Avilla Correspondence.

A few Words on Temperance—The Cold Snap— Representative Willett—Death of an old Citi-

- zen—Fire at Lisbon, &e., &e. i A gentleman, who appears with a communication in last week’s BANNER over the- initials of “W. K.” apparently endeavored to reply to a paragraph in my Jast local concerning the sentiment of the people in this part of the eounty on the liquor question. The gentleman referred to does. not attempt to deny that the supporters of the Baxter law, and more especially the non-license fee men, are considerably in the minority, not only in Noble county but throughout the State. What the writer alleged in his last local to the BANNER, concerning the sentiment of the people, saying that, the people were in favor of a license law with a fee attached thereto and opposed to what are the fragments of the Baxter law, is nothing but the truth, regardless of the sentiment of “W.K.” - The people are not going to change their séntiments because “W. K.” wants them to.. By no means. We live in a land where everybody is entitled to freely express his opinions on any subjecty regardless.of a few fanatics among us. : :

“W.EK.” does n’t want his children ‘educated with whisky money. Oh,no! But he has no objection to having the enormous national debt adjusted with the revenue arisin Qifrc)m intoxicating liquors to keep the wheels of this extravagant government running. S - He further-alleges that under the Baxter law the number of saloons is diminished, which is an entire falsehood; as s,tat;isfii_cs show that there are more saloons in tl*e State of Indiana than-ever before. | Why ? some might ask; Because every scalawag and irL\respon,sjble" person. can obtain license by simply having the majority of the legal voters in the township; ward, or;precinct:sign his petition. But by having a license law with a $lOO fee attached, as passed in the Indiana’ ITouse of Representatives, the scales will be'turned. = &

“W. X.” further asserts that none but saloon-keepers'and their customers are in favor of a fee license law, which is on insinuation upon ‘all true temiperance men. | The writer himself is in fayor of this law, but is Enei,th"er a saloon-keeper nor his ally. ' * The reason why. we favor the proposed new licenselaw, as do all othér. eonservative pe,opjle, is that under the Baxter law experiénce has fully dem- | onstrated the impracticability of this law; because instead of diminishing the sale of intoxicating liquors it has. tended to their increase. Witness the larger number of saloons than under the old Jaw. , And what'do the provisions of that law amount to? Nothing. The Supreme Court has declared the best provisions unconstitutional. The tendency of a law’ with a heavy fee attached thereto will decrease the number of places where intoxicating liquors are sold (because a good many have no funds with which to procure a license), and it will improve the character and respectability of those who are engaged in the traffic and protect them against the competition of irfesponsible ‘dealers, because from the Tatter c¢lass all the evils result through the traffic. -~ It will undoubtedly result in the exelusion of this class ‘from participating in the liquor traffic by having high license and heavy bonds; If the traffic is put under high license and heavy bonds. the responsible dealer can’t -compete with the anlicensed dealer and the consequence will be that the responsible .dealer will prosecute the irresponsible, while under the old law nobody takes inter--‘est sufficiently to prosecute the irresponsible dealer. | - “W/ XK further desires our Representative in the Legislature to.labor for the sentiment of the people. He has, and labored zealously for a’law with-a fee attached, and he will be vindicated by the. people.of Noble county for his brave action. Finally, I ask “W.K.” to remove from this cursefl country, \‘{'heré the liquor traf“fic is: fbolprated, where children are ed: ucated with money arising from the same, where the national debt is gradually diminished by the'immense revenue from intoxicating liquors; and would advise him to have Phil. Sheridan ordered here for the purpose of ‘exterminating every one who opposes the Baxter law. The writer of this, in conclusion, states that he knows *he cannot fully do justice to the sub“ject, but asserts that the numbet of voters in Noble county opposed to a, % high license law and in favor of a law with no fee, is not as great as the’ American party of Noble county. The’ severe weather for thé past week has proved disastrous to railroads; especially to the Grand Rapids & Indiana. No train has passed over the road since Thursday from the souflx,v except one freight, and none from the north since Wednesday noon. Nearly all the trains are north buried in the snow, and the snow drifts are _reported to be as high as a freight car. ‘Mails arrive irregularly. Postmaster Myers, of Kendallville, had the kindness to send the mail to this place by private coriveyance on Saturday, the | first ‘mail since “Wednesday. The B. & O, trains are faring much better, a 8 they were but slightly detained through the late storms. b ' ‘Tom Paine’s anniversary was duly ce,leb{éted Lere by the young men in the club room. = The president of the club presented them with a huge roasted turkey for the occasion. , - 'Squire Luke Clemens, of Green | township, contemplates removing to this town and living a retired life after the sale of his farm-- = . Since the recent fall of snow busi‘ness has revived considerably and the : tofififiptéfi‘eptg a lively appearance. - Agentleman who has just returned fr;;n Indianapolis reports that our Bgrmm tepresentative, H0n..0. D. Willett, hag wielded a wide influence, and that 'he attends strictly to his duties, and that a prominent citizen claimed that M, Willet is the best Ttapresentative

