The Figonier Banner, LIGONIER, IND., JUNE 26th, 1879,

—-Hursey & Son’s store building is now ready for the plasterers. ‘__Jonathan Simmons, sr., has built an addition to his barn south of town. —The city council of South Bend has reduced the liquor license from $lOO to $5O. —The editors of Northern Indiana meet in convention at Syracuse to-day and to‘morrow. = T e ~—The sturdy sons of toil are now making calculations of the probable yield of their crops. : —llt is a lamentable fact that social conyersation nowadays consists largely of gossip and scandal. —The approach of the hot season affords a pretext for again raising a howl about the gxtermination of dogs. —+Adam Christie, our famous Illinois correspondent, makes a few remarks tb the readers of THe BANNER this week. o —The annual exhibit of Auditor Stewart should receive the careful attention of every, tax-payer of Noble county. : o —There ought to be more standard silver dollars in circulation this time of the year. Farmers need them for making change. . | - ; **T,inen Dusters for ladies, ladies linen suits, linen in all grades at greatly reduced prices at : : Jacobs & Goldsmith’s, —The pleasantest hours of the day are those between four and six a. m. Some people have never learned that there are such hours. _ —lf you wish to enjoy good health, diminish the use of meats during the hot season. .Fruit, milk and vegetables are the best summer diet. g —Owing to the rain-like s&ate of the weather, many who contemplated going to Rome City Sunday morning concluded to remain-at home. =~ -

—The breach of promise suit of Miss ~ Jennie Straus vs. Léopold Loeser re- . isulted in a verdict of $5OO in favor of plaintiff. The case will probably be appealed. 1 ~—~When a boy comes home with his . shirt on wrong side out and declares he hasn’t been swimming, you may set it down as a fixed fact that he doesn’t ¢ belong to the George Washingten kind. - —A girl who can put asquare patch on a pair of pantaloons may not be so accomplished as one who can work a green worsted dog on a yellow ground, but she is of more real value to the ‘community. o --Young man, maintain your integrity. Never go back on your word. - Don’t make a mock of matters of a serious nature. If you have espoused the red ribbon, wear it honorably, and ~ never lose your self-respect. i ‘ ~—Now the half dozing man at noontide is suddenly brought to his senses by slapping himself on the face till the tears run, in the vain effort to demolish the familiar housefly that has commenced nosing around. % —lt is in order to remark now that slices of cucumber rubbed on the skin have a {ine effect on the complexion, and we might add further, that taften _internally they make a man feel like a saloon-keeper fresh from a red ribbon - revival e o - —We have an idea that if the grand jury were to propound the question to some men: “Did you or did you not, sir, deny that you owned a worthless dog when the assessor called upon you last spring ?”” there would be a little squirming in more than one household. —*No, indeed, I wouldn’t have the dirty, aggravating sheet in my house;” ' and then he sneaks around to thecorner store as soon as the paper is out, gobbles it up and taking a seat upon -the counter, squirts amber juice over ‘}he’_tfloor until he has read every line ni 3 .

« ®J. S, Ohlwine has on hand a new] selected stock of dry goods, notions, boots, shoes, hats, caps, &ec.; &c., which he sells extremely cheap for cash. Also keeps a good line of groceries and pays the highest market price for produce. Call and see him, two doors north of John Weir’s, : —The Salem Democrat says there has been no pic-nic this season in that locality and that a good many persons are getting anxious to go to the woods and spend a day in climbing over logs and hills and tiring themselves nearly to death, and then come home and say they had lots of fun. —The most effective way yet discov--ered to' kill potato bugs is to take the potato parings of the Kkitchen, sprinkle them. with Paris green, and place -them between the rows in the garden. The bugs will leave the vines and go for the pdrings and are killed in great numbers. So says the Connersville Eaaminer. :

