Advertisers will make a note of this fast! Thursday, Dec. 24, 1885. The times are out of joint. Give the {food times ball a forward kick. __ Our condition is what we make it. ‘“Let ns then be up and doing.'’ The population of Birmingham, Ala., is now 17,000. In 1880, it was only 400. Kentucky produces over one-third of the total production of tobacco in United States.To make society pure, scandal mongers. should be muzzled and their tongues bridled. We gladly place the sprightly Roekport Eagle (Frank Niblack, publisher) on our exchange list. * It is now asserted that the torifts and Parnellftes will have a majority of two in the House of Commons. The Washington Gazette issued a splendid double number last week, well tilled with advertisements and choice reading matter. Seven Indianians have been appointed Pension Examiners under the new administration. Ffl’e of the seven are ex-soldiers. Good. The belief is quite general that Miss Rose Cleveland wrote the part of the President’s message which treats of the Utah blot upon the country’s history. . _

Mu. Vaniiekbilt was so rich that lie could have given every man, woman and child in America a three dollar Christmas -present and have had #10,000.000 left. The entire population of the globe, estimated at 1,400,000,000, were divided into families of live, the State of Texas alone could give each family half an acre of land to live upon. ■—’■t 1 i_.L__ .. i 31. Ci,ay Bascom, who was fhc ProhiUHion candidate for Governor in New York, made the statement in Bo&kta the other day that about all ?fhe (Republican party had done for ■temperance was to repeal the temperance 4a>jvs the Democrats had passed. The-city papers say the good times are not far off. The Indianapolis Note's takes this view: “The steady improvement in the business of the (country is unmistakable. Progress may be slow, but business next year is certain to be more active than this.” What the people demand in the way ■of tariff revision is to be relieved from unnecessary burdens imposed in time ■of war and not changed in twenty years of peace—taxation exacted only do pile up an enormous treasury surplus that is a menace to the peace and prosperity of the!country. Talk about hungry Democrats! Think of 600 Ohio Republicans after one outside position in the Ohio State Penitentiary, to look after the other 600 inside. „Thc Cincinnati Sun says that “there are more than 600 applications in Governor Forakers office for the position of Warden of the penitentiarv.”_,_ IlAitrEii’s Weekly says of President Cleveland’s message: “There is no evasion in his treatment of any topic. He has positive opinions, and he expresses them positively. But there is probably not a statement or a recommendation in the message which is not acceptable tothe sound and intelligent judgment of the country.”

Tun Hendricks monument association deserves the hearty co-operation of every lover of personal and official integrity, in the work of securing aiiiple means to erect a monument to the t illustrious dead. Contributions may be seiit to Mr. Francis M. Churchman, Treasurer, at Indianapolis, and; receipt thereof will be promptly acknowledged through the Indianapolis newspapers as' well as by mail. The present Congress contains ninety-two former Federal soldiers, and sixty-six Confederates. Those who received a collegiate education number 138. There are three graduates of West Point. One Senator and forty-four Representatives are not over forty years of age. The you ngest member is La Follctte, of Wisconsin, aged twenty-eight; the oldest Stators are Morrill and Pavuc, born in 1810. Pension Commissioner Black says the amount asked for by the pension bureau for the next year is $1,549,010 less than the amount appropriated for the current year. The salary and expense account of the bureau has also been reduced $15,000. And it must be remembered, too, that the list of honorable and deserving pensioners has been increased during his administration of the affairs of the bureau at a rate very greatly exceeding that under the administration of any of his immediate predecessor*. To the ability and efficiency of Gen. Black in rooting •lit frauds and reducing expenses is this gratifyiug condition of affairs So much for Democratic reform.

