Ilow would a band tournament at the fair strike you? It would be an attractive feature, aud competing bands would make music for the multitude. The visiting bands would bring large crowds (Yora their respective towns and cities, thereby increasing patronage to an extent to pay handsome premiums. We respectfully call the attention of our fair directors to this feature, and if they should decide to have a band tournament, i t will meet with approbation from the people and musicians and largely increase the attendance at the fair. Let us have a band tournament. . Here is a warning to the persons who chew gum. The New Castle Democrat says: “M. Ratcliff's girl aged about ten years, took voleatly ill with an inexplicable disease. The best physicians did all in their power for her, but in vain. She died, and last Saturday a post mortem was held. The doctors found the colon clogged with chewing gum, preventing any communication between the stomach and bowels. Sallie—that was her name—used a great deal of gum while going to school last winter, but had not chewed any for the last two months.’’ Politics and the “bloody shirt” have no place at Fourth of July celebrations. The people were surprised to hear a young man (who will learn better some day!) make a regular bloddy shirt speech. He is young yet, and his “break” can be excused on this account. But we thought as old ■ man as the Republican candidate ade a speech on the fair i on the 3d inst., could not fall how untimely and unsuitable ereuee to politics is at a 4th of on, whore people ofali to boar noble sentiments, ftill of I good will, ! heir

ED. DORSET SHOT Hr His Step-Son, Wm. Garland, Barlag a Dispute Over Property. On Wednesday tha 30th nit., Wm. Garland, aged about 22 yean:, shot his step-father, Ed. Dorsey, and the ball entered his neck, narrowly escaping the jngular vein. The precise course of the ball is unknown, but it is thought it lodged in his shoulder. Dorsey’s life was despaired of for a short time, but he soon rallied, and his ultimate recovery is now considered certain. The cause of the shooting is said to grow out of disputes orer some property, or notes, and a bitter enmity has existed between young Garlaud and his step-father for some time. Garlaud has been workiug in Daviess county, aud returned home a few days before the shooting, and had been lookiug over the records, regarding his share of the property. It is stated that Dorsey and his stepson were quarreling at the time of the occurrence, and the flames of the old feud being fanned, resulted in the shooting, after which Garland skipped for Daviess county. lie was arrested by Daviess county officers, Sunday, brought over here, Monday and lodged in jail. An affidavit has been made against him, charging him with shooting with intent to murder, and his pretimiuary trial will occur as soon as Dorsey is able to appear in court. For Sale. We have for sale seven farms, containing from 40 to 350 acres each, and six houses and lots in Petersburg, ranging from $150 to $2,000. Smitu & Smith, 52-tf. Petersburg, Iud. ' The Fair Premium List. The list of premiums to be awarded at the coming fair have been increased aud several new liugs have bceu added, as will be observed by a close perusal of the pamphlet, which is now being sent out by the officers of the association. A careful examination should be given the premium list by exhibitors, and we are certain, increased entries will be

made at tins, the sixteenth annual fair, as liberal premiums are offered in every department. Every preparation is being made by the directors and officers to mate the fair a success and the people should aid in this beneficial work by making exlnbtions and extending their patronage. The date of the fair is Aug, 30th to Sept. 3d, inclusive. The premium list was printed at the Democrat office, and the officers of the association are frank in saying they never before had such a neatly printed and accurately-arranged list. |This is the first time the list was printed “at hofhe,” and the officers arc pleased at securing better work at fairer prices, while patronizing home industry. A neighboring county's premium list was printed away from home, at a “city office,” and is regarded as the worst job their association ever had. Our lair association know where to come for first-class work. We do job work in a style not excelled in city offices, and our business men, as well as the fair association, are Appreciating the work, as our increased patronage testifies.

Editors Democrat:—We desire to have you publish in your paper, some facts concerning an outrage that was committed upon the Christian church, at Traylor’s chapel, on the evening of the 3d of July. We have employed Elder Brown to preach for us a year, that is to preach the first Sunday in the month, and he came on the 3d., according h> promise. The congregation having assembled, servies commenced and had progressed about half an hour when a shower of eggs came flying in through the windows from both sides of the house ranging at the preacher. The menibers of the church and the substantial members of other churches and atl good citizens do abhor such proceedings. As his character is without suspicion, it was done through maliciousness aud without a cause. Yours truly, [Signed.] C. II. Iieynicrson, Henrv Gray, Elders. J. W. Blair, J. II. Dorsey, A. W. Hollon, Deacons.

i Card from Hon. Lewis LoTeless. Editors Democrat :—I see that the News occupied nearly a coin main reply to mv letter to the Press, which you publish in the Democrat, two weeks ago. Who' told Mr. Harrell that Lewis Loveless wrote the squib to which he refers? If no one, thou upon what authority does he say I wrote it? He says in reference to his action two years ago: “The Press claimed that neither the Ilarrells jior the News had any influence, so to test the matter we selected Mr- Johnson, Republican candidate for commissioner and made fight against him. Mr. Loveless, you must admit that Mr. Johnson was beaten, notwithstanding your boasted influence in political circles.” I do not boast of my political influence, but if it is to be judged by the vote for Johnson it is greater tliau I supposed. Mr. Johnson came within five votes of au election, while most of the Republican county ticket was beaten from 60 to 93 majority. I am sorry your hatred of the Press caused yon to oppose Johnson, but notwithstanding “your boasted influence in political circles” Johnson ran ahead of Ids ticket, coming within five votes of being elected. The Press did yeoman service for the ticket, but the little that “Lewis” accomplished was a mere drop in the bucket. Last campaign your hatred of the Press “clouded your better judgement” and you opposed Joliuson, and I am sorry to see yon still acting on the same principle toward the Democrat. “Another reason is we cannot help to elect men to office that would give their printing to a man that sent a party to our office to assassiuate us,” So it seems that “Lewis” is not ihe oulv man that allowed his hatred to control his political action. “Lewis now claims that he will support Morgan, Bethel! and Stubblefield—and do all he can to defeat the rest of the ticket.” Wrong, “Lewis” does not propose to do any such thing and he told vim better before your article appeared. “The day of the Republican convention Lewis boasted that he would defeat the entire ticket.” Wrong again, Ijawis said, that the actiou of the conveutiou, would defeat the ticket. (Alluding to Iliggin’s defeat.) I admit this was said on the spur of the moment without due consideration;

x.\er wove lih; cun\ euut'u uh nas uwu furnishing Hems for the Democrat that are against the ticket nominated that day.*' This is “another false statement” of the News. What items have I furnished the Democrat ? The Democrat no doubt smiled When it read the above item. ' Read over the above, and, “if intellect prevails over prejudice” you will, the 4ext time vofi see me, say you wrote several things “in the moment of passiou” that were wrong. I thank the Democrat for the use of its columns in allowing me to set myself right before the people. Lewis Loveless. The First Campaign lie Nailed. Mr. Editor :—If you will allow me space in your columns to make a few statements concerning a false report that is being circulated throughout the county about our candidate for the Legislature, 1 shall feel very grateful to yon. Some parties are reporting that 1 told (said party) that Mr. Thompson had said that he would not sign a petition to Congress to pension all soldiers, but would sign one to stop the pensious that are being receive*.!. This report is false. I never heard Mr. Thompson say anything of the kind; neither did I tell any one such a thiug. The truth is it was told to injure Mr. Thompson in the election. I challenge mankind, and say that the report is a bare faced falsehood. Now, Mr. Origiuator, from now for all time to come hold your peace, or coiue to mo and prove that I repeated the above false statement. D. C. Barrett. Arthur, Iud., June 29th, 1SS6.
