Pike County Democrat, Volume 16, Number 33, Petersburg, Pike County, 24 December 1885 — Page 3

Pike Count; Democrat. Thursday, Dec. 24, 1885. -A. DEgOT’ I The only decoy used by I\ C. 11am mono & Sons to attract •mston>et1s is the exceedingly simple, straightforward one of FIRST-CLASS GOODS at the LOWEST PRICES this market has ever fcno^-u. Conte and see our stock, and act our prices. P. C. HAMMOND <6 SONS. TEXAN TALK. The Success an Atlanta Article Has Achieved in the Lone Star State. “WK LIVE AND PERMIT OTHERS TO EXIST.” Pextkk, Texas, March 15,1885. Hix>oi> Balm Co.: It is a great pleasure to us to state to you that yarn* B. B. B. takes the lead of all blood purifiers in this country, on account of the cures it has effected since we have handled It. We hud a case of scrofula in our neighborhood, of longstanding, who had used all patent medicines which were recommended to him; besides this, he also had several doctors attending to him, but everything fulled to effect any- good. He grew worse every day, and had not left ids bed for the last six months. We had. seen him several times in our little town, though it has been more than fifteen month since we last saw him, and we suppose this was the last time lie was able to come to town, as he lives about eight miles in the country. His name is Servenka, and we got a neighbor of his to i>ersuade him to try B. B. B. and after using only one bottle he left his bed for the first time in six months. To the present time he has used less than three bottles, and he is walking around visiting his friends in the neighborhood. He has gained strength and flesh rapidly. All scrofulous sores are healing finely, and you never saw a happier man than he is. Nearly everybody for miles around has heard of this wonderful cure, and all who need a blood remedy call for the B. B. B. We had a case of nasal catarrh in our own family (a little girl of four years old), who has been using B. B. B. for about two weeks, and already seems to be about well. We have only three bottles left, and want you to ship us six dozen bottles. We take pleasure in recommending B. B. B. as a medicine worthy of the entire .'bnfidence -of the public. Its action is more rapid than anytfbiood remedy we ever handled. ^ L1KBTKK BROS. For sale-by Frank & Hornbrook, druggists, Petersburg, Ind.

THE NWS. FETERSBCUG AND THE YICIMTY REPORTED IX BRIEF. Get ready forswear oft'. Goal, seven cents delivered. Petersburg needs manufactories. Holiday presents at Henry Gordon's. Santa Claus should remember the poor John Young tells a good “array story.” Pork is selling at 2?4 cents mi this market. < Past Monday was the shortest day ol the year. Holiday presents—-a good attractioii for atl. The principal topic of conversation is the holidays. Frank & Hornbrook sell wall paper in Washington.' "■ U . ^ Women say that men gossip as much as the female sex. The Marshal says he will enforce the hog ordinance. Du hois county will probably be out of debt in one year. Go to Henry Gordon's for anything in the jewelry line, Oakland City has an addition called “Temperance Hill.” Plush goods in endless variety at Frank & ilornhrook's. Christmas eards at Frank & Hornbrook's—from fi ats. to $5.00. A bass drum pounded in the cellar is said to be Tough on rats. --T--»-■— Mist for sale by Frank & Hornbrook—Model Drug Store. Jasper boasts of a sausage string thirty-six feet long. Dog* v t -s;_____ Henry Gordon has a tine line of •watches, clocks, jewelry, etc.

± nuwiuu |nt|.K?rs are viowing aootu a 950-pound hog. That is small! % ---:— A hook and ladder company would be a handy thing here in case of fire. Fresh arrivals in all departments at Eiskrt & Son's. The first volume of the memoirs of fieneral Grant are being delivered by Agents. The public schools wilt dismiss tomorrow for the holiday vacation of ten days. Born, to Mrs. Chris LeMasters, a i pound boy ; mother and child doing well. The fire-crackers and toy torpedoes are popping. Christmas come hut ■once a year! The new stone Catholic Church at St. Anthony,Dnbois county, was dedicated last Sunday. The total loss by the recent fire at Fort Branch is now estimated at $11,000; insurance $">.000. Holiday- books, poems, children's books, etc.—from 50 cts. to $5.00—at Frank & Hornbrook's. The Princeton <i. A. Ti. lost $30 by employing Eli Perking one night. He ought to draw well. Girl number eight made her appearance at the hoin3 of Fred. Burger last Friday.—[Princeton Clarion. Daviess comity has a neighborhood called “cash corner.'* We wonder if the cash system prevails there. Annauias Callahan is the name of the gold-finder near Odon, Daviess county. Annauias! This settles it.

