William*. 1 “The Democratic party went doivu in the swamps of Knox county and there dug up an old mossy-bueked, web-footed demagogue oi an old funner, who were bine jeans to catch vot>es and wore broadcloth in the Legislature.”—Extract front the speech of R. S. Itobertsou, Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor, delivered at Salem in 1870. Th* people tire for McCullough. The eilitor of the Press has hair on his teeth.

Bowman next coroner of Pike largo majority. will be tins county—by a Shrode lias made an excellent “high sheriff.” lie will do for another term. Keep him.

Hon, J. E. McCullough will carry every county in the jflrst district. Mark the prediction. Is the County Clerk’s office safe in the hands of am an who has misman- * aged his own business? The Petersburg ring eau not run the Republican and National parties. The “Big Four” must go. Senator Logan mide a political speech at the Carlo re-union, aud a chestnut bell v/a* pulled ou him'. » IV yon want’ an economical administration of county afhiirs elect Samuel Amos aud Gerard Overbeck cornmis doners. Josiah L. Morton iq an old surveyor. Ho know j his business, and will bring to that office experience and competency. Any one who would make a eovert attack ou a private citizen, by innuendoes sad' insinuations resorts'* to the mcauect and baseat. methods of the sneak and: cot ward. Pike county is fortunate in having the opportunity of electing snch men commissioners as Amos and Over; l»cck. Honest, hardworking, cconom

ithe best ever had. Retried ; and is place. can not dehvertheir They will learn that NationRepublicans can not always be to the poie» and dictated to. The crank of the Republican organ te turned by Mr. Morgan and the “campaign music” burst® forth— and the “music” is all for Morgan,-too. Treasurer Poetker’s administration of the Treasurer's office has been upright and competent. Ho deserves a re-election by a handsome, majority, and will get it. W. W. Berry the nominee for Joint Senator, a self-mado man lie comes from the masses of the people—a farmer—and, as he knows the wants of his people, he can be depended upon to serve them. Albert E. Eiiwards is a straightforward, honest partisan; a Democrat from principle, a farmer by occupation, hud a man of the people. Aught cannot be said against him. He is the mail for Auditor. Goodlet Morgan is fearful lyst something will be sprung on him just on the eve of the election. “Who can blame his pester’d senses to recoil and start when all that is within docs condemn itself for being there.”

The Democratic candidate for commissioner of the first district, Samuel Amos, is ouo of the best of mechanics, and trill make an excellent officer. To be a good mechanic does much to qualify ono for commissioner. Some years ago, it will be remembered, that Senator Benjanniu Harrison thought the grecnbackers were “intolerant,” and ought to go to the “lunatic asylum.” A vote against Stubblefield is a vote against Harrison. ■ No good Democrat ever carries his personal grievance to the polls. But, instead, he carries a Democratic ticket, representing a great principle, and places it, unseratched, in the ballot box. That is Democracy, Simonpure, uncorruptcd and uncompromisod. "The policy of the Press is to villify relatives of a Democratic candidate. To what extremes does the Republican organ go in its attempt to push Goodlet Morgan into the Clerk’s office over the protest ot meu of his owiij party aud the Democracy of Pike county. _ The failures in the United States and Canada for tho last nine mouths show a reduction of 1,000 in number and nearly $20,000,000 in liabilities over the corresponding period of 1885. The good Democratic times are rapidly succeeding Republican hard times. When the Republican organs grind out such doleful strains regarding what they are pleased to call the outrageous gerrymander, it ought to be well for them to remember that in 1872 the Republican majority passed ono so infamously unjust that a Republican governor refused to sign it. Mr. Robertson, Republican candidate for Licutcnaut-Govcrnor, uses this elegant and comprehensive language iu regard to tho Republican temperance plank: “It was so constructed that is is adapted to the beerdrinking Germans of .Alton and the Prohibition Quakers of Wayne county.” ___________ Mr. Morgan says that he expects to pay bis debts. In his articles he always says “my debts.” Will Mr. Morgan explain what ho means by “my debts?” The debts he owed before ho took advantage of the bankrupt law are not legally his debts; Although they honestly and honorably are bis debts. What does be mean by so dodging? Ask Hector King. __________ Janes Brumfield has boon heard to . say that ho is tho Republican candi (date for she riff. If ho is, then he must “but beads” with the Nationals. If lie is tho National candidate, theu he must “but heads” with the Republicans. While this is going on, the Democrats, together with those Nationals and Republicans who do not dauce to a medley, will re-elect Mr. Shrode sheriff of Pike county by alarge majority.

