THE PIKE COUNTY DEMOCRAT. THURSDAY, OCT. 24,1889. Siuce January, 284 divorce-suits have been filed iu Marion county. Court begius November 4th next. Subscribe for the Demockat, and get the news of the session. Kyana, Dubois couu<y, has reniodrled the stave factory, which is now in good running order. The Democratic State committee meets at Indianapolis uext month, to start the campaign of 1890. Washington, Daviess county, has no cigar factory, and the papers of that town are clamoring for the establishment of oue. _ ® At the auctiou of seats tor the opening of the new opcia-house at Evansville, the first .choice weut to Chaa. Viele for <600._ A number of Pike county farmers say they will post their farms against hunters. The Dkmocrat office is the place to get such notice* printed. Oakland City |*eeple are preparing to organise a Fair Association. We bid them take courage aud go ahead. Agriculture cannot bo encouraged too much. Frcmau T. Ward, a respected citilizen of Yaale township, Davioss county, died last week from the effects of having had a bpny enlargement cut from hi* left arm. A Iluntingburg man, who had smoked 12 to 15 cigars daily siuce 11878, made a calculation and found j that the habit had cost him about SI,1850, and he at ouce swore off.—Hew Harmony lltyitter. At Sullivan 111., a little son of DF. W. Taylor made a balloon ami parachute, aud ascended to a highl of about 250 feet. He cut his parachuth loose with au old pair of scissors, and descended in safety.—New Harmony Remitter. j Maia Calt, of West ol Petersburg, told us recently that there is in his neighborhood a buzzard carrying attached to its neck a brass bell. Several of the neighbors have sgpn and | herd the bell. He saw the bird himself and tried to catch it, bVt failed. [The bird Is said, by some papers, to have been lulled in Teunesee. The owner should conn- up here after his buzzard, as we have no use for it lu i this country. Harrison township. Daviess county, voted in favor of the tax to build a railroad from Jat|>er to Washington. hut the verv township yi which Washington is located voted against the tax, by a majority of 357. Harrison township gave a majority of 110 lor the apprigpiation. The electiou in Harrison township took place on Monday ot last week; the other on Friday last. John Xichoiis, of Holland, Dubois county, and Miss Sarah Harvey, of near Stendal, this county, are to be married to-day. The ceremony will be |>erforined at the bride's father's residence, John Harveys, Rev. Wesley M. Chandler, officiating. The happy couple will reside near Hoilaud. There is to lie a great time for the enjoyment ef the frieuds and relatives of the bride and groom. Mr. Xlchous is a prosperous young farmer, and Miss Harvey is, or has been, one of the many good teachers of Pike county. May they sail o’er lite's rough sea peacefully and happily.

A synuicaie oi geniicmcu receuuy i purchased the red-stoue quarries at ; Kvana, this county, from Dr. lleaust, j of Nsw Albany, for 120.000. It is the j iuteiition of the company to organize with (100,000 capital,and uot ouly de- i veiop the iniues, but build side-tracks and switches Irom me Air I.iue railroad to it. Among those in the deal are the Hon. C. L. Jewitt, of New Albany ; Stale Senators 11. M. lx»g»don, and Mr. Martin, of Roekport, aud the Hou. John U. Overmever and Mr. Trigg, a hanker of North Veruon,; Ind.—JJHntwgbttrg Independent. In Lafayette the saloon license has been raised, aud now the saloon keepers have organized an association, whose object Is to see that all men who retail liquor shall pav the license. They say that drug stores and wholesale dealers reguarly sell liquors iu , less quantities tnau a quart, aud, as a j matter of self-defense, the association, which is composed entirely oi licensed : retailers, will take steps to preveut | this practice in the future. One of j the great advantages of high^liceuse, I is that it makes those wjw pay it a j sort ot voluntary police fdree to watch j aud preveut infringements of the law.| —Ex, _ \ A newspaper writer say&owusaud I cities are not built up by one mau. It j takes a good many to do that. They ! must work together and not selfishly, I each for himself. If you want business to come aloug, encourage those I who want to come. Dou't try to ait j down on them asking double prices j for your buildiug sites, or by telliug! them there are already more engaged | in that Hue of trade than the situation i -^ItyuAifjr. Dou't show them that! you are jealous aud prefer that they should stay away. Welcome a wideawake, progressive man whenever one comes along. Show that you appreciate his energy and pluck, aud lend him a helping hand when occasion offers. Do not discourage him by Eclating the failures ef other men. Let him alone. If heie the right kind of a man he will be able to teke care ot himself. Don’t be eternally diecnaaing wby your town la so alow. Better take off your coat aud do a little something toward making it otherwise. It takes e number of people to make a town prosperous. Be one of those yourself, instead of watching to see how your neighbors are going to accomplish it. It can’t be done by sittinfdown. It can't be done by keeping oqt of new enterprise., but

