Clint js a young man of nbilitv and his promotion is well merited.

We have received many compliments upon (he neat appearance of the Daily Democrat, issued during the fair. The daily is an established institution, and it is always our intention to make it, like the weekly, the leading newspaper. Wo always lead; never follow. Ayer’s Ague Cure, when used according to directions, is warranted to eradicate from the system all forms of malarial disease, such as Fever and Ague, Chill Fever, Intermittent, Knmittent and Bilious Fevers, and disorders of the liver. Try it:. The experiment is a safe one, and will cost you nothing if a cure is not affected. Bills are out announcing an excursion from Evansville and intermediate points to Washington next Sunday, under the management of J. L. Mayer, of Evansville. The train will pass this place at 10:40, arriving at Washington at 11:30, and remaining there live hours. The fare from this plaee will be forty cents for the round trip. For genuine hospitality the people of this place take the lead. In eon-1 sequence of the late fires the hotel accommodations are quite limited and it was feared that all who visited our fair last week would not find entertainment, but our citizens threw open their houses to visitors and none went away to complain, but on the contrary are loud in their praises of the hospitality of the people.

The first quarterly meeting of the M. E. church at this place was held last Sunday and Monday. Two excellent sermons were preached on Sunday bv ltev. H. J. Talbott, the new presiding elder, to large congregations. ltev. Talbott is an eloquent preacher and an agreeable gentleman, and made a splendid impression upon the people of this place. The conference met Monday morning and transacted the business. Iu the Dubois circuit court, at Jasper, on Monday of last week, Judge Welborn rendered his decision in the county seat removal case of Crawford county, lie held that Grantsburg lacked sixteen votes of enough to secure the county seat, and continued it at Leavenworth. Col. D. C. Anthony, of New Albany, attorney for the Graiutsburg parties, says' the case is likely to go to the Supreme court on appeal from Judge Wei born’s decision. The Indiana editors were invited to meet at the Louisville Southern Exposition last Thursday, but owing to the death of Mr. Lingle, of the Lafayette Courier, and his; funeral on that, day, the meeting was postponed until to-day. A banquet, speechmaking and all the ceremonies of sneh ah oceassiyn, will lie happily indulged in. The visitors will lie the guests of the Exposition, ‘ and mo trouble, labor or expense will lie spared to make the occasion one long to lie remembered and cherished. Every mark of kindness and respect is due President Young for his generous hospitality in getting Up the entertainment. '

The gloomy fears, the desponding views, the weariness of soul that main complain of, would often disappear were the blood made pure and healthy before reaching the delicate vessels of the brain. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla purifies and vitalizes the blood; and thus conduces to health of body and sanity of mind. Don’t kill the toads, the ugly toads that hop about your door. Each meal the little toad doth catch a hundred bugs or more, lie sits around with aspect meek until the bug is neared, then shoots he forth his little tougne like lightening doubled-gearcd. And then he soberly doth wink and shuts his ugly mug, and patiently doth wait until there comes another bug. Gen. Vcateh made a speech at Hnutinghurg Saturday, trying to boost Itlaine, to a fair sized crowd of about 100 voters and 400 women and childrcu. He conhln’t raise any enthusiasm, and in fact it seemed to aai outsider as if the speaker thought he was doing a distasteful aud ungracious duty to support, such a candidate, and we have no doubt he felt so. He was follower! by Dr, Agee, of Pike, and the respectable portion of the Hcpublieans present evinced their shame and disgust at bis condition,' by leaving in a hurry when he took the stand. He talked incoherently a few moments, and it was evident to all that personally lie ought to be in favor of prohibition, and at least practice it before he makes another appearance iu public.—[Jasper Courier. Dr. William A. Ilorrall, of this city, lias made a discovery that may be of immense benefit to the manufacturing interests of the country. Difficulty is experienced in securing enough material for the use of paper manufacturers, and great quantities of the material are shipped to tlic United States from foreign countries. The Doctor has discovered that a common weed of this county, which is especially plentiful in the 'White river bottoms, possess the very qualities that would make it valuable to manufacturers of paper. He has subjected some of the weeds to a process by which (he fiber is separated, leaving it. in shape for the paper maker, and lie is considerably elated over the success of his experiment so far. Should it be a complete success a new industry will be opened up ill Daviess county, and the price of bottom farms will increase.—[Washington Gazette. Our Sew Presiding Elder. It is with pleasure that we rC-pro-ducc the following from the New Albany Ledger concerning Kev. H. J. Talbott, tlic newly appointed presiding elder for the Jtockport district of the M. E. church: “The appointment of Kev. II. J. Talbott the late popular pastor of Centenary church, to the Presiding Eldership of the Koekport District, was made by Bishop Foster of the Bishop’s own volition, lie desired a Presiding Elder for that district who would rescue Methodism from the decline into which it has fallen, lie wanted a young vigorious. educated man of principle and piety, one who thought more of the interest of the church than he did of his own personal interests—a man of self-sacrifice and loyal to the church and its officers and laws. He thought Mr. Talbott that man and appointed him to the work. As he goes to his new field of labor he will be followed by the siheerest prayers aud liest wishes of his hovt of Sew Albany friends for his success. Mr. Talbott is a man who will ornament any position the church may call him to fillsanil no minister iii Indiana Conference has a more promising future before him. l:le is educated, logical, a fluent speaker and best of all ministerial qualifications, a lover of the Master he serves, and a true and fearless preseller of His Gospel—a man upon whose character there is not a blemish.