Scandal Mongers. Our friend, Frank Niblack, of the Rock port Eagle, evidently had in hi* “miud's eve” the editor of the “smut organ” at this place when he pouned the following: There arc natures that revel in scandal as vultures in carrion. Tell them a story of brave daring and right doing, of kind administrations to sick and dying, of helpfulness and eharitv, of public spirit and enterpri se, a building up of all things right, true and good, and it is ns though you had spoken in an uuspot en tongue! There is nothing in them to respond to such tales. Hut if the story be one which tends to blacken lives and defame character —malicious, untrue, injurious, > unclean : a story to spoil reputation, to break women's hearts, to alienate friends, to destroy faith in humanity, to wither high hopes and blast honorable aspirations—then it is eagerly seized upon and gloated over; ever detail told and retold with embellishments and sly insinuations and covert innuendos, but with never an honorable asking, “Is it true?” It is Charles Kingsley who says, “A vulturine nose which smells nothing but corruption is no credit to its possessor.” Yet, some people seem to possess this “vulturine nose,” and to rejoice in its possession. In many eyes success of any'sort is a crime. No sooner does one gain a position in advance of the iguoble minds below him—whether the position has regard to wealth, social prominence, political honors, or professional success—than the despicable cry is raised of some sort of dishonor or fraud, and the vultures gather together. _ Figures in Last Year’s Crops. The reports from the different counties on the acreage and yield of crops have just been compiled by State Statistician Peelle. They show that there was an area of 2,732,250 acres of wheat, from which was produced 31,640,086 bushels, making an average of 11.5 bushels to the acre. In 1884 the yield was 40,531,200. The largest production was in Elkhart county, where there was a crop of 855,577 bushels,^ big! the best average was made by StTJoscph county, where the yield was 19.8 bushels per acre. There were 3,216,997 acres o’f corn, with a yield of 115,433,914 bushels, or an average of 35.8 bushels to the acre. The crop was the largest ever raised in the State. The yield in 1874 was 89,159,799 bushels. The county having the,largest yield was Tippecanoe, which produced 2,994,096 bushels, but Decatur had the best average—45.7 bushels to the acre.

Has Congressman Kleiner made the News his organ ? That paper publishes and endorses a puff of Mr. Kleiner taken from the Indianapolis Journal. It is always significant to see a Rcpnblicaii paper puffing a Democrat. If Mr. Kleiner should make the News his organ he would no doubt carry the county by about 00 majority in the convention. The News opposed Johnson (Republican) for commissioner last fall, with all its energy^ and he came within five votes of being elected—nearer than any others Republican candidate (while Mr. lyleiner had fifty-nine majority in the county, three more than the head of the ticket.) So you can see how a man fares when he has the News opposed to him. The executive committee appointed to arrange for the collection of contributions for the proposed monument to the late Vice-President at the State Capitol is now organized and officered, and they invite the co-operation of every lover of personal and official probity, admirer and friend of the illustrious dead. Advisory committees have been appointed in each county and the good work is to begin at once and to bo.prosecuted with vigor. The committee for Pike county is lion. E P. Richardson, Hon. F. B. Posey, W. P. Knight, ('apt. D. B. Ashby, I*. C. Hammond and Reddick Harrell, who will make the proper arrangements for collecting and forwarding subscriptions to the treasurer at Indianapolis. If the Republican Senators, as reported oppose the confirmation of President Cleveland’s appointments, they “will find a man in the Executive chair who knows his rights ns well as his duty, and who will be as resolute in maintaining the former as lie has been in performing the latter. They will find the Democratic party united against them as nothing else could unite it.” As the New York Sun says: if every one of the Democratic nominees is rejected, what good will it do their Republican predecessors? Will it give them back their fat places and fat pay ? The Republican Senators may fume, but they can do nothing for their heelers put out. “For violets plucked, the sweetest showers will not make grow again.”

