COLUMBIA CITY ITEWS.

Another fire last week. The saloon owned by Mf. Schauper ‘was destroyed last Monday -evening about eleven o’clock, and, as' is tsually the case, no one can account for it. : ‘

Arrangements are being made to rebuild the new mill lately destroyed by fire. A ’

Our Fair was a success in almost every particular. We have but few faults to find; and one is this: The directors put too much premium on racing and not enough on the productions of mechanics. We prophecy a decided failure of the next annual fair unless conducted on .different principles. . = . ‘Some-of the best farmers in Whitley county, and those having the finest stock, did not attend the last Fair on account of the way it is conducted. As a general rule the stockholders are the ones to whom ‘the premiums are awarded, if they have anything entered. Sty

The appointment of the‘awarding committees, if we understard it, is done by the members of the society, which leaves it all one-sided. When committees ask “whose articles'are these ?” before awarding any premiumps, it looks a little queer. = Fairs were instituted for a 'good purpose, and it is a pity they are not conducted as was intended in the start.

Wheat is looking well, considering the dry weathér we’ve been having. The prospects are favorable for a good crop next year. : i

There is talk of graveling the road from here to the Huntington county line, and thereby insure a larger trade from Huntington county. 7 . Our merchants who buy wheat pay more for it than most adjacent towns, on aceount of low rates of freight,and were the roads graveled the trade would increase rapidly. Columbia City is not the worst town in the State, after all. . L

Our fire department is now in good shape and will be able to cope with a formidable enemy in the shape of fire, if we are so unfortunate as to have one—which we will, eventually. M - .0. N. WARD. . e WILMOT WINNOWINGS. | From reports the Whitley County Fair was far from being a success, or having anything to make it a success. Hog chotera is still en the increase. Will some medieal man step forth and present a cure, or tell how it is done?

Health in this vicinity is improving. Times are growing better, although labor is about the same. But we can boast of good health, anyhow. : Yes, another wédding ere long, even before this article is perused by the many friends of the parties. And this 1s not all; one or two more will be united in the holy bonds of matrimony. We say,success and happiness to all. §

Death has again visited our community and taken from among us one of our best citizens. On Saturday morning last Mr. George Gilbert died after a brief illness, at the age of 67:years, 4 months and 25 days., Mr. Gilbert had been a resident of the State for: about 13 -years; was an exemplary christian and member of the church; a kind father, and was loved and respected by all who knew him. His remains were taken to Salem cemetery, followed by a large number of relatives and friends. Funeral~services were conducted by Rev. Byers. . Mr. Michael Bause has had the opening of his road granted, and will no doubt have it opened at once by paying the assessed damages. Ebp. - October 9th, "717. [

Again our farmers are through seeding, nge being very late on account of sickness .which has prevailed so largely in this locality. But it seems health is improving to some ‘extent which I think will cause Dr. Depew, of Wolf Lake, to feel relieved, as he was on the professional tour day and night. ' ' ,

- Our neighbor, Abraham Otut, has been cenfingd to his bed for some time, and at one ;time there was not much hopes of his recovery. Butl am informed now that he is getting Wetter again, which we hope may prove true, as Mr. Ott is an excellent citizen and one whom our neighborhood can illy afford to lose. : :

You can hear the chanting tunes of the Wolf Lake Brass Band nearly every evening. Go ahead, boys; we need just such an institution in our midst. More of this hereafter. .

Latayette Dispatch: The streets of Lafayettehave been thronged, packed, jammed, blockaded and weighed in all day by teams from the country, each vehicle being loaded down with corn. Thousands of bushels of corn have been sold in the city to-day—more than in any ene day for many months. . Bechtelheimer, ‘who one year ago ‘'was convicted and sentenced for life to the penitentiary for the murder of Miss Susan Vandermark, but who was released upon technicalities by a decision of the Supreme Court and a new trial ordered, was again put upon his trial last week at Warsaw, and, after a brief hearing, was acquitted. ° The Lafayette Courier says: A queer case of perjury will come before the grand jury at the present session.— William Houck voluntarily made a sworn affidavit before Mayor Kimmel never to touch another drop of whisky- He was solemnly warned of the penalty if he violated his oath,wHich he proceeded to do in a few days. Saturday he was arrested for intoxication, and is now in jail awaiting the action of the grand jury on the charge of perjury. He is nearly frightened to death. An aged individual at Syracuse, Kosciusko county, named Travis, was having a bastardy case disposed of in the court at Warsaw, and before the proceedings were through with a warrant was Issued for his arrest on a charge of incest, the charge being made by his stepdaughter, aged a little over fourteen years. The child is encternite, and it seems that Travis induced her to elope and marry a young man named Gates, and this was done’ on Monday last. She was induced to inform her brother of the true state of affairs, hence the proceedings against Travis.