Select a Christmas present for your best girl. If you haven’t “a best girl,” get one for some other fellow’s girl. In the case of Citizen vs. Hog our town board decided in favor of the plaintiff. We have a "hog ordinance.” Joe Stubblefield is strongly against the great land monopolies, and grows eloquent while talking of its iniquities. R. 15. Field, of White river township, recently sold three hogs that averaged 530 pounds each, says the Princeton Clarion. We are in receipt of an invitation to a domino party to be given at Washington, on the 29th iust., by a number of society gentlemen. To Tobacco Chcwers: Our own brand equals any goods in the market, and are 15 cts. per pound under any prices. Eisekt & Sox. John Crow has suffered much the past week from his shoulder which was dislocated, on the 14th Inst., by a horse falling upon him. Eisert & Son are after the cash trade going, and will make prices lower than any one. Don't fafl to ask for their cash price on Sugar and Coffee. One' of John Crow’s children was reported to have diptheria last week, but it is now learned that a severe sore throat was the extent of the trouble. A former Vincennes man, now living at Evansville, has bceu so (un)for.t unate as to have two babies left on his door step at different times last week. Treasurer Poetker is making an excellent record as a delinquent tax collector, and one that is hard to excel. Since November 2, 1885, he has collected #2,360.81 delinquent taxes. A “Kansas or bust” wagon passed through town last Thursday. A stove pipe, from which smoke was issuing,protruded through the canvas cover. The occupants were prepared for “a cold day.”

With every dollar’s worth of goods bought at Frank & Horubrook’s drug store you will be entitled to a chance on a line $20 lamp to be given away February 1st. A rare chance. Don’t miss it. Conner &’ McClellan’s failure at Oakland City last week was a great surprise. Their liabilities to merchants, it is reported, will amount to between $15,000 and $18,000; assets between $8,(XX) and $0,000. Groceries, both staple and fancy, have never been so low, and believing that small profits ai d quick sales make more trade. We invite you to call and see our new cash prices. Eisert & Sox. The usual quiet of Sunday morning was slightly disturbed last Sunday by a little tight on Main street. No seriousharm resulted, and both parties have had time ere this to beemie sorry they let auger steal away discretion. f Will Hurunrook advertised a strayed cow last Thursday. Sunday the cow came home. This shows' the heuetits of advertising. Will says the cow received our paper on Saturda'and noticed how she was missed and forthwith returned home. Wilson, who was manager of the dramatic troupe which recently played ^ere, was in town last week, we are informed, and borrowed $2 from Chas. Schaefer and bought a pair of shoes and over-shoss from Osborne Bros., all of which is not liquidated. Would it not be commendable charity if our people would give an entertainment during the holidays for the benefit of the destitute ones of ohr town? Winter is upon us, and extreme cold weather will cause a great deal of suffering among the unprovided poor. Mt. Carmel Register: A very nice looking eoqpl^from Pike county, Ind., were greviously disappointed, Monday morning, when Clerk Price declined to issue them license to marry, neither being of age. The would be bride was a very pretty little blonde, plump as a partridge, and elegantly dressed.

Those of our merchants who are advertising holiday goods are deserving of a liberal patronage. They have purchased the goods for holiday trade and are letting the people know what they have suitable for presents by advertising the same. Look over the advertising columns of this paper before you make your purchases. Mrs. Mary Mil'pr, wife of Wm. Miller, died at an early hour Tuesday morning, after intense suffering. She was at last compelled to succumb to the stroke of death, which at one blow ended two lives; for the one for which she gave up her life was also sacrificed. The funeral occurred yesterday morning, aud the remains were buried in Walnut Hills cemetery. y An old German went to Evansville one day last week on Miller Bros, cheap rate, and was one of the first to arrive at the store aud get Ids ticket stamped so he would not have to pay fall fare home. Miller Bros', floor walker said after liis ticket was stain feed, '‘‘Well, I suppose yon are going to ; buy a big bill of us to-day!" “Nix," said Germany, “I youst come down ter py groceries." A regular old-fashioned “grandfather’s clock" was brought to S. P. Hammond's jewelry store last week to be repaired. It was over 100 years old, aud one of its &»t owners was Flavius Thomas’ grandfather, from whom Flavins’ father bought it fiftythree years ago. The frame work is about eight feet high; and old fruit cans filled with broken pot metal are used as weights. It was indeed an old relic, and is now owned by a Mrs. Rhoades.

