A large number of our citizei s were disappointed by the rain on last Sabbath, they having contemplatet a trip to Union, to be present at the indication of the new M. E. Church at that -- . The Grand Army of the Republic are perfecting arragements to > ibserve Memorial day at this place, Y 'eduesday, May 30th,and ask the co-operation of ex-soldiers and citizens—-the ladies especially. The robing, fedbirds, larks, bluebirds catbirds, and other well known songsters are plentiful this season, as their morning concerts will prove to anyone who is enthusiastic etic'Ugh to get up at daybreak and listen. Elizabethtown, Bartholomew county, was visited by a destructive fire on last Sunday afternoon. Tbe Odd Fellows’ Hall; Wills’ Livery stable, C. Danforth’s dwelling house and a large portion of the business part of town was destroyed. Shall we, or shall we not celebrate the fourth of July ? We have not had anything of the kind for some time, and can see no reason why we Can’t have as good a celebration here as they do at other places. Let our citizens look after this matter at once. An Illinois man boxed bis wife’s ears for investing two dollars in a lottery ticket. She went home to her ma and her ticket drew $5,000;and her husband will give anybody a horse and two cows to convince her that he was only in fun when he made her ears ring._ On last Saturday Judge Welborn appointed C. E. Montgomery, of Washington township; D. B. Davidson; of Clay township; Arthur i'hoihpson, of Patoka township, and AVm. E. Chappell, of Jefl'erson township, as members of the Board of Equalization for the ensuing year. A cow that Has ncquircd the inack of opening yard gates and lunching off of flowers, tramping up freshly planted garden seeds, ana wrecking things generally, wields an influence for evil in one night on the boss of the homestead that the sermons of the most eminent divines of tine day will not eradicate. Such an animal exerts a great ihfluance for evil.

By a recent act of the general assembly, township trustees and school officer's of towns and cities are required to make accurate reports of school money on the 1st Monday in August in each year, and the board ol county commisioners are required to meet on that day to examine such SchoOl Reports. This act is of importance to school officers; It was approved March 6,1883._ The old two story building known as the “barracks,” which stood on uper Main street, has been torn down. It has long been unfit for occupancy and its removal isa decided improvement to the town; P. A. McCarty, who'owns the property; will soon commence the erection of a new dwelling house on the lot. So bright and varied are the co)ors worn this season that a group of ladies Or little girls seen on the streets reminds one of ctri old-fashioned gar- ' den where pcdllies and holly-hocks, marigolds and roiies, tulips and sun- , flowers grow in promiscuous luxuriance ana each contends for ihe supremacy. The delicate* Subdued shades appear to have vanished entirely. . By a recent act of the legislature, iiO person can be selected to teach a school who has been rejected for teacher by a majority of the legal voters in the school district5. The legal effect of in:h an act is that where the legal voters of a school district at a regular meeting have selected a Uynber, the trustee nfost hire hltn, because, Vf his election all other persons are rejected by implication. * 7. *:■,■. -i

Koliert Dorsey, one of Marion township’s cleverest citizens, was id town last Tuesday and called to leave us a new subscriber. Ed. O. Becker, the clever young representative Of J. J. Adair, the shirt man, of Evansville, was in town last week and gave us a friendly baH. Fremont Arford, who ptlshed the editorial quill upon the Democrat in days past, but never to be forgotten, is now editor of the Sunday Morning Call, Minneapolis; Minn. Miss Lyda Martin went to Cincinnati last Fritlay in response to $ telegram from Mrs. K. C-. J ohpstDDi Mrtacrly of this place, announcing the serious fllntessef herTittle daughter. * » W. H. DeWolfe and G. F. Montgomery, ol Vincennes, were in town Tuesday night, bn their way home from Dubois county, where they had teen in the interest of the V. & O. R railroad. Henry L. Shepard, of Osborn, Ohio, was in town the first of the week and completed hiE t rade with J. P. Martin of this place, for two hundred acres of coal lands in this county. The price paid was 16,000. Rev. Aaron Turner, who is to delivver his lecture, “The Boys of the Bible,” atyhe M. E. Church next Monday evening, is too well knowh as an elegant talker to need any recommendation from us and we predict for him a crowded hause. The proceeds will go into the fund for the support of superannuated ministers, their widows arid orphans. From the Worthington Times we see that the saloon men of that {own are trying to pay the Ti mes for its effort to stab them last campaign. This is another evidence of the Met that when you want a favor gc tt? flic man Whom you have persecuted, not him whom you have befriended. Die man for whom you do the most will, as a rule, do the least for you.—[Bloomfield Democrat: We have two or three of that clas.s of individuals in Pike county. Wheatland Cor. Vincennes Sun: Capt. Miller, of Petersburg, and Mr. Selby, of Pike Co.,administrator of the ■estate of G. E. Bailey, who was killed hy $h Oi & M. freight here a year ago last winter, were in town yesterday looking up evidence in order that they nuight bring suit against the railroad. ;We hardly think they could make anything tiff the company, as Mr. Bailey’s death was the result of his own carelessness. The Legislature reduced the number of Justices of the Peace so that there can not be to exceed two in each township hereafter. The Board of Commissioners may reduce the number to one in a township, if they deem it advisable. A town that is duly incorporated may have one Justice of the Peace if the Board of Commissioners will so order. One who resides outside of a towrt When elected Justice, forfeits his office by moving into town and vice versa.

