The President’s veto is very generally endorsed. —Remember that next Monday is the day for electing corporation officers. Every voter should exercise the right of suffrage on this occasion. —While in Kendallville, a few days since, we learned that most of the business men there cordially approve the President’s veto of the inflation bill. . —Quite a number of Sparta farmers who were in town last Saturday expressed themselves favorably to the removal of the seat of justice to Ligonier. 2 —J.

—“Spring time has come, gentle Annie,” and as the house-cleaning visitation is at hand, it is now perfectly legitimate for young ladies to send their little brothers and sisters to the printing office for “old papers to put in the cupboard!” ; —There seems to be some dissatisfaction on part of Mr. Fait’s friends because that gentleman was not elected delegate to the Syracuse convention. This mark of respect was considered due Mr. Fait by reason of his untiring efforts in the cause. —The Goshen Democrat urges the organization of a building association in that city. It is strange that our neighbors have not already moved in that direction. Building associations help a town wonderfully. If our Goshen friends wish to know something of their practical working, let a committee come to Ligonier and obtain the required information. » —An anonymous lady correspondent intimates that perhaps the editor of this paper might be induced to inaugurate a crusade in this place. We beg our unknown lady friend to dismiss that idea. However obligingly and accommodating we may feel disposed toward the fair w - strained to tell them that ~crusading” is not in our line. No, ladies; we most humbly beb to be excused,

LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. Nathaniel Acton, who lived about three miles nerth-east of this place, last Saturdav fell from a load of straw which he was bringing to town and broke his meck, Mr. Acton was subject to epileptic fits and.-it is supposed that he was taken with one of these at that time. - The deceased had been elected constablé of Wayne township at the last election and made a faithful officer. He was twenty-eight years of age and a good citizen. The funeral services, at the Disciple Church, on Sunday, were largely attended. Johny Eichart, who has been sick for some time, is dead. ; The Rev. Goodman in his discourse last Sunday stated that there were thirty thousand dollars paid out for ir'xtoxicatin? drinks in Kendallville during the last twelve months.

Old Mr. Tucker, who had been living at John Crone’s for some time, was buried last Sabbath. | Oc Helmer is resting very comfortably upon his new, easy chair. Herman Straus passed through this place, last Monday, on his way to Cincinnati, to attend the wedding of his nephew, J. Straus, jr. = | Saw-logs are being drawn by upon sleds as I write, but the snow is meltprapidly. . The motion to make the corporation license for selling intoxicating liquors by the.drink one hundred dollars was defeated at the last meeting of the council. A. B. Park and John Mitchell supported the motion and the balance of the council voted against it. Jackson Iddings, living north-west of this place, has large fields of wheat that look well, while pieces not more than eighty rods distant are nearly ruined. This proves to me that there is much in properly preparing and manuring the ground to have the crop withstand the winter. :

A Miss Mary Neal, whose father once owned 160 acres of land adjoining the late Jerome Sweet’s old farm, near which he was Kkilled, delivered two temperance lectures in this place last week. She dubs the saloons of the country “national altars” and believes that God overthrew slavery and will intemperance. She says Gen. ‘Grant is composeh of beef-steak, whisky and tobacco smoke. : i C. O. Myers will soon have the opportunity of agaijn reiterating his innocency and his wife’s criminality in the post office case, and it is the opinion of many that Uncle Sam will take care of him in a|penitentiary instead of a post office, s{pon. “Pink Wadsworth’s” special friend, C. 0. Myers, will soon take up his residence at Michigan City. “Them’s our sentiments.” = Mrs. Myers is out of town. The action of her husband may compel the authorities to _segﬁd for her. The residence of Robert Dykes’ parents, near Fort ﬁVayne, was burned with everything in it last Sunday.— The old' gentleman is about eighty years of age. j i L ¢ George Shine I;as purchased property on Main street and is fixing it up for a residence, | ' Adam Fehl k%aeps temperance time, and railroad time also. James Nellis’ sale of his Main street property proved a failure. A Dbrick-yard has been opened up just north of town. ‘ “Alexis’” Kendallville post 'office item of last week will cause him some trouble with “Ij,ole-'cat-." ~ The President’s veto is miainly satisfactory to the people of this city.— The query is, how did Grant know that that was right? ° - Flint, the man who /married Mrs. Andrews of this place last winter, was given thirty dellars, by his wife, on. condition that he would leave the country and néver retwrn. Ie has skedaddled. | XAVIER.

