This week and next Silverware will be sold at cost at, Hammond’s. A man without money is uot afraid ot losing it. A man without sense, ditto.

An interesting Festival was had in the JjC; I. Church in Winslow, Christ* was night. Any ouo wishing, a clock can buv cue cheaper this and next week than ever before, at Hammond’s. The American women place aridity ional hair on their brows, while the Chinese shave off that they have. Augusta had two Christmas trees.

Mr. Liil»a, the new baker, is said to be the best this towu ever had, and lie don’t pay us for saying this either. It is said that deep freezing improves the soil. If this is true we should not complain of cold weather. Two dollar silver certificates will aosn be in circulation, llicy have been ready for distribution for sometime. The Evansville & Term Haute Itailroad declared a dividend of one ami a quarter per cent., payable January 5th, 1887. ' President Cleveland Is suffering from Rheumatism.

Former prices on bracelets, necklaces, pins, chains, watches, rings, ♦ harms, ear rings are declared off for two weeks, at Hammond’s. The Daviess County Democrat does not talk so very kindlcv of Mr. T. A. Bynum. We do notkhow whom Mr. Bynum has sinned against. Any one having business with this paper should consult with the proprietor, or leave explanatory writing at the oftce ia care of the compositors. The young people, who need book keeping and business penmanship should attend 6. W. Thomas’ school. Those branches are thoroughly taught. Call at the Democrat office when In town, and leave a smile if you have nothing else to leave. A chare of yonr patronage will please us of course. The young ladies and gentlemen of Petersburg are solicited by S. W. Thomas to join his class in book keeping ami business penmanship. Terms reasonable. The regular examination of applicants for license to teach was held on Monday27th, as previously announced. Twelve applicants were all that came out on that cool morning. Bock keeping either i>y single or double eutry, business penmanship and commercial arithmetic thoroughly flight by S. W. Thomas, Petersburg. Rooms in Carpenter Building. Our coal dealers do not advertise. They expect the people to bant their place of business, the bank, and themselves. Advertisement in the Democrat would be a great convenience. See?. If news paper meu would let advertisers have their way every other article would be an advertisement, at greatly reduced rates, aud the paper' would bo about as inviting an a Texas cactus.

Spa ngler, the new teacher of the High School,'of Petersburg, iu place of F. F. llostettcr resigned, was STeare I^ajjte,' and his were sent byHhe sup’t of te county superintendent r for examination. Mr tirty years old, of some experience iu teaching, be a success. He comes wen reccommended. The people await the setting of the Legislature with more a ixiety thau for years. They seem to be more anxious about whether “my party succeeds” than about any legislation for the benefit of the mases. Judicious legislation is what shotild be desired, rather than the satisfaction of knowing that one's own party succeeds, which is only a desire born of political prejudice. Dr. Wesencraft is endeavoring to pursuadc Congress to grant him 4„000,000 acres of desert land along the Mexican border, that he may turn the Colorado River iuto it and make it fertile. The doctor is willing to pay the appraised value of the land. He has already secured 1,000,000 acres from Mexico con tiguous to the Amcri can tract he desires. It seems to be rather a iair proposition. According to the returns of the local health hoards of the state to Secretary Metcalf 33,021 children were born in the State during the past year. Of this number 19,773 were males and 18,288 females. There w ere 6S8 colored children, €93 still births, 551 illegitimates, 441 twin births, and 5 triplets. The youngest mother was twelve years of age aud the eldest six

January 1, will soon bo hero. We want to begin the new year in a man ner that will succeed if followed out We sincerely thank the patrons of the Df.mocrat for tavors herefofore shown us, and we hope they/may see cause for a continuation. (Though the oldest paper in the county, the Democrat is not at all enfeebled by any of the ups and downs of iife, but feels that invigoration which age always give a live newspaper, and is fuliy determined to merit its full share of patronage. The Democrat is to day a butter advertising medium than at any former time in its history, for it lias now a 'arger and a better circulation. “Nothing succeeds like succcess,” and no one connected witli tlie Democrat calculates short of this. Give us our share of patronage, and we will treat you right. During your recesses call at the Democrat office, exchange kind feelings with us, and make the battle of life and the st-p into the eternal future all the easier.