Delphi 7%mes: -On Saturday evening, after banking ' hours, when the books were all posted, and everything arranged, Will Hubbard, cashier,of the Citizens’ bank, closed the safe, carefully noting the eombination, and went home to dream of exchange, discounts, and the many details which interest the banker.. On Monday morning, just before the time for opening the bank,he went to the safe,carefully turned the knob in the manner indicated by the combination which he held in his mind, but the lock wo'd not operate. Again and again he tried, but to no purpose. When the other officets of the bank arrived it was determined to communicate with the manufacturers at Cincinnati without delay. They did so, and on Monday evening an expert arrived from the factory, but he was unable to accomplish anything, and it became necessary to eut the safe open, which operation, being extremely tedious, was not accomplished until Thursday afternoon. ‘ Fortunately the bank had funds sufficient on the outside to meet any ordinary demand, and the business of the institution -was not seriously intertered with.

A Return of Health or Money.

People who havesuffered from pain-fully-ulcerated limbs, or old running sores that burn and itch when overheated, and produce so much discomfort, will, find much: pleasure in the assurance that they will be cured by the judicious use of Dr. Smith’s Stillingia Blood Purifier, or have their money refunded. This medicinestimulates the aetion -of all the bodily organs, freeing the system of all morbid and corrupt matter, and by its bloodcleansing properties causes old sores and ulcers to gradually disappear. While this medicine is being taken to cleansé the blood and system of all impurities, Dr. Smith’s Carbolic and Arsenic Salve should be used to dress the sore and remove the itching and morbid growth from the ulcer, thereby promoting healthy action and healing. Both medicines sold by druggists. Price: Carbolic.and Arseni¢ Salve, 25 cents; Stillingia Blood Purifier, 75 cents. Sent by mail (one bottle of each) for $l.lO. Dr. B. A.

A Fine Pair from Noble County,

Among the many horsemen and lovers of good horses who attended the Goldsmith Maid matinee on Saturday, were two notables from Noble county, near Ligonier, Will and Norman Latta. These gentlemen have a few hundred acres of land in what is called the Hawpatch, and devote themselves to farming and raising fine horses. They have a half-mile track on their farm which cannot be surpassed, and on it they bring up their colts in the way they should go. Each of them has over, two hundred pounds of this world’s flesh to lugaround, and a heart bigger than an ox’s. They take in all the races of any account in the country, and what they don’t know about a horse or making things pleasant for friends when they call, isn’t worth hunting up.—South Bend Tribune, 6th.

The ‘continued droughtin California has brought about a most ‘terrible state of things, and so urgent is the need for aid in San Francisco that an appeal is made to the benevolent.— Hundreds, perhaps. thousands, of men are in thas city, destitute and out of work, and the charitable associations now, in operation find themselves utterly powerless to abate the vast suffering. It is suggested that soup houses similar to those in other cities be started; that the rent of worthy families be paid, and that the city be -carefully districted and visited by proper persons to extend aid to the poor, who will almost die rather than beg. Itis hoped that the December rains will revive industry, make a demand for laborers and again open the channels for trade.

The Lagrange Fair, Lagrange Register. - | L

The receipts of the Fair from all sources were $1,416.25. Theﬁ‘receipts for family tickets were $961. The most ever received before from the same source was ‘sB4l. The exact amount received at the gates we have not learned, but are informed that they considerably exceed that of any previous Fair, The largest amount from all sources ever received by the society at any of its Fairs was in the fall of 1874, when the receipts were $1,496.35, but it must be borne in mind that that fall thesociety received from the country in licenses $4O, from dining halls $5O. and from wheels of fortune and games of chance $5O; making $l4O. . This year nothing was received by the society form these sour‘ces, all games of chance being excluded from the grounds. Deducting the $l4O from the receipts of 1874 as not regular receipts, the Fair of this year exceeds any previous one by $6l.

Threats have been freely made in the form of letters that the town of Tiffin, 0., will be burned very soon.— Five attempts to fire the place were made about the same hour on Tuesday night.

