McDONALD, Local Editor. ‘ X Whigor gl 00l ks 1 ately preceeding or following the written nn]t'ne wll} anderstand that the time for { which they have paid has expired, oris “about toexpire,and that if they desire torecelve the panerthey muat remit immediately. " BALUTATORY. : Ln this laterage the world has grown to be a great interrogation point. A man can no longer say that sugar is sweet, but that some respectable citizen hops ‘up and asks why. Nobody. thinks of writing a book without giving the reasons therefore in an elaborate preface. Nobody embarks in a new undertaking without telling the people ‘why he does 80 and what his object is.. So custom has made it in‘cumbent upon every man who exPecbs to strut his brief hour -uppn the stage to announce beforehand on the programme whether he will be an Tago or a Dromio. : : i

In obedience to the custom, I desire briefly to announce what my aims and expectations were in connecting my future with this establishment and with the people of Noblecounty. While " I have readily subscribed to the saying “That a poet is born, not made,” I have not th))ught it true of any other calling. That was a grand old Roman knight who said, “J’ll find a way or - make oune,” and I have always believed " that there was no measure of success that a man might not attain by unjtir-/1 ing industry and zeal. It is my ‘aim and expectation.to make the editorial profession my life work, but‘do not ex--pect to reach success at a single bound, a 8 Minerva 'sprang in fplanoply from the brain of Jove. I shall be content if, after years of*labor I shall be enabled to, voice the sentiments of the wise men of the Jand upon topics religious, political and social,, Before I reach that -point, however, weary - days of observation and study lie before me. [ have had (it expressly agreéed that the present editor ot this paper shall have exclusive control of its editorial columnsg, while . I have assumed charge of the 16cal department. .My aim shall be toh“récord the doings | and to chronicle the wise and witty sayings of individuals of this county.

While under my ‘control these columns shall not be used for the venting of malice or-spleen, the traducing of citizens, the/ circulation of that which is base and vile, or the disparagement of those sentiments of morality which somehow find lodgment in the hearts of all good people. In short, it shall be my endeavor to Keep Tig BANNER up\to its former high standard of excellence. To some this may seem an easy task, and yet comparatively few realize how dificult the undertaking. The gentleman who has heretofore had ¢harge of these columns was 80 .eminently ﬁtﬁed to the performance of this work that 1 very much distrust my ability to maintain that kigh standard of .excellence. Would it be asking too much tg beg your indulgence for a time until the harness fits my back and the cellar shapes itself to my shoulders? What hope have lin all this? The | hope that T may meet with your forbearghce and kindness; the hope. that ; ‘b\efure hprsh judgment is passed upon ~my work you will put yourself in my place ‘and see what you would have done under like circumstances; the hope that between us as citizens of the same county may grow up feelings of friendship and mutual assistance; the hope that, as years go by, I may merit your approval and your good wishes; the bope that while I am glad to come ‘to you, you may not regret my coming. I have always felt— _ f ‘ "« He either fears his fate tog much, ©Or his desert is small, i . Who will not put it to the touch } . To win or lose it all.”

' To a certain extent a stranger in “your midst, I trust in time to be found worthy of your confilence and of your respect. I hope that in thus having put my fate to the touch, you will respond by giving me a fair chance to win. 1 bave no reason tosuspect that you wiil ‘do otherwise. With that faith I have come among you. Let us hope that the future Igay see us min-7ling,-together without murmurings . without heart-burnings, all intent ?; _the common good and thesurvi- . 4 the fittest. L £ {;:r the words of cheer and good 1 already spoken, and for the kind4. reception given me and mine, I tender you my profound acknowledgment. - JAs. E. MI{cDONALD.

