TFive per cent off for cash. i - —We are told that the purely agricyltural Fair at Warsaw, last week, was a total failure. This would seem toindicate that a Fair. without horse racing affords no particular attraction to the average ruralist of Kosciusko. The horse Fair, which is yet to come off, is likely to be made a success.

~—Don’t fail to read the speech of President Hayes, published on the 4th page of this week’s BANNER. It contains what is sometime called “mighty interestin’ readin’” for our republican friends, who will doubtless be puzzled how to reconcile their chief’s conciliatory sentiments with the bloody shirt speeches of ‘a short year ago. - —Dr. Gants proves himself to be nearly as good an agriculturist as he is a dentist, as witness the lot of fine 'sweet potatoes and radishes left on Toe BANNER sanctum table. They were not only sweet and nutritious, but as large as the Doctor’s generous heart. © Long may®he live to raise such garden truck with which to adorn the editor’s table. o :

—The most effective preservation for eggsthat has yet been proposed, says the Agriculturist, is linseed oil, and packing them small end downward, in any dry and porus substance that is a non-conductor of heat, such as chaff, cork, cutting or maple sawdust, they have been kept in perfect condition and without loss of weight for six months, - :

. —Dr. Crum is engaged in repainting -and remodeling his residence on Martin street.

Quite a number of persons from abroad were in attendance.— Thanks to the club for courtesies extended to ye BANNER. Those Harmonia boys do nothing by halves. They always make a success of anything they engage in. o —From an eastern exchange we learn that two Seventh-Day Baptists have recently been prosecuted in a ‘town in Central Pennsylvania for ~working on Sunday. They defended themselves by pleading that their religfon taught them to observe the sev--enth day, and that the use of “the first day of the week” is an unrighteous inpovation, never sanctioned by Scrip‘tare. They also claimed that the law of 1794 is unconstitutional and that it {isopposed to any Sabbath at all, since it abolishes the 8 &gﬂiﬁﬂ“mﬂ W h at all.

Wolf and wife accompanied them as far as Chicago, where they will attend the exposition before returning homse, Mrs. Sylvester Abrams has been very ill for the past week, but at present is slowly improving. There will be a very large yield of clover seed in this vicinity. '

Jacob Kreager has made 140 loads of hay this year, and in addition to that has a very large wheat and corn crop. How is that for Sparta?

- Truman Pollock has been very sick for about ten days, but at last accounts was slowly recovering. o . We were sorry to learn that our esteemed friend, John P. Kitt, has lost

over thirty head of hogs, almost his entire stock, with that fatal disease, cholera. : £ iy :

Henry Weade started lust Monday a week on an extended tour through the Western States. He is at present visiting relatives in Kansas. ' Since our last writing we learned of several more persons in addition to the number of names we gave, that attended the exposition at Chicago at that time; among the number were Alban Braucher, Cary P.'Kreager, Emma E. Kreager, George Kitt, Belle Calbeck, Belle Engle, George Priest, William Scott, Ge.rge Feltheiser, Simon Archer, F. 0. ingvall, Jacob Green and wife, all of whom seemed to enjoy themselves hugely. . o MARK

- —Reform is needed: among a lot of street gamins that swagger and swear about town in a manner that would make an old sailor blush. As these boys grow older some of the more sensible ones find that what they once thought smart looks very foolish; but the habit grows unless checked and many of them continue to make fools of themselves all theirlives. Itis well said by the Salem Democrat that there ‘is neither pleasure, amusement. artificial strength, sense or nonsense in swearing. Stop it. ’ T

—By reference to the premium list published in last week’s BANNER if, will be seen that John L. Gallup, of near Kendallville, was awarded a diploma for specimens of tile of his own manufacture, which he had on exhibition. The tile was prouounced of a superior quality by all who examined the same. When any of our patrons are in need of anything in this line let them call at Gallup’s yard, three miles north-east of Kendallville. ;

Social at Kann’s Hall.

. The pupils of the Noble County Normal School will meet at Kann’s Hall, Friday evening, October 5, for social and mutual enjoyment. Everybody is cordially invited to be present. The schoal will close to-morrow, and we trust all persons interested in the educational interests of our town and county will be present at this social.

Sixty-five Bushels of Wheat to the Acre. Sl. PAUL, Sept. 26.—The La Sueur Sentinel says the most extraordinary crop of wheat we have had reported in the State is said to have been raised by Fred. Almich, in Tyrone township, who, from five acres of land, has threshed two hundred and seventyfive bushels of wheat, machine measure, or sixty-five bushels per acre. The statement comes well authenticated and we can not doubt it.

