The watermelons iraised this year have been of much better quality than for several years past. The Kolb Gem is the best variety, j! Wiggins, the weather prophet, abates nothing of bis elaim that there will occur in the fall a storm compared to which other storms are zephyrs.

Charner Hawkins, a colored citizen ,«of Washington, this season harvested twelve and one jjhalf car loads of watermelons from ton acres of ground, and received $740 for the crop. In Columbia township, Gibson county, the tax collected, amounting to $1,904 7.j, and also a tax of $180.91, in Barton townshiplhas been ordered paid over to the E. & I. railroad company. The Petersburg brass and reed band practice frequently,'dud show marked improvement. They made their first appearance on the streets Saturday night, and their playing was heartily applauded. There is a demand for dwellings; business houses are ho longer vacant, as the many lyrff opes built recently are occupiedout population is increasing, and the outlook for a prosperous year is good. The Vincennes Sun says: “Everything points to a great and successful exhibition at the Knox county fair next month.” We know Knox is hard to beat. Pike will send a large delegation—and eount on us. The special delivery system that hns been confined to tho delivery of 'fetters exclusively, was by au act of Congress on August 4, extended to all jkistoffices and to all mailable matter, if his Jaw will go into effect October 1. iU V

Private telephones tire becoming popular. One of the latest lines to bo erected is between the Lingo Hotel and It. Berridge & Co.’s livery stable. The schools are running smoothly and the present’ year promises to bo profitable to the pupil and full offutitiou and reward for the painstaking instructors. Sheriff Shrode prevented a jail delivery Tuesday, by discovering that prisoners had made a hole in the wall from the corridor to the outside, by which they would doubtless have made their escape. Vet. Strain, Secretary of the Gibson county Agricultural Society, sings to a new boy: “You Grow More Like Your Dad Every Day,” and Charley Ileberd, who is'also well known here, sings the same popular air. ’ The Banks hoidiclde case was continued in the Knox Circuit Court last week on motion of the prosecution, an important witness being absent on account of sickness, and the case set for October 25th. Prof. Herman Ludwig, formerly of Evansville, has made Winslow ids home, and will turn out one of the finest brass and string bands in the State in the near future. Success to Prof. Ludwig and the Winslow band. The colored citizens of Washington will hold a camp meeting, at the fair grounds at that place, commencing to-morrow, Friday, Sept. 2d. The exercises will be conducted by Revs. J. A. Davis aud Brown. All are invited to attend. A number of small bovs(very small ones, too!) were seen playing “chuck-a-luck,” on Eighth street, Friday. One of the boys had the numbers arranged on a cigar-box and the dice were tossed out of a rough leather box by the would-be sportive urchins.

Win. J. White, while an inmate of the Gibson county jail, was married on the 14th inst., to Miss Almena Wilson, the ceremony being performed in the parlor of the jailor’s residence, and thus a bastardy and seduction suit.was compromised. Gentry’s trial for the killing- of Dr. Agee has been in progress at lloonvillo this week. A number of witnesses are in attendance from Stendal,Agee’s old home, though the fatal stabbing occurred in Warrick county—.June 3d, duriug a political quarrel, it will be remembered. The Princeton Clarion says: “The performances given by the Indian Medicine Company are superior in merit to many of the so-called minstrel shows.” So it appears that Dr. Charley and his parly are pleasing the people of Princeton and vicinity as they did here. Ah error in part of our edition last week made us advertise the opening of the .campaign on “Aug. 25.” We do not desire that .Time, in its rapid flightt should turn backward one month. On nexfcSaturday[ Sept, ,25th, the Democracy of Pike county will open the ball at Winslow. Cards are issued announcing the marriage of Miss Harriett Covert, daughter of Mi. and Mrs. Jake Covert, tit Evansville, Sept. 29th, tt> G. E. Austin, of Plattsmouth, Nob, Miss Covert is a vivacious voting lady of the blonde type, charming, intelligent, and Mr. Austin will certainly be a happy man in the possession of such a helpmeet. Visitors to Petersburg from all towns in our county report business picking up, and the general impression is prevalent'that the jgood times are ©drawing near. Farmers are somewhat busy, but have time to chat with the festive candidate, whose visits become more frequent and his grip heartier as the election draws nearer. At the Posey mines, preparations continue to be made for the. eroetiou of the coke ovens. The ground has been levelled, water supply fixed; a switch is being put in, and the machinery will bo here in a short time. Eight ovens, it is expected, will be in operation by about January 1st., and that number will be doubled before many months. The Washington fair is betteradvertised than any fair in Indiana, or in any State. The printing sent out is very attractive, and there is plenty of it. The Secretary, A. F. Cabel, is efficient in the use of printers ink, and no one knows the value of it more than he does, lie presents his attractions in an excellent manner, and the association is sure to reap a rich reward as the fruits of his judicious advertising. Our people will attend in large numbers.

