THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1880

| —TLay politics aside long enough _next week to attend the Noble County Fair. ; ,

—Go to Albion next Wednesday and hear Wisconsin’s great statesnian, Hon. James R. Doolittle. .

—One week from next Tuesday the State and county election will take place.- Are you ready for the battle?

—Corn will be a much better crop than was expected and there is a fair probability of the price materially declining./ ' '

- —Everybody admits that as a local and general news paper, THE BANNER stands in ‘the front rank of country journals. -

—Don’t forget the Townsend Dramatic Co."at Union Hall, October Bth and 9th. They give a splendid entertainment. i :

—No man surpasses Hon. James R, Doolittle as a powerful, logical and convincing stump speaker. Go and hear him at Albion next Wednesday.

—-It is said that Bro. Tomlin insists that the rebellion must be suppressed just 829 times in order tokeep itdown. ‘We do not vouch for the absolute correctness of the report. i —lt is a rare opportunity to hear a man of Judge Doolittle’s ability discuss the political issues of the day. The opportunity of hearing him now presents itself. He will speak at Albion next Wednesday. ~ . —There is not a newspaper printed in the United States -nor a text book used 1n our public schools the cost of which is not increased by the duty: on paper and pulp. Mr. Garfield prevented the reduction of that tax. This is one of the reasons why he claims support as “the friend of the people.” 1 —Generals Grant and Logan passed through this place last Monday. night, on the 10:40 train, en route to Warren, Ohio. The fact of*these distinguished gentlemen passing through here was known to only a few. Had ‘it been generally known no less than 329 persons wofild have gone to the depot.

—We agres with our contemporary of the Washiugton Democrat, that boys or men of any party, who disturb a political meeting should be promptly suppressed. Tearing down political posters'oricutting down political flag poles is .another species of ruffianism that deserves severe punishment. We hope no one claiming to be ‘a Democrat will be guilty of such disgraceful conduect. ; ; .

- —Money in a political campaign is a necessary ingredient. The Republicans of this county appear to have plenty of it and they are using it without stint. We are informed that they have sent word, to several of their voters whogare now out of the State that if they” will ‘return to vote all their expenses shall be paid from the corruption fund they have on hand. If money will do it, évery man will be brought home to vote the Republican.ticket. —The Supreme Court of Indiana, in the case of State ex. rel. Hamijlton vs. Forkner, as'to the destination of liquor license fees,held last March that the fee went into the general school fund ot the State, to be invested and the interest apportioned among the counties. for, tuition purposes. On re-hearing, and under the construction of the ‘liquor law of 1875, given by the court, it is now held that the license fees belong to the tuition fund of the county in which the fees are paid. : ——At the last meeting of the Town Council, an ordinance was passed to fence, grade and, otherwise improve that part.of the public square lying east of Main street, There was also an ordinance passed, upon a petition of the property owners on Main street, to improve said street by putting in stone gutters on each side, leaving a gpace of eight feet from the edge of the sidewalk to be made into a lawn or plat of grass. With Main street thus improved, and the public square converted from a nuisance into a park, the appearance of our town will be much improved.

- —Wherever democratic meetings are held in this county the people turn 7" out in greater numbers and manifest more interest than they have ever been known to do heretofore. Thereis a determination on the part of Demo‘crats to succeed in the county, State and national election and properly re- - buxke the fraud that was practiced upon them four years ago. Judging from - present indications Noble county 1s ‘- " good for 200 majority for Frank Landers for Governor, and when the No- ~ vember election comes, if Gen. Hancock does not walk off with 300 solid majority we will miss our guess. badly.| There i 8 a tide in favor of Democracy | -this year that cannot be stemmed. A change of administration in national affairs is demanded and it is going to - come with a whirl. 1 | —Wae publish elsewhere in this issue ~an abstract of the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Harden: ~ brook aud others against Martin V. B, Sherwood, guardian of Edward Wal-} - burn. By a reference to the report the - history of the case, with the points | raised in the Supreme Court, can be learned. There was a long trial in the _ Noble Circuit Court,and Walburn was "‘successful. The other side has now got a reversal of the judgment. This decigion subjects Walburn to the payment of the costs in both courts and leayes the case just where it com- - menced. The Supreme Court holds . that the complaint in the case is insufficient. It does not follow, howgver, that able counsel;in this case have carelessly drawn the complalnt, but - rather that the Court is falling in line with some decisions of other States in hoéding lunatics liable on a judgment confessed in the absence of fraud or

