W, Wisdom, of Lynnville, was at Winslow last Saturday. He looks well and is happy. It Is not only warm but hot. We think we have the warmest place, and oar neighbors thinks likewise.

Hon. Franklin Landers will speak at Jasper to-morrow. Several of onr dtiaens will go up and hear him, Bhall we have an -exhibition at the fair after this fall? It would be a good thing. Talk the matter up, John Ash who has been ill for a long time was able to ride out Sunday •Toning. May he soon recover. Mr. E. It.

No school is keeping In Pike county at present. They will be in full blast before the end of September, however. _ The goos a that gets from the pavement an apple paring that has lain in the sun for half an hoar has cooked apple sauce. Book agents are the greatest pests officers in town. The question is, “Shall we have Appleton’s or McGuffey’s Revised?” William Kelso was in town Tuesday and when he took the average man by the hand he made him look like Tom. Thumb. If the Democrats of all the counties in the State are as well organized as they are in Pike, Gov. Landers will be elected by 20,000 majority. Politics of all the ticks, The tick's that bite the hardest. Other ticks eat blood and bone, Politics the brains alone. Another large arrival of clothing.. If you waut late style suits from $2 to |20, go and see. C. £. Montgomery. Some of the oldest teachers in this county pronounce the institute held at this place last week as successful as was ever held in this county. Ladies—If yon want nice dress goods and trimmings to match, go and see the Immense stock at C. E. Montgomery’s. Gordon, our jeweler, was the only man in town who expressed a desire previous to the convention at Cincinnati, that Hancock should be the candidate. __ It is hard to said up salt river when the water is low, runs -Jieavy and slow but the Republicans are making headway up that stream, notwithstanding. _ An abundance of fruit, an abundance of wheat, an abundauoe of everything, and a bountiful blessing at the hand of Providence is what we have this year. _

It would take a philosopher to tell which Lawrence Case likes best, his bird dog or the Democratic party. HU dog unlike most others, is a Democrat_ Hon. James Barker, the veteran war-horse of Democracy is doing valiant service. He spoke at Otwell yesterday and is billed for Jasper tomorrow night._ We notice one of the oldest citizens in this county sitting on the street one day this week playing a Jews’ harp. How true, that we are once a man and twice a child. The Pike county fair commences on the 6th of September. From the numerous letters received by the officers there will be a large number in attendance from abroad. .On last Friday and Saturday morning this section was visited by a much needed rain. The farmers report that there was not enough to improve the plowing much. John Hammond, though true to Republicanism, is one of the most liberal Republicans in Petersburg. He can talk without getting angry and does not; believe in bulldozing. It looks well for “stay-at-home’ bullies to bellow and blow about the war particularly, when they are talking to men who offered up their lives throughout the entire rebellion. There will be a Democratic meeting at White oak, Marion township this county to-night and a pole raising tomorrow. Let there bo a good turn out Able speakers will present. Ladies, we wish Jo call your attention to oar new earthen stow pans, the handsomest and cheapest pan in the market Please call and examine them. Eisert & Son. W. E. Chappell was in town Tuesday circulating notices of a greenback pole-raising at Veale, Daviess county. We think his party is greatly in the minority, but let them have fair play. Rev.Wm, McNutt, one of the editors of the American Baptist Flag, preached a sermon at Alford last^Sunday evening. Text: “I love the Lord.”^ His sermons are characterized by reason and common sense. A young man named Robinson was thrown from a horse last Sabbath morning in Otwell. It was thought for a time-that he had sustained some internal injury, but at present writing ho is up and ready for another tumble. The Petersburg brass band have our thanks for a serenade tendered last Tuesday evening. We can truly say that the boys make fine mnsio considering the time they have been practicing. A. Ii. Case is improving as a vocalist. We referred to Aim once before, and that he could almost sing a whole tune. lie can now sing many good Hancock songs, and his class can do good singing. When they “get in the wagon and all take a ride.”

Supft, Stewart Is attending tijo teachers' institute at Viucennes this week. Vincennes has some literary men* vrhose ideas our superintendent considers worth having. He avails himsel f of every opportunity to inform himself in his business. He has been doing good work. Neither Appleton’s series nor MeGuffey’s revised series has yet been adopted as text books in Pike county. No change has yet been made, bnt we think a Change for either of the above named books would be an improvement. We prefer McGnffey’s to that of Appleton. Mr*. Mineheart, daughter of Mr. Albert Tislow, Is said to be dangerously ill. She has been suffering more than n year with what Is supposed to bo consumption, It is a sad iot indeed to be afflicted thus. For such unfortunate ones lire has more bitter than sweets. May she recover and live a long and happy life.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY!!