.following is a list of it l»o county fairs that will be held in this part of the State this fall,.the date, and the name of the Secretary: Daviess county, Washington, Oct. 4 to 10, A.

A recent visit to the Ayershiro mines found preparations being made for extcnsiyc business in mining and coking coal. David Ingle was busy getting his mine in shape for the winter’s work, when the force will be increased to over 100 men. A now entry, has been made and the track nin up on a new and very strong “dip,” substantially constructed of heavy timbers, this being done to give the coking company additional facilities. The Laclede Coking Company has erected fifty-four ovens, which will be in full blast in a short time. Aycrsliire’s population, and houses, have been increased till it now looks like a mining town ; and the miners occupy, pleasaut, vlnetnvernt cottages, and though hard laborers, appear to be prosperous and contented.

All the ex-soldiers are on the alert, aud anticipate three days of genuine enjoyment. Merchant Tost, No. 15, G. A. R., has labored assiduously to make the re-union a success. The ex-soldiers have made extensive arrangements to have a good time and greet their old comrades in a true soldier style. Warren's Crescent City Band, of Evansville, has been engaged to furnish music. Other bands and drum corps will be present. The veterans can reeliue in the enticing shade of the beautiful failgrounds and there relate war incidents to their heart’s content. Col.

Can’t Kill a Democrat. The fact that lion. John II. O’Neal deliveied an address at Pleasant Hill Wednesday night after being so nearly killed Sunday by a runaway horse, reminds the writer of an incident that occurred at Shoals several years ago. Hon. Michael C. Keer was speaking at the West Shoals court house, and a large crowd was in attendance. One of the unterrifiod from Lost River township tarried too long on the east side of the river, and was very uncertain on his legs when he attempted to cross the railroad bridge. When near the middle of the bridge lie sudenly shot down between the cross*ies, and fell fifty teet into fifteen feet of water. Of course we all thought the man a “goue gosling,” but ho bobbed up to the surface of the w ater, and as his hat floated over the dam ho struck out for the west shore of the river, climcd up the bank, shook himselfc like a wooiy dog, and in a voice that would have made an earth-quake look pale he yelled, “Hurrah for Michael C. Kerr; you can’t kill a Democrat, d—u you.”—Daviess County Democrat. Levi Condiff, a substantial farmer of Boone township, Dubois county, was robbed of $60 by light-fingered gentry, hangers-on at our fair. To add toCondiilPs misfortune as he started to leavo the fair grounds, his two-year-old mule frigntened, ran and fell and broke its neck.

AMUSEMENT NOTES, Who rang the “chestnut bell” on the orchestra, Monday night ? Burr Bobbins circus passed through Wednesday morning and pitched teuts at Oakland City, yesterday. The Golde Sisters’ concert at Schaefer s Opera House, Mouday night, was largely attended and the numbers on the program liberally|npplauded. The singing of Mrs. David Ingle was a pleasing feature, and the duet from Patience by Mrs. It gle and Miss Beatrice Golde met with most favor, and received a hearty encore. CAMPAIGN CHAT Of Local Significance--Points on the Campaign Opening. Shout! Hurrah! Turn out! Harmony! Pull together! All hands ’round. Work for 'he ticket. Go to Winslow, Saturday. Open thocampaign with a boom. Hear Congressman Thos. R. Cobb, Hon. O. F. Baker, the silver-tongued orator. Hon. E. A. Ely, one of Indiana’s most favorable speakers. Let every township be well represented, and give them a rousing reception. Hon. J. E. McCullough’s appointments in Spencer county prevent him from being present at Saturday’s rally. I