The First District Republicans arc in a greatest raft. A meeting was held at Evansville a few evenings ago, and although it was not entirely harmonious it was concluded to let Colonel John W. Foster lay out the plan of the campaign, each of tho county committees to carry out his orders, the chairmen acting as his lieutenants. Foster was the chairman of tho State Coinmitteo in tho davs of Morton, butjthe appliances of those days are not now at hand, and without tho requisite tools ho can do but little to save his party. Col. Foster visited this county last week and conferod with the disheartened breth ten. The steady/and rapid payment oi the public debt incurred in our civil war, combined with the reduction ot the interest rato and the increase ot population of the country, has enormously reduced the debt; burden borne by our people per capi ta. In 1865 It amounted to $78.25 per capita. Last year H only amounted to $24.14. In 1865 tho per capita portion of the aunual interest charge was $4.29. Last year it was but 88 cents. The ratio of the principal is now buttwo-thirde what it then was; that of the annual interest is but little more than onefifth and a Democratic administration is constantly reducing the debt at the h.

AND THE SCHOOL FUNDS. A heavy taxpayer in the last isane of the Demcciut calls the attention of the voters to Auditor Bethell’s mismanagement of the school funds. This tax payer has been investigating the records for Mrttsell.- IIo finds that Mr. Bethell loaned school funds at four per cent.—just one-half of what ought to have been paid. This tax-payor found that Auditor Bethell had loaned the school fund at four per cent, when the law required eight per cent. If ho did not loan,at this rate, but at eight as the rcquiied, why did he not collect eight per cent. ? Now, which ‘‘horn of tl»o dilemma” does Mr. Bethell proposo to take ? IK he charged eight per cent, and collected four, he violated the law; if he let the borrower off with but four he also violated the law. The tax-pav-er has pulled the record on Mr. Bethell, and we shall now sec him squirm to get out. But the people of Pike county do not want a man who would handle the school fund so recklessly as taxpayer shows. This fund should have a true guardian. This money is used to educate the children. Every cent should be applied to that noble purpose. The voters want a man in office who will zealously guard this great interest. The funds for the support of Hie schools—“tho hope of our country”—will be sate in the hands of Albert E. Edwards. Elect him, and the records will show that school funds are handled as the law directs. The tax-payers will vote with Tax-payer who has been looking up the record, and when that is done Mr. Bethell will bo buried by ballots next November.

Goodlkt Morgan has forced Wright Giailish, his amanuensis, to drag family record of candidates into the campaign. To investigate a candidate's private character aud family record is the most disagreeable thing this paper can conceive. Looking upon the man the Republican ring forced whom upon the National party as a candidate for the highest office in ‘he gift of Pike county alone, and seeing his character stained as it is, out* soul recoils within us! Think of electing such a Representative to the Legislature! ■ A man who, as all Pike county knows, has spent his life gambling and betting ;joekeyiug and horse racing; maligning religious denominations and doctrines; quarrelling and brawling; using, obscene, unchaste and profane language, and preaching funeral sermons out of the same mouth! Shame forbids. Gladish and Morgan should not have invited an inspection of personal records, but i their course, in the Press, has forced the issue. The Republican candidates should muzzle the Press. If not, and they want the flood gates opened, our only course is plain. We have refrained so far from personal warfare, (Mr, Moigan has mistaken our criticisms for personalities regarding himself), but the Press has made attacks which overreaches all decency and respect. We do not feel bound'to observe silence any further. The campaign is on! I*. A. McCarty comes in for much abuse at the hands of the Press, presumably dictated by Goodlet Morgan. Some few days ago Mr. McCartv politely requested Mr. Gladish to keep his rame out oi his paper; Mr. McCarty, as a private citizen, had a perfect right to make this request, and it should have been granted. Because his cousin, Johu W. McCarty, is a candidate for Clerk, there was no occasion for spiteful flings and malicious ’iieucndoes to be published regarding P. A. McCarty, a private citizen, who is a .clever gentleman, and a man who atteuds to bis own business. A uowspaper proprietor should not allow his paper to be prostituted to such uses by a zealous and bitter partisan like Goodlet Morgan, would not hesitate to abet iu the abuse of any private citizen. The editor of the Press appears to have “worked himself into a terrible sweat,” and seems of the opinion that his course, as an editor, in this cam paign may cause his slender f rame to be “riddled with bullets from bulldozers.” T-e-r-r-i-b-l-e! But why not get an insurance policy ? A friend has suggested that our esteemed contemporary could got jiis life insured from now till after the November election for about ten cents 1 Morgan sued the county commissioners to force them to build a jail in Petersburg. This was one of his plaus to get a public baud i nto every tax-payer’s pocket. Luckily, ho failed; but the cost stands against him unpaid. _j