against him that he was a carpet-bag-ger, and that 'if he were elected he

would not represent the interests of Noble county. lam glad that his opponents have been disappointed, and Mr. - Willett stands a good chance of being re-elected to the position he so eminently fills. L Mr. John Miller, an old German resident of this township, and a member of the Catholic Church, died last week from cancer in the stonach.

~ Mrs. Baughman’s residence at Lisbon was destroyed by fire last Tuesday night. Insured for $4OO in the American, of Chicago. A suscription list is being ecirculated for the relief of the unfortunate widow, as nearly all her furniture and- clothing were destroyed. ' : A new cabinet shop is in operation under the management of Mr. Koons, of Lima. Also, a new jewelry store, kept by a Sturgis, Mich., gentleman. ; - i REPORTER.

Rome City News.

- The corner building now occupied by Rabey & Son as a drug store has lately changed hands—the owner, Mr. C. Schoenfield, having sold the same to Mr. Henry G. Cobbs, who proposes to give the building a thorough overhauling and then move thither his mammoth stock of dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, &c.. Mr. C. also proposes to let the people know by advertising what he has to sell. - Again our peoplé feel a little encouraged at the prospect of getting the Canada Southern railroad. Itis confidently believed thatif Rome City and Ligonier would both go earnestly to ‘work, this much desired object could be attained. One more survey on the ‘Rome City-Ligonier route would fetch her. : . il s

Mr. Benjamin Richardson, the presé\{t night-watch and assistant engineer at the Magnet Mills, has removed to jour town and taken up therein his permanent abode. Mr. R. comes recommended as an honest and industrious man, and we extend to him a hearty welcome. ; The Teachers’ Institute of Orange township meets at the school house in this place next Saturday. Mr. Johnson, our pr_ésent; and {'e\x‘y= éf’ficient} teacher, extends a general\ invitation to-our citizens and all those_interest- l ed in the cause of education to be present. WL i It isrumored that our former townsman, Mr. S. B. Helmer, who once so successfully run the Lake Side House, thinks seriously of returning here and assuming his old occupation, <.e., if satisfactory arrangements can be made .with all concerned therein.

Since'our last communication Janfes Winegar, Esq., of the “Goshen Woolen Mills,”’ has made our: town and the. “Magnet Mills™ a. very social visit.— Jim -is a genial cuss, and an experienced manufacturer. © And if we could only obtain consent fromthe. “man who built the Aubnrn Mills,” we: would venture the assertion that what Jim- Winegar doesn’t know about manufactufing domestic weolen goods is not worth finding.out. We are always glad when Jim comes around.— Hope he will call again soon. Having missed the smiling countenance of our esteemed friend, George Asher, for ‘some time past, we instituted an inquiry and were very sorry to léarn that he has been very sick for a long time. We hope that George may soon regain.his health and make his appearance in Rome City.

