He has thoroughly overhauled and rearranged everything about the place and it is now as clean and tidy a place as can he found in this part of the state.

Some days agojhe wrote a letter-to a Republican saloon keeeer here saying that he had heard that Charley Iriks wanted to bet five hundred dollars on Cleveland’s election, and if it wasso he would come down. In our opinion he had better stay at home, for he would doubtless have to borrow his car fave, and furthermore Charley Inks does not bet on elections, and while he honestly believes that Cleveland will be our next President is not backing up his cpinions with a few paltry dollars. He believes as.

+ —We can rot be too careful in our selection of men to transact our county business. ' Upon tha democratic cougty* ticket is presented the names of two excellent men for commissioners, John H. Ely and Wm. A, Davis. They merit the.support of every voter in the.county, and will doubtlsss get a large majority of them. —M. Jacobs & Co. still take the lead in Gent’s furnishing goods.

—We are in recept of a copy of the Rome City Clipper, the new paper just started at the Saratoga of the west, by Messrs. Bowman & Teal, two young typos. The columns are full of gpicy locals and it bids fair to make a good ,-locEl paper. We hope that the patronage will be enough to keep, it alive a little longer at least than its predecessors in that fieid of labor. ~—M. Jacobs & Co. have the finest line of men’s and boys’ underwear in the market. - :

—Mrs. F. G. White, wife of the comedian, ranks fully his equal:as an actress. Every part she takes, grave or gay, is rendered so well as to be not only above criticism, but to entitle her to shine as a’bright particular star in a‘galaxy of stars.

—Last Thursday evening quite a large crowd gathered in front of the foundry when they were addressed by Mr, William Culveyhouse, for nearly an hour. He talked of politics mainly, but did not forget to make some pretty hard thrusts at the individual who crowed so loudly over the misfortune that befell those who had worked so hard to raisethe pole, The crowd was in entire sympathy with Mr. C. as he was many times interrupted by applauge.

He says if the election was to take place now Ohio would be Democratic by 15,000, but that an unlimited number of two dollar bills may change the result. —Howard’s new opera house at Albion was opened to the public last Friday evening by a home troupe under the direction of a professional. They rendered the “Dead Witness” to crowded houses. As we have before remarked the opera heuse is indeed a credit to Albion.

. —Some days since we received a private letter from a well known justaunch Republican ‘who was a few years since one of .the leading educa‘tors of Indiana. After saying a great deal about matters connected with ‘educational interests, he remarks: *I suppose that you are more interested upon the political issues’of the day than anything else. However, upon this topic, we perhaps should not agree very well, hence I will only remark (by way of parathesis) that Blaine’s letter develops the fact that the Indianapolis Sentinel! was very closely upon his heels. It came very nearly the truth. = While I do not see anything dishonorable in that early career of his, I do think he did not show the good sense that he is accredited with in not “telling the truth” immediately.” Thousands of thinking Republicans know in their hearts that Mr. Blaine wilfully - lied when ke sent that miserable dispatch that stan ds'in black type at the head of 80 many of

—The Ligonier band went to Go shen last Friday evening. They did not take any of the good music along, owing to an accident last Thursday. When the band reunion broke up at Rome City the box containing .the music. was loaded ;on a dray, to be haulad to the hotel.

In answer to a telegram, it was sent home by express last Monday.

—Betting on election or on anything else is a poor businbss, and should not be indulged in.. But the sneak who will go around securing bets in order to deprive voters on the othsr side of the right of suffrage by challenge on this ground, is about as small a specimen of humanity as could be found. Such a man would be a - disgrace tc an party. We may add that it looks to us like mighty small business of looking up election bets for purposes of prosecution. The fellows that buy and sell are the ones the la w should take hold of.—[Elkhart Sentinel. S

He is a whole show himself. He has played in Arcola many times and has always been the same jolly, fun-loving F. G.. Tarn out and give him an ovation.—Exchange. ol

- —Harry J. Mensch, propriétor of the Sylvan Lake hotel at Rome City, is now stopping just across the Michigan line. For some months his hotel at Rome City has been losing patronage, and in every way going down hill. It seems thatduring the past summer: he has been running a saloon under a Government license, but in doing so he has violated the law so often that the grand jury could have had a whole sessions business in finding indictments against him’ alone. Kﬁowing, as he did, that things were generally in bad shape, Mensch pulled up stakes, and isnowat Kalazmazoo, Michigan, superintending a railroad lunch counter. The furniture i heavily mortgaged to Fort Wayne parties, and it will be only a few days before the establishment will be closed or put under other management. | —Each season brings -with it many changes in styles of standard patterns of dress goods, and equally as many entirely new designs The ladies in Ligoanier and Noble county are coannoiseurs in such-matters, and they ars holding- matinees daily in E.

White’s Joshua Whitecomb., - Joshua Whiteomb, when well delineated is always popular with American theater goers. Our citizens last evening'had an opportunity of seeing it rendered by one of the most eminent comedians on the American stage. Mr. F. G. White is a born comedian and years of study have added to his genius laurel crowns. JLast evening he was immense. The honest,shrewd and noble old farmer, unused to the ways of the world was before us in the native simplicity, with a flavor of the farm that was lirresistible. No one could follow the character through the trials he had to endure without, rejoicing when in the closing scene the clouds lifted and the young lawyer ‘‘got his gruel.” We advise our citizens who want 8 genuine treat to hear Mr. White before heleaves the city, It will remaia o red lettet day in the salendat of every one who does 80, Exchasgs .. oo e

All departments are well tilled. TFloral hall, especially, is well filled with mmost beautiful articles of all kinds. Embroidery, nsedle work and paintings embellish the walls, while the inferior iz taken up with numerous objects of interest. Agricultural hall was never better filled with the produets of the farm and garden than i§ is at this time, and many of the entries are well worth the price of admissicn to the grounds. The show of live stock would be a credit to sny state fair, Thousands of dollars’ worth of fine stock is shown, every stall being occupied. No one should miss seeing this display of stock, that was never equaled in northern Indiana. We are indeed sorry that our space wiil not allow a more extended mention, but next week we will give considerable space to the subject.. e e

—Last Tuesday afternoon the friends of the writer of the Mulligan letters, to the number of a score or more, assembled at Uriah Ramsbhy’s corners, on the Hawpatch and erected a 70-foot tamarack pole. It wasa very solemn affair, and the doom that awaits the tattooed candidate must have been apparent to the crowd, as the quietness of the whole proceeding was not marred by a single cheer or the least bit of enthusiasm. - One of the brothers proposed the doxology but none was given.