solicitation by the judgment plaintiff, The Judge in this case remarks that . Walburn, in sigring his name as bail, *{ did more than enter into a contract—“he confessed & judgment. There will now have to be another trial. = - Doolittle at Albion next Wednesday.

Coldren & Gaby, Brimfield.

—lt was something of a novelty, to be sure, to witness a colored geutlem?in deliver a speech before a democratic meeting. Verily, the world moves. Republicans should not be mad about it, however. :

—Three hickory poles were raised in town last Saturday—one in front of: the residence of Sol. Mier, a huge one (144 feet) in front of Wm. Hills’, and one in front of THE BANNER office. This is' the largest pumber of democratic poles ever raised in Ligonier.

—>Some contemptible sneak cut the flag rope to Mr. Hills’ pole in such a way as to barely hold it together, the calculation evidently having been to prevent the ralsing of the flag. Fortunately the dirty trick was discovered 1n time to frustrate the designs of the knave who did the cutting. —The meeting at Avilla last Saturday afternoon and evening was a glorious success. Gov. Williams, Gen, Munson and Col. Williams spoke to a large audience and left the people in excellent spirit for the great contest in Qctober. The 329 party will be badly snowed under in Allea township. —AI Hardenbrook says the public square would have been. fenced long ago 1f he could have got a little stiffening in'to some of his colleagues when he was a member of the town council. Al. belieyes 1n beautifying the town wherever' and whenever the same can be done without detriment to the general public. '

A few doses of Hill’s Buchu will relieve the severest cases of Kidney Complaint, —The extraordinary efforts made by our republican friends to attract a large crowd to the Ingersoll meeting in this place last Friday, proved measurably successful, though, .candidly speaking, we looked for a much larger turn-out. People came from a distance ot thirty miles, and yet the demonstration was by no means equal to that of the Democrats at Kendallville last Monday. Thespeaking took place in Hostetter’s grove. Mr. Ingersoll’s 'voice was in bad order, but he succeeded nevertheless in entertaining his large audience. Thers was nothing particularly new in his address, yet it aoubtless elated the majority of his hearers.. The merits of the speech may be thus classified: One-fourth of it was soundly democratic, one-fourth golidly republican, one-fourth a plea for free thought, and one-fourth party buncomb. .We trust our republican friends are fully satisfied with Ingersoll's visit. They say so little about it that we do not know whether they are or not. 1 -

~ —Contrary to the most sanguine expectations, the democratic meeting last Saturday turned out very satisfactorily in every particular. So many Democrats were in town the day prior to hear Ingersoll that but little was expected. Yet a very fair gathering assembled in the school house square and listened attentively for over two bours to an exceedingly able speech by Col. Charles S. Cameron. But the night ‘meeting surprised everybody by its formidable dimensions, The torchlight procession numbered over two hundred torch-bearers, all from this and Sparta townships. The demonstration was highly gratifying to the Democrats. B. F. Tolbert, a colored lawyer of .Goshen, delivered a solid democratic speech of about an hour, which was received with repeated manifestations of applause. Colonel Cameron closed the exercises with 4 masterly speech of nearly an hour, dealing out facts that must have been very annoying to thosé who deem it their special duty to traduce and walign the people of the South in particular and the demoeratic party in general. The H. &E. Glee Club rendered several songs in excellent style, SHEETS & WERTHEIMER ~ Have received their entire fall stock and are at the command of their customers and the public in general.