Oakland City Enterprise: A Franciso woman who had premised to marry a young man at Winslow, refused to do so after he had lifted her out with sonie hew clothes. Another young man of Pike was treated in about the same manner by an Oakland girl. The y. m. had bought a full wedding outfit for the young lady, and they were to be married, on last Sabbath, but she failed to fill her part of the contract; the v. m. demanded of her the clothing, which she gave up, with the exception of the undergarments. The young man now has a dress, corset, etc., and we suppose, would like to find a young lady to fit them. Wanted! Wanted!! Fifty thousand pounds of wool, for which I will pay the highest price in cash or trade. Moses Frank Ladies, You will save money by buying your goods at my store. Call and learn my prices.

Cross-ties are being delivered here for the work below town. Owing to an informality in the first notice! given of the regular election of Directors of the V. & O. R. R.

Operation . will probably begin about June 15th, immediately after the election. Au E. & T.

NKIGHBOBHOOD NOTES. Vincennes claims a negro 115 years old. Oat of 70 applicants in Warrick county, 15 were given license to teach.

B. church, in this place on-next Wednesday eveiiihg.and continue them over Sabbath, 27th. All ary invited to be present. Vincennes News: The managers of the May races are agitating the feasibility of having a grand musical contest at the Fair Grounds next mouth in which it is expected that all the brass and reed bands in the State, and others outside of the State, will compete far prizes Military prize drills will be a prominent feature of the program. Rockporl Democrat: Our city can now boast of a female base ball club; the first we have heard of being organized. The first game was played last week on the college grounds, and being lather quiet iu tlieic. movements we are yet unable to give names of clubs, officers, or result of the game. While the exercise is evidently healthful, it is novel and seldom engaged in by females, yet we rather favor the idea: Gravel Beads. Gravel roads and turnpikes are synonornous terms in legal contemplation. Each, and both mean roads made of rock or gravel. Such are usually denominated gravel roads. Several such roads are badly needed iu this county. Wherever tliey have been used they have never been abandoned. When the people of tikis county once try. roads thby will estimate them as they now do railroads—as indispensablos, as necessaries of life. No one objects to building such roads on any other ground than the cost. This is not so great as migkte|}m>ear at first blush. P. (J. ^pderaon, of Clinton, who has had mural e*$ifcrlbACe in the construction of fltwn roads over ^'country very much the same as that between Peters

burg and Union, states that the average cost is about $2,000 per mile. This has reference to moving the dirt in making the cuts and fills, and laying the gravel. The cost of obtaining the •gravel is to be added to the foregoing estimate. It is estimated that each mile of road requires 2,500 cubic feet of gravel. It costs fifteen cents a cubic yard to load the gravel, and ten cents a cubic yard for each mile it is hauled in wagons.— The transportation by railroad will be much less. If these flgu res are correct, and we are informed thev are, it is easily seen that a gravel road from here to Union will cost no great amount] Where these reads are once used the people will not do without them. While clay reads are muddy and nearly impassable, gravel road's are dry and solid. They hever get worse than the best streets df bur best cities, and are worth more to the county. at large, and especially the communities through winch they pass, than any other kind Of load. Their value to farmers are inestimable, and they constitute the life of the towns to which they lead. The construction of such a read from Union to this piacc would 1 largely increase the amount of business annually transacted here. Unless we effect something iji this direction it conies with bad ijrace from us to stand with our hands in our pockets and grumble about dull times and had roads. Now that roads are goed we should not forget that there comes a time every year when they are bad, and at a time of the year too when farmers wish to do the most hauling. In dry times prepare for wet, in warm .limes' prepare for cold, in good times prepare for hard, in times of peace prepare for war, and while roads are good prepare to keep them good.

Editor Democrat: It is said that Petersburg is improving, and I will grant rhat in some respects it is, but there is one great. Strand reform ttiat is needed (jp be 1 brought about and the sooner the better it will! be for the town and ai! concerned.

I ' Let them riot forget that they have mothers, sisters or wives at home who may need their attention, and not strut up and down street, going in and out of stores, making low contemptible remarks that are beneath any map of character, 1 and watching an opportunity to insult tome girl or woman. Sow,young man, if you ever expert to get higher than a goosbarry bush, don’t meddle or make yourself disgusting, but rather seek to protect the female sex. Was it not from woman your life was granted yon; do yon not owe to her something more than contempt? If there are some, who, like you, are*low aud groveling, don’t forget there are many true-hearted and honest women in life yet,and if not for their sake, lor yonr own self respect, for ilio mother who bore you, and the sister, if not loved by you now; there was a time in your childhood when she .claimed your love aim resi>ect,think how it would wonrid them, should they be followed around, I stare.d at aud treated as you treat some women f who come to your town.. .Vlv*a.
