We hear it stated that many farmers throughout the country are disposing of their sheep, and that sheep-rais-ing is declinging every year. Many farmers claim that owing to the destruction of sheep by dogs sheep-rais-ing has becgme unprofitable. ‘When all the sheep are gone what will the dogs bé good for? 1t is much better to have ten worthless dogs in a neighhood than a couple of hundred valuable sheep.

—New_subscribers are coming in pretty freely, of late. = People do say that THE BANNER is growing better and better, and that there is no use trying to keep house without it. The ladies, especially, aré emphatic in declaring it an indispensable article.- - —Wm, 8. Kiser and Isaac Mendenhall, 6f Albion, made us a pleasant call last Tuesday. Mr. Kiser informs us that his abstract office is now in running order, and that it presents a fine appearance. He, invites everybody to:drop in and see him at his new quarters. s —We are pléased to state that many of “our subscribers ‘are making it a point to call in.and inquire after their subscription; and, what is still more gratifying, they generally leave a greenback or two to secure a continuation of THE DANNER’S agreeable weekly visits at their firesides. | —The LaPorte Herald will publish a \daily afternoon paper during the session of the Northwestern Indiana Conference of the M.

. —Alexis writes some very readable “notes by the way.” It will be noticed by a perusal thereof that Congressman Baker is not only in favor of the repeal ot Sherman’s ruinous resumption act, but that he also favors the propaesition of making greenbacks a full legal tender for all purposes. On the dollar of thé daddies Mr. Baker has been right from the beginning of the controversy. ‘. : —Miss \Mollie Beach, who for the past three years has been teaching school at Wayland, Mich., is making her customary annual visit to her many friends in this place,her former home. She will probably remain four or five weeks, during which time old acquaintanceship will be renewed.— Miss Beach is an excellent teacher, and enjoys the profound esteem of all who have ever had the pleasure of forming her acquaintanee, As amatter of course, she.is not only a subseria ber but also a warm: friend to THE BANNER, the weekly wisits of which ghe treasures among thp most pleasant events of everyday life. : ~—Mrs. Jacob H. Hefner, of Ringgold, Lagrange county, dropped in the other week, and in a business-like manner inqguired after her husband’s subscription. = She remarked he was too busy threshing the immense wheat crop of his neighborhood to call in person, and as the family was so well pleased with their first year’s trial of THE BANNER, she had concluded to attend herself to renewing the subscription. Now, here is an evidence of woman’s. capacity for taking care of minor affairs of business that sho’d not go unnoticed. Indeed,it has given us an idea which we are impelled to’ present to the consideration cf the reading public in general. It is this: Where the husband’s attention is so ‘greatly absorbed with business as to render it inconvenient to look after small financial transactions, would it not be a good plante turn such over to their wives, especially if these be possessed of qualifications that would insure reliability and accuracy. In this manner the wife could with perfect propriety and safety relieve the husband of numerous small cares, and that, too, without imposing upon herself anything like a burden or a disagreeable task. G —We regret to notice quite a dis- ' position on the part of certain editors ‘and correspondents to irritate Dr. Parker, of the Garrett News, by applying senseless, and, in some instances, insulting epithets. Dr. Parker has his peculiarities ‘and his faults; bat a long and intimate acquaintance with him enables us to say that these adverse criticisms are not only in most cases undeserved, but unjust, and entirely out of place. The Doc‘tor is, above all things, earnest and positive ‘in_his convictions of right and wrong, and, like most men of that type, by his out-spoken manner, is apt to give offense to those who do not. know him intimately.

No efforts wyl be spared by them to accomplish this end. Remember that Gov. Williams will deliver the address on Thursday, Sept. 11, the second day of the Fair.

—The South Bend Herald remarks: The Goshen public is anticipating a lively time at the coming fireman’s tournament, on the sth and 6th of September.

He has been assigned to the Clear Creek Circuit, in Huntington county, and will be succeeded by Rev. J. A, Cummings, of Pierceton, who is said to be a man of considerable ability. We very much regret to part with Mr. Dunnuck, who is justly Jeld in high esteem by our citizens generally, and whom we regard in the fullest sense of the word a faithful, zealous and copscienti"ous worker in the' vineyard of the Lord. ; . —A large andience listened to Dr. Crum’s eloquent and forcible address on temperance, in the U. B. church last Tuesday evening. Though a great deal has been spoken and written on the subject of temperance, the Doctor succeeded admirably in entertaining and interesting his audience. As an evidence of the favorable dmpression made by his remarks we need but point to the fact that at the conclusion about forty persons signed the pledge and donned the red ribbon. ' "As many of the citizens this side of the river were unable to attend Tuesday night’s meeting, we beg leave to suggest that the Dr. be invited to speak again, at an early day, either in the M. E. or the ‘Christian church. LR :

—A number of Free-Masons of this place left last Sunday night for Cleveland, to attend the grand triennial reunion of Knights Templar. Tuesday was the “big day,” the grand parade being the event of the occasion. The display is said to have been magnificent. The procession was one hour and thirty minutes passi a given point. There were ﬁftﬁﬁur’ bands and a dozen drum corps, Not less than 8,000 swords werein line. About 175 commanderies marched. Some difficult and beautiful maneuvers were performed during the march. The most noticeable: formation was that of marching crosses. Not less than a quarter of a million of people witnessed the procession, every available window and house-top being occupied, besides crowds on either side of the street through the line of march. The weather was very auspicious, though a trifle too hot for comfort, | ;