POLITICAL POINTERS, The political pot is beginning to boil. Albert E.' Edwards is the man for Auditor. lie-elect faithful officers. Give Shrodo and Poctker large majorities. In this county the Republican party is getting hard raps from ProhiI bitionists. The 3te\v° Albany Ledger savs, “In i elections the corkscrew is often mightj ier thau both the sword and the pen.” lion. John II. O’Neidl and Rev. M. S. Ragsdale, candidates for Congress iu the Second District, fneet in joint debate at Hillsboro, DttboLr county, Saturday. Gen Ilovey, the Republican candidate for Congress, during a recent j visit to this county, was industrious; y distributing copies of that sta inch (?) Democratic (?) paper, the Mt. Vernon Star, which is working so desperately to elect a Republican to congress. lion. J. E. McCullough has begun his canvas of the district, and is filling Appointments in Spencer county this week. As the Evansville Courier says, Mr. McCullough will make an able and convincing canvass. lie will be heard in every county in the district. The Republican State convention did its best to'pledge the party both to whiskey and water. This imposes a double load on the faithful in this district, who had already undertaken to shoulder.both protection and free trade. Republican principles are this year more elastic than ever. The Democrats gained fivi senators in Maine and cut down the Republican plurality from 6,000 to S,000 since 1884. The Democratic administration seems to be popular in Mr. Biaiu's own sjate. Then it niu«t be remembered that Mr. Blaine worked with all the fervor and anxiety to save his reputation in his own state that he exibited in the presidential election in 1884. The omens are ail favorable for Democracy. Mr. Guitar is tuning his instrument in a race for Congress in Missouri; Wolf and Beaver are elms’ng each other in a Gubernatorial race in Pennsylvania; Mooushiue is lighting up the Gubernatorial canvass in j Kansas, as the Democratic candidate, and the Taylor brothers in Tennessee are trying to fiddle themselves (one of them) into the Governor’s chair. This is an “oil year” without a doubt, and the people can listen to the music and see the menagerie. The Republican platform on the liquor question isa meaningless thing. It says "We favor such laws as will permit the people in their several localities to invoke such measures of restriction as they may deem wise,” but docs not say what measures of restriction the Republican party is in favor of.

is it prohibition ( ihepiatiorm clocs not say. Is it local option? It docs not say. Is it high license? It does not say. Is it low license? It does not say. Is it no license at all ? It does not say. Their tomperence plauk is a jugglery ofwo.ds. The New Albany Ledger tells some strong truths in the following: , There is an old saying that chickens come home to roost. It is not afc" ways true because they are sometimes stolen or fall by the wayside, but in politities it isalmost always true. The man that tights a nomination this year because he does not like the man nominated or the way it was done, will And sonic one lighting some frier d ou the ticket next year for the same reason and will confront him with the past act. While the Ledger does not volunteer to support the democratic party through thick and thin, and while it will ever feel free to oppose what it thinks wrong in policy or principle, it will support every wortiry candidate of the party for the reason expressed above that it thinks that the organization can only exist by united local action and that the way to sustain Democratic principles is to support Democratic candidates. Active, Pushing and Keliabie. J. E. Adams A Son can always be relied upon to carry in stock the purest and best goods, and sustain the reputation of being active, pushing and reliable, by recommending articles with well established merit and such as are popular. Having the agency for the celebrated Dr. King’s New Discovery for • consumption? colds . and coughs, sell it on a positive guarantee. It will surelv cure any and every affection of throat, lungs, or chest, and in order to prove onr claim, we ask you to call and get a Trial Bottle Free.

COUNTY NEWS. FANT01) ITEMS. Hnzlenuts are ripe.' Watermelons are on the wane. A great deal of tobacco is being cut every i day. Dr. MeOrew explains the merits of Globe pills. Sorghum mills are busily turning out ’lasses. Rev. William Chesser preached Sunday at Sew Liberty. Rev. Chandler preached Sunday night at Wilder School House. The late sprinkle only reminds us how much we need raiu. School teachers are on the lookout for positions. I am told that either Spencer Barrett or James Arnold will teach at Fantod. Kither of those gentlemen will give sat'slaction. They have both taught in this d!strict and both did credit to themselves as teachers. As Mr. Albert Edwards lives but a short distance beyond our limits it may not be out of my place to mention that he is at work. Albert is a conscientious Christian who lives up to his professions. He is best liked and most trusted by those who knowhint best. His past life bears the closest scrutiny and shines the brighter by being closely observed. He has never been an office seeker, and bears no marks of the demagogue. Such men we need in office. ___ M S. T. Xotiee to 8. S. Superintendents, Superintendents of Sunday Schools in the county will please bear Iu mind that the first Sabbath in October was the day selected by the last annual convention of the State Sunday School Union to raise the penny collection.
