There has been no evidence of its appearance iu this county as vet. Street crossings on lower Eighth street are conspicuous for their absence. The sidewalks arc among the worst in our town.

It is a day of practical rejoicing in the good things of this world-and the re even be people whose months aro fuller of turkey than their hearts of thanks. But every yonr the area of the feast enlarges. Every year there are more people who sit down to “groaning boards,” as (he reporters happily express ii, upon occasions of civic festivity. Dear old Thanksgiving 1 Long and long may bis hospitable board be spread.

Kisses by Festal Order. Not long since the postmaster of a certain village was presented a mon-ey-order by a young lady from the country who seemed to bo very bashful. She had come into the office, and when the money had been paid over, tho postmaster asked her if she bad read the words in the margin, to which she answered negatively ; these words were, “I send you $3 and a dozen kisses.” “Well,” said tho postmaster, '’now 1 have paid you the money, I suppose you want the kisses.” The basliful girl said, ”yes, if lie lias sent me any kisses I want them too.” The balance oftho order was paid promptly ami in a way entirely satisfactory to the girl, who came out of tho office smacking her lips as if there was more sweetness upon them than she had ever known. Arriving at home she said to her mother, “Eh, mother, but this postoffice system of ours is a great thing, developing more and more every year, and each new feature added seems to 1 be tile best. Jimmy sent mo a dozen kisses along with tho money-order, and tho postmaster gave me tweutv. It beats the special delivery system all hollow.” Our Christmas Goods Arc here, and all are invited to call and see.

RAILROAD SEWS. With winter mines delayed trains. Freight traffic is Jivelv on the E. & I. The Vincennes rood appears to be; among the tilings that are to be. The wrecking train on the E. & I. made a trip Friday, gathering up fragments of late wrecks along the line. A wrecked freight train on the Evansville and Indianapolis Railroad, near Eel River, delayed all trams, on the 17th Inst. Conductor Hardy, formerly on a passenger run on the E. & I., is now running a “mixed’’ on the north end. Mr. llnflmau, who has been on the main line a number of years, is now conductor on the E. & I. The rude brakeman again. “Is this the right train” a lady asked of a brakeman the other day. “Where are.yon going ma’am?” replied the brakeman. “None of your buisness, sir,” retorted the ladv. “I shall report vou to the superintendent for impudence.” And she actually did. The Air-line railroad company has Hied in the Recorder's office in every county along the line two mortgages, one for $2,000,000 first mortgage and one for $3,000,000 second mortgage. The monev derived from the sale of these bonds is to be devoted to the payment of the betterment of the road and the extension of the lines from Mt. Vernon, III., to St. Louis.

TOWN TALI, “If there is any thing the town needs it is sidewalks,” said a prominent citizen the other day. “Do you know that Em. Ilarrell is mentioned us a candidate for Marshal, said “one of the boys” to a Democrat scribe one day this week. A business man says: “I see that the town .council of Lexington, 111., has adopted an ordinance prohibiting boys under the age of 20 years from being upon the streets after 9 o’clock at night. Such an ordinance is needed here, it appears to me.” “Did you hear of Ed. Smith’s promotion,” said J. B. Young, Monday. “He received a letter addressed Ed. Smith Altornci -General Petersburg Ind Pike county.” Ed’s promotion to the office of Attorney-General was made by a resident of the county who addressed to him a letter as above stated. “You ought to have seen Jim Brumfield ‘fire’the Democratic deputies about the court house last Thursday, and that, too, before his bond as Sheritf was approved; and they say he told one of the juryman, a Democrat, that he would not be needed any longer. I do not know that this is true about the jurymen, but everyone about the court house was laughing about Bruntiield giving Shrode's deputies their walking papers’ before his (Brumfield's) bond was approved.” This conversation was imparted to a Democrat attache by a gentleman who is connected with county atlairs. It shows that Jim is forninst civil service reform.

Our County Officials. William J. Sh rude's term of office as Sheriff expired on the 17th just. Mr. Shrode’s record needs no sounding praises at our hands. Throughout his term of office, he has been honest and unassuming, conducting the affairs of hit office to the satisfaction of lho people without regard to party, and retires from the office with the good will of the public generally. His successor, James Brumfield, is a clever young man, who possesses the qualities to make a good Shet iff, and, though he was not the Democrat's choice, this ’paper will commend him for his qualities of merit as well as his official conduct; which we hope to be as praiseworthy as that of his predecessor. Auditor William J. Bothell will continue business at the old stand for four years longer. His first term expired on the 17lh inst. "‘Doc's” genial spirit and “mixing” , qualities made him a strong candidate, lie is a “hustler” in politics indeed, lie has much company in the Court house uow, but i'* bus been very loueson e fora Republican official in the Court house for a number of years. Jackson Ferguson will succeed Frederick II. Poetker as Treasurer. With Mr. Poetker, public office was a public rust, anti his administration of the office of Treasurer met with the approval of the tax-payers, and at the official closing of his term the public will part with one of the best Treasurers Pike county ever placed in the offiee. To Ids successor, the. Democrat extends best wishes for a continuance of the model administration praetieed by Mr. Poetker. Pern S. Withers term as Coroner expired on the 17th inst., and liis sueeessor is John S. Kinman. Pent was a painstaking officer, and Mr. Kinman will make a good record if lie proves as faithful as his predecessor. Joseph A. Carr, a practical surveyor, and a rising young man, fills this office, Fraukiin It. Bilderbuck’s term expiring on the 17th. Vinson France, Commissioner, Third District, wiH retire from office on December l, 1886, to be succeeded by Wesley M. Chandler. • 'Cloudlet Morgan will discharge the duties of County Clerk after April 1, 1887. __ Excitement in Texas. (treat excitement lias been caused In the Vicinity of Paris, Tex., by the remarkable recovery of Mr. .1. E.

Wanted to Know. Who starts the scandals. When the streets will be lighted. When sidewalks will bo repaired. If the “crap shooters”are still alire. When gossips will stop gossiping. Who will be Mr. Morgan’s deputy. When lieub Hammond will get married. When “walking jackets”.will be able to walk. When grumblers will cease to to grumble. Why manufactories do not locate at Petersburg. When the word “chestnut” will become a ehcstnnt. When the clouds will roll by. [This is subject to eh unite.] What amusements will be furnished for the holidays. Why every one doesn't buy a ticket to the course of lectures. Who Joe Stubblelield will vote tSt. for United States SenatorJ When all the churches will be crowded with people, listening to sermons. How a certain editor could live if he wasn't tiring “paper wads” at some one. How Brothers Gladish and Harrell cai^dwell in unity, when there is to he a division of county printing.

A Cyclone, The Pereberon Mormon seems to he the coming “hose.” The fence must indeed be strong, well staked and rrdered to keep the outside hertl 1‘iom breaking through and destroying tlie crops planted in the vineyard of Democracy. A sort of a cyclone has been sweeping down upon the devoted heads of the yeoman of the comity, who for a short period have been the upper crust, overwhelming the verdant forests recently planted on this foot-stool of our God, sweeping do^n every vestage of moral goodness and leaving the blackened ruins of t'he destructive lava that pours down tiie green political slope; but in the two years ago has ceased to be the only reliable source from moneyed oligarchy, and that is the strides of Democracy, portrayed in the Systematized work of the Knights of Labor whose hands are as yet not high enough to awake the American sense of re sponsibilitv to justice and the auicliurizutiou of man to man. P. 8. W. The Huntingburg Independent says: “It is now thought that Penny Harrison will take another reef in the slack of his breeches, that they may no longer sweep tiie pavement' as he walks along."