A taking a hand in them yourself. When yon have to hoy anything, don’t go to a laiger city to get it, and then denounce home dealer* for not having it on handa; they know yonr ways, and are i^gt going to inveat in things which you and others go elsewhere to buy. No sir; don’t wait for strangers to build up your town. Help to do it yourself; don’t wait until the last moment, either, when all hands dishearten, but come forward immediately. If you are a man of means, and influence, take the lead.. If you can help your town, remember that you are helping yourself. Shake off your eleepiuese, and go to work, FIRST ASKUAL RE-LHIOS OF rompaaj D. 68th Ind. Volunteers Held Last Tharsdav, at D- C.

Mr. B. had sent oufiuvilations to all the members of the company, so far as be could, to meet at his residence and enjoy a good time. Mr. B. was a favorite member of the company, and when the old veterans meet at his residence, he war one of the happiest of those who met with him to enjoy his h<£italltl«s. After dinner the company was called to order, and R. M. Munford was chosen chairman. D. C. Barrett was elected President; W. S. Ennos, Secretary ; G. W. Shopbell, Treasurer; R. M. Munford and W.

GOT TWO YEARS. Lee Chambers Is Sentenced to the Pen f»r Burglar;. The trial of Lee Chamber* the young man who wm arrested two week* ago for breaking into J. F. Hove*’ a ud other dwelling* and stealing two g u n s a u d *oiue money and jewelry, took place Monday afternoon which resulted tu the jury returning a verdict of guilty aud tixiug the punishment at two years in the |ienitentiary. Chamber* recently came he.e with hi* father from St. Louis and ha* been working at the painter’* trade, lie i* a slick looking youug man aud the wall* ot the JeffersativUla penitentiary will probably hare a salubrious effect ou hi* nature. When the sentence wa» read he vu very nervous, notwithstanding the fact that hi* deportmeut during the trial wa* anything but uneasiues*.— Washington Gazette. This cate of house-brsakiug i* the one which lead to the arrest at Wasl^ ingtou during the Davies* county Fair of Samuel Mar*ee, Walter Mitchell, and Frank Thomas, three youug men of this county, aud who have brought suit for false imprisonment aud damage of character against the parties whoa? houses were broken into, as well a* against certain officials ot Daviess couuty and of Washington. The Evans Brother*, of the Petersburg 1‘rtss sued a man recently for eieveu dollars and some eeuts, and got a judgment for onlv two. What puzzles the boy*i* to find out how the debtor failed to get judgment against them. Thut rcuii uds u* of a case that W. P. Knight had. He once sued a man who owed him on subscription, aud got judgment against the fellow who was a constable. Now the constable had his property “set off,” in other worda took advantage of the law. This brought Mr. Kuight in for the cost. Ho wailed till this same couttable and low-dowa scoundrel came to collect the coat, thinking he would surely let his own fees goon what was owing to Mr. Knight. Did he do it ? Not much! He collected hia feea off Mr. Knight iu a suit iu which be was defendant a.id which really showed a judgment against himself. We have always believed that man bad more aud stronger gall than any othet man living. Mr. Knight ought to have indicted him before the grand jury, which he could have done. A week ago Sunday morning a gtainery belonging to William Grubb, of Logan township, was destroyed by fire. The bin contained flve hundred and twenty bushels of good wheat. It is supi>oied to be the work of au incendiary, as it was situated too far from anything that could hare set it afire. — ■■ Fleming’! at the slot
