'KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. == ; Extensive preparations have been made by our republican neighbors to get out.a big:erowd to hear Gen. Harrison on Thursday.

J. C. Stoughton, a Liberal Republican of Illinois, is advertised for, a Tilden and Hendricks speech in this' place Thursday evening. '‘Mr. Stoughton is recommended as being an effective and’ eloquent speaker. For the benefit of the Standard man I will state that this J. C. Stoughton is not the S.J.

Judging from present appearances, a 'heap of scratching will be done in this township at the October election, Independent voting is w onderfully on the increase. i

The mangled remains of numberless innocent watermelons are to be seen along back alleys and out-of-the-way places, where the greedy urchins most do-congregate. % Our juvenile population will be deJighted with the information that school opens: here,fnext Monday, September 4. - : / It is about time now to sell outrand ‘2O West, so that you mav have ample opportunity to get dissatisfied with the country and get back and settled before frigid winter setsin. -

Those who pretend to know whereof they affirm, allege that there is a perceptible improvement in business affairs and money matters. Hope their observations are based upon facts, and that these annoying hard times may soon yvield to a period of prosperity. -The certainty of Tilden’s election to the Presidency will help maltters greatly. : . J. Wesley Bixler’s nomination for the oflice of Circuit Prosecutor does not challenge the admiration or arouse the ‘enthusiasm of our republican friends to an' alarming extent. . The lawyers generally, say it .is an “infernal imposition” to try to force an inexperienced youth from Washington upon the people, and th_ey express a determination to scoop him out with some man who can {ill the oflice with at least a moderate..degree of-ability. It is 2 mystery how some fashionable young men manage to get money to supply themselves with ten cent cigars, when they never earned an honest penny in all their ]ivés_. It now“looks.as if the'Drug Store was really getting the upper hand in the protracted fight with the TPost oflice. )

One is the saddest ‘l‘)'ow when contemplating thé wonders to be seen at, the centennial and remembers that he has no relatives in all thiat country round about the Quaker city. Squire.

We are neither a prophet nor:the son of a: prophet, but we prophesied some time ago that if Noble county went into the'republican judicial con-. vention with two candidates, they would come out fleeced. The convention came off at Waterloo last Saturday, and what was the result? “The last RosE of snmmer” was the lucky man. It was conceded (we thought)that the candidate belonged to Noble county, but two good men—Knisely and Chapin—were coolly laid aside, while DeKalb earried off the conventional prize. ' Now, it remaips to be seen what is in the future. We believe that we speak the sentiments of" all parties in this vicinity when we say that Judge Tousley is the man. ‘We. do. not know..what . course. ’t’,h'e,,# Democracy may take, but if they are as liberal as they were in the case of | John Baughman let them stand aloof and give Judge Tousley an open field, and the result is not uncertain. It is about time that politics were ignored in judicial - conventions, and if ‘our suggestions should be adopted when the votes are counted on election day it will be difficult to make Mr. Rose believe that he had been a candidate, the result will be so near unanimous against him. * Our sentiments are: Tousley first, Tousley last, and Tousley all theltime. ﬁ i We do not wish' to raise an issue with the editqr of THE BANNER, but if he will be kind enough to publish - the platform upon which Mr. Willet was elected two years ago, we will be satisfied.

1 believe that heretofore Sparta has, been untepresented in your loeal correspondence; hence, deeming it of importance that our community should be heard of in your columns, without further formality I make my bow. - Pérhaps there is not a:township in Noble county that can show' a better IO e s : § 5 record for the production of cereals than Sparta.

Our eflicient and. popular- {rustee, Mr. "John Earnhart, has contracted with Simeon Smith, Esq., for the erection of a brick school house at Pleasant Valley, at a cost of about $825. We dre bound not tobe behind our sister townships i educational ‘matters. ; e

! .Mr. Calbeek, the business man (as a stock breeder) of Noble county, is éver on the qui vire for promoting the interests of the locality iv: which he operates. He has been favorably known for a number "of years, as being connected with the stock: raising interests ‘of west Noble. Such men always make the money circulate, which fact in these hard times is worthy of commendation. I understand that Mr. C. has shipped "about $4,000 worth of cattle and a great number of hogs, during the past few weeks, to the eastern and western markets. Such men are a benefit to any community. His reputation as a wheat buyer is envied by persons in much more pretentious places than Sparta.

He seems to be: enjoying himself generally. bR i e James Baker, who was elected four yeéars ago for Td@vnship_Assessor, but was prohibited from serving by legis= lative enactment, is the almost unanimous choice of the people for that office this year.

- The republicans of our.township attended the -mass convention ‘ab the “hub,” on’Friday, the 18th inst., and, generally speaking, were well satisfied with the results. 4 Speaking of .conventions, it reminds us that on last Friday, the 25th inst., the unterrified democracy (_pﬁrdon the expression) - held thefr delegate convention, and put in-ﬁqminntion avery good ticket.
