—lt seems~to be pretty generally agreed that no party issties will be raiged in the election of township oflicbrs for Perry. A union caucus. will probably be called to make nominations regardless of polities. .

COUNTY NEWS AND GOSSIP. v R By . - Alairge concourse of people witnessed the’ event of pufting in the crossing on the B, P. & €. and the G. R. &1, Railways yesterday (Sunday.) The time occuipied in performing the same was 10 hours. To-day (Monday) the track-laying is progressing rapidly west of the Grand Rapids road, and it is the intention to have the track layed to Albion by the Ist of September. A one-half mile switch has also been completed at this station, east of the Grand Rapids road. The contract for erecting elevators with a capacity of ten thousand bushels of grain has been awarded to a gentleman from Auburn, who will proceed very shortly with the building of the elevator at this place. :

- There is a goed deal of hard feeling ‘existing among the farmers and residents west of town, on account of. a highway bridge across the railroad at the intersection of the east and west. and north and south roads.at.the former Randall school house. The railroad officials have determined to have but 'one bridge for both highways, while the people. near and far claim an over-crossing bridge for each road. As the railroad officials have promised to construct the bridge with the best of material and finish, the people will eventually be satisfied, although there are (i\lite a number at present comp]u‘h!ing bitterly. 'The company is havipg bridges erected at every highwaylcrossing. - An accident accurted in Swan townsllipJ'last_wégk..by— ‘which an old ir'n:m by the name of Adam Fulk lost his life. : The particulars of the same are | that Mr. Fulk w:isi engaged in hauling manure to a neighboring field, and 61'1 i'ehx[rﬂing, the horses became frightened and ran towards the barn. When the junfortunate man approached the horses, one of them kicked him on the head, thereby fracturing his skull and cemi‘ing instant death. Mr. Fulk was an 9ld_ resident of Noble county and possessed: considerable wealth. Ile: len\§es‘z’t large family, all of whom are’ advianced in life. .

Another person died somewhat mystoriiohsly in town last week, some claiming through accidental poisoning and others through cholera morbus, in the/ person of an old German lady who ‘has| resided- here at least 30 years, knq;wn to the people as Mary Ann, the' only name by which she ‘was known, her sur name not being known by %my body. A young mar by the name of Washingi*on Bonaberger, a resident of Allen’ township, died of eonsumption last week. :

Mr. Lake Ihrie, an old resident of Lisbon, has decided to remove toia more lively towy and concluded to be one of our citizens, and the citizens have about arrived at the conclusion to make.a Justice of the Peace of Mr. ]hrﬁe, to which position he is eminently qualified, having served as such for yeairs. The south part of the township being entitled to a justice (owing to thd death of Judge Ed. Randa]l) it is holbed ‘that Mu: Ihrie may be"ielei‘?tgd without opposition. . There .are bwo candidates for /Trustee mentioned, all in the north part of the township, viz: _;\[l’lr TFrank Baughman, a Democrat,and M. Whitford,a Republican. But the south part will have a candidate also, and I hear the name of Mi. Samuel Hdkc mentioned. Mr. Hoke is a highly “*steonu«l and respected ecitizen, a resident of Avilla and properly qualifiedl for the position. It is hoped that inu"ty prejudices willlbe laid aside in thé clection of loeal officers at the coming election, and men of undoubted integrity and qualifications chosen for the different offices. : o !

