Advertisers will make a Bate ol * this fact! Thursday, Sept. 24,1885. Co-Partnership as Publishers. A co-partnership his been formed between W. P. Knight and T. A. Bynum in the publication of the Pike County Democrat. The paper will be edited by T. A. Bynum, who has been connected with the offleo for the past year. The Democrat will be, in politics, all that its name indicates. "When the battle of the ballots is on, it will be found in the thickest of the fight. At all times, however, the Democrat will be essentially a newspaper, containing fresh literary and general nows so acceptable to all readers; and the editorial columns will he carefully and consistently conducted. The local pages will give every item of interest coming under the editor’s notice, and an effort will he made to secure newsy country correspondents, that the whole eountv may ho reported.

Tiie State fair commences next Monday. "Wisdom is the best locomotive for a train of thought, says the Whitehall Times. Do all the old chestnuts in the newspapers come from Chestnut street, Philadelphia ? Geo. W. Childs, the bosom friend of Grant, says the latter believed that Tfhlcn was elected in 1876. In California it is an offense to stare at a lady. Such laws would be odious in this part of the country. The Republican press of the United States is not at all enthusiastic over the course of events in Ohio. Township trustees in Harrison, Fountain and Washington counties have left for parts unknown. Change the extradition treaty between Uuited States and Canada so that♦e can turn the rascals in. The revival of the iron industries in the United States and England are signs of the coming of better times. The President of the great Harvard college does not get as much salary as Bonner's jockoy or Vanderbilt’s cook. Jumbo, the $300,000 elephant, was killed last week by a railroad train. BarnumVill not be long without a Jumbo. Hon. Horatio Seymour is in accord with the masses of the Democratic party on the question of civil service reform. England is not disposed to remain silent whileSpain and Germany are warring, and will probably take hand in the light now brewing. Harper’s Weekly, the uoted Republican paper, sharply and unanswerably criticises Senator Sherman for liis bloody shirt speeches. It is safe to say that the next regular Legislature will be Democratic, and that some good Democrat will succeed Hon. Ben. Harrison. The Mexican Veteran Association, in session at Indianapolis, last week, indorsed General Manson for Peusiou Agent. The General should have "it.

IJlainf. is talked of for Governor of Maiuc, so if elected, lie would be boomed for President. The opinion prcvailsthfit the scheme will not materialize. The First Assistant Postmaster General, Thnrsday, removed seventy-two Republican postmasters and appointed ninety-nine.Democrats. A good day’s work. Kansas is a prohibition State but there aro 1,803 persons in the commonwealth licensed by the United States government to sell liquor. Canada i§ a delightful climate for absconding Indiana trustees. It is eooler up there. They would find the atmosphere very warm down here. The authorities would make it hot for them. _ Tue St. Louis Globe-Democrat has unlimited gUT when ft intimates that none bnt Democrats issued fraudulent township orders. Members of both .parlies have fallen victims to scheming agents. Tux new post-office law provides that where persops receive or take mail belonging to others from any post-office and do not correct the mistake, they are liable to a fine of $300, or one year’s imprisonment. Ma. Hendricks is receiving censure from England for his speech at a recent meeting of Irishmen. Mr. Hen- ' dricks believes that people can govern themselves—that a government should be of the peo]*le, by the people and for the people. No one bnt opponents of a free government, would censure a man who expressed such sentiments as Ihese. under any circumstances. i

Ai,i» the banks in Canada are reported as having more money than they can loan on interest—more than they know what to do with. The cashiers and trustees of the United States have helped our friends over the border to swell their bank deposits. _ Tut. eorn crop of the present year hi tbis country is now estimated at 2,000,000,000 bushels, which, even at twenty cents a bushel, a lower price than it will be sold for, would make the total value $400,000,000, producing more mouey to the raisers than 6,000,000 bales of cotton, a large crop, at $50 a bale._ One of our neighboring exchanges sums np the value of the ordinary Texas pony as follows: There is a power of work In a Texas pony if you can break him, but that job takes seven,years, and yon are compelled to watch him like a hawk for the next seven. For the nsc of many of our citizens a Texas pony is worth just wi at he, will bring for soap grease. A farmer in Elkhart county figures out the cost of growing an acre of wheat as follows: “Use of ground, five dollars an acre; plowing, one dollar and fifty cents; cultivating and harrowing three times, seventy cents; seed at present prices, one dollar and teu cents; drilling and use of drill, sixty cents; stacking and putting in barn, forty cents; threshing, ono dollar aud twenty cents; marketing, seventy cents; and sixty cents on money used. The total, thirteen dollars and fifty cents. I take for a basis a yield of twenty bushels to the acre and a reasonable distance from market.”

