— As the season for planting potatoes is not far distant, and farmers and others are beginning tolook about for the best varieffies for seed, we reproduce- the following extract from a communication, by Aaron Miller, in the South Bend Z'itbune : “Having had some e'xper'iencé'i;n growing potatoes, 1 woullt recommend for late ones a new variety called Brownell’s Beauty.

- —About two months ago we published the weather prognosticatious Of Hon. D. S. Scott, of this place, and das a reminder of t;xe remarkable verification of his predictions thus far, we reproduce them.. They were as follows; “During Décember, it will be fine weather throughout; January “will berather ‘;mdrg stormy, yet fine winter weather; the first few days of February will be rather rough,-then | there will be more pleaénnt weather, ‘and the latter portion of the month “will be as pleasant as the first half.” ‘ Notwithstanding there was some snow flying in the air yesterday,accompanied by a rather keen breeze, we have not “the least doubt that-the predictions of Mr, Scobt -will be verified in the future as they have been in the past and that his reputation as a’weather prophed will be permanently established. - —Under the caption, “Pyt lim ‘Down,” -an exchange indulges in wreflections that are worthy of extensive dissemination: " There is a feeling of ijealousy that seems to be innate in some natures. There are many per-! sdns who can neither look with pleasure nor approbation on the suecessful -accomplishments of their neighbars, _and if by honest worth one struggle to aohiéve’au unblemished reputation, there are many anxious and ready to pick flaws 1/5n his personal character and blﬁxess relations, their motives being prompted by no reasonable prejudice, but being rather impelled by their, indrdinate selfishness und envy.

The new hydraulic power, which was built here last fall, was “the cause of the -overflow, not having sufficient embahk_ments to hold | the water. The city authorities have had a large gang of men at work protecting the new channel bridge, and ‘Mr. Lane, owner of the 'water-pbwer, had a force at work nearly all night and to-day, trying to check the overflowing waters fand destruction of property, Mr. Lane’s individual loss will exceed $l,OOO. At the present writing the rivers are gradually rising. The heavy rains on Tuesday night and Wednesday, it is feared, will do much damage. The rivers and creeks are overflowed, and fences in the river bottoms are completely covered with water and hidden from sight. = The streams have risen six inches since 7 o'clock this morning, and are still gn t:ixe rise.

| SHALL WE INCORPOBATE? At last the good denizens of this ‘ancient village have arisen %o take steps to incorporate it. At'a meeting held some two weeks ago for the purpose of éliciting an expression on the; subject of incorporation, it was discovered that the principal property‘holdexs and largest tax payers favored the project. ~The territory proposed to be incorporated has’been surveyed and found to contain about 400 acres, “A census has also been taken, but the ‘result has not been made publie. = It is supposed, however, that about 105 male inhabitants over 21 years of age. reside in the territory. As’can be expected, there are some hostile to the project, and some who are quite mod‘erate tax-payers are laboring zealous- | 1y to prevent incoi‘poration. For instaxice;,_, one individual arghes that his tax,=én property valued at about $6OO, would amount to $45.00. That would ‘be at the rate of $7.50 on the $lOO.OO valuation. Of course, that would be horrible.. But as'it is impossible for an éxtravagant board of trustees to levy any larger tax:than the law of the State allows, it is use-' less to dwell upon the absurdity of such a position. It is the duty of ev-| ery person, especially of the poorer classes, to assist' those who pay high taxes (the wealthier classes) i:_i improvirixg their tO\\rrn, in the way of repairing streets, sidewalks, ete., and | no good citiZen ought to refuse to do | 80. Those vivid pictures about the ‘ horrors of itaxation, paintéd by some, -are all moonshine compared with the benefits‘to be derived from the improvements that would .surely, lie made were we to becomie incorporated. Citizens of Avilla, you reside | in one of the oldest towns in the county; will you, dare you, stab this beneficial project in the heart by stepping up to the polls, at the appointed time, and by your vote saying: “I don’t want this town improved; I can walk in the mud as I have done heretofore; 1 don’t care if there are riots, or if men ficht and do many other things that ‘are grossly immoral, I havve no two or three dollars te throw away annually, I have better.-use for my money.” Dare you step ‘ap and ‘say that®~ I think not.. Not whenall the business’ jnen in town !favor- the project—men whose .taxés aré ten times greater than .yours. Yet if you oppose the | project, you must candidly admit that you say all this; But I have too much faith in the good sense of -the people of this, the muddiest town in the county, to doubt that they will aid a project in Ufb interest of civilization and progression.

