His son will go in with him.” It is understood that Mr. Flemming'will assume charge of the hotel on the first of next month.

LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONA : ROME CITY ITEMS. The time is rolling around when the sovereigns will be called upon to select township, cdunty and State officers for coming time, and there is no use: of trying to disguise the fact that old political issues are dead, and parties exist only in name, and a few demagogues only are trying to keep alive old political prejudices, solely for the sake of the offices ‘which underlie pretended principle. There seems to be no further use for old political prejudices to exist. ILet every man who ‘is a candidate for the suffrages of-the people be tried‘)by the old Jeffersonian land mark, to wit: “Is he honest ; is he capable?”’ 1 n view of this state of factg, we would suggest that the so-called Republican and Democratic Central Commiittees of Noble county meet together and equally divide all the ofiicers to be elected at the coming October election, and after'so doing let the two committeés jointly call a People’s Mass Convention and nominate a ticket of sound, honest men to fill said offices—both original parties being pledged to éul)l)(@‘b;;ﬁiul abide by the decision of said convention. If there ever was a time when genuine reform was called for, surely now is the time, and we can imaginé no reason why. it may not as well commence in Noble county as c_lsi;'\\'}g(‘r(*. We malke this suggestion believing that it will result in mucl good and hoping that the voters of the coun{_\' may give it their serious attention, The people are the sovereigns and have the undisputed right to. rule. . Political parties: are remnants of tyranny whose di¢tates no free man is bound to obey.. Antisecretism is an imbecile humbug, fed and nurtured only by prejudice, jealousy, and fanaticism. Our readers can have a remote idea of the magnitute of the old Rome City Woolen Tactory which waslately destroyed by fire, when we; inform them that -about one thousaid dollars worth of old irons were gathered up from the ruiifs and sold at a cent and a quarter per pound. - Rome City was represented on the grand jury the present term of court by - William Dixon, Esq. . We have not been able to learn whether the Squire done any good or not, and being informed that he was sworn not to tell, we will not ask him. o The Tlall Brothers have decided to leave our toivn and locate in Indianapolis. Romre City’s loss will be Indianapolis’ gain. They will leave here with the hearty good will of the entire ecommunity. May syecess attend them where e’er they go.». : A - The Wolcottville Register,says that “there were four editors in Rome City in one day and that there was not an item apiece for them.” Pshaw! Now, Jimmy, -you jist take that Vack. If you had examined their heads closely; you would have discovered more than that many local items in each one of them—l have no doubt. Call on us next time you come and we will show ‘em: to you. _ Several large pike and bass have beén caught in the lake lately. One weighing nineteen ana a quarter pounds was caught by Mr. Potter. # Shad and blue-gills are reckoned only by the hundred or bushel.’ :

We are glad that “Lake Side” has again 1‘@'.9’11111’0(1 his ripple in the Standard. “Variety is the spice of'life.” Several young bloods from Kendallville were Lere on Sunday last.. They brought their own supplies with them and quartered in-a boat-house on the lake shore during the day. TFrom indications they felt much happier on their departure fl'Oll]:t(!)\‘_Vl,l than they probably did on Monday morning.-— These fast young men have evidently, forgotten the impressions of early Sunday-School training, -

- We are informed that we have a local preacher in town qow, 'lle evidently don’t circulate much., We ha‘ve neither learned his name nQi' hisrelig01‘13 proclivities. o :

Aside from a big dande to he given at the Lake Side ITouse on the evening of the’sd of July, Rome City will not celebrate the coming “¥ourth.” - Another stoty is to be added to the Rome City Flouring Mills. Berry & Andrews are still rising in the world. ~ The magnificent showers during the past week have caused all kinds of vegetation to shoot forth in’ double quick. . e | If . . Kessler of Brimfield should chance to meet that fellow who reported that he was agoing to “grind corn by wind,” somebody would probably get hurt. T.ook out, Mr. “Xavier.”

Dr, Gard of Wawaka paid our town, a flying visita few days ago. The doctor has been giving the finishing touch to his profession and is now a No. 1 physician as well as a very genial gentleman. Call again, doctor. Doctor W. H. Nimmon of Wawaka visited our town a few days ago. We noticed him in consultation with some of our physicians. We suppose the good of the afflicted was the topic.— Doctor Nimmon is perhaps the oldest practitioner in the county, and is now and ever has been very successful -in his practice. e is said to be much more deeply concerned about the re covery of his patients than heis about wearing fine clothes, putting on style, and specially collecting an enormous doctor bill. The doctor’s hoary locks begin to show age and hard service. A pic-nic from Fort Wayne visited our town on Saturday. = : Botato bugs and town gossip are very abundant. ’

Frank Lamb hauls such fearfully large loads of wood that one of his horses has got his back up. : Our pictg‘re wagon has rolled away. Cabbage 'plants are scarce, and the “Duteh” are fearful that kraut harvest will not come this year. = : Thelake steamer has not sailed much lately. ; : Truesdale has got to be a genuine boat builder. Orders from a distance will be promptly attended to. | Our old barber, Geo. Shuey, is located at Lima, in Lagrange county. Shumwa talks of starting a meat market here, . o Butter makers are grumbling because butter is only 18 and 20 cents per pound, ' ALEXis.

