The remains were taken to Washington for burial Monday morning, to which place they were accompanied by thci parents and friends. j / We understand that the Blaine ami Logan club have organized for the third time, having gone to pieces j twice on account of dissensions. All is now forgiven—they have handed! themselves together for the good of tiie G. O.

Everyone should go to the Pike county fa.fr,” It will be remembered that Mr. AgnielWook several premiums, at our fair on line mares, geld-' lugs, etc lie knows what he j|s talking about. The cOol nights admonish ns that the time is not far distant when it will be in order to put Up, stoves and prepare for winter. Before doing this there is one thing that ought rot to be overlooked. Many fires originate from chimneys which becomes clogged with soot, which become dry ; during the summer and burn very readily. See to it that your chimneys are clean, that no wood work is exposed too closely to the pipe, and you will reduce the chances for a fire many per cent. We want to say to any of dur readers who are Si the habit of going to Evansville and other places tb buy articles that can be purchased here' that it is a poor way for you to build up your town. Patronize home and you will soon learn the benefit of so doing. Remember every dollar you send away from home luslps to build up other towns to the detriment of your own. Don’t be caught by any tempting “baits” in the way of lowpriced, snide goods shown, by outside merchants, when you get better goods from home merchants for the same money. Think of this and patronize home, remembering those who advertise.

A WARRICK WOMAN Deserts tier Husband and Flees With a Handsome Young Lawyer, who also Leaves a Family Behind. A special from Booncville ito the Chicago Tribuue, Wednesday of last week, says that D. Clint Zimmerman, a young lawyer and politiean of Lynnvillc, and Mrs. Flora Martin, wile of James Martin, of Eureka, arc missing. Last week Mrs. Martin went to Lyunville, her former home, to visit her parents for a few days.. Saturday she started to return home, but instead of going home, came to Boonville, where she purchased a traveling dress, a number of articles of clothing, and a new valise, and left^for Evansville, saying she would there take the boat and return home. Zimmerman packed his valise, bade his wife and children good-by, and came here Monday and took the train for Evansville, stating before leaving home that he was going out west to look for a new location. Nothing was thought of the affair uutil to-dav, when the husband of Mrs. Martiu came here in search of his wife. Mrs. Martiu aud Mr. Zimmerman have long been friendly. Zimmerman is a dashing sort of a fellow, fond of women, and Mrs. Martin is fond of society. A few days before Mrs. Martin went to Lyunville Zimmerman paid the town of Eureka a living visit. When Mrs. Martiu left her "husband he gave her but a few dollars, and she got no money from her parents, yet she had money to make the above purchases and to pay her fare to Evansville. Zimmerman had Several thousand dollars recently by the death of his father since when he has been living high. The affair has created a great sensation all over the county, as all the parties are well known. Mrs. Zimmerman is left in good circumstauces.—[Evansville Journal. Mr. Zimmerman was in Petersburg last Friday and stated emphatically tlia.t the aboyc report was uutrue, and signified his intention to institute libel proceedings against the parties circulating the report. He says that when he left Lyunville ho went directly td East St. Louis, where lie has cousumatod arrangements to locate, aud that he knows nothing, of the whereabouts of Mrs. Martin.

Rev. Lewis Wilson has on his farm iu Logan township, two apple trees of verv large growth. One of them measuring 8 feet in cireuinference 7 feet from the ground; and the other 7 feet,and 8 inches iu circumference 5 feet from the ground. _ George Milov and Jesse Battles called at our office last Monday and left one of the largest heads of cabbage we have ever seen. The head weighed nearly twelve pounds and was perfectly sound and solid. We understand that they have about 4,000 heads of as tine cabbage an\ras ever grown in Pike county. * Give the pasture, field and medovrs a chance, treat them'to an occasional top-dressing, spare them from overtaxing, and they will pay as they go better dividends in beef, mutton and pork, with less expense and greater regularity than any of the grain or fruit crops, and will leave the soil richer year by year. It may not be generally known, but; it is a fact nevertheless, that there were 160,648 more union soldiers than there were Republican votes in 1860; and yet in the face of this fact the Indianapolis Journal of last Monday asserts ns a fact that it >gas the Jtcpublicau party that put down the rebellion. We feel constrained to ask one question, aiid that is: Did all the Republicans enlist? And, this leads us to ask one more: If they did, where di<| the additional 160.648 soldiers come from ?—[Rockport Sentinel. Wanted—Boarders. A few gentlemen boarders or man and wife can find board aud large, well-furnished rooms with private family by inquiring at this office.

