SUPPLEMENT TO The Jasper Courier J asper, Indiana, Friday, March 20, 1896.

The Democrats of Pike and Dubois counties do not seem to ''harmonize" on the question of Judge and Prosecutor. The Democrat contained a long editorial last week on 4 gag rule" which is a favorite democratic weapon. Tub Press predicted several months since that Dubois county would 'hog" things by taking both Judge and Prosecutor, which is exactly the program. Of course it is a fight that does not concern us; the district is democrat

ic anyway you take it and we are only interested in seeing fair play. Judge Ely was undoubtedly entitled to another term, for he has given universal satisfaction, and Traylor could have afforded to wait. There is no question as to Mr. Traylor's ability, but he has certainly shown lack of good taste and proper respect for a fellow member of the bar who had a right to expect fair treatment at his hands. Whatever the result may be it will cause much hard feeling in deratwratic ranks. Pe tersburg Press.

I We had a deep snow Sunday. I The St. John members of Birch Creek church will have a new horse

rack and barn in the near future. The Need mo re and the Lemington nines had an interesting game of base ball, Sunday. Score 7 to 8 in favor of Lemington. Mr. Tom McCain was in Otweli last Saturday. Mr. Louis Smith, our hop-a-ta-kick, still sings his old song, rock-a-bye-baby; he just knows a little of it, but I think he will learn the rest of it next week. Georgie Voelkel, the Boone beauty, is going to get him a wife in the near future. That's right, George, take her in. The Louis Brothers started their saw-mill last week. Mr. George Voelkel is the happiest man you ever taw. He says the reason is because it is a bouncing baby boy. Mr. Joe Bauer says he is going to see his best girl Saturday night. Albert Kirby says he don't like to fight with cats. He had a fight with one the other night, and tore his iant before he could get loose. He said it took him a long time to come to his self again. He said he was scared so bad all he knew was that the cat had a hold of his leg and the dog had a hold of the cat. We think Budy had better stay at home while there are so many "cats around. We wonder why evervbodv want

to get married these hard" times. Even P. A. B. is thinldne of takinr

him a dandy of Need mo re, but we

think f earl would do better not to get married yet, as time are too

hard, and we think we are the oldest and want a wife first. If anv

one knows or bears of any old maid or widow, please send them around, as this is leap year.