- We infer that “Hope,” of the New Era, injured himself much more than anyone else by his remarks In last week’s issue.. So, so, friend “Hope,” if you wish to correspond from this voint you should be careful and not mention facts, or riots, or anything else except to compliment some one who is least worthy of it, and you will then please some of the valent of Cromwell. We do not' wish to offend or discourage you, “Hope,” but only tender friendly advice. So,now, beware! Don’t say anything that will hurt the place, as your satirical criticisms on Sabbath school will have such tendencies. .If we have said too much, we simply beg pardon, feeling assured it will be granted. i Mr. Editor, as you remavked I must be mistaken regarding the wheat dicker, I just wish to say that this is altogether too true to please the parties hauling the wheat. It came about in this manner: The man came to town before we got our morning markets from Toledo, and as wheat was $1.16 the day before, our purchaser offered the same price. When the morning market reports were received it was found that wheat had declined 8 to 5 cents. So you see I ‘was correct, and the early bird would have caught the worm. [Ah yes; we understand the gituation now. It was because your wheat-buyer did n’t know what wheat was worth that lie offered more than was being paid here.—ED. BANNER.]

*lf wisdom’s ways you’d wisely seck, ; Five things observe with care: 4 ~* Of whom you sgeak.,ho whom you speak; How, when, and where.” ; The above proverb should be studied by a number of our estimable citizens, as it would prevent trouble, querrelg and contention in many cases. A some of our citizens are now about going into litigation to make some one prove something that somebody else should have said, now this trouble could have all been prevented had the above proverb béen heeded. We hope some of our worthy citizens may be benefited by it. -MOLLIE. .

Don’t Blame the Churn ' It is a.l right—look. to your cows' You wonder why the butter does not come out after hours of hard labor churning—it is simply because your cream is poor; the conditiom ot your cows must be improved if you exvect: rich cream, and good, firm, healthy: butter. You can accomplish this by using Foutz’s Celebrated Cattle Powders.

'RM’FK%‘L COUNTY, IND. . Ep. BANNER:—A few items frem Nappanee might not be overlooked in THE BANNER. e . ' Nappanee is a small town of between three and four hundred inhabitants. It is situated on the B. & O. railroad; is a new town, only a few years old, 'and contains one new -church, three dry goods stores, one hard-ware store, - one dgug store, two shoe shops, two _Saw-mills, one harness shop, one gunsmith shop, two black-smith shops, one shingle and stave factory, and two good doctors, but no lawyers. It is Baid that according to the report of the surveyor of the B. & O. railroad that the town of Nappanee lies sixty feet higher than Bremen, eight miles ‘west, and also about forty feet higher than Milford Junction, eight miles east. Nappanee has a splendid country around it, well adapted to all kinds of grain generally raised in Northern Indiana, but we raise no such big wheat and stumps as they do on west Hawpatch. Wheat averages from 20 to 25 bushels per acre, oats from 40 to 50 bushels; corn will be a very good Ccrop. :

A young man by the name of A. Jackson, a few miles east of Nappanee, was run over by the eastward bound freight train on Sunday morning last.; His body was cut to pieces in.a‘horrib_le manner, and theremains Jvere buried in the evening of the same day. e X Mr. Valentine Yoder, deacon of the Omish Church, while going’home from town on a wagon, met with a serious accident the other day. The horses became unmanageable, and he was thrown out and became seriously hurt.. His recovery is doubtful.- ; That’s you,"W. H.

REMARKABLE RESULTS FOLLOW.— Pain ceases, swellings subside, Tever abates, and a natural aﬁdﬁ}le}glhy state exists after using thi€¥great and wonderful preparation known as Thomas’ Electrie Oil. Thoasands testify to the: hap’é)iness resulting from the use of this: preparation. Why nof procure a bottle at once. The cost is trifling and effect sure. One dose cures common sore throat. One bottle has cured bronchitis. Fifty cents worth has cured an old standing cough. It positively cures catarrh, asthma and croup:. Fifty cents worth has cured c¢rick in the back, and the same quantity lame back of eight years’ standing. The. following are extracts ‘from a few of the many letters that have been received from different parts, which, we think, should be sufficient to satisfy the most skeptical: A. Howser, of North Lansing, N. Y., writes,“l had a severe cold for four weeks, and was so hoarse-that T could not speak. Hearing of your Electric Oil, I procured a bottls, whigh,- removed the hoarseness af oncd, .. - s ; ] ‘

Thomas Hobinson, Farnham Centre, writes: “I have been afflicted with rheumatism for the past tem years, and have tried many remedies without relief, until I tried ‘Dr. Thomas’ Electric Oil,” and since then have had no attack of it. I would; recommend it to all.” . . = See what the Medical Faculty say: Dr. Beaudoin, Hull, P. Q., says, *I have sold ‘Thomas’ Electric Oil’ for two years, and I have never sold a medicine: which has given a more thorough satisfaetion. I have used it in my own case, on -a broken leg and dislocated ankle, with the best results.” s ‘ e A. H. Gregg, Manufacturer of Mowing Machines, Trumansburg, N.Y,, says: “My thumb was caught in a machine and badly injured; being awao from home for two days was obliged to apply such remedies as I could get, but without relieving the pain. - Immediately on reaching home I applied the *Electric Oil,” with almost instant relief. I have a large number of men employed, and your oOil has established for itself such a reputation that nearly every one of them keep it.” : : 1 Sold by all medicine dealers.