—The rural youth now works hard all week, comfortably clothed in their linen trousers and calico shirt, and then tries to sweat himself 'to death Sundays by crawling into his wintés suit of clothes and a high standing collar with two bandana handkerchiefs tied around his neck.—SBalem Democrat. That may be the style down in the southern part of the State, but up here in the breezy Neorth the rural youth dresses himself ‘as comfortably in a modern summer suit as does the average town lad. ~Sol. Mier last Monday moved his Bank into the corner room of the Banner Block. The work of remodeling his building will be commeneced by Mr. P. C. Goshorn in course of a few days. As previously stated, the entire front will be taken out, with a view to replacing it with one of more modern architecture—in imitation of the handsomest bank building at Warsaw. A new counter, costing ahout $5OO, will be made at Warsaw. The entrance to the'bank will be at the north, and the stairway to the second stery will be from the south corner of the building. ‘When completed, Mr. Mier exgect,s to have one of thd’-lfandsomest anking houses in Northern Indiana. |

*+J, Beazel sells buggy tops at from &7 to $l5. Call and see. ~Archy Wil rag just introduced a new Roche's?\r chair in his barber shop, costing $45.. : . **(lose prices on all kinds of summer Dress Goods at 7 Jacobs & Goldsmith’s. —Lawyer Vancamp has moved his office into the small building north of Knepper’s lumber yard. , —William Hitler, of Sparta twp.,last week sold nine steers fed by Charles Weade, the average weight of which was 1,393 pounds, - ;

—The Red Ribbon Festival last Thursday evening was largely attended. The gross receipts amounted to $81.47; net, $50.60. Lt ~—The 1:56 train from the West last Friday was about a half hour late on account of a freight train being off the track at Rolling Prairie. . —The U. S. Express company has made another reduction of rates. They now carry 100-llb. packages to and from Chicago and Toledo at 75 cents. ** All persons having bran due them. on stored wheat, at the Empire Mills, will please'come forward at once and take it out. There will be a change n the firm the coming month. Parties having a book account will also please call and pay up. v S. M. BRADEN & Co. —The Town Council will elect a school trustee to-morrow. We hear it stated that there is a fair prospect of Mr. Abdill be&ng elected his own successor, upon the theory that it is unwise to dispense with an eflicient officer with whose administration no fault is to be found. ;

—Mr. S. W. Straub, and his gentlemanly corps of assistants in’our Normal Music school, arrived in town on Tuesday and gave us a pleasant ‘ call yesterday morning. They report the prospects for a.good musical time as flattering. Quite a number of pupils have arrived from abroad. Parties desiring to enter the school can do so until Monday next, and receive the entire course. _ é

—Among the cakes donated to the Red Ribbon festival was one which, upon being sold and subsequently cut in two, was found to have been made of corn-meal and to contain a half pint bottle partly filled with old rye. The bottle was labeled t@ suit the purpose of the perpetrator, of the “joke,” which, by the way, is by some regarded “a good one” and by others as grossly offensive and libelous. : —Wm. Leuty, of this place, recently sold two car loads of extra fine cattle to S. Evans. One load was shipped last Monday, averaging 1,485 lbs., price $4.50 per hundred. The other lot is to bs taken the last of August at $4.25. The,load shipped on Monday was one of the finest ever shipped.from this place. - They will be taken for export cattlee Mr. Leuty always buys the best grades for feeding. : ' - —IJf your currant and gooseberry bushes are being eat up by worms and caterpillars, you can drive them away by dissolving a smalll quantity of alum in a bucket of water and applying the mixture with a brush to the branches infested. The alum' can be dissolved in hot water, but must only be applied cold. We can’t vouch for the efficacy of this recipe, but give it upo‘n the authority of an agricultural journal. It won’t cost much to try it on. : —The Rhinebeck Gazette argues that the best merchants to purchase from are those who patronize the newspapers. They are not ashamed’'to have their names and business before the public; they can always' be found when wanted, and they do business as business men. Patronizing traveling men may be well -enough, but for one good, honest person of this kind, you are liable to meet twenty-five whose game is to ‘“skin” you out of every cent they can get hold of. Patronize advertisers at home and elsewhere.