We have been told that a learned M. D. of Wolcottyille some time ‘ago made a very ‘fierce attack upon us through the columns of the Wolcottville Register. Not having been: able to procure a copy of the paper containing said article, we are yet in total ignorance as to its contents. If the learned Doctor will furnish us with a'copy of his production, we will endeavor to give it such . attehtion as its merits may seem to demand. :

Mr. Gibbs, the butcher, has a cross dog that is in the habit of chawing up those who visit the residence of Mr. G. Several persons have been badly dealt with by this savage animal, and all others should take warning and keep away; otherwise his master should keep him more safely egnfined.

It is said'that our little City- of about 400 inhabitants can boast of at least 25 musical instruments, to wit: pianos, organs, &c.” Who daré say that Rome City i$ not a musical town, and what town of the same size can beat ‘it in that line ? . o

The “Magnet Mills” have been still for a' few days past. Mr. Fisher is putting in seven more looms and by Monday next, if moderate weather prevails, the “Magnet” will be again in motion with 21° looms, playing to the tune of 4000 yards per week.

Sunny Side Notes.

Elders Wm. Mawhorter and John | Rendal of Springfield held divine ser--vices at our school house last Sat‘ur-T day evening. It had previously been announced that Elder Mawhorter would discourse on that occasion, but o\ging to a severe headache lie persuaded Elder Rendal to take thestand. A go)qdly | number were in attendance, and the best of order prevailed. The Parson took for a foundation for remarks the 14th verse of the 7th chapter of Revelations, dwelling more particularly, how-, ever, on the latter portion of the verse, “There are they which came out of great tribulation,” &e. After he had finished his discourse, Elder Mawhorter delivered a pertinent. exhortation. An appointment was left to meet again in three weeks.~ Last Sunday was surveyor Guthrie’s day to preach at the same place, but from some unknown cause hé was not present.— We surmise, though, the .roads being drifted so badly with snow was the eause of his absence. :

. It is-stated that Elder Dodge of Wawaka contemplates displaying his oratorical powers to the good people of Kansas soon. We are glad to hear it. Come along, Mat; we'll turn out en masse and show you that we understand what good order is and that we know how to treat a minister. ‘We were accused by “Fast Asleep” in last week’s BANNER, of misrepresenting the M. E. Church at Wawaka; which was far from our intentions, as we received our information of

the goodly feelings existing between the Dunkers and the Methodists, from prominent members of the latter Church, and not from the person whom “Fast Asleep” supposes. All'we said in regard to the M. E's. taking part with the Dunkers and making the effort their common cause, went to prove in our mind that all fanatical feelings had been laid aside and brotherly love reigned supreme between at least two religious denominations of the present age; which certainly was commendable. Butif such be not the case, as “Fast Asleep’s” article ‘seems to indicate, and if they have other than friendly feelings and good will for our Dunker friends, we cheerfullg'make the necessary retraction. : e | ~ As the Teachers Institute question is being agitated now-a-days we desire to say a word.. We have anything but a bad -feeling for the Institute, but certainly do think the teachers are unfairly dealt with. It seems that the old adage does hold good in this particular instance—as the rule applied to teachers does not work both ways, consequently it’s a very poor rule to compel teachers to attend Institutes without compensation, and on the other hand impose a forfeit of one day’s wages for non-attendance. On béhalfof the teachers we emphatically protest against any such a nonsensical law. There is not the least show of common sense connected with it; it is a glaring absurdity and should not be tolerated from this time henceforth and forever. . . it

Again we are called upon to record the death of our kind neighbor whe departed this life on the 12th instant —Mr. Henry Bitting; aged 74 years, 9 months and 8 days. Although Father Bitting was far advanced in life, he went around only‘a few days previous to his death doing his chores and attending to his worldly affairs. The funeral will be preached in the Chapel to-morrow by Elder Peter Winebrenner, and the remains will beinterred in the graveyard near by. George Fisher is lying very sick, and I was informed that there is but little hope of his recovery. Father Kitt, also, is quite feeble, having been confined to his bed quite a while. He is far advanced in life, as in a few more days he will be 84 years old—by far the oldest man in this township, and probably in the county. Correspondents, please give the name of the oldest man in your respective townships, and the age. | |
