Considering the inclemency of the weather, the attendance was quite large.— The presents of wooden ware and furniture were numerous and in several ix,lstan("ca unique. It is not probable that the Huffman household will, at least for several years, need any additional articles in that line. The!social features of the occasion were of the most pleasing character, all the participants indicating by their beaming countenances that it was good tobe there, % ' M s e

COUNTY NEWS AND GOSSIP. - © ROME CITY. S . .Levi Parks, of this place, who has ‘been intimately acquainted with, if not in partnership with the weathermaker for the last thirty-five years, gives notice that we are to have twen-ty-eight. genuine snows this winter, including the present enormous one, Now, we protest. If we are to have twenty-seven more Snows, and, like the present, it takes four or five days to-get one down, it will be late in the spring with an almost continuous snow-storm before they all get down. We are in for a compromise; we don’t want too much of the “beautiful snow.”

Thanksgiving in our city wag observed by masticating turkeys, geese, ducks, ete., without number. No religious Thanksgiving services were held' at any of the churches. The people hereabouts have begun to think that “National Thanksgiving” means only a day of feasting, frolic and fun; a respite from labor and more than a usual amount of good things to eat, and an extra amount of enjoyment of every kind. S

. The new church bell at Wolcottville is a decided success. Tt can be heard here in Rome as distinctly as our own, beloved, favorité’" school-house bell. Last Sunday morning, although the weather was cloudy and it was snowing some, it was distinetly ‘heard calling the children to Sabbath-school. Such a bell is an ‘ornament to the church and a credit'to the citizeéns of the town. ' ' L :

Another business man has vacated our town. ; Mr. Craft, the man who kept the restaurant; and, as the boys say, had nothing‘ to eat, has left and gone to other parts to seek his fortune. Mr. Craft came here, no one knows from whenee, and attempted to do business without a sign or an. advertisement, the result of which would of course be a failure. ' If men expect to do Lusitiess, they mustlet people know it, by advertising or otherwise. If a man makes 1o effort' on his’ part to do business, he cannot reasonably ‘expeet anything but failure. < . Still another meat market hias been started in our town. 11. G.

Cobbs, has opened up an extensive meat maiket at the Qld Hulsingerfistu'n(},v where they keep a choice variety of- fresh meats and (1}‘935(3(1 fowls, und sells the same at moderate prices. My, Cobbs seems determined to buy everything the. farmers have to sell and keep evérything for sale that a consumer needs. Such business men are a bless- i ing to any community. “Long may they wave.”" : : : 1 - Little George Asher, who lives near } Hogback, in Lagrange county; enjoyed Thanksgiving in Rome, in company with his better-half, on Thursday. George stands six feet, six ineches, inhis boots. Tle is doubtless the tallest man, and perhaps the cleverest, in Lagrange county. After feasting on turkey and other luxuries at the Lake Side House, the happy couple repaired to the Magnet Mills, where they purchased quite an amount -of woolen 2oods to be donated to the graéshop-per-ridden people of Minnesota before departing for home, not forgetting to tell us to send liim the BANNER.

i KENDALLVILLE. ~ After a silence of some weeks, I again appear before the readers of the BANNER in order to satisfy the frequent inquiries at each issue of the same —What has become of Vindex? Well, here I am, searcely knowing ~what to write about. Tosay anything about the weather—the readers know how it is themselves, particularly the young folks. They consider it delicious; z@t least I judge so from the many merry countenances seen passing my office in bob-sleds and cutters, and attracting attention by the merry jingle of the sleigh-bells as they glide over the snow—the “beautiful snow.” Our city has borne a lively appearance for the last few days. Main street was crowded with people, and, f from what I could judge, trade was_" good—all owing to the good sleighing. From present indications, however, this will be of short duration, as the weather is very mild and the snow is doomed. v

Thanksgiving came off here in accordance with the proclamations of Grant and Hendricks. Some of those who love to “trip the light fantastic” improved the opportunity by arranging a dancing party in the evening at Mitchell Hall, where a pleasant time was had, as I understand,

. This week the Methodist Fair and baby show is coming off in their §plendid new church, for the benefit of the sane. : v

- Some two weeks ago a very young couple entered the bonds of matrimony in Lagrange county. The bridegroom is only seventy-seven, and the blushing bride some five or six years younger. Sic. : P Samuel Alvord, of the Era, was in the city on' Thanksgiving, for the purpose of ascertaining of our Reprgsentative, Ifon. O. D. Willett, the modus, operandi for splitting up this. county so as to place Kendallville in the center in order to give us the countyiseat. Mr. Willett could, however, give him no infolgmation on the subject until lie had consulted Judge Tousely’s map.