SUNNY? SIDE NOTES. ‘ We this week are called upon to record the death/of Unecle John Smith, of the Hatvpatch, an event which has been anticipated for the past six weeks. The suffering he endured is past description, but terrible as his misery was he remained perfectly rational until relieved by the icy hand of death which occurred on Tuesday evening of last week./ He had outlived man’s allotted time/having attained the ripe age of 79 ,yea/frs_. Deceased was born in Shenandoah/county, Virginia, December. 16th, 1794, from whence he emigrated wit{? his parents to Licking county, Oliio, in the year 1811, being then about seventeen years of age.— At the ng@lof twenty-one or two he married Mary Wilson, by whom he raised a Il‘arge family, four of whom, one dajghter (Mrys. Isaac Pancake) and thr}e gong, survive him. In the spring of 1852’he with his wife and three sons, Adam, Samuel and Wm. A.,'mo;zed to this county and located on the farm where he died. - In August of 1857 Uncle -John’s wife died and levft him alone, their children having all maried previous to that .time. In Fepruary, 1859, he married Catharine Francis, who still ‘survives him, The deceased was a worthy member of the Old School Baptist Church, with which he has been identified for forty years. ' During his protracted illness all t{nat a devoted wife and affectionate children could do for a beloved husband and tathér was done. Last Thursday his remains were followed by a large number of relatives and friends to the Salem Cemetery, where a very appropriate and impressive discourse was preached by Elder Z. ThEmas, from the twelfth and thirteenth verses of the fourteenth chapter of Revelations. Uncle John was an affectionate husband, a kind father, a dlever nel;ghbo“r and a good citizen. Barbara, eldest daughter of Robert and Caroline Fox, died last Thursday, having been for several years severely afflicted with spinal disease, which had rendered her a cripple. She was an unusually bright and intelligent child and fully realized that her time on earth was short. She often expressed a desire that she might recover, until a few days before her death, 1 ¥

when she became perfectly resigned to God’s will. Her remains were interred in the Ligonier Cemetery last Friday. The parents have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood in their sad bereavement. '

The remains of Hattie 8., wife of C. E. Penny, of Fort Wayne, and a daughter of Richard Billman, deceased, was brought to Wawaka to-day (Monday) and buried in the Springfield grave-yard, by the side of the graves of her parents. ; -~ . The prospect for a bountiful wheat crop in this néighborhood is not as flattering as it might be, although some chance fields look excellent.— That sown on clover sod is least damaged. But in passing from Poplar Corner (four miles north-east of us) west to Salem Chapel the prospect is very flattering. Last Saturday we traveled from Ligonier south to Indian Village. The wheat-fields in that direction' generally present a sorrowful appearance. A.H.S. . CROMWELL SPARKLES. The first Saturday in May will be the time for the Teachers’ Institute. ‘The teachers of the township are all expected to be promptly in attendance. We herewith append somewhat of a directory of our town. We havetwo dry goods houses, one drug store, one grocery and restaurant, two shoe shops, two blaksmith, carriage, wagon and paint shops, etc. We need a hardware store and one harness shop te complete the line of merchandising. .We haveé ¢syo M. Ds. and other professional and business enterprises too numerous to mention, and when the B. & 0. Railroad is completed we expect to enlarge. Isaiah Campbell has purchased alot of B. F. Messmore and intends building this summer. - o * Rev. Graham, the new Methodist minister,. preached his first sermon here last Sunday. : : The growing wheat in this vicinity looks very poor. The yield will probably not be more than half a crop. There is considerable sickness here, mostly among children. : N. P. Eagles is talked of for Representative. He is a good man and eminently fitted for the position. Let it be understood that we calculate upon a western man to occupy that stand in the coming contest. : We notice in the Ligonier locals that Daniel Keehn is talked of for Sheriff. Itshould be remembered that Dan is a good man and competent to fill the position, but he lives in Perry township and you know that Cromwell sends up the next sheriff.

G. W. Reed met with a sad accident last Monday. He had started to the country to get a load.of hay, and on the way his team became frightened and ran away! The wagon was upget and Mr. Reed dragged under it until hé could hold on no longer, when he dropped the lines. The team ran a short distance- when they struck a tree in the road, killing one of the horses instantly. Fortunately, Mr. R. escaped with but slight injury. : ‘ . DALE. : ROME CITY NEWS. With this number of the BANNER we will (for the present at least) throw up the sponge and cease our labors as local reporter for the City of Rome, trusting and hoping that some other local scribbler may at once seize the pen and wield it with greatér power and in a much more acceptable manner than it has been in my power to do.. When we commenced our labors, this part of the county was entirely destitute of local reports in the BANNER. We volunteered our services for an indefinite period to let the readers.of the BANNER know that there was' such a place in Noble county as Rome City and further that it is a manufacturing town, populated with an energetic and intelligent class of people who are entitled to respect from every quarter. We have from week to week given a faithful record of improvements, incidents, accidents, calamities, and amusements, &c., &c. These we have given without fear, favor or affection, assuming the entire responsibility thereof. We have been more regular in our reports and have continued for a greater length of time than we anticipated at the commencement. If we have been the means of doing any good, we aré amplv repaid for our labor. 'lf we have been the cause of any harm, it was an error of the head and not of the heart. We carefully avoided all personalities, as we have no friends to reward nor enemies to piinish. With these few explanations and apologies, we resy ectfully make our bow and politely aﬁd indefinitely retire from the columns of the BANNER.D = o 8 D ; :

J. Calvin Hall has returned from the East to greet his many friends at the I.ake Side. It is his intention, in conjunction with his brother, L. R. Hall, to proceed at once to put the Rome City Woolen Mills in motion. The lake steamer, Maple Leaf, has been put in thorough repair (except painting) and has been making daily trips up the lake since Tuesday of last week. - - The Teachers™ Institute met here last Saturday. It was kept so quiet that we did not find it out until it was over. Consequently we have no report. Hope they had an interesting time. . ; i c