MURDER AT MIsHAWAKA.—Joseph Calmer, a young man of. twenty-one years, was shot by some unknewn assassin, Sunday morning, while in his room at his home in Mishawaka. The people had been up watching the old year out, and at ten minutes past’ twelve young Calmer went to ‘his room, and. immediately after a shot was heard, accompanied by the sound of a falling body.” Members of the family! hurried to his room and found him lying unconscious, with the blood ooz~ ing from a bullet hole about an inch above the left eye. The shot was fired through the window. There 'iB no clue to the murderer. The unfortunate man had no known enemies, and the affair is a complete mystery. / R

_ —Timothy O! How(e) is your P. M. G,? : % : z“h‘l(""b' 4 3 —%r. Knepper did not dine with. Judge Wood o@~sﬂurday. Why? _ —Revival meetings are held i the M. E. Church each evening this week; "also at 2 o’clock P. M. of each day. An encouraging amount of interest is shown, ° * —Our “merchant on wheels,” Eli Kaufmann, made his appearance on' Friday. last, but sognghad to succumbi to the influence of the malaria through which he had passed in his travels. —Arrangements have been made by which our citizens may have the beriefit of a series of lectures this winter. Flve lecturers haye already been secured, among whom may be mentioned the name of Ann Eliza Young.

’ —Prof. D. D. Luke will deliver a lec‘ture at“ Sycamore Hall, next Friday evening (Jan. 6). Subjsct: “The Assassin in History.,” We predict a crowded house for the Professor, and an interesting lecture for the audience. —A violin class has been organized: in this place under the leadership of one of our prominent citizens. The class is made up of some of the best ‘talent in Ligonier. The selections for primary practice have not been made as yet. . : %

:—A man must have a superabundance of cheek who will, after getting his feet into a pair of good overshoes, walk out, notwithstanding the protestations of a modest clerk who asks for the return of, the shoes or the money in payment. 'y —The boys’xare DOwW enjoying a season of splendid skating, as all the ponds in the vicinity are covered with beautiful sheets of ice. The vacation of the schools allows them ample time to ‘get the requisite amount of sport, which, by the way, is not measured by any known rule. '

—TLaporte will scon be able to boast of one of the finest Opera Houses in the State, outside of Indianapolis. The people of that enterprising town will no doubt appreciate this step toward their advancement and the improvement in the class of entertainments that will necessarily follow.

—There is a law prohibiting the carrying of fire armsby-boys, buta strang‘er might have received a different impression last Saturday evening, judging from the action of certain boys. Several houses were fired into by the miscreants. There was altogether too much bad whisky consumed that night.

—The band boys should not feel discouraged and disheartened by the financial disappointment incident to their festival. ‘They should remember that old maxim, “If at first ycu don’t succeed,” &c., and we feel that the money needed to liquidate the debt Langing over them will be forthcome, -

—The buildings ¢f the South Bend Malleable Iron works are finished and work begins this week. Additions will be commenced in a week or two, to be fimished by April. Mr. E. D. Meagher, formerly of this place, is at the head of the enterprise,. and. work is .being pushed forward with the utmost vigor. |

