The campaign In this county ha* been lukewarm. It is getting beatati. For B4.L*.—Top buggy, good as new. Will sell‘cheap. Apply to H. Mabok. If you are in need of letter heads, bill heads, cards, posters, pamphlets, Ac., give us a call. As the Roefcport Democrat stays, this is an elegant time of year in which to pay the printer. _ The county fairs hare, as a rule, been successful this season, and promise much more for next year. .Jhe Indiana Pocket says tobacco is being damaged by house horning, caused by the late warm rains. A roller-skating rink this winter would afford the young people enjoyable sport and furnish a healthful and inv igorating pastime. __ If yon would hate appetite, flesh, color, strength, and vigor, take Ayer’s Sarsapa- : rilla, which will confer them upon you in rapid succession. Mr. Lingo’s new hotel will be ready fcr occupancy sometime before Christmas. Here is a good chance for some live hotel man to get a first-class house. Thomas J.

Fifty dollars reward has been offered by Sheriff Kaokley of Knox county for the arrest of Joseph Barnett, for the shooting of Wm. K. Johnson, at Monroe city, on Monday of last week. Johnson will recover. The new bank building is rapidly nearing completion, and will be occupied by the citizens’ State* bank in about three weeks. The second story of the building will contain seven splendid rooms for offices. The initial number of the Daily Jacksonian, Washington, reached us Monday.

Why go about with that aching head? Try Ayer’s Pills. They will relieve the stomach, restore the digestive organs to healthy action, remove the obstructions that depress nerves and brain, and thus cure your head-ache permanently. The local papers cannot be supplanted bycity weeklies. The county paper is a necessity and must be had—it is a mirror of local events, and a glance into it gives the citizen tho news of his town, county and neighborhood, as well ns the general news. Mr. John V. Smith, formerly of the Bedford Journal, has assumed control of the Mitchell Commcpoiui. AVe wish him abundant success. Ilis old paper, the Bedford Journal, was consolidated with the Magnet and is now issued by Osborne ft Hitchcock, and is called the Lawrence Mail. An Evansville policeman has been reported for sleeping on duty. This is hard to beat. Kow, who over heard of a policeman sleeping while on duty? However.-we are better oif that wo have no policemen to furnish beds for, as our Town Marshal performs nil the official duties connected with our government. Don. J. H. O’Neall, of Washington, one of Indiana’s most able speakers, will address the people of Petersburg and vicinity at the court house to-morrow night, upon the tariff question. An invitation is extended to all persons regardless of party to be present. At the close of Mr. O’Xoale’s speech a Washington township Cleveland and Hendricks club will be organized, Let every democrat fall in line and march on to victor/. _____ Two little Isoys,, named Charley and George Anderson, aged 12 and 11 years re1 spectfniiy, who live here In town, have raised 33 acres of eorn, doing all the work necessary to the cultivation of the crop. The boys are very small, too, for their age, and lock like they were not much over 10 years. This crop is more than many two mc-n will do in a season. The crop is ju3t across the river, and will yield at least, 60 bushels to the acre. Fifteen hundred bushels is a great crop for two boys. The manly littie fellows deserve praise. The Vincennes Sun sad the Pike County Democrat have shown that they will distort the facts for party purposes. They knew as wei! as anybody the dishonor attaching to ouch methods. ’“Tell the tru th,” regardless of party, i$ most decidedly the thing to do. A newspaper can very soon fall futo discredit and disgrace by unfair, disreputable, dishonorable party methods . In regard to Hon. Lewis Loveless, of Pike county, who has lately been speaking in the cause of Republicanism, these two papers attempt to prove thut he has been a Republican since 1S7G, by saying that he ran on the Republican ticket for Congress against T. R. Cobb in that year. This is true, but they forgot to state that Mr. Loveless voted for Hancock in lt&O, and was a Democrat up