We learn that the citizens of Ligonier are making gigantic efforts and really believe that they have some prospect of the location of the eapitol at that place. «+ They have thus far outstretched and distanced Kendallville in the race. They are commendable for their perseverance, but from this point it looks like their chances for the county seat were about equal to that of being struck by lightning. S. W. Dodge and Charley Holmes, of Lagrange, were 'in town on Saturday afternoon, took a pleasant excursion up the lake on the steamer, and amused themselves in fishing. Mr. Dodge is preparing to start a hotel in Lagrange, and Mr. Holmes we bélieve has some notion of taking an agency for a new and improved granger plow. Stephen Emery, of Ligonimsﬁgs in town a short time on Saturday. Steve’s hair begins to indicate the frosts of many winters, but his mind and body

are umimpaired and full of life and vigox, ‘ The young U. B. preacher delivered his first sermon here on Sunday night; a good congregation and a very fair sermon. : President. Grant’s action in vetoing the finance bill meets with universal condemnation among the Romanites. Business cannot be carried on successfully without currency, and no branch of business feels this moreforcibly than the manufacturing department. On Monday las Geo. Shuey caught a string of fish as long as a fence rail. The machinists from North Andover, Mass,, are busily engaged in putting on mule attachments to the jacks in the Magnet Woolen Mills. - A patent. butter maker from Brimfield visited our town on Monday last. He sells a compound from which a person can manufacture a pdund of butter from a pound of milk. : How is that for high? He churnedat the post office and gave the P. M. the butter. Dr. W. H. Nimmon, of Wawaka, was called in consultation with Doctor ‘Williams of this place to see a patient just north of town on Monday last. | The editor of the Wolcottville Regis} ter thinks it will probably be fortf years before he will remove his office to Rome. Well! well! If the Register should be alive at that time or even forty months from now, we will think of the question and “argy the pint.” John Repine can build locomotives. I. E. Knisely, Esq’,sold the traps and calamities belonging to the estate of G. W Geisendorft on the 24th inst.— Very low was thé price for which they were sold.

The first crusader made her appearance in town on Saturday last. Owing to some mistake of the advance advertiser, the Buckeye Broad Ax made his appearance here on Monday, and by the most earnpest solicitation‘of nearly the entire population, lectured in the M. E. Church on Monday evening to a crowded house. His lecture was interesting, pleasing and sentimental, and will no doubt be the means of doing much good. He thinks that “the year of Jubilee has come.”’ Temperance lectures by Mrs. Neal, Broad Ax (alias Rev. Chance) and the Chief Good Templar of the State were delivered here on Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, successively. The Good Templars Lodge (defunct) has been resurrected and will soon be in full blast. ' Another elegant snow storm on Monday night and Tuesday forenoon. Pretty rough for April 27th. “Winter lingers in the lap of summer.” : Wheat on sandy ground in this vicini-, ty looks fair, but on clay ground it is ausgespielt. _ In consequence of the little Grange in this place having died, been buried, and consigned to oblivion, we feel inclined to transpose the epitaph the darkey dedicated to Tom Paine and. inscribe it to its memory and say: ~ | Poor little Granger, here he lies, Nobody laughs and nobody cries! Where he is gone or how he fares, ' Nobody knows aund nobody cares. ' : : ALEXIS. —_—p e —————— —The Ligonier House changessproprietorship this week. ! Sam Wise retires and is succeeded by Mr. Frank Brown, an experienced and very accommodating land-lord. e —We are pleased to learn that Mr. E. D. Meagher has succeeded in purchasing an interest in the South Bend Tron Works. Ed. is on the high road to success in accumulating “filthy lucre.”

—The directors of the Noble County Agricultural Society met here last Friday and agreed upon a premfium list for the next Fair. =As some revisions are yet to be made, several weeks will elapse before the list is ready for publication. 1

—~Senator - Sarnighausen, of Fort Wayne, honored us with a pleasant call last Thursday evening. This was his first visit to Ligonier, and he expressed himself in flattering terms of the business-like appearance. of our town. Herb Fassett, of South Bend, also favored us with a visit at the same time. : :

—On Tuesday morning everybody’ was surprised to discover the landscape covered with several inches of snow, and more coming. = 'We apprehend those of our industrious néighbors who “made garden” before Easter were hot overjoyed at the sight, while all séemed to see but little to admire in “the beautiful snow.” From our exchanges we learn that the inhabitants of some ‘of the eastern States have also been visifed by a terrible snow storm, covering 'the ground in some places to the depth of three feet. —We are authorized to state that Prof. G. A. Ainsworth’s Hawpatch Class will probably repeat in this place, next week, the concert they gave at Salem two weeks ago. The concert at Salem was very largely attended and from all reports gave excellent satisfaction. Prof. Ainsworth 'is just in his element when at the head of a good class, and his concerts are rendered all the more attractive by reason of “sprinkling .in” a good deak of wholesome fun. We are assured that the concert next week will be among the best with which our town has been favored for many years. -