. ASTO CONGRESSIONAL ASPIRANTS, Noticing the statément in a recent issue of THE BANNER' concerning the candidates for congressional honors in this District, I see the name of }?re(}inzm'Kélley, the democratic caftdidate of the lagst campaign.. Now, Mr. Kelley may be a candidate;. nobody:can object to that, but the wishes of the humble voter should also be consulted, and should 'heé, or they, not desire his candidacy he should withdraw. . It is a well-known fact that Mr. Baker was very unpopular in his own party, and when' the District which .was ecalculated to give 2,000 majority for the republican party only gave 400 majority:for that party, it is indeed surprising to see Mr. Baker elected in spite of lis unpopularity. This fact should convince everybody that Mr. Kelley is not wanted, even: though a Democrat might be preferred to.a Republican. Wehaye thrown our vote away once on Mr, Kelley and don’t propose to d,b: it again, and we, therefore-ask for a candidate- who can beat Baker at the next election. Such -4 man, we can assure the public, resides among us and has; filled a position of trust in our county for a number of years. We shall not mention the name of the candidate we have in view, as it would not be judicious to do.so at this early day. At any rate, let'the humble voter have something to say about:who shall,be a eandidate, in conjunction with Doliticians and editors, besides doing the voting.

i Benth 4t Son Ihsnies U Wilen, It becomes our painful duty to announce the death of Hon. Thomas H. Wilson, one of the oldest, best'and ‘most highly esteeméd citizens of Noble county. Mr. Wilson was born in ‘Bucks eounty, Pa., Feb. 20, 1797. |At about the age ot twelve years his parents moved witli their family to Ohio, settling near Chillicothe, and afterwards in Champaign eounty, where, amidst the scenes and privations incident to a then new and almost uninhabited county, with no advantages of an education save the instructions given by lis father at the fireside, he grew to manhood. | - Possessing more than ordinary physical’ ability, with excellent judgment and never-‘ﬂagging_l perseverence, he was well adapted to frontier life, and what: he undertook to do he did promptly and well. e cleared up two farms, one for his fad ther and one for himself, almost sin-gle-handea and alone. =~ On the 14th of August, 1821 he married Miss Mary ’Weal. of the same county, and with her lived on his farm there until Sep-. tember, 1836, when with his family he removed into Sparta township, this county, and in October, 1845, to Washington township, “where he¢ resided until the time of his death, which occurred on the 7th inst., and ‘at which date lie lacked only thirteen days of being ip years of age. - . Fully realizing the value of education, Mr. Wilsdn improved eyery opportunity to’ acquire -useful ihformation himself and was ever foremost in his neighborhood to establish and maintain goed sehools.for the educa-. tion of his own and his neighbor’s children. He always felt a great interest in the prosperitfy of his county and State, but never sought their offices. And yet during the first twelve years of his life in Indiana he was al-, most constantly holding some office of trust, either of the county o¥ State. Af first he served as a justice of the peade, | then county commissioner, then as'a judge of the probate court, ahd lastly, he'served two consecutive terms in the State Legislature.. lle was a man of liberal views and generous impulses, faithful and true in his friendships, and was greatly loved and respected by all 'with whom he associated. IHe lived an 'eminently christian life for over forty-three years and died in the full triumph of a living faith. lis christian life and integrity were above suspicion. THe 1 was successful in business and provided well for all-of his' children, and ‘ left a fine estate at his death. During Lis fong life he wus never sued | for debt, never executed a mortgage,f nor turned the poor hungry or desti- | tute from his door. His long wedded life, of nearly fifty years, was ‘:never 1 sullied by a harsh or unkind word. He leavés an amiable and loved wife, one daughter (Mrs. L. B. Eagles), and six sons, all of éylmm, together with an . esteemed brother from Galesburg, 111., were in attendance at his death-bed. Truly a-good man has fallen, = - L

