Two years ago when he was elected by democratic votes, these sel f ' same papers were as dumb as oysters and had no words of encourage ment for the young man. In fact they did all they couid to defeat him. The New Era even anticipated the election of his apponent with but little trouble.

—During the past two weeks we have made a number of needed improvements in our office. = New paper and fresh paint have materially added to the comforts and looks of our den. We cordially invite all our friends to call upon us. —There is a move on foot to establish another grist mill here, and we hope to see it succeed. If the right man could get hold of the old Empire Mills at a reasonable figure, they can be so remodeled as to fill the wants of our people who are anxious for another custom mill. : | —We had occasion to use the services of a paper hanger lately and was fortunate in securing George Scoviil, commonly known as ‘‘Jake,” to do the work. It was done in a highly satisfactory manner. Is fact Mr. Scovill is a good workman and is reasonable in his prices. - —A gentleman who was in Cleveland last week called on F. W. Shinke and found him hard at work at mending. He has opened a little repair shop and is doing some custom work for customers he has already picked up. All reports that he has opened a big store with a fine stock is the silliest balder dash.

—We hope to see our town board use due discretion in the erection of a public building. There is a crying need for a public hall, a meeting place for the town board a safe place for the care of the town records, and other conveniences that have never been enjoyed by the town authovities. There must also be convenient and commodious sterage room for the fire apparatus, and arrangements for its care. There should be no pinch-penny policy in the erection of this building. Itshould be made a credit to the town, substantial, and architecturaly, no common affair. From expressions of members of the town board we are lead to believe that our citizens will not be disappointed.

They have an immense stock of goods and are offering some big bargains.

—Alexander Hamilton, one of the big fruit men of Allegan county, Mich., says there are 1,500,000 baskets of peaches now in sight in his section, in case the buds all get through. He claims to have made a personal canvass of the big orchards.

—We are told that the town is threatened with a law-suit if the town building is placed upon the public square. The sentiment at the meeting Monday night was in favor of testing the rights of the town in the courts if necessary, and from appearances it looks as if we are to be accommodated.

—At Aubnrn last Monday morning Mrs. A. G. Guiff, formerly a Miss Fogel, residing near Churqbusco, committed suicide by taking morphine. Her husband had been dissipated for some time. Dr. I. O. Buchtel was called in several hours after the woman had taken the poison but he could not overcome the effects of the drug. *—John Thompson, the Churubusco tough, who was accidentally shot in the brain by Ed. Runion, at Huntertown, is able to walk about thie streets of Churubusco, but can not speak a word. He has entirely lost the power of speech. The case puzzles the physicians and some of them say he may never speak again. —All maple sugar growers, in order to take advantage of the United States bounty bill, must file their notices and execute the bonds between April Ist, and July 1, 1891. The bounty will begin on the produet of the spring of 1892. There is no bounty on this year’s product and bounty cannot be claimed on less thanm 500 pounds of

sugar. 2 —There is considerable talk now-a-days upon the streets favoring the change of our town form cf government to that of a city. There are many advantages to be gained by a change, and we are inclined to favor the project. We would like an expression of ideas upon the subject. Of course there are two sides to the question and it should be well considered.

—While at Albion Monday we called at the office ot the county superintendent, but we found that he was in the country looking after the interests of the schools. Prof. Ohlwine is doing some excellent work, in fact he has ever performed his duties in a conscientious, careful and able manner. He informs us that he will soon be through his visits and that he will be able to make a very gratifying report at the next meeting of the county school officers.

—We again have the pieasure of calling the attention of our readers to the card of Dr. Bartley, who will be in Ligonier Tuesday, March 17th, from 8 a. m. to 1 p. m., and we would advise all those that have eye or ear trouble to call and. consult him, and those who entrust him can do so with confidence. Dr. Bartley will have a full line of glasses with him of the best quality,and he will guarantee a fit in every case. Consultation free at Ligonier House from 8 a. m. to 1. p. m. .—The republican organs hereabouts have been going into hysterics over the new eongressional and legislative apportionment, and have taken occasion to make an arrangement of the counties in this part of the state that was not even thought of by the most impracticable. This district remains as it has been for years, in fact, no changes at all were made in the Northern Indiana districts. The only way that Noble county is affected by the new apportionment is. the loss of a joint representative. The counties of Elkhart and Kosciusko will hereafter be entitled to the joint representative-

—The case of the state agcainst Dr. Luella Day for abortion, was called in the circuit court yesterday, as it was allegéd that Dr. Day and the main prosecuting witness in behalf of the state had become husband and wife. The doctor showed her certificate to prove this. The statute makes it incompetent for a husband or wife to testify against the other, and therefore the state was knocked out of the box in one round. Dr. Day now lives in Indianapolis. —Elkhart Review.