TnE News says that Gou. Manson, in a spoedi at the soldiers’ re union at this place advised the soldiers to not desert Gen. Hovey on election day. How absurd and untrue. Give us 8 per cent, instead of four on school fund loans, it' you please, Mr. Bethell. “Who will bo; the Clerk ?” the Pross asks. Why, John W. McCarty, of course. A Soldier to Gen. Hovey. Democrats tell us that General Hovey made not less than 800 rotes by his speech to the soldiers at the ie-unlon —News General Hovey instead of gaining votes, here, h»t two votes where he made one in this county, not by his speed) but by the action of his friends, who tried to urge his claim oa voters. Gen Hovey was In attendance at the reunion last week and made n speech to the soldiers at the fair pounds o n Thursday evening. By his presence here the General made a number of votes — Sews, If Genera] Hovey or any other candidate for a political office attended our reunion for the purpose ot making votes he is not entitled to the votes oi the ex-soldiers of tho First Congressional District. A JsotPirn.

MOBGAN AND HIS OBGAN. It is very generally understood that Goodlet Morgan dictates the policy of the Press, and that his suggestions are heeded ou all occasions. Then he has counselled the attacks on John W. McCarty and his relatives. Mr. Morgan has permitted his personal organ to goont of its way to attack a tnan who is not a candidate. The issue is between John IF. McCarty and Goodlet Jforgan. Though there may be skeletons in the family closets we shall not open the doors to the residence and invade the home circle. The Press may continue its course of abusing and villifying the relatives of a candidate on the Democratic ticket if it chooses. If that is tho advice of Goodlet Morgan To his organ Tho people can readily see his fine Italian hand in the whole matter, and it will fall short of its purpose. The voters detest such methods, and will

prove to Goodlet Morgan And his organ That what the people want is simply the record of John AY. McCarty and Goodlet Morgan contrasted. How great the contrast! ‘ Joint W. McCaity—a softer, reliable, trustworthy and competent young man, whose every act, after the closest scrutiny stamps him as beyond reproach, and the slanderous flings can not chai go public opinion. As to his competitor—must we throw tli© mantle of obscurity over bis acts, forget his misdeeds, his shortcomings, his insults to Democrats, and his bull-dozing of Voters, election after election? This is asking too much. The voter will judge between the two; that is the issue; he will not bo led off by anything else. Goodlet must stand this crucible test; but in the meantime as Mr. Morgan -- Plays on his organ He should grind out music for the people—no airs on a whole family— bnt just attune the “music-box” to candidate’s air, turn the crank, and lot the procession move on ? Victory is ahead for the Democratic ticket. CAMPAIGN LIE NAILED. One of the Press’ Falsehoods Effectively Squelched. John McCartt has not denier that he has money iuvested In the saloon business, or that the saloon at Otweli and one at Winslow are operated openly and freely for his onndidaey —Press The Press reiterated this falsehood.

Flattering Notices From the Press. W. P. Knight, for many years editor and proprietor of the Pike County Democrat, lias just completed the sale of that paper to J. L. Mount School Superintendent of Pike county. Mr. Knight retires from the journalistic field with the good wishes of his proicssional brethern generally.—Vincennes Commercial. After conducting the Piko_ County Democrat, successfully, for" thirteen years, AVilliam P. Knight, its editor and proprietor has sold the concern to J. L. Mount, made his valedictory bow and retired. Mr. Knight is an experienced and able journalist and it will not bo long until he will be found on the tripod again.—New Albany Public Press. Wo were much surprised to read tho valedictory, of W. P. Knight, of the Pike County Democrat,in the last issue. Indeed we had concluded, long since, that uur old friend was a salamander iu tho Republican limekiln, of Petersburg. But we are pleased to know that the editorship of the Democrat temains in charge of the talented .voting editor} Mr. Bynum, and that the proprietorship falls into the hands of Mr. Mount, who is vouched for as a true-blue Democrat. -[Boonville Enquirer.