If so, sen.I at once and get a bottle of Mrs. Winslow’s soothing syrup for rhlldron teething. Its value is incalculable. It will relievo the poor little sufferer immediatedly. Depend upon it, mothers, there 'is no mistnko about IU It euros dysentry and diarrhoea, regulates the stomach and bowels, cures winujcolic, softens the gums, reduces inllamnti^, and gives tone and energy to tho Whole system. Mrs. Winslow’s soothing syrup for children teething is pleasant to the taste, and is the prescription of one of tho oldest and best female nurses and physicians in the United States, and Is for sole by all druggists throughout tho world, Price 25 cents a bottle.

The Hot Water Cure. Relative to hot water as a remedial agent, Hall’s Journal of Health publishes some interesting hints, t says: A strip of ilauncl or a napkin folded lengthwise and dipped in hot water and wrung out, and then.applied around the neck of a child that has, j the croup, will usually bring relief in ten minutes. A towel folded several times and dipped in hot water, and quickly wrung ou t and applied over the seat of the pain in toothache and neuralgia, will generally afford prompt relief This treatment in colic works almost like magic. I have seen cases that have resisted other treatment for hours yield to this in ten minutes. There is nothing that will so promptly cut short a congestion of the lungs, sore throat, or rheumatism as hot water when applied promptly and thor-. tfughly. Pieces of cotton batting dip{>ed in hot water and kept applied to old sores or new cuts, bruises and sprains, is the treatment now generally adopt.ed in hospitals. I have seen a sprained ankle cured in an hour by showering it with hot water poured from a height of three feet. Headache almost always yields to the simultaneous application' of hot water to -the feet and back of the neck. A goblet of hot water, hot as one cau drink it taken half an hour before bed-time or twentv minutes before breakfast or both is the best of carthartics in the case of constipation, while it has a most soothing effect on the stomach and bowels. This treatment continued for a few months, with proper attention to diet, will cure any curable, case of dyspepsia, and it will give relief almost from the first glass. Try it and you will never, regret having done so. The Rejoicing Will be Great Early in September when people visit Lyon’s great clothing house; Evansville, and hear the low prices and view the elegant new fall and winter styles. Hall of Pike Lodge, No. 384,1. O, O. F., Whereas, it has pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from our lodge our Moved brother, Vm. r.

