Star, which by the way is a rattling good sheet, has an editorial upon the purpose of the newspaper which is worth reading. Among other things it says : The best way to interpret the policy of a newspaper is to read it and form conclusion from what it actually snys. A real newspaper stands for principle *and prints the news. It furthers the ambition of no man nor set of men. but fearlessly advocates those measures which it feels will benefit the people. It criticises without any desire to be offensive. It holds that certain rights are sacred and cannot be violated with impunity. It fells that intelligent readers will base their conclusions on actual facts as they are proven to bo. publicity IS A SAFEGUARD TO AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS. Error cannot be corrected by being laughed at. The newspaper that willingly and knowingly deceives and misleads the public is a vehicle of much mischief. The real newspaper often for the time estranges friends by telling the truth as it understands it or by advocating an opposite view on public questions. A newspaper to be of valVio must be run to benefit the people not simply to suit their views. Newspaper publicity is a valuable factor in assisting to make the administration of both public and private affairs honest. Individuals may not be pleased with what a newspaper snys, but if it be true, a fault may be corrected. Without such open publicity the people might go to sleep and injustice flourish like rag weeds. Some people will do things secretly that they would not do openly—in the darkness of night, that they would not do in the brightness of clear day. The public should not be swayed by anything wrongly stated; neither should they condone a wrong or an olfense against justice. To countenance flagrant wrongs is but to temporize with the devil. He who winks at lawlessness of high or low degree countenances vicious actions adds to the Bum of immorality and would probably engage himself in the evils he thus approves.