The Kentucky New Era puts it thus: The two newspapers in the West that howl and yawp the loudest for Blaine are the Chicago Tribune and the Cincinnati Commercial-Ga-zette. These papers almost deity Blaine, representing him as tire purest nnd most 'saint-like mortal that ever lived in this wicked world. Before Blaine was nominated the Chicago Tribune spoke of him as follows: “The man [Blaine], who had voted for or failed, to oppose every subsidy of either land or money asked for while he was in Congress. They know him as a lobbyist before he entered Congress, seeking contracts for the supply of arms. They knew him .while in Congress and while Speaker as tho iasidc friend of wildcat corporations, ruling as Speaker to save their bills, and as claiming reward for his official action, as engaged in selling the worthless bonds of such corporations, receiving large gratuities therefor, as confessed in liis1 letters; and finally when pocuuiarily involved, getting the Pacihc Railroad Company to give him 464,000 cash for what was not worth .£64,000 cents. Is this the record of a reformer ? Of a man to purify the administration and to raise the standard of political and

official morality t snortiy aner Medill,, then as now editor of the Chicago Tribune, wrote the above paragraph with regard to the tattooed man, Murat Halstead—the editor of the Commercial Gazette*-wrotc the following pungent aud pointed paragraph about the 'man from Maine: “Now considering Blaine’s brilliant leadership in the House aud the large measure of his fasciuating peason&l qualities, it must be admitted that we have in his own handwriting testimony that shows him interested in subsidy railroads to au extent and in a way that the people will uot tolerate and ought not to forgive. Wo make no personal war on Mr. Blaine. His public record condemns him, aud it would be the very madness of the moon for the Republican party to go before the country under Ids leadership. The party is already burdened with' Belknapery, aud the attempt to elect a railroad sharp President, with a majority of the States already Democratic and the House Confederate, would be preposterous and result in the overthrow entirely deserved and unmitigated.” After writing such things about Blaine, these editors have the effrontery and shamelessness to attempt to apotheosize him, and urge his election to the highest office within the gift of the people. There has not been a particle of evidence brought forward to relieve Blaine of the odium of these charges, lie is just as corrupt now as he was when the Tribune and Commercial-Gazette denounced him as uuclean and corrupt. What must all honest people think of Mcdill and Halstead? Why, even Blaine himself must feel a soverign contempt for them.—New Albany Ledger. KAURIED. MOUNT—11A RGRA VE--On Wednesday •veiling. Sept.

Gen. Paul Vaudervoort, of Omaha, Neli aitd J. Milton Turner, a colored speaker, Of St. Louis, Mo., according to Jumouncciuent, »i>oke at the Court house Tuesday night The meeting was spiritless, and lacked the enthusiasm which usually bursts out on such ‘occasions. An impromptu glee club furnished the music. Gen. Vandervoorts1 speech wasof a stereotyped order; saying that Cleveland was unknown (when he carried New York by nearly 200.000 majority!)> and in a rambling way charged the Democratic party with being a party of “treason, strategems and spoils/’ to quote from the noted bard. The same old story i The meeting was addressed by other speakers. It is thought by many, no doubt, that the colored geutleman made the best speech of the two, though nothing hut demagogism throughout. A number of the colored people of the county were in attendance, and were a little enthused at the remarks of their eloquent brother, with a handle to his name. Gen. Vandcrvoort went from here to I>uboia county, where he will make one or two speeches, and we shall not b« surprised to- see old Dubois give an increased Democratic majority in November. Is- its bitter fight against the present Republican candidate for president, then a prominent candidate for the nomination, the Cincinnati Commercial, on the 6th of June 1S76, asked the following pertinent question: “Do you really mean that a man who has been a stockjobber in subsiby railroad schemes would be a good reform candidate for the presidency ?” And, on the following day, the same paper proceeded to answer its own enquiry, as follows: “The Blaine letters proves all he has been charged with. The troublesome fact is that there is a low tone of publie morality in the estimation of the uses of public position for private gain. And, on the 16th of the same month the Commercial supplemented the above statement with the following: “No man,can successfully, stand before the people of the country as the Republican candidate for the presidency covered all over as Blaiuc is with hisown letters and other evidence of speculative connection with almost every subsidy railroad into which congress breathed the breath of life." In the light of the present political prosjiectK, which certainly promise to cover the man from Maine with ignominious defeatp- the latter statement is prophetic. The people of this country will never elect to the highest office in their gift a man who has continuously prostituted his official power and position to purposes of private train.

At the Fair. The first premium being awarded at our late fair to the Singer was we think a fitting testimonial to this groat heroine of sewing machines, she bore her laurels naturally as one used to such trophies, having received more than 200 of the same ribbons at the greatest exhibitions, both in Europo and America. People arc Now Convinced That when a customer desires to select a well made durable winter suit there is no place where you can get strictly fashionable stylish clothing as pheap as yon can find it at Lyon’s, Evansville. Ilis winter stock joet received.

Everybody Seems Impressed with the same opinion about the grand fall and winter stock just received at Lyon’e, Evansville. They say that it is the finest, largest, and most fashionable ever seeu in the west. Merit, -v It seem that the meritorious Singer walked off with the emblem of the flbst sewing machine at our last fair.