—Considerable ‘anxiety at present prevails among} farmers in different parts of the Suﬂte ‘relative to wheat planted in the-fall. The exceedingly mild weather has caused it to com mence growing, and it is now feared that fully one-half the amount sown is rotting at'the roots, or has beén de. stroyed by the Hessian fly. , —Romantic young scouples will now ind some difficulty in crossing the line to get married in Michigan, as the new law there puts a’stop tosuch pro-: ceedings, Heretofore runaway boys and girld have had no trouble in getting married and no questions asked; but the course of true love will not run 80 smoothly now by any means. A Methodjst minister in Berrian county was recently fined $5O for marrying a couple under age. : .—We were sorry to learn that the‘ festival given by the Ligonier Cornet Band was not a 'success fnancially. Such an outcome was not merited by ‘the boys, as they have labored assiduously toreach their present high standard of excellence. They should have received better support and. appreciation from the citizens, who should realize that Ligonier has an organization difficult to excel, both in appearance and in point of musical ability. —When an individual is spoiling for a fight, and is hunting for a subject upon whichto demonstrate his pugilistic ability, he is gendrally successful in finding the object of his search. Saturday evening saw. the searcher sought (by his friends.) He (the searcher) had evidently made a mistake in the identity of the person, as it seems he was not, the one wanted. The outcome of the affair caused some little | excitement, but no arrests were made. ~—During the outburst of enthusiasm fncidenh to the advent of the new year, some very careless handling of fire arms occurred. One of the shots fired went into the sleeping apartment of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scott, alarming them somewhat, as might be supposed. Another went through the front window of Culveyhouse’s gunshop. This indiscriminate use of firearms on such occasions 18 uncalled for and should never bea part of gny such demonstration, as the liability of aceident is too great. —llt is a good idea for everybody engaged in business to figure up, at the end of the year, the amount of business transacted, and the gains made daring that period. The proprietress of the Ladtes’ Bazaar has kept accurate account of the dresses made in that establishment during the year 1881, and ﬁ(,nds that one hundred and eighty-five (185) dresses were completed, besides a large number of sacques, Dolmans, &c. This speaks well for an establishment that does not indulge in blowing its own praises. . - —The members of the Ligonier Cornet Band made a -number of ‘calls on New Years. We were among the favored, On their card we notice the names of Lon. D. Fleming, John C. Sack, Geo. N. Brown, D. E. Scott, Jas, ‘Beazle, Norris Teal, Geo. Sack, jr., H. Higginbotham, I. O. Buchtel, Samuel Krichbauro, A, Bush, A. A. Harter, A. L. Fordyce, 0. P. Emery, Wm. Fon-| dersmith, F. O. Gerber, Homer Miler, ‘A. L. Knepper, A. M. Belts, Harry Inks and Theo. Buchtel. Do not wait satil another New Years 1o again mako your appearsnce. ¢

. —Haye you learned yet to write 8822 ~ : “—How do you like the appearance of this weels BANNKER? Does it Suit . —The new saw mill of €. R. Graves, in Lagrange county will be in active operation by the last of March. : —The first person to have credit for subseription to THE BANNER under the new firm, is John A. Witson, of Chap‘man, Kansas. 5 ; —After the Knepper reception the band serenaded the newly - married couples—Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Rice and Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Agee. . - '—We again urgently request clergymen to send us all notices of marriages that may be solemnized by them, A postal card will answer for that pure pose. ;

—Mr. J. E.Kane’s “Naiad Queen” will be gfven in this city in about two weeks by ‘home talent,Mrs. Kane in the title role. More extended: notice next week. g

—Peter Elser has succeeded A. J. Denlar in the restaurant business at Albion, and now has a baker who bakes the best bread ever manufactured in that town. - i

—-Do not forget the Christian social at the residence of Mrs. Galloway. Such refreshments as pie and coffee will be found among the attractions. We promise you a good time, -

—Oar “Roll of Honor” for December makes a very respectable appearance. The patrons of THE BANNER responded nobly to our modest request for a settlement - before the close of the year. ;

—The society event of the season at South Bend was the marriage of Miss Mary R. Studebaker,eldest daughter of Péter E. Studebaker, to Mr. Nelson J, Riley, of St. Joseph, Mo. The list of presents was very lengthy and.composed of articles of usefulness and value. !

—On New Years eve a party of serenaders halted in front of the residence of the senior editor and discoursed some splendid music. On a card found attached 'to the door beHl were found the following names: H. B4gum, James D. Casey, Wm. McDonald, J. W. Haley, A. Urich and J. Bowman. : g

—Our physicians are now prepared to furnish such as have been vaceinated with certificates of vaceination. These certificates were printed at this office, and we wish to say to physicians residing outside of the town that. certificates”will be furnished to those desiring them at twenty-five cents per hundred. :

- —The citizens should take an interest in the Lecture-Asgociation, as the individuals who have taken an interest in this matter by becoming responsible for the financial part of tha ‘entertainment should be well supported. As only a limited number of tickets will be sold, it will be’ well for those wishing to procure seats to pay ihmediate attention to the matter.