iu luc uuiuiutiuuu ui vie» claim. AtlCU ait I • Loveless declared he would not support him, and immediately declared his intention of voting for Blame and Logan. As tc his offer to speak for Cleveland, we learn in an interview with Mr. Loveless, that he made no such offer, but that he was approached by the Democracy of Pike county and asked to go out and si«ak for Cleveland. This he refused to do. Now, • will these two papers have the manhood to “tell the truth!”—[Washington Gazette. If you want to hear a Be publican paper howl, expose some of their methods of manufacturing sentiment for their tattooed candidate. They parade names of men—“lifelong Democrats,” is the phrase they generally use—before the public a« coming to the support of Blaine and Logan, and when it is shown that'the convert had a few years before been a Republican, then a Democrat, etm, etc., the Republican organs squeal like a stuck pig. The above from the Gazette is a specimen squeal. The Democrat of two weeks ago stated that Mr. i Loveless ran on the Republican ticket for Congress against Mr. Cobb in 1876, and that :Ur.. L. descried the g. o. p. in 1660 and afterwards cast his fortunes with the Democratic party. Bo he did. The Gazette says we failed to state that Mr. L. voted for Han cock. We said he was a Democrat at that time; and so he He failed to get the nomination for Representative at the county convention held here on May 1,1881. Afer the State asd Presidential conventions he was for the Democratic State and Rational tickets, but stated in a conversation that he could not support all of our county ticket. Mr. L. said he was “a Democrat from principle!” —and expressed a desire to make Democratic speeches in the ncighlwring counties. Soon after he was out for Blaine and Logan. Personally, we hare respect for Mr. Loveless, and only review this matter to expose the methods of papers like the Gazette in the manufacture of buncombe which is thought will counteract the loan of so many Independent Republicans throught the United States who have refused to support the jobber candidate tor President. The Gazette does itself great credit by using the saying of Governor Cleveland—“tell the truth.” But the, Republican papers seem to be trying to out do their candidate for President in this campaign, who has had everything proven on him that he hat denied.

Yv'rf:t!uu’!y he jerked in Iris head To dig for the stinging cnider— But who shall print the words he said, As his hat Sew out the winder? The Air Liue officials say the earnings of the road for October promise to exceed those of any previous month since the road was opened. The passenger business Of the road Is something enormous, exceeding daily thet on any road running oat of Louisville or this city. Its present management is both enterprising and successful.—[Sew Albany Ledger. Oet. 11th. The Ifew Albany Ledger save: The officials of the Air Line railroad say the companywill defend, with the best legal talent in the country, the suit instituted in the Superior Court at Evansville by the Evansville and Terre Haute R. E. interest: to appoint a Receiver for the Air Line. The officials 6tate that most of the allegations contained in the complaint against the joad are utterly false, The aim of the E. &■ T. H. interest is to, if possible get possession of theEvans- ; vEle, Rockport and Jasper branches so as | to divert their business to Evansville and East via the E. & T. H. road. The theory has been generally accented that the smallness of the earnings of the railroads for July, August and September, says tite Baltimore Sun, was duo to the Western farmer’s disinclinat ion to sell his wheat at the priees offered, but data collected by the Railroad Gazette shows clearly that the movement of wheat to the primary markets has been larger this year than ever before in the history of the country. The receipts at Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Peoria, Duluth, Detroit, Toledo, and Cleveland for the month of August and for the three weeks ended September 20, when compared with those of the same period in years extending as far bt.ck as 1870, axe found, for the seven weeks, to be 23 tier cent creator than those of 1880. when

the country was in the full flush of presperity. The August receipts, were never equaled, and the September receipts were exceeded only in 1819 tmd 1818. The -awe increase for the present year is found to apply also to flour. The decrease o: railroad earnings must therefore be attributed to other causes. These causes the Gazette finds in diminished railroad construction and the stoppage of other productive enterprises that give them the bulk of their ^eights. Manufacturers of all kinds are comparatively inactive. When will the revival comef Mot this year, says the Gazette. The big crops of 1873 did not avert the panic of that year, nor will fine crops of 1884 show immediate resists. “We may reason ably hope to grow better Boon, but we shall have to watt a while." INDIANA CKOPS. The Average Yield off Corn en« Wheat for Tea Years. The following article from the Indiana Farmer, will prove goodreading for farmer# in this section: “Ax. intorisiiug tulle of the principal crops in the State for the past ten years, as given in our last agricultural report, shows the average corn crop to have been 101,974,810 bu shels, the average area 8,442.078acres, making the average yield per acre 29.6 bushels. The largest yield wan 138,202,000 bushels mside in 1878, when 4,125,000 acres were planted and the average yield per acre was 62.8 bushels. The smallest yield was in 1674, 74,624,000 bushels, the acreage that year being 2,768,602, and the yield ^bushels an aero average. The highest average yicM was made in 1875, when 34 bushels per acre was reached, end the lowest in 1881, 21.8 bushels. It will be a surprise to many that cur corn average is so small. The average yield of wheat for the ten years was 81,708,631 bushels, on an average of 2,2113,508 cores, making the average yield per acre 14.1 bushels. The largest yield was harvested in 1880, and amounted to 49,766,768 bushels; the acreage wo,a 2.962,307, and the average per acre wt.s 16 8 bushels. The smallest yield was in 1876, 17,280,000 bushels, acreage 1,920,000, mi average per acre 0 bushels. The highest average yield per acre was iu 1879, 20 3 bushels, and the lowest in 1875, when it was, as we have just stated, only 9 bushels.

