Such a meeting would in all probability be very largely attended. —Samuel . R.

- —An exchange remarks that the practiee of carrying deadly weapons by men and boys is becoming too prevalent. There should be a stop to such doings. There are boys from the age of 14 to 16 years that constantly carry these weapons, firing promiscuously on the streets after night when returning from divine service. When the parents of these boys are compelled to see their children brought before a court of justice and incarcerated in: prison for such conduct, they will then wish they had Kept & mote watehful eye over them. ' — As quite a number of young folks of this place contemplate entering the matrimonial harbor during the next few months, we rise to remark that the facilities of Tt BANNER office i‘for executing elegant wedding cards on short notice are unsurpassed in this part of the State..

Myers has been re-appoint-ed Postmaster at Kendallville, after a protracted struggle. o Wi —Another much-needed shower poured down on this place last Tuesday. We can stand still a little more, —A Pennsylvania exchange would have us believe that “a York county chicken, crowed when four days old.” We couldn’t be induced to believe that except upon the sworn sfatement of the best citizen to be found in “little York.” :

—lt has been suggested that, in view of the immense wheat crop with which the farmers of this locality have been blessed, arrapgements ought to be made for an old-fashioned “harvest home” at an early day. What say you, Messrs, Farmers? . —South Bend was visited by a whirlwind on Tuesday afternoon. It had the appearance of a heavy column of smoke or dust, and ereated great consternation among the excited people. About 20 square feet of roofing was lifted off one of the Oliver Plow Works’ buildings. ' ' S

—ln speaking of Mr. Marker’s heavy yield of wheat, the Auburn Republican remarks: “That farm in llawpatch is- worth more than Studebaker’s claim in the Black Hills. By reports it would seem that nothing is impossible for the farmers to accomplish in the Hawpatch. We wish that ‘Patch’ covered a portion of DeKalb county.”

—The wheat market hashad a downward tendency during the past few days, doubtless owing to the immense receipts. that have been pouring into eastern markets from every direction. This decline was generally predicted four or five weeks ago, but:-a good many ridiculed the infimation that wheat would fall below a dollar and a quarter. These persons will now discover their error.

~—Dr. R. M. Knox, of Roann, Wabash county, in remittipg a greenback to extend his subscr‘;%tion, writes: “THE BANNER is the only paper I feel able to take, and I am bound to have it ‘if it takes the last cow in the barnyard.’” Certainly; a man of discerning judgment can get along much ‘easier without a cow than to dispense ‘with the weekly visits of THeg BANNER. g

—The farmers south of Ligonier say they are satisfied with 30 bushels of wheat to the acre, and that they are willing to admit the Hawpatch to be ahead this year; but this is not always to be the case. Next year the difference may not be so great. And when it comes to raising corn the South promises to be-way ahead of the North. Go in, boys; rivalry leads to better farming. : ; : —That blunder in regard to the space occupied by those stumps in John L. Cavin’s famous wheat field convinces us more thoroughly than ever that mistakes will happen, not only in every well-regulated family but even in THE BANNER sanctum. With becoming candor we readily acknowledge the corn; we are not mean enough to try to put the blame on the much abused “intelligent compositor.” . o

—The Auburn Republican claims to “have understood” that Billy Williams’ “financial adventures at' Washington were not suceessful, and he will be compelled to begin again at the bottom of the ladder. The trouble is our Billy is too honest to get rich at Washington,” If “our Billy” should chance to read this paragraph he would pronounce the latter sentence decidedly the best joke ever perpetrated on him. ; ; ;