—ln all kindness we beg leave to suggest to the gentlemen whom it may concern that the people of Noblé eounty are not overly interested in that Virginia discussion, and that life is too short to consult the opiuions of Smith, Jones, &c., as to which of the disputants came out ahead. s ——— el i : : —lt is stated that 188 tickets were sold at the Ligonier station yesterday morning, for a ride on the clogely packed Chicago excursion train.

ROME CITY ITEMS.

After an absence of quite a while ‘we have again got around to Rome, and will send in another squib for THE BANNER. ' Malarious diseases in and about Rome prevail to a considerable extent. Some cases are very obstinate and approach very nearly to the old fashioned “shaking ague” of early days in this .country. It is not Rome alone that is visited in this manner, but the disease is very general throughout Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, and many other parts of the country. Quinineis in daily demand and is very nearly if not quite a legal-tender. Notwithstanding very few cases terminate fatally. A little rain and a few sharp frosts will be likely to make quite a change in this particular. : : - Newt. Berry’s new grain house is now completed, and ready for the reception of grain. It is a very convenient and well arranged concern. A side track is put down already for loading the cars, and not a thing is lacking that we know of but the spondulix. The Woolen Mills are now standing still and about 30 employes who used to éarn therein their daily bread are now out of employment. .Another striking ease o[;{?‘a_ver production.”’— We will speak more at length on this subject hereafter. o s ‘James Gibson, of the llawpatch, made our. town a visit on Friday last, He reports that crops of, all kinds ip his neighborhood (except fruit,) was never equalled, but their hogs have all died with cholera. Most of the farmers in the Hawpateh will have to look elsewhere for their supply of winter pork.* We are sorry to hear of such great fatality amongst the porkers. Dan O’Connell has beenin F't. Wayne for some time back. “The Hunter’s Home” (in the trush) now presents a very lonesome and forlorn appearance. ‘How hast the mighty fallen.” ;

"~ Wm. Lawson has retired from the saloon business, and Peter St. Marie has things all his own way in thatline. Peter keeps a very quiet place.

We learn that Doctor Yarnell talks of pitching his winter quarters -at Zanesville, Ohio, or some place in that region. ‘ R

Doctor John Fitch has bought the interest of Mr. Travis in the drug store, and will hereafter run that machine on his own hook. . . :

Now we have a meat market, and now we. don’t. And now we have a meat peddler, and now we don’t. This is the question which sorely vexesithe Romanites. Neighbor Shamway kills a mutton semi-occasionally; that is, when he can spare the time from the rat business. i 1

Mrs. S. S. Fitch, Mr. Hardy and Mrs. Jack Vincent, of our town, took in the Michigan State Fair, at Jackson, and report that both the crowd and the exhibition were immense. The labor and excitement proved to be rather too much for Mrs. Fitch: Since her return she has been on the sick list.

‘The finney tribe is said to be now congregated at the upper end of the lake. They seem to be holding protracted meetings or something of that sort, ~ '

A. P. Gerber has invented and patented a valuable improvement to the Park & Gerber Scaffold, and were it not for the stringency in money matters (which some call over-production) they would no doubt realize largely from their valuable invention. : The sheriffs of the several counties fhroughout the United States, without regard to politics, are now delivering very convinecing lectures on the greenback question, and are making converts by sthe thousand. “Experience teaches a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.” '

Capt. Eden Fisher is now one of the fiercest advocates of the greenback doctrine. He challenges contradiction and makes its enemies flee before him like the wind. ; e

Our excursion pic-nics are now played out for the season, at least it seems so. The ornamental plants on the pic-nic grounds have been distributed amongst the citizens of the town. ~ Several of our citizens took in the Lagrange County Fair last week. The best turn-out was on Saturday to hear Brick Pomeroy’s address. ' A dance every two weeks, on Saturday night, at the Lake Side House, constitutes about the entire amusement

of Rome City. : : | Doctor Covert and lady took in the Noble County Fair, and express themselves as highly pleased with the exhibition. The Doetor thinks that Ligonier is a right smart town. ' Duck hunting seems to,have commenced in this vicinity. : Rome City is about as dull as any place well can be, without any visible signs of an improvement. ie e Our flouring mill talks of commencing merchant work shortly. : Andy Axel says that kerosene oil will ecure hog cholera. Try lit. :

Mart Hall and Bill Lawson are engaged in the logging business. Lost, strayed or stolen, from the democratic and republican parties: A small child of the feminine gender, called “The Rag Baby.” This innocent and much-abused child, one year ago, was mentioned in every issue'of the newspapers published by the above parties, and kept cmmstantly before' ‘their readers, and held up to ridicule. But now the poor thing is missing. It has wandered away. Can anybody tell of its whereabouts? Can 1t be that it has taken refuge under “the dollars of the daddies,” or where can it be? .Any one giving information ‘where this child can be found and ‘what its condition is, will confer a great favor upon Yours, truly, ,A_Lnigrrs.