—Col: S. M. Zent, one of our townsmen, will this week leave for Columbia City, where he will engage in the ‘manufacture of the “Monitor” roaster, an invention of the Colonel’s for roasting all kinds of meat and fowls, The mvention is an ingenious onc, and we -are sure the Colonel will make a success of it. He will not remove his family to that place until spring. —Upron the return'.of A. L. Knepper and lady, on Thursday evening tuey were tendered a grand reception at the residence of J. M. Knepper. It is hardly necessary to say than an enjoyable evening was spent by those present, and that the)" were regaied in the early part of the evening by a magnificent supper, such as only can be served by the worthy hostess. - ‘The Ligonier Cornet Band, of which Mr. Knepper is a ‘member, enlivened the occasion with some of their fine selections. €

’The Edltress:_a;l;llments to “iClk- ; hart.” ¢ “RElkhart,” the brilliant (?) comet §in the world of teachers, is restive under criticism, as may be seen by his brief (?) remarks in the Albion Era of last week. Ile objects to having his programmes criticised. He seesno reason why the average teacher may not discuss “ancient subjects” learnedly and exhaustively. And indeed, since our attention has been called to the matter, if “Elkhart” or any other teacher has honored “Niagara Fal]s” by a visit, it is but natural that he should be anxious 'to air his extensive (?) knowledge. - Or if another has been industriously disturbing thelongburied bones of a dead and gone people who had hoped for rest in the grave, what more natural than that he should immediately proceed to enlighten the teachers’ minds in regard to *Mound Builders” We have no objection to the discussion of “Macaulay,” as by that means “Elkhart” may in time learn to spell that good old historian’s name correctly. The “Glaciers” might prove dn appropriate subject for such hot-headed teachers as “ Elkhart ” has shown himself, and the discussion of “Pestolozzi” would no ‘doubt _result in the everlasting improvement of the youth of Elkhart township. By -the way, if “Elkhart” would confine himself more studiously. to the pages of his speller and dictionary, instead of groveling in the graves of “Mound Builders,” much more good ‘might conduce to, his individual advantage. i %

NEW YEAR CALLS.—It* has become a well-established custom to pass a good share of the first day of the new year in calling -upon one’s friends. Some go in squads, and others show their selfishness by going it alone. The calls, however, are generally made in the e'vening. The Ligonier boys, with few exceptions, went together in parties, ane of which, made up of P. H. Mull, Mose Hecht, Pat E.Casey, J. W. | Haley, W. W. Wood and SBam Loeb, needs especial mention. They, perhaps in anticipation of arelaxation of their systems after so many calls, hired a dray, to which for variety was hitched an antiquated mule and a forlorn resemblance of a horse. The dray was seated with chairs, a high sideboard keeping them' in place and adding materially to the general appearance of the outfit. Their plug- hats awakened memories of the long-forgotten past, while the cards presented to the favored ones somewhat resembled the bill of fare of a free-lunch counter. The party no doubt had a large measure of sport and altogether a pleasant time

The boys have got a contract with Hamilton & Gallup to cut 120,000 feet near Lima. Miss Ida White, as one of the characters'in the play, “Our Boys,” which has been played at ‘the Literary hall for three nigh's, did some very fine acting. It is doubtful if there are many professionals that could excel Miss White .in the character of “A Lodging House Slave.” Who will be our next township trustee? - Alexis says that George T. Brothwell’s friends will urge his nom ination. On this side of the township we hear the name of John C. Schermerhorn mentioned in connection with this office. There is also a dark horse or two in training, begides one or two who have been troubled with a chronic hankering after the office for some years. At present it would be hard to tell who will be our next trustee. Of the*two whose names we have given, either would make an efficient officer. - A friend of ours Informs us that last week’s issue of the New Era contains a three-column article written by an Elkhart township . pedagogue as a reply to a -criticism offered by us some ‘time ago, concerning a bogus programme of an Elkhart township institute. After we have been permitted to peruse the said article, if pvot utterly confused or totally annihilated, perhaps we shall open another bombardment upon that bogus programme and its brave defepder. : Lo SKUTOFF,