— Bro. Stevens, of the Salem Demgcrat, giyes this excellent advice: Don’t allow yourself to get excited. The weather is getting entirely too warm for contention. When the mercury boils all humanity frets and wants to be let severely alone. Try and keep cool; don’t allow trifles to annoy and disturb you. If a paragraph in the newspaper excites your ire, don’t get “on your muscle,” abuse the editor and work yourself into a passion. Rather get a big blue umbrella and hie thee to the shady woodland, study the beauties of nature, hold! silent communion with the bugs and come back rested in 'body and mind.! You’ll live longer if ‘you do. S i :

—A matter needing attention at this season of the year by every housekeeper is the subject of drainage. Almost every resident of. this burg will be able to recall one or more exposed draing, which are foul and repulsive to both eye and nostril. These are worthy of care, and are an offense to the neighborhood where they exist, and also a nuisance to those who have occasion to pass that way. DBut besides these there are other places that need watching. The cellar should ever be kepticlean, and out-houses should be disinfected and the premises freed of any decaying substances, whatever. Lime is cheap and may be used advantageously and is a good disinfectant. A little trouble may save suffering and ’a doctor bill, especially where there are children. v

—We are pleased to observe that Messrs. E. B. Gerberand Jesse L. Dunning have concluded to join Judge Wood in widening the alley leading from the Christian church to Main St. to the width of a 33 ft. street. Judge Wood generously gave 12 feet off of the north side of his lot, and now Messrs. Gerber and Dunning give four feet on the south side of their lots. The latter has already constructed a new fence oif the new line of his premises, and Mr. Gerber will soon follow suit. A sidewalk will also be laid down along the north side of the street, and the Marshal has agreed fo construct a crogsing from Mr. Dunning’s corner to the premises of D. 8. Scott. Thisisan excellent arrangement, and will add largely to the convenience of the resi(tlent.s of that part of our flourishing own, o : :

- —Third week of circuit court. The term islikely to absorb five weeks. ; —Quinine is in active demand. Considerable shaking during the past week." ' : —Meeting of the Town Council tomorrow. Important business will be transacted.’ - —The Ligonier 8., L. &S. Association meets at the office of:the Secreta1y this evening. : —lt is generally conceded that the cool weather of the past two weeks was of great benefit to the wheat which is now rapidly ripening. a 5 o —lf we can’t have a Fourth of July celebration, let the glorious stars and stripes float aloft from every dwelling in town on- that memorable day.

—lt appears now that Vietor Jacob son, the Ft, Wayne ¢lothier, did not commit suicide but died of grief, growing out of financial embarrassments. —Now that house-cleaning is over and almost forgotten, there is a perceptible increase of domestic smiles and a proportionate decrease of soul-harrowing-scolding. _ \ —Here is Bro. Stevens’ recipe for making pic-nic lemonade: One tub of :water, a pound - of sugar and the peel off of a half dozen lemons. Refill with rain water occasionally. . —Farmers are warned to be on their guard for a couple of swindlers who are traveling ‘around pretending to have a patent on the ‘“break pin” o#% corn cultivators, and who claim aroyalty of five dollars.

—The directors of the Agricultural Society met last Friday to agree upon a premium list. Some new features are to be introduced in order to render our next Fajr more attractivethan any of the preceding ones.

—The Peru Sentinel contends that there will be but little use hereafter for grand juries, as under the new law criminals can be tried on information of the prosecuting attorney, without having first been indicted by that jury. —lt being reported that Gov. Williams would call an extra session of the Legislature in January, a reporter called on him a few days since to find out if it was true. The Governor informed: him ‘that no extra session would take place. —The directors of the North Lake and River Association have finally located on the shore of the Nine Mile Lake, within a distance of three miles from Syracuse. They have staked off the grounds for the erection of a buildIng to contain 60 rooms. The objects of this association, as previously sthted, are for horticultural purposes and the scientific propagation and cultivation of fish, promotion ef 'literary attainments and cultivation of physical and mental health. |

