V-An exchange says: Jails are Built out of honest men’s earnings. Courts are supported by peaceful men’s property. Penitentiaries are built by the toil of virtue. Crime never pays its own way. Vice has no head to work and no head to calculate. Its whole faculty is to corrupt and to waste, and good men directly or indirectly foot the bill. Milton Bushong, formerly of Barkley tp., is here this week. He is now employed by the wrought iron range people as collector, following up the salesmen, and says he has been with the campany since last May at a good salary. During the few days the range people were operating here and at Remington they sold 125 ranges in this county, Bushong says. The big public sale next Thursday of W. W. and E. S. Kenton, notice of which appears in another column, will probably exceed in value and quality of stock and farm implements any sale held in the county this year. The Kentons are good, progressive farmers and their stock is good and in excellent condition. We are sorry to see such people leave our county.

The township trustee of Monon tp., White county, has ordered all gambling machines removed from that township. He says it is not a personal matter with him, but that many of those who gamble away their earnings call on him for township aid, and he not only considers gambling unlawful, but a matter in which the taxpayers are financially interested, hence his determination to curtail it if possible.

An exchange observes that a boy can Bit on a sled six inches square, tied to a sleigh moving nine miles an hour, but can’t sit on a sofa five minutes for a dollar. A man can sit on an inch board and talk politics for three hours, put him in a comfortable church pew for forty minutes and he gets nervous, twists and goes to sleep. A man can pouch his cheek with tobacco and tho juice running down his chin feels good, but a hair in the butter simply knocks him out completely.