Greetings from kilinois. ; ATLANTA, Logan Co., 111., Déc. 29, ’Bl, EDITOR BANNER:—Euclosed please find $2 as subseription for the coming year and 95 cents for arrears. -Altho’ it would not be amiss to eulogizg the many good qualities of THE BANNER, I will 'only say for the encouragement of its localizers that they help greatly to make it interesting to those away from their old home and friends, and hope they will continue in well doing And now, if acceptable, I will say a few words to anyof my old fiiends who may feel interested in cur wel fare. We have a home beautifully gituated in the country, two and a half miles from Atlanta, a town of about 2,000 inhabitants, situated on the Chi cago & Alton and Midland Railroads, twenty miles south of Bloomingion and thirty nerth of Springfield. Although struggling under a heavy railroad tax, business is quite lively, and when the coal shaft now in prospectis completed 1t will be a great manufacturing point. Especially would a sash, door and planing mill do wel], including a lumber yard. I havehad aspleu did run of work at my trade this summer, with a flattering prospect of its continuing through the winter shoulo the weather remain favorable, and at excelient wages, too. I can say I lik: Suckerdom first rate, except the adhesiveness of the soil in wet weather. The corn in this and McLean counties was good. Potatoes and fruit of all kinds scarge. Wlheat is looking well. Grass is green and growing. No feed~ ing has been done yet. Typhoid and lung fever plenty and small-pox scarce. Hence vaccination enough, if not too much. Forp BAILEY. —All the knowledge we receive, all the pleasure we enjoy, all the pain we suffer, comes through one of the five senses, This, we believe, is 2 universally admitted proposition, but the question which grows out of this, viz: Is an existence of universal pleasure when pain is unknown, or an existence of universal pain when pleasure is unknown, possible? Does not the existence of one extreme prove the existence of the other? is one on which great minds differ, and which we shall nos attempt to argue, but simply call your attention to the ?act— that of the five senses, Sight is the most priceless, and as soon as you find it failing go at once to J.

| = Fire Protection. o - The town of Sullivan (Ind:) was visited by the fire fiend on Christmas Eve;, in the neighborhood of $40,000 Worth of property being consumed- within about three hours’ time. Incommenting on the disaster, the Democrat of that place says: o i ‘

_ “The probability is that the town author. ities will now take some steps towards providing some protection against fire, and that since the horse is stolen the stable door will be securely locked.' 1t is umnnecessary that this paper should reiterate its oft-repeated warnings and suggestions on this subject. A clear-headed diroctor is needed to assume command of workers, A couple of engines with hose, haoks-and ladders; &c., will cost some money, but-a fire like that of Sunday night costs a eood! deal more.” ¢ i

It is not our purpose, in giving space to this extract, to create alarm or evep. to make a suggestion with reference to the necessity of providing ‘scme kind of protection against: the rav‘ages of the fire demon. The people of this town have their own notions concerning that matter, and will; in all probability, adhere to them until disaster shall some day work a revolution in public sentiment.. We publish what our Sullivan contemporary has to say solely for the purpose of reminding| our citizens of the fact that destruc:| tive conflagrations will and do take i place, and that it is the -part of wis-| dom to be prepared for-an emergency.|:

| .- ADeadly Deed. } From the Fort Clark News, a paper ,lpublisb'ed at Brackett, Texas, we glean Ithe following facts in regard to the lfshooting. of John Piggott, a former res{ident of this county: “Onthe 18th of |December, 1881, John Piggott -was shot |and dangerously wounded while at his place of business at Devil’s River. But one shot was fired, the ball entering the back a little -above the hip, and producing a wound that resulted in his death 'in less than two hours. Two men, L. S. Beacon and one Bartlett, were.arrested. - From the evidence it would seem that one of these mengis the guilty party. Mr. Pigott was universally esteemed by his neighbors, and a feeling of great indignation prevails throughout .the entire community. He leaves a wife and one child to mourn his loss.” His aged parents are still living in this community, and the sympathy of all Who know them goes out to the bereaved ones. _

Yet,.how very.easy can all this be avoided by simply using Dr. King’s New.: Discovery -for Consumption, Coughs “and Colds. = Trial bottles given away at Scott & Son’s drug store. ;