- —The Peru Sentinel is authority for the statement that under the new fee and salary bill the County Auditor is allowed to charge in all matters litigated before the Board of Commissioners, the same fees allowed the Clerk of the Circuit Court for similar services, including; all proceedings in highways, turnpikes and ditches. Therefore, all parties who wish to change,. locate or vacate highways will have to apply to the Auditor for the papersin the case and pay all costs. : --THE BANNER is published.in the interest of the people of Noble county and should thereforebe in every family. The fact that you take a religious or political paper 13 no reason why you should not havethe home news. Don’t ‘borrow any longer, but march up to the office and pay for it, and be happy; or if you do.not want to go toso much trouble, just hand a two dollar bill to one of our authorized agents who will see that the morey is placed into the hands of the “boss” without charging you a cent for'the trouble. —Sherlock Lodge, I. 0. O. F. of Madison, warns all.Odd-Fellows against one Samuel Peck, who, on the strength of a traveling card from that lodge, has been visiting various lodges in different States, and obtaining money through false pretenses. PYeck is a stoutly built, fine looking gentleman, a Hebrew scholar, of pleasing address, very courteous in his manner, and was a few years since a resident of Madison, and pastor of the Congregation Adath Israel, in that city. ‘ :

—There are those who seemingly do not know that there is upon the statute books of Indiana a law ' providing for the punishment of cruelty to lrorses or other animals—a law, by the way, which all good citizens should aim to have ‘rigorously enforced. This law provides: “That ®very person who shall cruelly beat or torture or overdrive any horse or other animal, whether belonging to himself or another, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,and upon conviction shall be fined in any sum not exceeding one hundred dollars.”

—The Indianapolis News advocates cheap coffee houses in the interest of temperance, where drinkers can have all the comforts of a public house—warmth, light, newspapers, the privilege of playing dominoes or cards and of using tobacco—without the presence of their arch enemy, liquor. The News believes that the average reform clib room, with its repelling placards of “The Use of Tobacco Strictly Forbidden,” etc., where no games or hilatity are allowed, offer no attractions to the saloon or tavern habitue in exchange for the welcome which he finds at his accustomed haunts.

—We fully endorse the suggestion thrown out by the editor of the Salem Democrat that the farmers of each county in the State “ought to have regular monthly or quarterly meetings where they could get together and learn something from one another by discussing such questions as are of vital interest and importance to agriculturidts. There is entirely too much false pride and conceit among tillers of the soil, This should be laid aside and they should meet together and learn something from each other instead of getting all their advice from farm journals and from those who perhaps have never followed the plow. : These ‘meetings are carried on regularly .in ‘most of the older States and are made ‘ingtructive as well as profitable,”

—The oil inspector will soon be around. - : ’ *+All white hats sold af cost, at the Ladies’ Bazaar. e L ‘ —New potatoes are making their appearance in the market. ont —C(Call at the Ladies’ Bazaar and get one of those elegant advertising Fans. —Several petitions for new sidewalks will be submitted to the Town Council tO-mOlrTow. fa ok Sl

—lsadc Ackerman is erecting a onestory brick warehouse, 24x50 ft., in the rear of his business house. L

—Farmers are gathering small bills, daddy dollars, and subsidiary coin to pay their harvest hands. . - —The new law allows $6OO exemption from execution of any kind of property the debtor may choose. It is now in full force. : £ —The Northeastern Indiana Medical Society met at Kendallville last Tuesday. The attendance was unusually large, fully sixty physicians participating. Dr. Casebeer, of Auburn, was elected President and H. D. Wood, of Angola, Secretary. Dr. Carr, of this place, is one of the censors. . —ln order to quiet the complaints about defective sidewalks, the Town council has decided to order the repair‘ing and rebuilding of all the dilapidat‘ed sidewalks in town. Official notice \to that effect will soon be served upon property owners “whom this may concern,” and it is to be hoped that the directions of the Board will be cheerfully and promptly complied with.