In one of the suits instituted by the County Commissioners of Harrison Bounty against Auditor A.. W. Brewster, of the same county, on a claim that the Auditor was short in liisacEounta, atrial was had in the CrawFord circuit court, on change of venue, an the I4th, and judgement rendered in favor of Auditor Brewster for over six hnndered dollars. Two other Bases remain to he tried and it is Boufidentlv predicted by t he Auditor's Friends that he will gain Votli of them. Sinco the appearance of an article in one of our great dailies and which was copied by tin Democrat last week, there has been a copy of the same article in jdl> or nearley all, of fifty or more exchanges—daily and avtinla Knlatoo weekley papers. The article relates to a report of finding silver ore in Dubois county. A similar find in Pike conntr sometime ago wore out a great deal of type-and more patience. A few,More similar developementa in Pike and Dubois wil not make us either wiser or richer, hut they may be frllowed by an increase of imates at t.ie assylutn for the insane. Obituary. Died, in Marion township, Pike county, December I9th, 1886, Sally E. Robinson, daughter of Leroy and M. J. Robinson, ot consumption, in the twenty-first year of her age. She was a loving and pleasant girl. Her whole life, while a girl, was so impressive that it made her manr friends. She loved her parents, and shared with them alike their jova and sorrows. In 1881, sho confessed faith in Christ, and cried, like Hilnb, “Come with us, for the lord has spoken good concerning Isroal.” From this time to her death, she took an active interest in the church. “Let os sing hallel ujah,” was among her last words. She leaves a lather, mother, throe sisters, and four brother* to mourn her loss. A sister, Hattie, died nearly elcren mouths ago. She too was a Christian. They two are in Heaven. How truly “Man cometb forth like si flower and Is cut down. He ilcethlike a shad w and continueth not. Though sin is lead yet she lives, and will never die.

How is the Velocity effected ? What would be the effect i* the Nile were to cease overflowing?

Origin of “Chestnut.” (Sew York Letter.] Edward Lamb, the comedia;), gave me the other day the origin of the slang word “chestnuts,” in such commou use at preseut to designate and prohibit an old joke or story. In a once'.popular, but uow forgotten play, called^ “The Broken Sword,” one character Insisted on telling an incident which happeutd to him while seated under au oak tree. All the other characters in the play insisted that it was a chestnut tree, and whenever the garrulous old fellow begins the story the chsrus chimes in “chestnuts.” The “chestnut bell” toy, by the way, has made a handsome fortune foi its inventor and manufacturer, Charles Davis, of Philadelphia He has made aud sold more tliau ha f a million of them, and the sale of the little nuisance goes on still.

Advice. Some of our cotemporarios, especially tliose of Washington and Petersburg, will protit by the following advice which P. G\ A. never once intended for them, but winch so well fits their case that we publish it aa pul up by the author. He calls it AESOP'S FABLE WITH A NEW MOMAL. The ot her day •' Across the war, As a journey I chanced to make, I saw a dog, Upon a log. Carrying a piece of steak. In the stream below, The dog you know, Ilia shadow chanced to spy. Quoth he, “that steak I’ll shortly take Or know the reason why.” SO in the brook, llis way he took. The other dog to “mop.” He got no blood, But in the mud, “Something was heard to drop.” This fable old. In Greece was told; The moral’s easy known: Its always lair, To have your share. But let “well enough” atone. r. c. a.

Thrift of the Jews. Whoever writes a fnl), truthful his tory of the Jewish race, will' write the most intensely interesting history ever penned or formhlated for human consideration. If they are not God’s chosen pe<>ple, they roust be next akin thereto, judgiug from the inextinguishabilitv of the race under persecution and oppressions that entirely obliterate in a generation what the Jewish, Hebrew, or more properly speaking, the Semitic race have made headway against for ages. The ancestors yf the race come to the front with the d iwn of that which we term history, ami no one knows how long before they occupied and beautilied the country of the Jordon and the Nile, and t rough broken as a government. they festoon and eontrol iu their peculiar line of aim and attention in every part of the globe. From the time when the Semite Abraham emigrated 2,000 years before Christ, from Ur of the Chandees to tkia day, the Jewish race has ever contended a sd ever succ eeded.