We are told that eastcru merchants feel encouraged at the bright outlook for business in the fall, and particu - larly in the dry goods trade, have preparations been made for a large business. They argue that crops are good, soon money will be circulated geuerallv, stock through the interior small, and no political questions to absorb attention. The general testimony shows conclusively that there is not a “boom,” but that the goods taken are actually needed, and will soon be distributed, and further orders will be made to replace them. Merchants of all classes appear to be conservative in their ideas and movements, and the general impression prevails that we are to have brisk times soon. “ Suits growing out of illegitimate connection now make up a great part of litigation in various States,” remarked an attorney the other day. This is a bad state of affaire, and while it exists in perhaps many States, the evil is not lessened by papers of any community writing about them and agitating them, as it causes the poisonous fangs of rumor to catch in its deadly hold the innocent often times. The mention of these unfortunate occurrences in hints and insinuations docs not lessen the terrible evil, but sows the seed of slander and infamy. The good people of a community will right these wrongs; as people can govern themselves in church and state, overlooked by a Higher Power, so cau they change the social status of a community without the interference of mediums which only make a bad evil worse by agitation, hints aud innuendoes. Regarding the corn crop in this State, the Indiana Farmer, an agricultural weekly of Indianapolis,which has au organised bureau of crop correspondence, will give the following iu this week's issue: “There has been no damage to corn in Indiana by frost. The crop in the southern half of the State is now sufficiently matured to be out of danger from frost. In the northern half of the Stato the late corn, which is about thirty per cent, of the crop in that section, might be hurt from hard frosts during the next seven days, but after that there will be no danger from frosts in that part of the State. The general crop, as to the condition aud yield in the State, will bo above the average:. Some counties taking 100 as an average, are reporting 130 per cent, for the condition and probable yield. There will be more bushels of merchantable corn grown in Indiana this year than was ever grown before.”

Senator McDonald is on very friendly terms with President Cleveland, and their political relations are said to bo intimate. When iu Washington he sees the President very often; and Mr. MuDonald is a staunch “friend of the administration.” In a reported interview with him the Senator says that there is not so much dissatisfaction in the West among tho Democrats with the policy of the Administration as there \yas. lie says that he is well convinced that the President is a Democrat, and that his general policy will in the end be one which he thinks will best advance the interests of the Democratic pai tv. He very frankly told the President that ho thought he was doing too much to conciliate the Mugwumps. “You must remember,” said he, “(bat the pedestal of your success is the Democratic party. If- that is taken away from you, you will be one of tlie worst failures that ever was known.” He also said to him that the Mugwumps out West wero almost an unknown quantity. He said that they uerer would affiliate with the Democratic party. They hated it worse ever than they do the Republican party. ________ Mistaken for ConsaapUon.

POLLARD'S “ PIC-NIC ” WITH TUB TOWHSHIP TRUSTEES. How Iitflm has SiAred by Schemer R. B, Pollarti ui Co-Workers. SPECCLATOU DUPED BT THESE “ SLICK CITIZENS.” Elat at the Iailaaa Dcltfatiaa •( Trastees !■ Canada. Pike Conntr Treatece Said to Han Escapes Hiss auk all le “O. K.”