“No man is at heart a more thorough Democrat than Grover Cleveland,” says the New York Star, “and the honest devotion which he feels toward the party leads him to practice due caution and prudence in his selection of men to till important positions under him. To act hastily would be to act unwisely, and to place in office many incompetent and unworthy men; and lhat would inure to the damage and perhaps to the defeat of party. It is best to build slowly and well. The Democratic party has come to stay.” We were surprised to find a reproduction of the News’ article against the proprietor of this paper, in the last issue of the Mt. Vernon Democrat. Bro. Sparks is certainly hard pressed for clippings complimenting Mr. Kleiner, if he finds himself under the necessity of re-publishing a slanderous piece from a slanderous, onehorse sheet, in order to get a sentence or two in his defence. Will the editor of the Democrat have the fairness now to give his readers our answer to the News man ? What a grand, great country this is with its vast territory, its big rivers, its pretty women and its Veiii Vidi Yici cure. It’s Salvation Oil, c

county News, Stock buyers find businoss dull. Squirrels are plentiful, say hunters. Most of the hog killing is done and the farmer is happy. llog cholera is reported to be raging in Monroe township. The tobacco crop Is nearly all disposed of by growers. Goedspecd’s history is now being delivered in the county. A. W. Thompson’s warehouse is an improvement iu Arthur. Pike county has not been troubled much lately by swindlers. Otwell is improving, says Postmaster Frank Bildorback, It is reported that the Ingle mines will resume work next month. liev.'Wood* has been conducting a protracted meeting at Mt. Zion. Winslow people will .enjoy themselves to-night at a supper and tree. John O’Neal is the simon-pure, Democratic Postmaster at Oatesvilie. County candidates will soon begin to bob upserenoly in many townships. Do not .kill quail; but you are at liberty to shoot turkeys—if you can find them. West Saratoga Springs post-office bciug discontinued that mail now goes to Oatesvilie. Ilosmer will be all ablaze to-night —with a Christmas tree, entertainment and balloon ascension. , ‘’"Mrs. Lucy Knight, who resided throe miles east of Oatesvilie, died a few days ago; aged about 78 years^ ' There will be a dance at IIollou’s Ilall, Winslow, on the 30th just. A good time is in store for, those who like to “trip (lie light fantastic toe.” Rev. Win. M. Whitsitt, of the Union circuit, has been holding a successful revival at Mt. Pleasant Church, near West Saratoga, during the past week. Mr. Shawhan,who lives near Union, a few days ago shot and wounded an eagle, aiyl then captured it. The bird measured seven feet and four inches, from tip to tip of wings. Arthur item : Married, at the residence of the bridegroom’s parents, •Wro. Burch, Jr., to Miss Eva Bradshaw, both of this place. Rev. Baker, though somewhat excited, performed the ceremony.

George Pancake, of Pike county, was in town the first of the week looking for his wife, who had left for parts unknown with Jim Campbell. Campell left a Wife and four children, we learn.—Oakland City' Enterprise. The order of the County Commissioners will cause air township trustees to come before that body on Monday, Jail. 4th, and show the financial condition of their respective townships. A move in the right direction. A.Pike county young man named Ilelsey is reported bv the Enterprise to have painted Oakland City red one night last week. He took Jim Robinson’s glass front for a man and sljoved his fist through it. The young man’s fun cost him over $16. 1 Matthew McMurrav, of Alford vicinity, who is well-known all over the county, is red-hot for a starch factory at Petersburg. lie can readily see that it will make a good market for corn, besides other manifold advantages. ; Hpn. Jasper Davidson, of Washington township, was in the city, Tuesday, says the Princeton Democrat, and informed us that he had recently lost seven head of fine cattle from some unknown disease. He also said many of his hogs were dying with cholera. The corporation election at Winslow Saturday excited some interest. The following named gentlemen were elected to preserve the peace and enhance the prosperity of the place: Marshal, David Beasley; Trustees— Newton Bren ton, C. W. Ellis, Joseph Millerd; Clerk, John Whitman ^Treasurer, Charles Fettinger. An account of the disgraceful conduct of a Logan township man has been sent us. Wo are not certain that _thc name of the gentleman attached to tho communication is the writer of it—hence we do not give the name of the offender, who is charged with a lack of virtu^, stoning his own house, “yelling like,a wild dog,” and other* wise disgracing his well-respected wife and children.