CORRESPONDENCE. From Arthur. Arthur. Ind., Sept. 2,18S4. Wheat threshing is about over in this county. * George Xipoheard is erecting a line barn on ids form near Arthur. C. D. Houchiiis and Miss Lizzie Grim made a flying trip to Evansville last Wednesday. ; I do not Btipposo there will be any more j Republican rallies at Winslow this campaign. Well, why ? Because there will he ; no more public sales this fall, and the Republicans of Pike county cannot get a crowd without taking advantage of a public day. IIickorv. From Otwell. Otwkll, Ind,, Sept. 5, ISS-i. Editor Democrat—Once more we make the effort to itemize for your paper. The weather is so very warm that people are dealing very lightly with work at present. Mrs. C« C. Botkim is now the mother of a very large girl baby, and I am glad to say that father, baby, and all, are doing well. We fear the Democratic party will always remain in the minority if all the Democrats do as our friend Allen Arnold—it’s a girl! We have had some very interesting political speaking at Corn’s mill. ‘-Simon Deariug” was most proficient, or the champion. There was a special pension agent in our community last week, looking up some of the hoys’ pensions. Frank. From Winslow. [Deferred Items.] Winslow, Ind., Sept. 3,1SS4. Winslow is booming. The teachers’ institute closed last Friday, cousoc{ueRUy the gawksecd sowers have departed. Several new residences are ip process of erection in our village. The boom has just began, but will continue to boom. Prof. G. W. Thompson, of Terre Haute, enlivened the institute with his genial presence last week. Miss Ida Pagln, late of Chicago, was also in attendance and gave splendid elocutionary entertainment at the M. E. church on Thursday evening, Winslow is beginning to put on airs. She is now thinking of incorporating, and if she does, sidewalk timber will be in demand. A delay In the reception of the Herald’s type is causing the editor to think “cusswords.” Ho don’t swear. An unusually fine tobacco crop is coming rapidly forward through the section of country south of us.

rbe editor of the Winslow Ilsrald says that the eorn raised on l*ike county hills is finer than is raised anywhere in Michigan. Kev. Benjamin l’otter, of Owensville, Iud., will address the Democrats of Patoka township, and all others who will come out, on Wednesday night, Sept. 10th, at the Cleveland and Hendricks club rooms at this place. ' We wish t« call the Rttention of the State Superintendent and the Democratic State central committee to a little insignificant school jdlirnal published at Chicago, Called the‘-School Herald,” which was very extensively, distributed by the County Superintendent and other Kepublicans during the county institute last week. It gave a long list of questions and answers, concerning which we will only ask space to notice one of them, which is thusly demonstrated: “Is there no way to reduce the surplus revenue without' reducing the tariff ? ” Answer— “Thpro are many plans proposed, ete., etc., apd that It had licen proposed by Mr. Ijogan to appropriate for educational purposes the 180,000,000 produced by the revenue on whisky and tobacco; also that Mr. Blaine urges that the entire surplus In the treasury be apportioned among the States for education purposes.” We are glad to say that the teachers of Pike county are too intelligent to be gulled into such a political scheme as that is. The Republicans are devising every plan imaginable to carryends; bnt, thank heaven, thoir ends will never meet in November. Yours, trurly, Sycamore.

Letter from Illinois. Mason City, 111., Sept. 6,1884. Editor Democrat—SirThinking you would like to publish a communication from this-locality, I write you a few lilies for publication. Mason City is n town of $3,500 inhabitants ; is beautifully situated; has two railroads, and does a large business. This is a beautiful country, very level and well cultivated. Wheat averaged fifteen bushels, but is in very.badj condition, and is worth from fifty-five to sixty cents per bushels. We have a good com crop this year. Mason county is on the east side of the Illinois river. Havana is the county seat. This county is seven hundred majority Democratic, so we will have no fight on county officers tliis fall or congressman, but we will have a tussel with them for this State. It is generally believed that Harrison (Deni.) will be electee} for Gov. nud that Illinois is a doubtful State. The Democrats of Mason City met last Thursday night (Sept. 4th) and organized a Jeffersonian club of 250 members to start with. They are going to get suits and torches immediately and form . a marching club. I hope Pike county will roll up a Democratic majority of 500 and elect all of its county officers. I will say in regard to myself that my former home was Stendal; I left there the 4th day of March 1883 and came to Mason City and have been here ever since. I am well pleased with my new home and expect to remain here for two years, if not longer. I have written this for the benefit of my friends who read your paper and hope you will pupliskit. I remain yours, II. Collins Advocates of prohibition need have no fears of “Prickly Ash Bitters” as it is a medicine, and by reason of its cathartic properties cannot lie used as a beverage. It is manufactured from the purest materials, and acts directly on the Liver, Kidneys, Stomach and Bowels. As a blood purifier it has no equal. It is pleasant to the taste, and effective in action.