U nbounded entl usiasm is'manifestedjin favor of )ﬁ‘.;lﬂobert S. Haines, of the firm of Baum, Walter & Co.,and at present agent of the G. R. & I. R. R. at this station, for the oflice of county traasurer. Mr. Haines is a resident of Noble county and has resided in Allen township 33 years, and I know of no other person more eminently qualified for that position than he is. Imving‘bcm} eldeted to and served in the office of toswnship trustee 5 consecutive terms, usually by unprecedented majorities, is evidence that the people placed the utmost confidence in him, and many regrei at the present time that Mr. ITaines refused to take the office any longet.. Many Democrats have urgently requested him to accept the candidacy for county treasurer at the next Democratic-Liberal county convention. He having never offered himself as a candidate for any office, nor ever seeking any, of course could not answer positively in the affirmative, but believing in the good old doctrine that the office should seek the man and not the man the office, Mr. ITaines has resolved to serve his friends in the person of a candidate for county treasurer if they insist upon it. It is evident from what your correspondent has elicited, that the Democratic-Liberal convention can place no stronger eandidate on the ticket than Mr. Haines, and his name on the ticket would doubtless tend towards the triumphant election of the whole ticket., - It is hoped that the Democratic-Lil-eral convention which is to agsemble in Albioni ‘September 12¢h, will ‘adopt a platform that will tend towards harmonizing all thg opponents of the present corrupt administration, as there are many whe propose to affiliate with the opposition party and sever their connection with the ruling power. ‘ Avilla Lodge F. &. A.M. have removed into their new and commoylious hall in the Carver Block. It is as fine a hall as gan he foynd in the neighborhood.

-~ We had a very pleasant call from the Mayor and others of Connersyille last Monday ‘morning. -~ The Mayor seems to be a very intelligent, genial gentleman and must be quite popular al home, from the fact that he is a Democrat and was eleeted by quite a majority in a Republican city. £

" The Republicans of; Orarnige township met-at the old school-house in this place last Saturday evening and appointed delegates to the Kenda{lville convention, which ‘meéets on the 18th inst. . They go forth unin‘structed.

-Judge Clapps chances for the nomination on the 18th look éncouraging.a' } Summer complaints and potatg bu_'gsr,j still prevail to a considerabl¢ extent ‘in Rome, v Tt ‘ The Democratic Céntral Committee ‘have decided (as we understand) to! ‘hold their convention on the 12th of ‘September, but we are glad to learn they have been liberal enough to invite all Republicans, who are liberal enough to ‘vote their ticket to join with them. This looks to us a little cheeky, and so thin that it is transparent. . We will now wait patiently ! to see what course*the Republican Central Committee may adopt. If they, in their wisdom, should adopt the same course as that marked out by the Democracy, then look out for fun ahead, and if somebody is not. badly fooled over the result of this fall’s election, then we don’t want n’ penny. L b

We are intimidated to such an extent that we are almost afraid to say “people,” since the Kendallville Standard informs us that we “don’t own the people!” We never bought the: people and never professed to own fchem, but at the same time we are ucquainted with some of the pleoplg# and we know how they feel politically, and we can assure the Standard that they will be heard from at Albion during the latter partof September, or thereaboutss s g

Charles Law, Esq., of Orange townshii)_, wishes to b}s Land Appraiser.— 'Charley is a good man and would make a good oflicer if he comes up in the right way. : ~

“Xavier” raps “Dale” over the knuckles for being in favpr of Sam Ohlwine for Repfesentative. We admire Dale’s judgment, and are almost forced to say that we fear Xavier's political prejudices will not allow him to see but one side of the question.—— Sam Ohlwineis a good man and would be a noble Representative if left free to act according to the dictates of his own conscience and sound judgment. We learn that candidates are increasing at the hub. We have been informed that “Stone and Lash” will be before the demoeratic convention for office. 1t seems that when a man has been once afilicted with the court house disease he never fully recovers. luckleberry harvest is over. The flouring mill, remodeled, makes a fine appearance. i " The Magnet Wollen Mills are still running. o o An excursion train passed this way last Sunday. | : y “Milt Hanson”( Doc Gower’s Friday) has removed his drug store to South Milford. L » ALEXIS, KENDALLVILLE. ; - Senator Pratt is advertised to speak’ here in defense of the republican party, on Saturday afternoon, August 20th. Pratt is an able-bodied man, but not the most entertaining speaker in Toosierdom. T shall take pleasure in hearing him. L ~ The action of the Liberal-Democrat-ic Committee at Albion last Friday is gen'el_'a,lly approved here by the apponents of the dominant party. A new post-ofiice is-likely to be established half way between Avilla and Albion, on the B. & O. railroad. This will prove of great convenience to the people of that locality. -

Joe Morlan and' J. W. Bixler will be the leading candidates for circuit prosecutor before the convention which meets here on the 18th. There is some objection to Bixler, on the ground that he is not in reality a citizen of the county, he having for a number of years held and still holding a government position at Washington.