-KENDALLVILEE LOCALS. . Sam Alvord has become a chronic -old fault-finder. Nothing seems to suit him. He 'sees connivance in everything, and his whining suits Pole-cat Myers very much; so much so that one would think that he and Pele-cat were in collusion to injure Democrats and the democratic party of this county. Sam furnishes considerable matter for the Standard each week, which is generally of a personal character concerning some of his political associates. [NoTE:— Let’ the cur bark! He is harmless for either good or evil.] E. Bundy has been dppaointed guard at the Northern State prison.,. ‘Mrs. Susan Duncan, aged 72 years, died at the residence of Mr. Ransom, her'son-in-law, last Saturday evening. ler remains were taken to Burr Oak, Michigan, for interment. % The dogs are killinﬁ sheep in Allen toﬂngﬂ;ip. . i ' The lightning® killed a steer for Commissioner Imes one day last week. The work on the Methodist Church of this place has ga'grain been resumed. When completed, it will be decidedly the finest building of the kind in this part of the State. 1t is said-that the crusaders of this place have raised, $6OO to prosecute violations of the Baxter law. " Wbool is eoming in ghite lively. Candidates for the various county oftices to be filled at the fall election are coming to the surface quite numerqusly. I'hardly dare say anything furthér-about them ()\\'jﬁg" to Sam Alvord’s chronie fault-finding. Parties from the State of New York came on here last week and attached some gbods which they claimed had been fraudulently obtained by one Jefferson Kelly. Dept. Sheriff Smith invoiced the goods, = ' o - It is said that 11.. 11. Johnson signed Myers’ petition in consideration of the promise of an office, and it is further reported that Sayler was immediately notified not to recommend him, and he replied that jhe would not. “Oh consistency, thou art a jewel.” ’ * Almost nine out of every ten Republicans of this vicinity are expecting an office, which, of course, makes them unreliable and inconsistent, and if any of that party denounce corruption and erime they are reported as disorganizers. - : “Alexis” says that C. O, Myers was up there looking after the interests of the republican party. This needs no comment. lle is working to get an order upon the county treasury for another six hundred ollars, and if he should get his candidate for treasurer elected he may possibly succeed. P. C. Isbell is soliciting money and labor to improve the street leading to the new cemetery grounds. Any one wishing to contribute, work or money, for that worthy object should see Mr. Isbell.

: ’l.‘he swimming-hole in Bixler Lake is visited by almost every one during this hot weather. There is alon g,'pickerel-shzu)egl boat upon Bixler Lake that skims thie water with lightning speed. - Our school closed last Friday. There was quite an interest exhibited Dby many of the scholars to get a high percentage on the final -examinations, which took place last week. Emma Brown received ninety-six,the highest. Prof. Bachelder, with most of his assistants, will remain and teach during the coming year. Kendallyille was full of lawyers last Monday on their way to Albion. o When shall our county convention be called?, " Let the committeemen of the different townships, or anyone else who is interested, address Dr. Parker, Chairman of the Central Committee, at Kendallyville, upon the subject. : . : XAVIER.

Business lively; improvements are increasing; potato pateches a little buggy; town kept cheerful by the cornet band ; Uncle Billy Waterson'’s chickens are still disappearing. ~ When public clamor is gt par, the best thing that can possibly' be done, is to keep your ears open and mouth shut. » iy : - When a young man about of age expects 1)1‘0111111911@0 by riding his horse on g single plunk,?laid down for sidewalk, he is badly mistaken. If thisis repeated, he will héar more; Campaign truck does need watering, I wish I lived in Whitley, I would throw my influence with Joe Guzzle, Jerry Bloodsoe, Peter McGowen dnd Buckeye Broadaxe; and especially with Wilford Ivanhoe, all of the State of Indiana. e .There is some intim”at‘%n' of our old stave factory trying to regain its lost reputation. This is good news. The factory being the largest in the county, situated near the centre of a well timbered country and kept in order by honorable men, would not only re: flect credit upon the owner, but also upon our town and vicinity. The factory north of us is a}lso,becoming useful. : .

' Our schools are and have been running smoothly and quietly since the jealousy of all parties concerned has been adjusted and explaiﬁed.ﬁ But we observe that there are yet some who have no capacity within themselves, who can live only upon the reputation of others, who are feaiful of support, and who will s 0 maliciously disturb the peace and.quiet of any village in this respect to gratify selfishness, and thereby cheat a portion of thosé little ones out of what God intended they should have. It’s mean, to say the least of it. No man’s judgment of right is perfeét. But when a man ‘has made a judgment ‘of right, in a given case, there is something in him which affirms that he ought to do what he judges to be right. In some men the sense of right is strong; in others weak; yet every man has Some. sense of right; every man feels that there is a right and wrong in conduect: Now, it is reason which judges as to what right is, and it is the province of conscience to urge the doing of what the judgment affirms to be right, and all that is necessary to secure peace and plenty to all is to climb the ladder on your own merits. If they are deserving you will gain; if not; you will have no remorse of conscience and will be a credit to your brethten. - = Mot oo

COLUMBIA CITY ITEMS. The weather for the past week or two has been very warm. The dry weather has effected the cherrie‘s,and apples considerably. : -Last Wednesday the neighborhood five miles north-west of this place was visited by a severe wind and rain storm, with a sprinkling of hail. |1 was informed that the wind blew with such force that it broke trees off close to the ground, and fences were blown down to & great extent.. . ; - The “Silenes” do not mind being beaten by the “Crusaders,” but think the joke carried a little too far when they must “set up” hash for several “dead beats” who accompanied the “Crusaders.” It was most too transparent. I guess Charlie Miller had a bet with Bill. Kegg and they wanted to see the whole - business. The “Silenes” will return the game before long. Do your betting! 2 - The Dramatic Company played “Flies in the Web.” Rumor says they came very near leaving them in the weh, as they got semewhat confused.
