COUNTY NEWS AND GOSSIP. e R ey, T EpiTor BANNER:— After having been absent from home for quite a while, actively circulating in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, to-day (Monday, Sept. 7,) finds us again at home among the Romanites. The results of our observations may be briefly summed up as follows: The wheat crop all along the route was extraor-

dinarily good; corn, oats, potatoes, etec., in North-western Ohio was never known to be better. In Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan corn and potatoes will be short, on account of the drouth, but in some localities of these sections even there will be a fair, average crop. | The peoplé here need have no fears of famine, forl our neighbors will ‘have ple?}ty and to spare. But throughout all this region the one thing needful is too scarce, and that is greenbacks. More currency we need, and more currency we must have. Otherwise, there will be a continual costiveness in business matters. :

Political affairs are very calm. Voters everywhere seem inclined to exercise the Gtod-given right of voting as they please. We find that here in Noble county' both -republican and democratic parties have decided upon making straight party nominations—both feeling certain of success—and we are justified in making the assertion that the fools are not all dead yet. IT the Grangers l}':x'\'e any pluck about them, and will move in -the matter and call a meeting of the people, they are very liable to scoop the whole pile. For who don’t know, and who is so blind he cannotl see plainly that it is only a scramble for the loaves and fishes: that old political hacks are only trying to keep alive old party prejudices for the purpose of sceuring the lion’s share of the spoils. But if the Grangers hold off and\do not put in an appearance and let the other two old enemies fight it out, then we say, “Lay on, McDuff, and cursed be he who first eries ‘hold, enough! ” or, in other words, every. fellow for himself and the d—l take the hindmost. The longest pole must knock the persimmons. -

The Magnet Woolen Mills are now doing well, getting out a good amount of cloth each day, which is being readily sold at réemunerative prices., These mills were in rather an unlealthy condition during the forepart of the season, caused by an overdose of Ellsworth, but having got entirely rid of that nuisance, they are now progressing in peace and harmony. The retired Superintendent is now en joying himself smoking by the day. ~ o J. C. Geisendorft & Co., are leveling the ground and preparing to erect several more ice-houses, which would indicate that the ice business of the last winter has proven guite profitable. . The new flouring mill now presents a fine appearance, and, under the supervision’of Dora Lane, will soon receive a new coat of paint. . 1t now becomes our painful duty to inform your readers of the doa't\h of Clark ITaughton, Esq., the gentlemanly | proprietor of the Lake Side House.. ITe died at a quarter past 12 o’clock last Sunday night, having been sick only two weeks with typhoid fever. ITe whs twenty-eight years of age, .’li perfect monument of liberality, gen-‘ erosity and honesty. No one knew Clark ITaughton but to love him. Ile: has left us i%l his youth and gone to that bourn from whence no traveler returns, loved, respected and regretted by all who knew him. The funeral 3(ook place on Monday afternoon, at 4 o’clock, under the direction of the Masonic fraternity, of which he was a member, and was attended by a large concourse of friends and acquaintances. Peace be to his ashes. The timbers are now upoun the grounds and preparations are being made to erect a new depot at this place. The long-looked-for time seems at last to have arrived. \ We learn that the editor of the BANNER was in town one day last week, but, not being at home, we were not permitted to behold his smilipg coun--tenance. Come again, J.B.- | | The tax-gatherer, Father McEwen, malkes his regular visits to our eity, not for the purpose of enforcing collectidns, as our citizens very generally pay up, but his object is to place himself under the special care of Deacon Highbargin of nights to guard the treasury. The Deacon is a trusty fel-. low to protect the funds. . The “unterrified” Democraey met here last Saturday Qveningd‘und appointed delegates to the county convention, to be held at Albion on the ‘l2th inst. Orange township is entitled to nineteen votes and instructed as follows: For Representative—O. D. Willett, of Kendallville; ' Sheriff— John R. Smith, Kendallville; Clerk— Jesse B.

Resolutions (viva@ voce) strongly endorsing the ticket to be nominated, pledging the last drop of blood to carry the -county, and cussing the damnigger. i S ALEXIS. | Lol e : -rThrough -a correspondence between Messrs. Straus Brothers and the General Freight Agent of the L. 8. & M. 8. R. R. the rate of freight on wheat has been reduced two cents per 100 Ibs., and we learn from our grain buyers that the farmers are receiving the full benefit of this reduction., It is further 'l{oped that the railroad company will establish the grading of wheat as recommended, ﬁhich' will bring large quantities of wheat in town as in former times when our streets were lined with wagons loaded l with wheat from “morning’till night.”

b "*——'Q*b_—-_‘—*"’ - We hope to see the time, and tlm‘% within a few years, when there will bé no more plank sidewalks in this city. They have been pronounced by such as are competent to judge, as very conducive to disease, and. espeeially so during the prevalence of cholera and many other epidemies. The moisture, the filth, the efluvia’ proceeding from dead rats, and decaying yegetable and animal matter generally, cannot but have an effect deleterious to the hLealth of the people in cities where they are in common' use.—LaPorte Chronicie. ; o

Tue carpet-baggers and Radical politicians are attempting to make much capital out of the recent disturbances inn the South, and are endeavoring to have the President order troops to some of the southern States. The negroes and carpet-baggers have brought these troubles upon themselves. We feel sorry for the blacks, because they have been made tools of by those designing white scoundrels—the carpetbaggers—who have only advanced their own interests, not caring anything for:the welfare of the black race. It would -be simply an act of justice and retribution if they could be punished instead of the poor unfoitunate colored men, who have been deluded by those scoundrels.— Vincennes ‘Sun. : ’ —le il P g % A NMonument to the Late Milton B. ‘ ¢ Hopkins. ’ The Howard County “Teachers’ Institute, at its session on the 2d inst., unanimously passed the following: Resolved, That we highly approve of the.recommex@dition of the teachers in attendance at the Institute of Switzerland county that measures be taken to erect a monument to the memory of our late State Superintendent of, Public Instruction, Hon.

To begin with the, seed did not come up and only about onefourth the usual number of plants were obtained. Then the dry weather greatly injured the small amount whiech did get a foothold. Now the Evansville Journal announces a third plague: “The tobacco worms are unusually bad this seasén. One farmer in Christian county, Ky., has to employ 13 hands tog clear the worms off 20 acres.” Gloomy tidings this for quids and pipes. The President should appoint a day of fasting and prayer.

A more judicious selection than that of Geo. Keechn conld not possibly be made. : Pnnn'\-. " SHERIFF. s Mz. Eprtor :—ln order to achieve victory in the coming election it will beecome_necessary for the Democratic-Liberal party of Noble coanty to place in nomination live, energletic, and active candidates. With this in view, I beg permission tosuggest the name of Panirr Keenw, of Perry twg, or the office of Sheriff. Asto quafiﬂcation for the office, he fills every recinire,ment,,' and asregards an active campaigner, all who know Dan. will at once admit that he will make'it *‘red hot” for any man who may be pitted against him by the Republicane. Give us Bsn. on the ticket, and success will be assured. S INVINOIBLE. : * FOR SHERIFF. Theimportance of nominating and electing none but the very best of men for %e various county offices cannot be overestimated. ~ Hence, I take pleasure in saying that Mr, N, P. Eagles, nf‘S{mm to‘w“h:f .ha}.consem.ed to become a candidate for She; ff, _lf nominated, he will doubsless be elected, in which case Noble connty will secure the services of a pure, honest, upright and eurable officer, T am satisfied that no better selection could pmnib]g‘b’e‘ made, i ok