- Business affairs' must be in bad shape over at Lagrange. Reports are current that three failures have occurred there, to wit: . Mr. Brownell, J. R. Devor, and Alexander Bros.— Such financial disasters always have a damaging effect upon the community in which they occur. : s

A case of drowning is reported as having occurred in the lake near Fairfield, about nine miles northeast of this city. The unfortunate person who thus met a premature death is a gon of John Shimp, aged about 18 years. ' ¢

The defeat of Geo. C. Glatte as one of the congressional-delegates and the sybsequent reconsideration thereof has been the sybject of considerable discussion in politica) circlés. Jim {olgrove's speech regtified the “biunﬂnf%'e.’-’ but @latie willnoy soop fovget the shabby treatment Yestowed upon him. 1 haye some doubts as to Glatte acting as a delegate, e is certainly not in striet harmony with the repub-

lican party, though far from satisfied with the attitude of the Democracy. The -election of Judge Wildman as chairman and J im‘Zßunyan as secretary of the republican causus last’ Saturday shows that the anti-Ring men had a majority and could have had everything their own ,way but for the miserable management of their spokesmen. IHartsuck evidently needs a few lessons in elementary jpolitics,

Dr. Parker has: forx&arde’d his office furniture to Ft. Wayney where he has opened an oflice foa' the practice of medicine. Doc. has a host of friends here who will be glad to learn of his prosperity in the Summit eity. e will be greatly missed during the coming campaign. ,

~ “Passenger’s” revelation in last week’s BANNER was the topic of conversation all over the city. o

The name of A.C.F. Wichman is occasioﬁally,_ mentioned as a suitable person to'fill the office of sheriff, but I doubt his willingness to “stand.”. So far, Kendallville has but three candidates:. John R.Smith for Sheriff, O. D. Willet for Representative, and Henry Wakeman for Clerk. . ‘

| J. W. Learned will probably be nominated for Trustee -of Wayne towngip. - -

It seems to be gemerally conceded here that Bill Groh will receive the republican nomination for county treasHrer:: -

The blackberry harvest is still in force and the berries are, selling at a dime pér quart. - I : “We understand that the proprietor: of the newly laid out town was again, the other day, tendered his price for a couple of lots and refused sale.

We are not sure whether “Xavier” is more cpmpetent to determine for us than we are who shall be our choice for Representative in the coming contest.. We have been acquainted with the history ef the gentleman whom _weA have previeusly named through the columns of the BANNER as our choice for that position for at least twenty year's,, and, therefore, know of whom we speak. We further inform Mr. X. that Mr. Eagles does not set himself up as a candidate before the convention seeking a nomination for any oflice within the gift of the people, but should his friends see fit to give him the nomination he would :uzfz‘ept And let it be understood that we do not -want Mnu.

The citizens boast of having the cheek to ask a person for fifteen cents if it is coming to them, as times are so hard ‘it is almost, if not quite, impossible to collect money that is due you in this country. Wheat is coming into market rapidly. - It seems to be of good quality m}dﬂ"communds the modest. price of one dollar per bushel. - ‘While traveling in the north-western part of the county, I noticed a number of oréllzu'ds affected with, the same disease that the orchards of the West are suffering with. - The tree com-mences.-to wither at the ends of the branches and looks as though it ha(y been burned. : :

The funeral of Mr. George Deer (township trustee), last Friday, was largely attended, the Masons and the F. Bs. (a German association) forming the principal part of the procession.

A leetle brass band from the rural districts gave our citizens a serenade last Saturday. They came from the famous little village of “Lick Skillet,” in the south-east part of the county. They played three beautiful tunes. The first was, “O’er the Hill and Far Away;” the second, “Far Away and O’er the Iills,” and the third was the same thing,* = < .