CHRISTMAS. A Time of Rejoicing—Presents Given and Received—Oar Attractive Stores. •‘Tho happy Christmas comes once more, The Heavenly guest Is at the Joor; The blessed words the shepherds thrill. The joyous tidings—Peace, good will! The belfries of all Christendom Now roll along The unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men.” With gentle deeds and kindly thoughts, And loving words withal, Welcome the merry Christmas In, And hear a brother's eall.” A representative of the Democrat visited our stores this week to see the Christmas goods displayed and was highly pleased with the what he saw. S. V. Hammond vies with his neighbor, Ilenry Gordon, across the way, in an excellent display of jewelry. Mr. Gordon rejoices in the possession of a fine stock of silverware, and we think many a Christmas table will be adorned with presents here selected. At J. It. AiUgjis & Son’s and J. W. Bergen’s fine displays of novelties are shown to the public by the genial proprietors, who are, as ever, anxious ■ to please. At tho«Model Drug Store every Horny-handed son of toil finds a kindred grip as he shakes hands with her affable proprietors whose Frank and pleasaut smiles soothe the cares of age and join in hearty sympathy with the ringing laughter of vonth. At the same.time they show up a line of new holiday goods that is hard to beat. The big “O!” of the children precisely expresses the surprise one feels on entering Henry ltiekrich's emporium of childish treasures. This is certainly Santa Claus’ headquarters. The frugal house-wife (God bless her!), anxious about her Christmas dinner, can have all her wants supplied at Fleming & Patterson’s or Eisert’s & Son’s grocery stores. But while mentioning these places where especial preparations have been made to supply holiday wants, it must not he forgotten that many substantial and elegant presents are to be found in our other handsome stores.

l^et every one enter with zest into this beautiful time-honored custom of present making, in token of “Peace on earth, good will to men;”' nor confine it alone to wife, children or friend. Is there not near you some poor person to whom a sack of flour, a pair of shoes, or clothes, would secure you the blessing of having given “to the least of these, my brethren.” The Sew Orleans Exposition. The second great World's Exposition at New Orleans opened November 10th and will close March 31st.

STARCH WORKS, The Question Being Agitated by Citizens, A Boom for the Town and County Certain if they Should be Erected. Let a .fleeting be Held at Early Date to Plan and Take Action on tilts Reeded Enterprise. Ou last FriHay we met Matthew McMurray, who is enthusiastic for starch works at Petersburg. He is of the opinion that sufficient money can be raised in the town and county to build the works and put them in operation; that he had talked with moneyed men who expressed a willingness to donate to such an enterprise or take stock in it. We conversed with a number of prominent men hero this week, who regard the question of great importance and think immediate steps should be taken in the matter. The question is of much moment. There should be no delay ; but there should be a meeting called at an early day and committees appointed who will inquire into the matter and push it to a successful termination. The many advantages of such an enterprise teed not be enumerated here; is would benefit every citizen of Pike county. It would create an immense demand for corn, and the price of that cereal would- he largely increased. It would increase our population and business, and give new life and activity to every profession and trade. Strike while the iron is hot! Goodspceu’s History of Pike and Dultois Counties Is being delivered in tlfis county this week. The publishers have presented us with a copy of the worjfc; which contains 786 pages. It 4is well bound, and while it contains some minor errors, the work as a whole is creditable. The index to contents is superbly arranged and you ean find at a glance whatever is de

sired. The State history, containing 240 pages, begins with the prehistoric races, gives the State’s national policies, its organization; the glorious part Indiana took in the rebellion; State affairs after the rebellion : statistics; and onr educational and benevolent institutions, etc. .The history of Pike comity eovers 224 pages and is replete with geological information; the settlement and 01 ganization of the county is detailed ; the bench and bar are well written up; the military history is accorded proper space; the towns and villages, etc., come in for their share of historical sketches, and the educational and religious history has not been neglected. A number of biographical sketches also appear in the work. There is much information in this work that has never been published, which makes it worthy of perusal and a careful preservation. It is comprehensive, and the statistics it contains are very valuable for reference. Taken in its entirety the volume no doubt is far above the average work of this kind, and as such will be valued. - * Itch, Prairie Mange and Scratches of every kind ettred in thirty minutes by Wool fords Sanitary Lotion.