TAXATION OF (HURCH PROPERTY.— The State Auditor has received from Auditor Hague, of DeKalb county, a communication in which the latter makes some pm:ti‘ﬁent inquiries rela tive to the taxation of church property under certain contingencies. lis letter of inquiry is as follows: . : 1 “As the question has been raised by the presentation of a letter from the Catholic bishop in regard to the taxation of the pastoral residence of the priest, I desire answers to a few questions, that I may know from them how to act in the premises; = ~ “1. Is a pastoral residence o parson age used for the residence of the minister or priest but owned by the church and situated on the same piat of land, exempt from.taxation?~ e _ -“2, If the residence is.in the same plat of land, but on different lots, is it taxable ? iox { ¢

“3. If the church and residence, or parsonage, are separated by a street or alley, is the residence or pargonage then taxable? - . e .

“4, Are the household goods used in the residence or parsonage of thepriest, but owned by the church, exempt from taxation ?” 1 In reference to these several inquiries Auditor Henderson has returned an -afiirmative answer, save in the tihird instance, in which he holds that the property is not exempt from taxation.’ o ;

. Rational Medication.

- Medication is only successful when it is rational, and it is rational only when it begins at the beginning. In other words, to cure’ & malady, its cause must be removed. Weakness, either general or local, is the origin of the great majority of diseases.— Reinforce the vital energies, regulate digestion and secretion, by strength ening the organs which perform those all-important functions, and dyspepsia, constipagion, kidney and bladder complaints, uterine difliculties, impure circulation, and the thousand and one ailments which are thé consequences of debility, are completely, and ‘in; most cases permanently, removed, ' The best, safest,and most agreeable tonic and alterative that can; be employed for this purpose is Hostetter’s Stomach - Bitters. The experience of twenty-five years, during which time it has outlived perhaps ten times that number ephemeral preparations which have entered into competition ‘with it, has proved it to be »unequaleﬂ as a remedy for all disorders accompanied by or proceeding from weakness. ; L 41-w4, .

Fusseiman on Pork and Beans. ! (Stark County Ledger.)

Pork and beans are the clieapest things for people to live on these hard times. ; Roast beans and .pork -was quite a choice dish in old times; and we think it is not a bad dish new.— Beans are something that stick well to the ribs, and make as healthy a diet as anything that can be put on the table. Beans here in the West are now very cheap, and why they are not mare generally used seems to be somewhat strange, yet it is very seldom that you see athhizg of the kind on the tables of the common people.’ Let those who have never ‘used beans, ‘cook a mess every other day through the week and see if they ‘are not eat with as much relish as anything else they may have on the table. Children in partidx]zw'fxre always fond of them, therefore, tliey are the most economical zlrji;}e of food that can be used by those who have large families these hard times." ¢ ; . e ; . Remember This. o - Now is the time of the year for Pneumonia, Lung Fever, Coughs, Colds, and fatal results of predisposition to Consumption and other Throat and, Lung Diseases. Boschee’s Germdn Syrup has been used in this neighborhood for the past two or three years without a single failure to cure. If ‘you have not used this medicine yourselfj go to your Druggists, Scott & Sandrock; and ask themof its wonderful success ‘among their eustomers. Two doses will relieve the worst case. If you haveno faith in any medicine, just buy a Sample Bottle of Boschee’s German Syrup for 10 cents-and try it, regular size Bottle 75 cents. Don’t neglect acough or a cold to save 75 cents. .