SENATOR JOSEPH E. McDONALD -andHON. THOS. R. COBB Will address the citizens of Pike and adjoining counties at Petersburg, on Tuesday Afternoon, August 31 at 1 o’clock p.m. Let there be a general torn out of the people to hear those distinguished statesmen. The ladies are especially invited to attend. The speaking will take place in the Court House yard. Come, everybody. “The Democrats remonetized silver; they issued the greenbacks after Sherman had redeemed them; so far as the excellent condition of the country is due to financial measures the Democratic party deserve the credit.” So said Hon. Franklin Landers in his speech last Saturday. The old man has a level head. It would seem that Petersburg has a co-partnership with Camden, Jay county, Ind., judging from the disrespectful treatment the next Governor received from some of the citizens of this place Friday night and Saturday morning last. However, we ought not to complain first, for the Greenback party has received the lion’s share from Republican bull-dozers.

Gan the Republican press, who are continually harping on Southern out* rages, show us a neighborhood in the South where the people are so lost to decency as to throw eggs at the sleep* ing apartments of a geutleman in the standing of Hon. Frank LandoiV prominence and where both men and women, or rather persons in the likeness of men and women stand around on the streets and hurl the vilest epithets at a soldier who lo3t both his lower limbs in battling for the Uuiou, and besides this hoot, yell and deride their opponents as they pass by in procession. Such were some of the outrages heaped upon Gov. Linders and Mr. Arford, by the Republicans of Petersburg, while those gentlemen were here last Saturday, We coul^ hide our head in very shame to think that we are living in the midst of men and women who are capable of such conduct. Among the many pleasant features ; of the Landers meeting at Winslow on last Saturday was the delegation from Lockhart and Monroe townships. The work on that day shows these people are wide awake and are doter* mined to use every effort to secure the success of the Democratic ticket in the present contest. It is no uncommon thing for people to turn out in large numbers when indications are good for fair weather during the day; but when the rain is falling at early morning and all indications point to continual rain for theday it is placing much to the eredit of a people who acquit ; themsolves as woell as the delegation from these two townships. The1 wagon from Lockhart, made on the real old hickory stamp bearing its burden of eiglijeen American freemen who though advanced in ago and locks white with the frost of years— the oldest men of Lockhart township, was a scene which called to mind historic events of other days. T. G. Milburn, former Superintendent of the schools of this county, was in town Tuesday. He brought Prof. &cSwane a supply of mineral water from the Milburn Springs. Th-se springs have some notoriety for their curative properties. It is believed by many citizens of this county 'that the springs are as good as recommended, which cannot be said of many others from the fact that others are often over estimated. Prof. McSwane who has been treating himself with physicians and patent medicines for more than two years, and who has for three weeks been so ill as to be unable tg write a single line for this paper, has been taking this water aud he thinks it is doiug him good. He says it acts on the liver better than anv medicine he can get from physician or drug store. It is to bo hoped that if will prove a cure for the Professor, as it has for many other cit{zeus of this* and adjoining counties.

The Hancock and English Glee Club wagon of Petersburg looked like a daisy in the procession last Saturday. It was simply nice, and so far excelled the Garfield and Arthur Glee Club wagon that the members of the latter club were completely disgusted with the iill looking thing they ride iu. They have concluded to reform, especially in the way of a wagon. They first built a flat-boat, put it in Salt Biver and attempted to sail down, bot tbe old thing leaked. Sailing down stream Is “no go” with that party this time. Yes, it is well for you to reform, wagon and4ftl, politically. We are always ready to lend otir advice on such momentous questions, and will advise you on this one. You know you built your flat-boot and started down stream and it let in water. Now rebuild that old fourwheeled salt bark of yonrs, and make it in the shape of a skiff andjtnrn it up high at the ends and sides, and line it on the outer part with copper to prevent the salt from taking effect and pitch it within with pitch. In this condition we think it will not fail, but will carry yon np Salt river in safety.