The great swindling schemes of R. B. Pollard aud his co-conspirators continue to cause comment throughout the conutry, and Pollard, who has been a lightning rod agent, etc., etc., is the best advertised man iu (or out) the United States, lie has “caught many suckers" in his time, ani now detectives and attorneys are in Canada trying to arrange some plan to catch him. It is not known how many thousands of dollars he has FILCHED FROM TRUSTEES by getting them to issue orders to him for school supplies, then taking the orders aud disposing of them. Indiana orders are scattered all over the Eastern States, most if not all of them bogus, for they were issued by some of the absconding trustees without any school supplies being bought, ami the orders sold and the amount divided betwecu Pollard and his confederates. This State has a large portion of these orders, they being held by speculators at Indianapolis, North Vernon and various other places. Touching the LEGALITY OF THESE WARRANTS, the opinion is general that they can uot be collected. The SupreraeCourt has touched upon the very point in question in the case of Axt vs. Jackson (Itidiaua reports, volume 900), the opinion being given by Judge Ilouk, who held : “When the Trustee of a school! township issues an order or a certificate of indebtedness in the name of his township, without any consideration whatever therefor, such order or certificate is iuvalid and void, and can not bo enforced against the township." There is no doubt that nearly all these orders were given without consideration. “OCR TRUSTEES ARE ALL RIGHT as far as I can learn,” remarked a gentlcmau to the writer a few day's ago, while talking of the great swindle iu township orders. The gentleman is well posted on matters in all the townships, aud his remark meant that R. B. Pollard’s gang had uot secured any “orders” from township trustees in this county. John Brentou, the trustee of this township, purchased supplies recently, the order being bought by a prominent firm of this place, who say that the order is o. k.—that it was issued for supplies which were received by the trustee. It is said the supplies are in the township, and are of easy access to inquiring people. DAVIESS COUNTY ORDERS. So far as heard from, says the Daviess County Democrat, the Daviess county issue of fraudulent warrants is $175,000, and each day brings to light new dupes of Pollard and his partners. Suits have been brought in the Daviess circuit court against the bondsmen of the Trustees who are sojourniug in Canada. HOW THE 8CnEME WAS WORKED. Following is a copy of the order signed by Trustees in several townships in favor of the Chicago school supply dealers: ORDER. ♦ — State of Indiana, County of. Trustees Office .School Township • ..188.. This is to certify that there is now due from this Township to.or order.... Dollars for.bought for, received and accepted by this Township, and payable out of the Special School Funds, at tno.Bank at- • • • - .Indiana, on the.day of 188. with interest at eight per cent, per annum on the amount from date until paid, and at- • - P. O. .... lad. istec of.Township. The following is the “certificate” which had to bo sigued to make the oilier negotiable: CERTIFICATE.

TIuk 1* to certify that.Township School Vr'arrant of.County, Indiana, dated..188 for. .Dollars, duo on or before. ..188.. at .,..was given by myself as Trustee of said School Township, for school supplies, which have been received and accepted, ana said warrant was Issued according to law, and will be Sromptly paid when due. The entire lnebtedness of said township Is less than two per cent, of Its assessed valuation. Dated at. Indiana.198 . Trustee of.School Township. P. O. Address.Ind. It. B. Pollard, of Iudianapolis, was the agent who placed the orders for supplies with the Chicago dealers giving the township warrants in payment therefoi. The warrants were of course not received at par by the dealers, who in turn disposed of them to capitalists at a discount. Iu this mauncr the towrship warrants have become circulated all over the country—some for actual school supplies, but the most of them are bogus—to the extent of over a million dollars. An Indianapolis paper states that at least twenty-five counties in the State are involved. TOE INDIANA DELEGATION. The township Trustees that have left their constituents in the lurch and gone to new pastures and greeu fields are as follows: Arista Glover, Mill creek township, Fouutain county. John R. Clawson, Logan township, Warreu county, Charles II.’ Brown, Washington township, Daviess couutv, John Grimsley, Steele township, Daviess county. John Clarke, Barr township, Daviess county. Henry A. Thorpe, Morgan township, Harrison township. Walter B. Rodman, Monroe township, Washington county. Norman L. Jones, liberty township, Parke countv. Robert N, Martin, Owen township, Jackson county. The Trustees who fled to Canada with their ill-gotten money cannot l>c brought back to this country under the extradition treaty. Pollard is reported to bo with them. It is not known what sums these Trustees hare, but is stated that of the three who skipped from Daviess conutv, Brown and Giimsley have plenty of money, and Clark scarcely any. The latter left his family without a moment’s warning. Brown has his family with him and is said u> be living at Loudon, Ontario, under the assumed name of John Crosby. Grlmsley also has his family with him. The daily paper* report that Pollard's wife has joined him at Hamilton, Ontario, where he has opened a gambling house in princely style. Efforts are being made to capture the rascals, and they may not long thrive on their ill-gotten gains, as lawyers are trying to arrange to secure them bv some proceeding under the cxtiallt ion treaty.

