An examination of the latest Issue of the American Newspaper Directory, the recognized authority on circulation ratings of newspapors In the United States and Canada, reveals the faotthat in Indiana THE JASPER COUNTY DEMOCRAT haaa higher circulation rating than la accorded to any other paper In Jasper County.

The republican slogan, the last campaign was the full dinner pail, in the next campaign no doubt the full baby carriage will be th e cry.

On Saturday last, General Nelson A. Miles having reached the age limit, 64 years, retired from his position of general commanding the army, and General Samuel B. M. Young was appointed to succeed him. This appointment is regarded by General Miles’ friends as a marked evidence of the vindictiveness of Sec-, retary of War Root and the antipathy in which General Miles was held by the President. It was the intention of Congress to confer on Miles the honor of be--1 ing the last officer to fill this place, the new staff law, which goes into effect August 15, abolishing the position. General Young is absent from Washington and will not return until the 15th, and no harm would have been done by leaving General Miles’ former position vacant until the new law went into effect but the discrepancy of dates gave Secretary Root an opportunity to rob the retiring General of this slight honor and he promptly availed himself of it.

Ex-Representative Reser of Lafayette submits a few discursive remarks in tbe Lafayette Times that contribute immensely to the gayety of the republican campaign.?-[He declares that J. Frank Hanly has acted very badly toward D. Edward Storms by entering the gubernatorial race and thus lessening Mr. Storm’s chances for renomination for secretary of state. “By every courtesy and every right,” says Mr. Reser, “Mr. Storms was entitled to the consideration of his party hereabouts, and he would have been given this consideration absolutely had it not been for the selfishness of Mr. there is certain to be a division in the ranks of the republicans here. Some of them, many of them, will feel that Mr. Storms is entitled to their undivided support and naturally Mr. Hanly will have some following. Tippecanoe county will go into the convention with another divided delegation, and with the very likely result that it will lose both places. Do not be fooled about Tippecanoe county being a unit in support of J. Frank Hanly for governor. There may be no open opposition to him, but there are many leading republicans hereabouts, especially in the city, who will do but little to advance hie candidacy. Mr. Hanly has been very selfish in politics, he ; has thought of himself first upon [ all occasions, and then if there , was anything left or anything v that he did not want, he had no ! objection to his friends making a I fight for it”

Suppose that during the proposed K. of P. carnival here, some man was driving along the street, or attempting to drive through between the stands,, show tents, etc., with bis family, and his team should become frightened, run away and kill some member of the family. Who would have to settle the bill? Why, the city would be liable for damages and it could not get out of paying a big sum for such loss of life or any other damages sustained by any person by reason of allowing illegal obstructions on the Streets. The city could not plead ignorance of the presence of the obstructions, for the city council has—illegally or without any legal authority—granted permission for the obstructions to be so placed. This wonld be no Nowels cow deal if such a thing were to ocour, and it is a matter in which every citizen of Rensselaer is interested in.

THIS SMACKS OF BLUE-BIRDS.

Assistant Postmaster-General Wynne recently decided that the receipts of the Rocky Mountain (N. O.) postoffice had increased sufficiently to warrant its advance into the presidential class, and consequently Postmaster George Washington Robbm was notified that he would be continued in service at $2,100 a year, and was asked to send in to the department the names of four persons to be appointed to the newly-created subordinate positions under him. When his letter of recommendation was received it read in part as follows: “I, George Washington Robbin, postmaster at Rocky Mountain, N. C., recommend the following persons for appointment under me: “As assistant postmaster, Stella Lincoln Robbin. “As stamper, Alexander Achilles Robbin. “As assistant stamper, George Washington Robbin, Jr. “As clerk, John A. Logan Robbin.” When Superintendent Waters, of the salary and allowance division, had recovered from his astonishment over the suggestion with regard to the future of the Robbin family, he wrote across the face of the letter: “When the Robbins nest again. Birds or hogs?” and sent the papers to Mr. Wynne. The first assistant perpetrated the following below Mr. Waters’ indorsement: We will call a halt on Robbin of thia place in old N. C„ As we hav e already elsewhere In the festive P. O. D. This Robbin has the right, no doubt, to fix bis family. But to fix them all in the same old nest is too much H. 0.6. N. B.— See section e, civil service regulations. R. J. Wynne. Robbin, Sr., was notified that only one member of his family could be appointed.

The Democrat, SI.OO per year. SOME GOOD COLLECTORS. ’Tisone thing to make a sale and another thing to get your money. But we have in this country at present a troupe that came originally from Texas that are now all over Indiana, Illinois and various other states, that are the best organized and most successful band of collectors that ever hit the road. So far they have never lost one single account, no matter how bad or of how long standing. They are always sure of their pay. A polite “call again” never is accepted by them. They will deal with any one; they never ask for rating nor Dunn or Bradstreet’s report, but work like beavers, collecting as they go, never ceasing until their season is over. They do the work and you pay the bill always. It is the “Texas horned fly.” He is the fellow that lights in groups all over your cow when you milk her. Looks like a house fly, works night and day and costs you from 5 to 10 cents every 24 hours on each cow and horse. He bleeds your cow and calf and horse, and you pay the spot cash and he deducts the price out of your butter and milk or flesh, bloed and energy of your horse or steer. He makes you swear and thresh your cow with a club or milk pail. Sprague’s Fly Bouncer will cost you one-fourth to one-half cent per day to advoid these good collectors.

Southarn Fruit and Vegetable Growing. The fertile lands along the Louisville & Nashville R. R. in Alabama. West Florida and Mississippi are veritable bonanzas for the fruit grower and truck gardner. One man sold from one single acre, too barrels of radishes for $900.00, gross; another patch of 4 acres radishes yielded $1,465.00 net. In the spring of 1902, another truck gardner sold 300 barrels of potatoes in Pittsburgh from 3 acres of ground for $1,548, and after paying all expenses, cleared $892.00, or s2o7.tz per acre. Within two weeks after selling his potatoes, corn was up and watermelon vines were running on the same land. He harvested his corn, sold his melons, and. afterwards cut two j crops of hay off of the same land; and on January 20, 1903, was planting it again in potatoes. Strawberries yield from S3OO 00 to $550.00 per acre; as high as 12.4&) quarts of luscious berries have been grown on a single acre. Address G. A.