. :Does Prohibitionil’mhlblt ? Ep.BANNER:—The Chicago T'ribune of August 29, 1877, contained an article copied from the Boston Post, and written by a correspondent at Bangor, Maine, said article being headed *Prohibition,” and being nearly a column and a half in length, and arguing that under the prohibitory laws of Maine there was an “extraordinary increase of drunkenness” and that the people were being “educated in a vastsystem of hypoeriey.” ¢ In THE BANNER of Sept. 27th there appeared a short article copied from the LaPorte Argus, and dpubtless written under the influence of the 7'ribume article, taking ‘similar ground, and stating that in 1855, before the passage of the prohibitory laws, the arrests were but 285 in the city of Bangor, and that while said city has not increased in population yet in 1876 under the prohibitory laws the arrests ‘were 770. Being a prohibitionist, and believing both articles to be false in their statements, I cul the LaPorte Argus article from Tak BANNER and with a letter of inquiry, mailed it to the pastorof the First M. E. Church of Bangor. I have before me his reply, and also a slip which he sent me, taken from the columns of the Northern Border, published in Bangor, said Blip being an editorial in reply to the article in the Boston Post, to which we have referred as being copied by the Chicagg T'ribune. The letter is as follows: G

‘ ’ 'BANGOR, Oct. 8, 1877, DEAR Bro.—Your letter containing a slip of paper has been read. The statements made are utterly false. No man or woman or child outside the rum dealers and their supporters pretend to question the utility of the Maine liquor law. Night after night goes by without an arrest, and our police force is reduced from thirty toiten. The marshal says “two of our public houses have faied, and nearly every one goneinto different hands.” Isend you a slip from the Northern Border, printed in Bangor, from the editor’s pen a few statements. S ; Yours truly, H. W. BOLTON. -The following is the slip referred to: . ;

The Boston Post publishes a slanderous article in relation to the Maine liquor law, written by Mr. J. L. Stoddard, - a young gentleman recently coming to this city, who knows as little of the subject he writes about as any one to bé found among us. If he has written upon the information derived from ' others, he has evidently obtained from those who have always opposed the temperance reformation, who have advocated the licensing of this deviltry of rum-selling, and who, in x%:ny instances, have done so as lovers and imbibers of the vile stuff themselves. * *° * Hig positions are those which have been advocated by the rum-party in this State for the last forty years; and every one of them was examined and answered, over and over again, before the young man was born. The community has gone through, long ago, all the points he tries to make; and nobody feels inclined, merely for his sake, or for the sake of the little band of incorrigible rummies that stand behind him, to re-discuss questions so thoroughly determined and settled in the public mind. =~ :

It seems to me that the above given refutation sufficiently disprove the assertions made in the two articles referred to at the beginning of this communication. If, however, it should meet your approbation, and I will not be trespassing upon good nature, I will write a few brief articles. upon the above heading; not that I seek a controversy, but because I believe the great majority of people, and many of them as fervently temperance as myself, are led astray by just such articles as those I have sought to refute. ‘ A, E.

- Mr. Fleming, of the Ligonier House, Ligonier, Ind., is not one of the accommodating kind. = Good location for some active and accommodating' man to start a first-class hotel.—Sturgis Democrat. e

- We hear considerable complaint in regard to that house, but like all monopolists, there is no particular object in trying to accommodate.—Kendallville Standard. ; i

. In reply to the above we would say, by way of explanation, that the writer of the above came here one evening during the Fair and demanded a room. As we were very much crowded and obliged to look out for regular customers on night trains who stay from one to two days, we hesitated to give out a room alone for nothing and disccmmode a regular custoxper who pays two dollars a day. Had the writer come any other time than during the Fair, (our busiest time,) he should have been given the best we afford, free gratis, and his desire of dead-heading should have been gratified. e

As to the Standard man we would say he never heard any complaint as regards the house, only what he manufactured by his own machine; simply because we would not pay for an advertisement he claimed he inserted and which we never authorized oxf saw in his paper. His mind has been greatly troubled as to our affairs. We.did not deem these items worthy offiotice, and should not have replied had not our many’ friends insisted. If either of the above men will visit Ligonier again and stop at the house, their bill shall be free and a chromo thrown in, J. E. FLEMING & SON,

“They All Do It.” - We havereceived from the publishers, Messrs. Lee & Shepard, a copy of the Danbury News Man’s new book, “They All Do It.” It isfull of rollicking humor and is one of the brightest and most pleasant of books. The author says: “It is designed to rest you when you are tired, to cheer you when depressed, and to tone you down generally when you are inclined to make yourself disagreeable about the house.” That is what he says. For further particulars ask the booksellers, - “LAWSON’S CURATIVE” i 8 a scientific and invaluable cure for the worst of all diseases, Dospepsia, in all its forms, not taking, like most preparations, a long time to cure, but the first dose gives relief, and in a few days the patient is completely cured. %ﬁ: dose «.i_s..ana.allgz-nio&nnp;mm?ﬁw: 1 b A i bet #ﬂ’ ,‘g ﬁlﬂ eﬁmﬁ perbottle, . oswe