Speaking of making Kenddllville the county seat has f)ut into my head a plan which would fetch it; a plan that would not only please the people residing in Kendallville, but every Republican in 'tlle count{y. | As the Republicans will for the next two years try very hard to solve the problem, how to make this a republican county, I can tell them how to do it very easily. It is by consolidating the counties of Steuben, Lagrange and DeKalb with Noble.: This plan would not only make the new county republican, but would ' place’ Kendallville near enough the center to be entitled to the county seat. This plan is not patented, and the Republicans "o‘f‘t,l,le counties mentioned have the privilege to adopt it, thereby solving a vexed problem. : ‘ The American Insurance Company, of Chieago, has come to terms and adjusted the loss of Mrs. D. Childs of this city, a case whicli I noticed some time since fhrough the columns of the BANNER, and which, together with the ventilation received at the hands of the Standard, has had quite an effect upon the company-and shows the power of the press. T understand the adjusting agent complained considerably about my article. Next Monday Congress will ré@ume its session. Thank God for the blessing! : :

The candidates for ‘Senatorial hon-ors-in this State are getting thicker every day. While I speak of this subject, I must not'forget to mention that the editor of the BANNER has been named for that: position by.the Indianapolis Journal. What a pity it does not come from the other side of the house. By'the way, friend Stoll, why don’t you come out as a candidate and make the race? [Now, Vindex, we emphatically protest. If you value our friendship,” don’t mention candidate to us, at least for several years to come.—EDITOR.] - A little three-year-old son of Peter Schwartz died very suddenly of diptheria and was buried last Sunday. I understand three more of his children are afflicted with that disease. _ Another fire occurred last Wednesday night in the northern portion of out city. A small dwelling was destroyed by the elements. o

Adam Schmidt had his leg broken last Sunday while in the act of putting a barrel of cider in his cellar. Dr. Gilbert adjusted the broken bone, and I understand the patient is doing well. | .

I notice the Inflationists are very busy with their pet scheme, the greenback swindle, - The so-called “Independents” of this State seem to be all of that -stripe, and I anticipate some mischief in the next Legislature from that source. VINDEX. » ELKHART TOWNSHIP, EplTor BANNER :(—The weather for some time past has been very dreaty! Mr. Meriman is now teaching the Springfield ‘school. . He isa fine gentleman and, we think, will teach a progressive term of school. . ‘Our friend, Gabriel Miller, has sold his property in Springfield, but we hope he is not going to leave us. We.notice the old man Simeon is preparing a fine fish trap just above the little island. But, Simeon, you will be compelled to get a doublegeared lock for it, because the Springfielders get mighty fish hungry during the fish season. . i

About four hundred persons were in attendance. . G " SUN ‘TIDE.

' Our New Bridge. The new bridge over the Elkhart river at this point is completed, the work of erection—amidst an almost ceaseless storm — having been done within the remarkably short space of six days. The dimensions of the bridge are: 86 feet in length, the roadway 16 feet in the clear, and the sidewalk a trifle over 5 feet in the clear. It is constructed on the low truss plan, of .very heavy and best quality of piné lumber, and spans the river from abutment to abutment. Curvature in the centre, about seven inches. It -is in every sense of the word a first-class ‘bridge, and does infinite honor to its ‘builders, the Smith Bridge Company of Toledo, as well as to the good judgment of our county commissioners in making their selection and awarding ‘the contract to experienced builders. ‘The cost of the bridge is only 8770, that of the abutments about $5OO, making the total expense $1,270. This is certainly cheap enough. Several hundred dollars were saved the county by our Town Marshal in procuring the “fill” on either side of the abutments from ordinary roadwork sour—j ces. e |

We cannot close this article without bestowing a proper tribute to the tact, energy and perseverance of Marshal Braden. From the beginning to the end he applied himself assiduously to the consummation of this work of “internal improvement.” Storm or no storm, he was determined that the work be pushed to a speedy completion. ‘ln addition, to this he also procured the laying down of 200 feet of sidewalk . from the north end of the bridge to the depot. so that pedestrians are now ehabled to reach the railroad without being obliged to step upon a single foot of muddy lroa,d's. :

Reo porter.] Hundreds of invalids have been rescued from premature graves by the skill of Dr. V. Clarence Price. He has for a long series of years made visits to a number of cities in this State, always promptly on the day advertised. '+ His success has been such as to demonstrate his skill in treating chronic diseases, and while numbers of pretenders to medical science have made a few visits, making great pretentions and as great failureé. he alone has continued regularly his visits, and grown steadily in public favor., The reason is plain. He is an honest, honorable and educated practitioner, as his success in the treatment of chronic complaints abundantly proves. Drs. Price and Brewer will »visit Ligonier, at the Ligonier House, during Thursday, the 24th of December. The afflicted should not let this opportunity pass. - ?