CROMWELL ITEMS.

Dry, dusty and hot. ' . Melons are nomore. They are things of the past. Sobeit. o

The demand for cars on the B. & O. road isso heavy that we have been unable to procure a sufficient number to haul our grain off. But our elevators are large and roomy. - About 19,000 feet of poplar lumber belonging to H. Mayfield, was consumed by fire on Wednesday evening of last week. Mr. M. had the lumber in a kiln and seasoning with a stove, and by some means it became ignited and could not be saved. Loss between four and five hundred dollars. .~

As there is considerable petty thieving carried on in our village, it should be a warning to all to keep doors, bureaus, trunks, etc., under lock,and carry the key in their own pocket, as a preventive of this provoking evil. Dr. J. P. Primrose and lady, accompanied by Misses Vinna and Blanchy, of Nelsonville, 0., have been for sev‘everal days back visiting with their sister, Mrs. H. G. Tucker, of this place. They returned home Monday. Grandpa Primrose, father of Mrs. T., will remain some time yet. J. E. Winks, our efficient miller,who had formerly accepted a situation in the Anderson mills, has resigned the same, and returned to resume his old charge. We gladly welcome him back to Cromwell. : :

‘Dick Hussey is moving in the property owned by Fred. Airgood, formerly occupied by H. V. Miller. It gives us much pain to see one of the old heroes of temperance, who for some months back has stood manfully to the pledge, has.in a weak and un.guarded moment broken his pledge, and is going straight-forward in thatbroad and dark path to destruction. This individual braved the many temptations manfully, and resisted them with ease. But, woe unto the | person who enticed him to return to drink. - Death is too good, by far, for such a fiend. We trust he may meet his just reward, and the vender of this damnable curse be caused to drink the bitter dregs of the cup. On Wednesday of last week your humble servant and lady boarded-ex-press train No. 10 on the B. & O. road, bound for the metropolitan tity of the ‘West, Chicago. 'We had the pleasure of riding on the train of Clint Heavey, one of the oldest and best conductors ‘ on this line and who made every effort | to secure for his passengers ease and comfort. We also formed an acquaintance with C. R. Wiley and lady, of ‘Wolf Lake, who proved to be pleasant traveling companions. Mr. and Mrs. Wiley were bound“on a tour through the Western States. Everything was passing by us rapidly and nothing to much interest one’s gaze until we reached Walkerton. Beyond this point the woodland begins to stretch out in vast prairies. As far as the eyeAcan ; reach can be seen tall grass, the prairies spotted hither and thither with cattle that was lazily grazing. It was not long until we reached the mammoth sand hills near the lake. It was beautiful to gaze upon the mountains of white sand, dotted all over withpine shrubbery and the sand drifted as the snow. Not long until we could see the waters of Liake Michigan, and soon we reached the port safely. We at once went to the Sand’s House, where we joined D. C. Hostetter and lady of Milford, and Ferd. Sandrock and lady of Ligonier. As the latter party had taken in McVicker’s theatre, and saw Booth play *‘King Lear,” ‘and wanted to take in something else, we all went to Haverley’s theatre, where we were richly entertained by California Minstrels. Next day,Thursday, we took in Lincoln Park, water works, and explored the mammoth _retail dry goods house of Field, Leiter & Co.; also the large and richly furnished parlors of the Palmer House. In the evening we went to McVicker’s to :see Booth play “Hamlet,” which was fully as interesting as anything we saw while in the city. Next day (Friday) we took in the exposition and other scenes of interest in the place and came home well pleased with: our trip. - Perhaps it may be sport to make the round of wonders in Chicago, but if so I trust I may never see such pleasure. We’have seen all of Chicago we want to forthe next year at least. MOLLIE. Qct. 2d, 18717. ;

SANFORD'S: RADICAL CURE ror CATARRH iBS & safe, certain, and permanent cure for Catarrh of every form, and is the most perfect rem_edjy ever devised, It is purely a vegetable distiliationm. and is applied locally by insufflarion, and consti+ tutionally by.internal administration. ' Locally -apolied relief is instantaneous. It soothes, heals, and cleanses the nasal passages of every feeling of heaviness. obstruction. dullness or dizziness. Constitutionally administered it renovates the blood, purifies it of the acid poispn with which it is always charged in Catarrh, stimulates the stomach, liver and kidneys, perfects digestion, makes new blood, and permits the formation of sound, healthy tissue, and finally obtains complete control of the disease.