Dedication of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The large congregation who were present at the consecration of this edifice, on Sunday morning last, had an experience something like a translation. The question would arise, “Where anti? Can this be Petersburg?” Audit will be sometime before visitor* to that auditorium can feel quite assured that they are even at home. The building both withiu and without is an architectural gem. It is radie»t with beauty. Located on the summit of the town, It is visible from the railway trains and indicates to passers-by that Petersburg is no longer in the woods. Its external proportions are harmonious, and the surfaces are diversified by projections, aud unequal windows of colored glass, giving charming alternations of light and shade, and making it an art study. In the graceful slate-covered spire, which rises from the north-east corner, hangs the bell, whose familiar tones have called so many, in decades gone by, to the old meeting-house. There are four entrances—one at each cornei'—but the vestibule iu the tower is tho main one. The floor in the audience room is inclined so that all may see the preacher, who ascends by three steps to his platform. Ilis exclusive furniture consists of ail elegant desk, three chairs and a pair of tables, instead of a single large one, which, in a central position, would partially hide the desk tVom view. Belrnd the platform is a spacious alcove for the organ and choir. The floor is covered with a crimson caipet, and the ceiling is of oak instead precarious and perilous plaster. From the latter four chandeliers are pendant. The pews of ash and walnut are exceedingly comfortable, and on each side of the house in a recess provided, stands a Resor's Monitor Stove. Ventilators are in tho ceiling, and fresh air can be admitted through windows no larger than a transom, and where no ono can feel a draught. The house is designed for tho uses of a congregation, and the liberal building comniittco did not restrict the architect in any particular. Already their wisdom is apparent, and it will bo thankfully approved by both this and auother generation. On Saturday night a large congregation assembled to take leave of the old church. Interesting reminiscences were given by Rev. Father Ritchey, now of Martinsville, who, himself, forty-seven years ago, bought and gave tho ground and superintended the erection of the walls. Many deserved tributes did he pay to pioneer fathers and mothers long since gone. Rev. J. E. Jenkins of Princeton, who often visited the church when vacant, also spoke of the past. Rev. M. E. Chappell reviewed' the ministry of the present pastor, and Dr. W. J. Darby of Evansville, took the prophetic text, “Watchman what ot the Night?” The memories were tender and touching and the devotional exercises were full of feeling. . The audience was at length dis

missed; and both sad and joyfol went to their homes to await the proceedings of another day The dedicatory exercises took place at 13:30 a. in. A vety able seriuou was preached by Dr. Darby, from tlie text, “Thy Kingdom Conic,” at the close of which he informed the congregation that there' vet remained a debt of $764, and that the house would not be dedicated until the balance was pledged. lie then called for pledges and the amount yvas raised, over $100 having been contributed by friends in Evansville. The house was then consecrated to a religious use in a prayer offered by ltev. J. E. Jenkins and with the doxoiogy, and the benediction by Father Ritchey, the first service in it concluded. The total cost of the edifice was $8,700. Good salaries or commission to men and women to act as local or traveling Agents. No experience needed. Stefdv work! Jamf.s E. Whitney, Nurseryman, Rochester, N. Y. (Mention this paper.) 4-m3, s.s.s. Scrofula of Lungs Relieved. I am now 49 years old, amt have soften'd for the last fifteen years with a lung trouble. Several members of the family on my mother’s side of the house had died with consumption. and the doctors were all agreed in their opinion that I had consumption also. I had all the distressing symptoms of that terrible disease. I have spent thousands of dollars to arrest the mareh of thta disease; 1 have employed all of the usual methods, not only briny own ease, bnt In the treatment of other members of my family, but temporary relief was all that I obtained. I was unfit for any manual labor for several years. By ehance I came into possession of a pamphlet on "Blood and Skin Diseases,” from the offtee of Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. A friend recommended the use of Swift’s Specific, claiming that he himself had been greatly benetltted by Its use In some lung troubles. 1 resolved to try it. About four years ago I commenced to take S. S. S. according to directions I found it an tnvigoratlngtonic, and have used about fifty hottlos. The results are most remarkable. My cough has left me. my strength has ret urned, and I weigh sixty pounds more than 1 overdid in my life. It has been three years since I stopped the use of the medicine, but I have had no return of the disease, and there are no pains or weakness felt in my lungs. I do the hardest kind of mechanical work, and feel ns well as I ever felt since 1 was a boy. These, I know, are wonderful statements to make, hut I am honest when 1 say that I owe my existence and health to-day to Swift’s Specific. It is the only medicine that brought me any permanent relief. I do nbt say that Swift’s Specific will do this in every case, but most positively iftlrm that It has done tills much for me, and I would bo recreant to the duty I owe tosuflbrlng humanity ifl failed to bear this cheerful testimony to the merits of this wonderful medielue. I am well known in the city of Montgomery, and can refer to some of the best eitixens in the city. T. J. IIolt. Montgomery, Ala., June 25,1885. Swift’s Specific is entirely vegetable.