BULL-OOZING III PIKE! Republican Thugs at Cross-Roads Dastardly Attack on Capt. W. E, Chappell and Other Members or the National Party. an Attempt by Petersburg Itepublicnn Sbonltler-HIMera to Hulldose the Voters of flflert City, . J. D. Barker, who claims to have recently been converted to Republicanism, spoke at Cross-roads last Thursday evening, and came very near creating a sensation which, had it not been for the cool judgmeut of the good people of that vicinity, would have ended seriously. Barker, by circulating the malicious falsehood that the citizens of Algiers City intended to egg him, through the influence of Krebs, editor of the Press; collected together a number of the Republican shoulder-hitters of Petersburg, and took them with him to the place of speaking. They were all armed to the teeth and seemed bent on haying a row. During Barker's speech he referred to Captain W. E. Chappell as being a tool iu the hauds

oi tne Democratic party and that the Independent party was organized and run simply for the advancement of the Democrats. Capt. GhappeU, who was presont, arose and told the speaker that he was mistaken. Barker, being surrounded by his body guard from Petersburg, felt wondrous brave and repeated his assertion, when the Captain told him that he lied. Then it was that this brave body guard made a rush for Capt. Chappell and John Ilargravc, candidate for Commissioner ou the National ticket, and had it not been for the interference ol many good citizens would no doui^t have lynched thorn. As it was they contented themselves by cursing, swearing, brandishing their knives aud revolvers, and using the vilest of vile epithets. One individual stated that he whipped such rebel dogs as Chappell, once, aud ho could do It again. This sounds, woll, when it is remembared that no braver, truer, patriotic Uuion soldier than Capt. Chappell ever did or ever will live. Mauy of his company now live in this couuty and will no doubt feel justly indignant when they learn of the cowardly and uncalled for attack that was made upon their captaiu who stood with them at Chicamauga when othora ran, and there with his few followers nobly defended the flag. Capt. Chappell does not boloug to the Democratic party, but we recognize the fact that this is a free country aud that oach individual has aright to his own views in such matters, aud we propose to ever coudemn such conduct it matters uot by whom it is perpetrated. No blame can be attached to most of the Republicans in aud about Cross roads for this cowardly display, as there are very few of them bat what regret it exceedingly. The blame belongs to the bullies who went from town, some of whom no doubt iustigatod the throwing of eggs against the window of Gov. Landers’ sleeping apartment. Krebs and his bullies must adopt different measures from the above else they will wear out the paticuce of the people, who will arouse iu their wrath and visit upon them the punishment they most richly deserve. Qodey’s Lady’s Bonk fur September Is a number full of attraction for those who, returning from seasido and mountain,, find their pretty crisp dresses and finery of two months ago a faded, torn array of records of boatiug, climbing, croquet, and summer pleasure. The pages are fuil of suggestive matter for a uovel and becoming fall wardrobe, aud the illustrations are accompanied by clear descriptions. Oue costume for tho;house and one for walking are especially attractive, and the diagram gjves the outlines of a stylish fall wra^ very easily cut and made. DarleyM picture is a homo scene, aud this great artist is never so attractive as in such domestic groups. It is a tender, peaceful scene that will appeal to all hearts. The literary muter is full of interest; the story of “ Roslyn’s Fortune,” followed for mfinths with pleasure, now draws the intense interest of every reader towards its conclusion. There is a great variety of entertaining stories and poems, and every department is fully up to its usual standard'of excellence. We will furnish the Democbat and Godey’s Lady, s Book for one year at the low price of $3. ou application at this office.

A Significant Fact. Where the Republican ring of this oounty hare had control of affairs disaster has been the result. Their eight years of power in the oounty closed with the disgraceful failure of Whitman, entailing heavy loss upon the county and nearly ruining his bondsmen. They have had absolute control of the corporation of Petersburg and to-day there is not a cent in the treasury, with a heavy floating and bonded debt, and the town without credit at home or abroad. Would it be the part of wisdom to place the management of- county affairs back into the hands of this ring. PablK Speaking. Hon. R. W. Townshend, of Illinois, and Hon. Jno.J. Kleiner, candidate for Congress from this District, will address the citizens of Pike county at this place on Thursday, September 16th. Let there be a good turn out. Hon. J. J. Kleiner Will speak to the people at several different points in this county after September 7th. Notice by poster will be given of the times and places.