—We have no news concerning the €hicago railway extension. It was given out some time ago that work would begin about the first of this month. The project by no means has been abandoned, and we presume and believe, that as soon as the weather settles, operations will hegin. The tightness of the money market hindered immediate operations, after the stockholders concluded to build. Bonds for $3,500,000 could not be floated readily, hence the delay; besides, large bodies moye slow.—Montpelier (Ohio) Enterprise. :

- —We are gratified to note the awakening regarding the needs of a public building. For several months THE BANNER has been fighting for this needed improvement. While we are disappointed in the sentiment in favor of the location of the structure upon the park, we are gratified at the certainty of the needed building being provided. Cavin street could have been greatly improved by the erection of that buildinz upon one of the several vacant lots near Smith’s livery stable, which could have becen purchased at a reasonable figure. :

—Fish Commissioner Dennis in his eport for 1890, speaking of the system of lakes in Northeastern Indiana, says: “It is entirely safe to say that there are in the counties of Steuben,DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble and Kosciusko more than one thousand lakes, having an area of ten acres or over. There are by actual enumeration three hundred and twelve lakes in Noble county, with an area of five acres or more, in every one of which nearly all the varieties of our best fish are found, and in almost all black bass abound. These lakes occupy the highest grounds in the state, geographically, and seem to have been huddled together there in the corner of the state as if to keep them out of harm’s way. It is worthy of remark that not a single lake is found south of the Wabash or in that part of the state occupied by the river system.’’ : ;

—Monday evening quite a large number of the citizens and tax-payers of the town meet at the rooms of the town board, where they were asked to express an opinion regarding the proposed erection of a town building. The sentiment expressed was overwhelmingly in favor of placing the building upon Cavin Park, at least that was what all the leading tax-pay-ers and older men seemed to want and we suppose the building will be placed there as the members of the town board seemed to fall in with the suggestions. We have always contended that building upon Cavin Park was all wrong and yet hold to that opinion. But Ligonier must haye a public building, and a good one, consequently we think that there should be no more quibbling over the site. The building should be erected at once, somewhere, and as the citizens and town board seem to Elace no‘hi'gher value upon the park than to use it as a kind of a dumping rlace for old rubbish, a hitching place and cess-pool, it may be well to ornament it with something at least more attractive than its present encumbrances. ==

—Last Saturday Samuel Juday, a Benton township farmer missed his pocket book containing over one hundred dollars in cash and some valuable papers. About this time it was also noticed that Chas. McConnel, a young Englishman who had been working for Mr. Juday tor several weeks, was also not to be found. The officers here and at Goshen were appraised of the theft and a look-out was kept for the thief. Sunday morning McConnel was caught at Elkhart where he was aboutto board a train for the west. The money was all recovered and on Monday he was taken to Goshen, where he was tried at once for his crime and he has already begun to serve out a three years sentence. McConnel has not been in this country very long. He worked for awhile near Ligonier and was thought to be a nice young man. —Last Friday, Jim Hanshew, who lives west of town, sold a cow, receiving the pay in cash. He came to tewn early in the day and towards night had pretty well filled his hide with a choice mixture of rot gut and beer. All endeavors by his neighbors to get him to go home to his family were fruitless and he was allowed to remain to finish his debauch. At this time it is said that he still had considerable money in his pockets. Several hours later he was found wandering around upon the streets by nigchtwatch Seitz and he had no money. He says he was robbed and all circumstances point in that direction, as no one who is acquainted with the fellow can think for a moment that he succeeded in blewing in the $20.00 he started out with in so short a time. The grand jury might find something to interest them in this matter.

Pleasantly Remembered. Commissioner elect John B. Renkenberger was sixty years of age last Suneay, and his friends did not forget it. When he wus at church his children and a delegation from the Sabbath school took possession of his pleasant farm howe, spread a sumptueus dinner and upon his return home Mr. Renkenberger was as pleasantly surprised as it is possible to be. Full justice was' done to the toothsome dinner, and a number of useful presents were given him as a token of the esteem and love in which he is held. It was an occasion of unmarred pleasure, and will long be remembered. Mr. Renkenberger settled on the farm where he now lives in 1852, and cast his first vote for President Pierce. During his long residence here he has gained a host of steadfast friends, who sincerely wish him ma.tll\%r happy returns of the day.—Avilla News. :