—The Auburn Courier says: “Mr. Hartsuck, of Kendallville, late Moral Instructor of the Northern Prison, is a much disgusted individual. He received his appointment through a democratic commissioner, but the new republican board politely informed Mr. H. that he must step down and out and give place to their favorite. Mr. Hartsuck is a well known bugler for the republican party, and as he was esteemed qualified for the position while the appointee is considered unfit for the place, there must be something rotten in that quarter. And ‘Bro. Hartsuck gnaweth a file.” —The following;, from the Lagrange Standard, is respeotfully submitted to the consideration of Ligonier congregations: The churches at South Bend have very sensibly concluded to hold their weekly prayer-meetings upon the same evening. They do thisto econo-~ mize the time of those disposed to attend, thereby giving them all the remaining sécular evenings for other causes of general interest. There are frequently public enterprises which demand the attention of prayer-meet-ing going people, but it is. found difficult to find an evening suitable for all. ‘This church, and that, and that ehurch, have a prayer-meeting on the different evenings desired. Let all the churches in cities and towns unite and agree on an evening 1n the week, and then leave their members free all the other evenings. i ; o

—The contract for building the opera house at Goshen has been awarded to Crane, Duncan & Co., the gentlemen who built our magnificent graded school-house. . The Goshen 7'imes, in speaking of the letting of the contract, says: “They have given bonds in the sum of $2,000 to have the opera house completed by ihe 20th of December next. These gentlemen are considered first-class builders, and have had a large experience on various public buildings throughout Northern Indiaua. They buils the fine jail at Auburn, DeKalb county, and latterly the magnificent new school house at Ligonier, than which a finer nor better constructed building cannot be found.

That would interfere with the third term programme of the Baker faction.

—The Premium Lists for the Elkhart county Agricultural Fair arenow ready for distribution. The Society would be glad to place these in the hands of Noble county farmers. I.ists will be mailed to any address by applying to John W. Irwin, Secretary, Goshen, Ind. G o

—Luther Benson, in explanation of his failure to appear in this place last Friday, writes to Pha. Humphrey that he had notified Mr. Hersh of his inability to lécturein this place at that time, but that Mr. H. failed to pass the word. Benson promises to deliver two lectures in this place in three or four weeks, and pledges his word that there shall be no disappointment. - —We say it with due deliberation that no town in Northern Indiana has a brighter opportunity for commanding an extensive trade than Ligonier. The immense wheat receipts of the past ten days amply corroborate this assertion. But in order to reap this harvest, business men must waken up to the importance of showing “snap,” vim, enterprise, energy. Old fogy ways of doing things won’t answer.— Infuse new life into trade, gentlemen, by letting your light shine. A large number of farmers from Lagrange, Elkhart, Kosciusko and Whitley counties are hauling their wheat to this market,” not through any efforts on part of our business men to attract their attention hither, but on account of the prestige which this place enjoys of old as a superior produce msrket. Searcely a half dozen of our mercantile firms are doing anything to attract the attention of these men from distantlocalities; whereasa few .dollars spent in judicious advertising, and a lttle judgment used in selling them goods, would add immensely to ‘the regular trade of Ligonier. Such a course would soon assure farmers at a distance that it will not only pay them to sell their wheat here, but also to make their purchases of dry goods, hardware, groceries, &c. L

ngonl(’:r as a Grain Market. ‘ In order to give our readers an idea of the importance of Ligonier as a grain market, we hérewith submit & statement of the amount of wheat received at the Ligonier freight depot during last week and a portion of this week—kindly furnished by weighmaster Fred. Saissline: '

During last week 391 Joads, averag-. ing about 40 bushels to the load, were:‘ received. ' The receipts on Saturday alone reached 113 loads. The receipts during the present ‘week were: Monday, 45 .loads; Tuesday, 73 loads; Wednesday (arainy day) 52 loads. Of the latter about 25 loads came from Whitley county. : The shipments, so far, have been 64 car loads of new Amber, averaging 25,000 Ibs. to the car. - Uee sy A large portion of the wheat received here came from Clearspring and Newbury townships, Lagrange county. and from Middlebary, Clinton and Benton in Elkhart county.

A breachy beast belonging to E. D. Messmore jumped the fence of the pasture field, made for the railroad, tried to cross a culvert, became entangled in the bridge, got “stuck,” and broke a leg.

The carcass of the naughly “hoss” was cremated. Miss Laura Drum, of Newark,Ohio, who for some time past has been on a visit to friends in this locality, returned to her home last Friday evening. Before her departure an exceedingly pleasant social gathering 1n her honor took place at the residence of Tom Pollock.