THE KILLY AT WWSLOW S,uOO Pewpta LwnaUc to Greet Senator Voorbees. Tuesday was a bright day tor the Pike county Democracy. They turned out from oil parte nf the county and they came from neighboring counties, and with glee clubs singing, bands playing and flags flying from wagons, gathered in the grove near Winslow in the afternoon and gave Indiana’s distinguished Senator a grand reception. Hr. Voorheee was fatigued from the labors of the campaign, and spoke only a few min. utes. Those few minutes had a telling effect, and it was shown in what high esteem, the Senator was bold—the true servant of the people, a man who has served all alike. The people regretted that his indisposition prevented an eloquent speech, such as they had heard from the Senator as from no other man—the peer of any orator in America. Hr. Yoorhees introduced Judge McXutt, of Terre Haute, who addressed the crowd tor two hours. The speech was one of the most ^eari^est, emphatic and finished addressee wcever heard. A. logician of a high order, find scholarly in the extreme, his clear-cut sentences held the rapt attention of the crowd throughout. Mr. MeXutt prosecuted Mr. Blaine before the bar of the American people and proved him a corruptionist. From one issue to another the Judge passed in his speech and every point made waa applauded, cud the crowd was delighted. Hon. W. F. Townsend closed the meeting, amidst cheers, in a tow eloquent words. A splendid day’s work was done, as the town was full of enthusiastic people. POUTOAL FOISTS.

The Press of last week copied the report from the Evansville Journal of the joint debate at tliis place between Major Menzies and Mr. Buchanan, thereby endorsing the Journal report. Sew, read what the Sews, of this place, edited by Mr. E. H. Harrell, a Republican, says of the report: ‘•The report sent from this place to the Evansville Daily Journal concerning • the joint discussion between MajorMenzies and Cicero Buchanan is an unfair statement of the discussion.” An Indiana editor calls the editor of a rival journal “a bald headed snipe whose miserable carcass is a foul insult to the earth it fattens on.” From this wo infer that the campaign is now open.—Eastern paper. It is altogether probable that an Indiana editor didn’t 6ay anything of the sort. Indiana has the finest school fund in the Union, and at the recent national teacher’s meeting led all the other states in her eduI eational exhibit.

Tfca following from the Country Gentleman, an agricultural paper, will no doubt be of some Interest: “There is a great deal said and written about seed corn not being good. I have had the care of the seeds over thirty years, and never yet had any trouble in having seed eons always pjjra and true, and I always cured it as ray father did be. fore use, after tins fashion: When husking the earn, save the best and brightest ears, with four or fiva husks attached. When enough are husked to make a trace or braid two feet long, it is braided ; ,-c-i with a strong cord, and hcrg eu the k'tcLen wall to dry. It brings there till the k-.nsls at the end oi the ear snaps oif. ih_u It is hung in a told, dry piece Cl. plsali:^ ti—c, Themischief with seed emu is, that the Ob does not get dry, and the chit of the kerrsl moulds; so of course it will not germinate. Dry the corn thoroughly, and there will be no trouble about its sprouting, unless it is hung where it gathers dampness during the winter, and gets black and mouldy,"'

The Indianapolis Sentinel of October 2nd effectually disposes of the Republican falsehood concerning Gov, Isaac P. Gray's connection 'with the Know-Nothing organization.

Tee Republican organ has a “crank" attached to it; all that is necessary is for some one to tarn it, and it plays b tune. The Republican .managers turn the “crank” and the music comes forth. The “*ir”*can not be changed. It is unlike a hand-organ on which a tunc can be changed at will. It plays the same tone, without any variations. There may be melody it the “music" to the Republican ring. The people—the tax-payers—have paid $18 per day for the “expert air.” That is too high. This instrument plays tha one tune—“Shall the 6uits be dismissed?” The music was written by expert Bennett and commissioner Johnson—words by the Republican bosses. With eyes shut to the outer world of facts and fairness in the premises the organ grinder continues. Let him play the tune, if he is amused, for two or three weeks longer, then he will be put to sleep by a “Lullaby” from the pen of the tax-payers of the couuty, entitled—“Expert Bennett, Fare the well!" A cokkssroxmust of the Press from Patoka township says “even if Johnson had made one or two mistakes then, but is more ex perse tied now.” But, then, you see “experience is a teacher,” and especially is it so to the tax-payers in Mr. Johnson’s case, with $18 per day experts. That he was “young in tj»e business” is not a sufficient excuse. Say that Mr. Richardson should be proven to be short in his accounts (and we tiiini he is not) the amount would be absorbed by the extravagance of the commissioners. If tha connty does not win the suits you sec how much it will be the loser. Expert’s fees, attorney's fees, etc., will swell the amount to nearly $8,000 or $9,000. Truly, the Republican commissioners, backed by the Press and the Republican managers, are in a hole, and they will never get out.