Good Hints to Capitalists. The paragraph below is worthy the consideration of capitalists in every town. While the amount is large for some towns, from a less sum comparatively as great benefits can bo obtained, as are given in the following, from an exchange: One hundred thousand dollars, loaned at eight per cent, earns only $8,000 a year. This protit goes into the pockets of, say ten men. They make only $800 each upon an investment of $10,000. The result is that not a single dollar is added to the wealth of our town, because both principal and interest are furnished by our own citizens,; and onhutcn families are supported by this large sum of money. One hundred thousand dollars, wisely invested, will start, live factories, each with a capital of $20,000. Each of these will support thirty hands, or 150 in all, with their families. At an average daily wages of $1.50 these men would earn $1,850 a weeks’ ol' $70,200 a year. Nearly every dollar of this would go, imo circulation w eek after week. Thus, instead of tying $100,000 up in bank deposits, or in loans which pay only $8,000, it lets loose in trade seven-tenths of its own volume, while the profits on the business would be drawn from outside our own limits, adding so much to our wealth. Rates for the Holidays. The Ohio and Mississippi Hallway will make the usual excursion rates for the holidays, between all stations within distances of one hundred miles, where the fare one way i6 twenty cents or more. Tickets will ho sold Dec. 24 and 25, aud Dec. 81 aud January 1st, all good for return to January 2d, inclusive. For rates, &e., call on local agents.

EDUCATIONAL. Old-fashioned stand-up spelling matches may become popular. The State Normal school at Terre Haute ha* increased from an average of^ forty students in 1870 to 410 for this year. Teachers who joined the reading circle are well pleased with the work. The members ought to rapidly it - crease in numbers. Shame on our schools that make tl c names of Homer and Horace, Sophocles and Virgil, Xenophon and Livy, more familiar than the names of Longfellow and Irving. Bryant ami Emerson, Whittier and Lowell.—[Edueaeational Courant. Some people are hard to please. The St. .Louis Globe-Democrat recently said there was too much method about teaching at the present time, and now Prof. Sumner, of Yale cellego, is trying to.crcate a sensation In the east by attacking the public school system. The recent case in Jefferson township of prosecution of a teacher for punishing a pupil, is a good example of the result of neglect of co-operation of parent with the teacher. It places the teacher in a position to make a tailure, it leads to accusations of partiality, and a feeling of ill-will in the hearts of the pupils toward him. Some parents desire that their children do all the work laid down it the course of study, others will have their children do only such work as they think best. This places the teacher just where he can do nothing, he can not force the pupil of such parent to do work objected to, and on the other hand if he requires other pupils to do the work, they say he is partial. The appeal has often been made to parents, by teachers for their help, but they seem to think lightly of it and too many give no help. Once more let us ask you to give us all the help yon can. Talk'with ns, as well as the pupil, talk with other pupils, and above all visit the schools and learn something, and not get all your information through hearsay, then you will be rewarded with good harmouious results. RAILROAD NEWS. Give us the. Vincennes road. Washington may get the shops. Winslow is a good loeal station, say railroad men. Consideral stone of excellent quality is shipped from Vclpcn. Horace Evans is practicing tel. • graphy at the E. & I. depot. Express charges to this point arc outrageous. Give as a change.