NEWSPAPER NOTES. Fred J. Master starts off well with the Tribune at Shoals. Scott Ray, of the Shelbyrille Democrat, {fours hot shot iuto bolters and kickers. The spicy Oakland City Enterprise is too oig for the town in which it is published. Tiie Vincennes Sun is said to be one of the best paying “country -papers” iu the State. The Princeton Clarion is a fine specimen of the “art preservative of arts,” and is a newsy paper besides. The Princeton papers are all firstclass. Warren Bailey, of the Vincennes News, is not an optimist, by any means. He champions his opinions, for changes iu methods, in language! forcible and felicitious. The Cincinnati Evening Telegram’s scheme of giving $10 per week to subscribers disabled while having a current number of the paper on their person, is rapidly increasing the circulation of the paper. The Daviess county papers were furnished a big item by Charley Brown. John Grimsley and John Clarke, the absconding trustees. The local papers report the details of this gigantic swiudle, fully aud completely. “Wit. H. Evans has been appointed postmaster at Princeton, vice E. R. Pinnev, suspended,” is the way a floating item reads. We are very glad that “Billy” Evans got recognition of services well done, and as he is well qualified, the appointment could not have been better bestowed. He is the deserved of all dpservers. IIon. John P. Irish, late editor of the Oaklaud (Cal.) Times, assumed editorial charge of the San Francisco Alta-Californian, last week. He will be remembered as the gentleman who canvassed this State for Blue Jeans Williams in 1876. Mr. Irish is a silver-tongued orator, and thousands throughout the State hung with raptures upon the matchless eloquence of his tongue.

CHURCH CHIMES. Rev. D. T. Davis preached two. interesting and earnest sermons at the M. E. Church last Suuday. Services wore held at the Barrett school Sunday morniug, by Rev. C. W. Yates. Rev. (!. W. Yates’ sermons show a deep research and a careful study, and added to his eloquent manner, makes them very impressive. Rev. D. Van Dyke has accepted a unanimous call to the pastorate of the First Avenue Presbyterian Church. Installation in the near future.— Evausville Journal. The phrase “a wheel within a wheel” undoubtedly had its origin in the Bible. In Ezek., I., 16 we find the expression, “a wheel in the middle of a wheel.” The revisers of the Bible have adopted the popular phrase “a wheel withiu a wheel,” whether as a more correct transcript of the origiual or in deference to the common phrase is known only to themselves,—[Ex. A recent article in the Evansville Journal traces the history of the M. Church from its first introduction into the Wabash valley—when it was an almost unbroken wilderness, and the tomahawk aud scalping knife of the savage played a conspicuous part in the history of its inhabitants—down through its varied changes to this period. Among the earliest of the preachers was Rcv. Peter Cartwright, who, in 1808, organized Vincennes circuit, which, in 1811, embraced all the country from the Ohio river north as far as there was any white population, on the cast side of the Wabash.

“TICKET, SUL” A Popular Conductor 8ays: I consider it my dnty to impart some Tory valuable Information to my friend* and acquaintances, as many of them know the unpleasant condition under which I have labored in performing my duties as conductor of the Georgia Central railroad. Some months ago I became afflicted with a severe attack of Rheumatism, and I desire to state how I was cured. It increased in violence until I could no longer get in and out of the cam without assistance. W hile thus suffering all the agonies of this dread disease and ready to abandon my position through sheer necessity, I was induced to try B. B. B. THE EFFECT WAS TRULY MAGICAL. I had no idea that a medicine could produce such an effect in so short a time. I experienced a wonderful change before using half a bottle. After taking only four bottles, I find myself to-day a well man. This splendid medicine effected a cure no loss wonderful tn the case of my wife, who was also terribly afflicted with Rheumatism. She obtained complete relief and perfect restoration to health after taking the same number of bottles I did. I take much pleasure In recommending B. B. B. to my friends as FIRST-CLASS. I refer to Mr. R. Schmidt. Agent C. R. R. Atlanta, to Mr. R. Schmidt, Agent C. R. R. A_._ and to C. R. R. Agent, Macon, and Dr. Hape -- J. T. GOODMAN. Atlanta. Conductor Central R. R. RHEUMATISM. Although a practitioner of nearly twenty years, my mother influenced me to procure B. B. B. for her. She had been conllned to her bed several months with Rheumatism, which had stubbornly resisted all the usual remedies. Within twenty-four hours after commencing B. B. B. I observed marked relief. She has Just commenced her third bottle, and is nearly as active as ever, and has been in the front yard with “rake in hand,” cleaning up. Her improvement Is truly wonderful and immensely gratifying. „ c. h. Montgomery, m. d. Jacksonville. Ala., April 2,1888. scpltMw Frank & Hornbrook, sole agents, Petersburg.