- PERSONAL, sy Mrs. I. E. Knisely has been visiting in Toledo. i : sithed Douglas Pancake, of Elkhart township, removes to Kansas this week. - Mrs. Will’Sisterhen and Miss Clara Luke, are visiting at Grand Rapids. Mr. Hallenbeck has gone to Goshen, where he will inaugurate a temperance movement. i ‘ Stoner, Casey, and Conner have entered for the 4-hour walk at Plymouth on Saturday next. ] Jas. M. Denney, of Albion, lectured on “Darwinism,” last evening, before the students of the M. E. College. There was a fine attendance and the lecture was an able effort. ~ Ft. Wayne Sentinel, 21st. ‘ Jake Frank, after .gaining some knowledge of the manner of doing things in Louisville and St. Louis, concluded to return to Ligonier and again assume the management of Sol. Ackerman’s grocery &c. Ile says he has come back for good. : , Uncle John Prough was in town last Friday. He thinks that little whisky flask which was found in that corn cake at the red ribbon festival is the same little dodger that two Ligonier lawyers recently had at a trial over in the “Swamp.” James E. McDonald, of Columbia City, .was in town last Friday, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scott. Mr. MecDonald is associated with Augustus C. Mills in the Columbia City Normal School, the fifth annual session of which opens on the 21st of July and continues six weeks. Both gentlemen being successful teachers, the Normal under their management will doubt‘less be a success.’

. “A 'WORD TO THE AFFLICTED.—Drs. Price '& Brewer have made their visits for years. It is almost unnecessary to append to this announcement any recommendations or enconiums. The doctors are well known in this viciniity, and the cures they have wrought speak volumes for them. Their studies and researches in the diseases which they make a specialty, have been prosecuted with an unyielding application and vigor, which have awarded them with wonderful success. In their treatment they have not remained satisfied with the old well beaten course their system embraces. New ideas, new medicines and new operations, and these combined with the old methods of the schools, have ever been attended with the most gratifying results.” i e Those in this vicinity in want of skillfull ‘physicians can find them in Drs. Price & Brewer, who make their next visit to this town on ‘Thursday, ‘theloth of July, at the Ligonier House.

Odd-Fellows Pic-Nic at Rome City. . (Fort Wayne Sentinel, June 21.) : The. Odd Fellows’ pic-nic at Rome City yesterday was a grand success. Speeches were made by Grand Master Cox, P. Grand Kimbpall and Grand Chaplain Steward. From this eity therc were 686 passengers, and there was an accession of 25 at Kendallville. The day was passed in boating, eating, fishing, and dancing. The par}y left Rome City at 6 o’clock, arriving here about 8. Part of the city band and some of the excursionists stopped oft at Kendallville to attend a dance. Before the train reached Huntertown the conductor was notified to pass over the trestle work at that place carefully. Upon investigation the trestle work was found to be in a very unsafe condition. The train passed over it very slowly, and most of the passengers walked over. : : :

The bolting greenbackeas of Ohio met in convention at Toledo on Tuesday., No nominations were made; but the.convention was a virtual indorsement of Ewing and Rice. Specie resumption was denounced as a fraud and swindle, and an unlimited coinage of silver dollars was demanded.

The Ft. Wayne beer parks are open on Sunday, according to the Sentinel.

.+~ . .An Honest Medicine. Of-all medicines advertised to cure any affection of the throat, chest or lungs, we know of none we can -recom-l‘ mend so highly as Dr. King’s New| Discovery for consumption, .coughs, colds, asthma, bronchitis, hay fever, hoarseness, tickling in the throat, loss of voice, etc. This medicine does positively cure, and that where everything‘ else has failed. No medicine can show| one-half so many positive and perma-| nent cures as have alreaded been effected by this truly wenderful remedy. For asthma and bronchitis it is a perfect specific, curing the very worst ‘cases in the shortest time possible. 'We say by all means give it a trial: Trial bottles ten cents.

The Vertical Feed, as now perfected and applied to “The New Davis Sewing Machine,” is admitted by the best living experts to be the greatest advance in sewing mechanism since the invention of Sewing Machines. “The Davis” does every variety of sewing possible with the old underfeed machines, and in addition it accomplishes an “immense range of beautiful work utterly impossible for any other Machine to duplicate,” which is convincing proof of the superiority over all competitors. The simplicity, ease of management and effectual manner in which'the “Vertical Feed” overcomes the “many faults and defects” of all underfeed machines is surprising. ‘ o ey b ~ Any one needing a Sewing Machine will regret having bought any other after seeing the “New Davis.” , : e o Machines in operation and for sale at F.