THE BALL OPENS. Wfco Are The Guilty Parties? W People see sea Understand In Whose Hands their Interests l we Seat Hoarded. Ccnparlim or Bxpeadlmrea for Comutv Purposes tinder Democrutlc mod Republieau Administrations. List week we gave figures showing the cost of priming, statiouery, &c.. to have been greater by $1,530 iu 1871 than in 1875, It will be remembered that these limes (from 71 to .75) are known among certain parties as the “days of good steatite’ ” It was in 71 that Krebs charged $225 for $16 worth of insane blanks aud acutually received $215 of his outrageous bil', Tbe auditor, Levi Ferguson, had every public document pointed in the Press for which he coaid find the least shadow of authority for publishing and when expostulated , with tor giving ait his printing to the Press at exorbitant rates (nearly doable the present legal rates) he declared that if the Democrat in addition to publishing it for nothing, would pay extra for the privilege, it shoaldn’i have a line of legal printing. We call attention to these facts here as partially exposing the means by which sc much of the people’s money found it:

way into the coffer* of the Press editor and as'furnishing & clue to the persist* ency with which the Press has staved off the proposed investigation of the county records. It has been urged in ceply or rather as an offset to these charges of extravagance that a majority of the board of commissioners were Democrats and need not have allowed the bills. The commissioners were powerless to do any such thing. The law invested the auditor with the sole control of the printing from his office and also fixed the price for such print*, ing. When he ordered a document printed and the printer brought iu his bill charged up according to law, they had .to allow it. Had they not done so a suit at law would quickly have compelled them to make the allowance besides saddling on the county the costs of the action. Thus it is seen that In matters where the law fixes the price the politics of the Board cuts no figure in the case. Wo trust this point Will bo carefully remembered. Another point upon whieh the Press harps a great deal is that county taxes still remaius at 70 ceuta on the $1 00. it chooses to forget that the Republicans turned over aft'tirs to the Democaals with an enormous county dabt besides the heavy embarasamonts resulting from Whitman’s failure. That £11 these difficulties should have been completely overcome 'in four short years and taxes niatorially reduced would have required almost a miracle. That the. county debt has been reduced, county orders brought 20 per cent, discount to par and the credit of the county brought up to the highest standard is an achievement of which the Democratic officials and the people that elected them have reason to feel proud. Besides the assessment returns show the taxables of the county .have decreased hearly one million of dollars since 1375, so that 70 coats now, will produce hardly more revenue thau 50 cents in previous years. These thiugs taken together show the utter absurdity of the Press’s clamor about extravagauce, high taxes, &o.. It ba3 no doubt been observed that we have omitted from our list of items for comparison ail such as expenses of bridges, paupers, roads, &c., all of which to some extent are affected by circumstances over which man has no control. Pursuing our comparisons for 1872 and 1376 we fiud: The amount allowed for stationery, salaries of count j officers, printing aud specific, In 1S72, was.....$9,023 25 1S76, same items.6.109 os Difference In favor of *76, 2,914 20

li mis amoreuce could have been saved and employod iu cancelling county orders, there would by this time have been an additional saving in the way of interest on the canceled orders of over a thousand dollars to the taxpayers of the county. Next week we will take 1873 and 1877. Wo will also show the entire expenditures of 1871, 1872, 1873,1875, 1876, 1877. The expenditures for the three first years was made while uuder Republican rule, aud the throe last years were under Democratic rule. Olirer’a Chilled Plows.. Another car load of Oliver’s Chilled Plows received at Shawhan & Boon* shot’s—the best plovtr made. Farm* era will soon begin to inquire what kind of breaking plows to get. We have no hesitation in saying the Oliver Chilled Plows are the best made. They run the lightest, do the best work, and are the most durable plows made. .Every one who buys an Oliver plow is told to use it two days, and it he fails to find it the best plow he ever saw, to return it and get his money. We have sold over a thousand of them and no one has over asked to have his money refunded. Shawhan & Boon shot. A Card. Petersburg, Ind., August ffi. 1880. Ens.

I have voted the Democratic ticket lor nearly forty years, and as long as it nomiuatos such men for President as Gen. W. S. Hancock, and Franklin Landers for Governor, I will support it as long as I live, f had thought that I would not take much part in this campaign, but after such base and infamous slanders reported on me, I shall from now on do all within my power for the whole Democratic ticket. I will never support any party that nominates thieves and bribe-takers for office. James Barker. Notice to dice Clubs.
