The effort of the News to conuect Shafer with the Carrs and Richardsons puts us in mind of au anecdote of the old gentleman who had a scrub shoat., Iu order to make it respectable he put the shoat in with a couple of Bcrkshircs and then averaged the lot. * * We have received an interesting communication from lion. Lewis Loveless, but for a lack of space it is omitted this week, and will appear iu our next issue. Mr. Loveless is a spicy writer, as the card shows, and besides ho hits the nail square oitthc head iu everything he says, The Board of Commissioners adjourned, Saturday, until next Monday. The work transacted by the board consisted in settling with the township assessors, making allowances, and the granting of liquor licenses. Wm. Lockhart, Steudal, and Win. Neipert, Union, were granted licenses to retail iiquor. The squib in the News about Shafer, Carrs and Richardsons is a direct insult to the Lovclesscs, Atkinsons, Hillmans, Falls, Grubbs, Rumbles Shoaf and others. These families are by far the most numerous, and as influential as any citizens in the township. They are nearly ail Republicans. Besides Richardsons do hot bank much on Shafer, if we are correctly informed. * * Last Thursday afternoon a serious wreek occurred on the Indianapolis aiul Evansville Railroad, at Salem City, Greene county. South-bound freight No. 29 jumped the track at six o’clock and derailed the engine and three ears. George Spellman, fireman, jumped from his engine and broke his log; Charles llampey, brakeman, jumped and baclly injured one of his limbs. There wore several passengers on the train, but other than a few bruises and a terrible shaking up they were uninjured. The wreck was a serious one, and delayed trains several hours. V

Childrens* Day at the churches last Suudav brought out a large attendance. The churches, tho M. E. church and the Presbyterian, were tastefully decorated and the exercises were full of interest, the children acquitting themselves in a charming manner, with songs and recitations. Pike has always been noted as a stock-producing county, and Petersburg as a shippiug point. No further proof of this is wanted than tho fact that on Tuesday six car loads of fine hogs were shipped from here to the Indianapolis and Cincinnati markets. The shipments were as follows: Moses Frank, three car loads; ¥m. Jackson, Owen Smith and Lcvii TViscaver one ear load each. John Louis Geutry, who killed Dr. C. J. Agee at Stephensport, TVarriek county, is in jail at Boonville. The Grand Jury last week found au indictment agaiust him for murder in the first degree. The law firm of Handy, Armstrong & Coekrnm have been retained for the defense, while the State’s Attorney and TV. M„ Hoggatt will conduct the prosecution. The case lias been docketed for the September term of court. A prominent Republican has let ns into the secret of Carr’s nomination for Surveyor. It is said Carr lias money aud that lie will bo “bled” by the party managers. Higgins, au old soldier, was not the man. Unfortunately, he is like a great many of us, not possessed of much of this world’s goods. He was not wanted on the ticket, and a friend of fiis informs us that lie was unfairly beaten in the convention for the above cause. Much ado is made about lieu Shafee's influence in Logan township. At the county convention Shafer and his Mends cast one vote for tlieir candidate, Carr, and Higgins’ friends cast five, in Logan township. It was five to one against Shafer in his own township. This is not “our fight” particularly, but we have been requested to make this statements to show just what support Higgins dul receive, a contemporary to the contrary notwithstanding!

Miss Ella Paine ,*Tid T. AY\ Washington, a well-known colored couple, were joined iu_dfle bonds of wedlock at the residence of the bride's parents, near Pinkstaff Station,111., last Saturday. “Wash,” as he is called by every one, returned home- Tuesday and received the congratulations of the entire town, while his wife remained with her parents for a brief visit. It is proper to work off that old “chestnut” quotation here, “Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one." Nelson Johnson, father of Theodore Johnson, of this county, anti who is a well-known farmer of Davies^, county, living on the Petersburg & Washington road, about six utiles from this place, while showing his stock to friends, Saturday, received a kick in the face and on the shoulder by one of the colts, and the injuries, while not necessarily serious are very painful, Mr. Johnson's jaw was badly fractured, and several of his teeth were knocked out. The directors of the ‘Agricultural Society met, Saturday, and made arrangements to erect places for the exhibition of poultry, improve the track, and other needed improvements. Everything will he done to make the fair a success. There has been a decided increase in premiums, and the energy and enterprise of the directors should meet the approval of every one, by a large patronage and the greatest number of entries the fair ever ha 3. As the News seems disturbed about the county printiug question, will it please ease its mind by telling u^bow much patronage it is promised by the Republican managers, if tho coalition ticket should succeed, for the “support” it gives the tieket this fall. What has caused this change of heart toward Morgan and Betliell? These gentlemen have heretofore been belittlcd anitabused by this paper, but now it i? heaping fulsoin praise upon their heads. WHY ? $$$?

At the meeting of the Board of Equalization last week a reduction of four per cent, in the taxation of real and personal property was made iu Monroe township, and four per cent, added to Jcflerson township. Reductions were made as follows: On the land of C. C. Davis, Patoka township, $40; $400 reduction on land of Chas. Schaefer, Washington township; Emma McUay’s land in Logan township, was reduced from $430 to $350, and Leeright Honchin’s land, Monroe township, from $1,000 to $(550. The sale of the Air Liue under foreclosure,says the Evansville Courier, by oider of Judge Gresham wipes out $7,000,000 mortgage debt and innumerable claims along the line for right of way, damage suits, and other claims pending in the State courts when the property went into the hands of a receiver. It was reported that the Evansville bondholders, represented by Wm. Heilman, W. F Nisbet and President Mackey, of the Evansville & Terre Haute railroad company, would enter suit to set aside the sale, but as the sale was without reserve or the right of redemption, it is probable the suit will not be brought. The Press mistook enthusiasm for confusion at the Democratic county convention. There was such a noted absence of enthusiasm at the Republican National. convention that to look upon a crowd enthused made our contemporary think it was confhsed, so great was the contrast between the two conventions. The Democratic convention was not only a livo one, but the nominations were made openly and fairly. Every man was given an equal chance. There was no “slate” fixed, as it was the Republican National convention. The people, the Democracy, selected the ticket, and it gives universal satisfaction, while both Republicans and Nationals have expressed to us their dissatisfaction with the coalition arranged by a few of the leaders.

DIED. GARRETT.—Scar Velpen, Pike countv, Ind., May 18, 1886. Claudey Garrett, iufaut son of Elias anti Jennie Garrett, aged stx months one week and five days. He has gone to Him whe said, “Suffer little children to come nnto me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom tf heaven.” While the grief-striekon parents feel they have more than they can bear, they should remember that their loss is his eternal gain. Claudey has gone to heaven, He was too fair for earth; He has gone to join the angels. Where all is joy and mirth. He was like some tender flower, That only bloomed a day; And then came death’s cold icy hand And plucked that flower away. Oil, how we miss his little form, And miss his baby kiss; Hut still I would not wish him back lu a sinful world like this. Oh, no I would not have him back, For all the world could give; And see him suffer so again, And kuow he could not live. But still it makes me sad to thiuk That his short life is o'er; To think we’ll never have him come To visit us no more. Xo chilling winds or poisonous breath Can ever harm him now, For Claudey is an angel With a crown upon his brow, I never will forget him As long as time shall last; Through the chilling storms of winter Or the summer’s withering blast.