The Straight Line trains have been irregular during the past week. Ilenry Wissing, of the Straight Line is a polite conductor, and looks after the road's interests. The Air Line pay ear passed over the road last week, paying off the employes of the road for .November. Work on the Straight tine extension has been pushed so that cars can run through to Worthington to-d = y. The reversal of the Straight Line tax case by the supreme court was considerable of a surprise to our people. Washington township will now be called on to pay $18,000 to the E. & I. President Peabody, of thcO. & M., takes a hopeful view of the business outlook, and sees in the movement of the market and the actual movement of crops, the basis of all on r prosperity, signs of a general revival. Important Meetings of Agriculturists, Stock Breeders, etc. The State Board of Agriculture will meet at the rooms of the state board January o, at Indianapolis, at which time officers will be elected and successors to Messrs. Mitchell, Hargrove, Sieg, Seward, Duncan, Custer, Banks and Lockhart. Other State associations will meet as follows: Cane Growers, December 29 and 30; Jersey Cattle Breeders, January 19; 'Bee Keepers, January 20; Shorthorn Breeders, January 26; Swine Breeders, January 27; Wool Growers, January 28; Trotting and Pacing-horse Breeders' association (supreme court roojn), January 28. As will be seen by the above, a successor is to be elected, on the State Board of Agriculture, to lion. Samuel Hargrove, formerly of this county but now of Greeneastie.

Pollard, the principal conspirator in the issuance of fraudulent township warrants in this State, and now a fugitive from justice in Canada, lias been indicted by the grand jury, and steps will be taken to have him extradited on the ciiargo of forgery. This is one of the crimes upon which his arrest can he eilected in Canada, and there is every prospect that it will be done.

SYlffTOMS OF TORPID LIVER are a bitter or bad taste In the mouth; pain In the back, sides, or joints—often mistaken for rheumatism ; sour stomach; loss of appetite; bowels alternately costive and lax; headache; loss of memory .with a painful sensatioh of having failed to do something which ought to have been done; debility; low spirits; a thick, yellow appearance of the skin and eyes; a dry cough often mistaken for consumption.

Is the medicine generally used in the South to arouse the Torpid Liver to a healthy action. It acts with extraordinary power and efficacy on the Liver and Kidneys. •the action of the Regulator is free from nausea or griping. It is most effective in starting the secretions of the Liver, causing the bile to act as a cathartic. When there is an excess of bile in the Stomach, the Regulator is an active purge; after the removal of the bile it will regulate the bowels and impart vigor and health to the whole system.

CancerCured Mrs. Oliver Hardman, an old resident of Walton county, and a lady of culture and prominence, has this to say of the treatment of cancer with Swift’s Specific; Over fifteen years ago a cancer made its appearance on my face It was treated with plasters, and the core came out. The.place healed up after some time, and seemingly my face was well. However, in a few years it returned again with more violence than ever. It gave me a great deal of pain. The former remedy seemed to do it no good. Knowing the disease to run in the family,' having had one sister to die with cancer, 1 became seriously apprehensive of my condition. It continued to Increase in size and virulence. I almost gave up all hope of ever being cured. The physicians advised the use of the knife and caustic. This was more than I could bear, and refused to have it operated upon in that way. All other remedies were used, but the cancer continued to grow worse. The pain was excruciating, and my life wasa burden. In this extremity my son. Dr. Hardman, recommended me to try Swift’s Sped fie. It was the last resort, but I was so prejudiced against the use of patent?medicines, and especially this one, that I hesitated some time. At last I gave my consent, not believing there was any virtue in it. The first bottle only increased the size of the sore and discharge from it, and hence did not inspire me with any hope. On taking the second bottle there were signs of improvement, and my faith strengthened just in proportion. I used the Specific as a wash in the treatment of my cancer with remarkable success. I spunged the sore with the medicine diluted with a little water. It softened the scab, cooled t he face and relieved t he itching sensation. The spot on my face began to decrease, as well as the discharge, and iiope sprang up in my heart. Could it be, I asked myself, that I was at last to be relieved of this disease? it has given me so many dark hours in the past that the idea of being well again a 1 most overpowered me. There was a contest bet ween hope and fear for a long time. It was a long night of weeping, but loy came with the morning. There is nothing left to mark the place but a small sear, and I feel that it is impossible for mo to express my gratitude for this great deliverance. It is a wonderful medicine. Mks.
