PATRONIZE m W. S. HOBNBROOS Is manufacturing a medi•ina of Merit, and is worthy of the people’s attention. It has proven a boon to suffering humanity, as is shown by numerous testimonials he has. Only a few of the many are given: A SPLENDID MEDICINE. I have given the Model Cough Balaam a trial. Intirely cured me of a ceugh and cold I had been troubled with for several weeks. I think it a splendid medicine. E. J. HARRIS. A BKICKiMAN CUBED. I had a tickling in my throat and a eeagh for years. I used one bottle of the Model Cough Balsam, and can truthfully say it is the only medicine I have found in town that would, give me relief. THOS. READ. Me beers its Merita. Per children afflicted with Coughs, I do not know of any remedy vrhich will give as speedy and permanent relief (without injury to the system) as the MODLE COUGH BALSAM, prepared by W. H. Hornbrook, druggist, Petersburg, Ind. I make the shove statement from a personal knowledge •f ths merits of the mediciue. H. N. King, Pastor M. E. Chu rch, Petersburg, Iud.

THE PIKE COUNTY DEMOCRAT. THPKSDAY, FEB. 6,1890. The Odou Normal will open for its third year in April. Smallpox is reported from some ol our uighboring towns._ John McGrath was killed by a freight train near Montgomery on the O. & M. Friday. *-— The Dubois jail county, has been condemned by the grand jury oil that county as being unsafe. W. J. Hilligass, of Muncie, Ind., is a candidate for Sec. of State, subject to the Democrat State Convention. The town council of Washington have invited ties F. M. B. A. to that town for the (Organization ot the State Assembly. _

A Bean Dinner will be given at Oakland, Feb, 14, by the A. H. Cockrum Post G. A. R. A great time is anticipated. The township trustees and assessors to be elected in April will serve lour years. The tenons of the preseut trustees will not expire until next Augst. Last week’s fox drive by* Knox and Sullivan counties resulted in the capture of five foxes aud having bushels of fun. Four foxes escaped from the ring_ Oakland had another fire recently. #5,000 went up in the flames. Partially insured; Dr. J. N. Taylor and John A. Farmer are the principal losers. ' __ The cry is already raised in southern Indiaua that the peach crop will be a failure uext season, as the greater portion of the buds arc already killed. There is good authority for stating that work will soon begiu ou the V. O. C., and O. Railroad, as the company hassecured the money necessary for its construction. Last Tuesday a meeting was to have commenced at Gray church, near Longbranch, Jefferson township, by the ministers of the Baptist, Methodist, and Cumberland churches. Johu L. Bretz, of Jasper, is a candidate for congress. A. M. Sweeney, of the same town, is a candidate for Clerk of the Indiana Supreme court. Of courso they are subject to the Democrat convention. Geo. W. Gullick got $100 a few days ago, for finding two mules—one at J. L. Bowman’s, the other at David Grubb's, this couuty. They had been takeu from a stable down on the Ohio river. The owner paid the reward without a murnter.

Au attempt was made last week to rob the Daviess county treasurer’s office. The tools were fouud scattered about the floor, the safe was partly prized open, but none of the contents were gone. They were evidently inexperienced robbers. There is ho clue to who made the attempt. A question of importance will probably come before the next Legislature. It is to the effect that the schoul money of the State Shall be distributed accoiding to the attendance at school, and not according to the enumeration of the towuship. Such a distribution will furnish money, it is claimed, to those who will most probably use It. And Harrison has settled the Samoa Island questiou? Yes; by letting Germany hog the whole thing. “What do ypu want, Bismark ?” was the questiou of the administration. “The earth,” says Bismark. “Go pick it up,” says the administration, aud he did fake that part known as Samoa. What a. good work Blaine did; that is, tor Germany. /j< John Dillon, formerly ot Marion township, died in Arkansas last Sunday morning. He was a splendid young man 29 years old. He was a brother of Thos. H. Dillon, ‘Esq., of this place, and a son of J antes Dillon, ot Marion township. He was brought to his old home this week and buried in New Lebanon Cemetery, Marrion township. At the time of his death he was engaged iin the hotel busi ness.

Pike county is entitled to two delegates and two alternates, and one delegate for each 50 votes cast by the Prohibitionists at the last Presidential election.

From Union : Last Sat. was Institute Day. Madison and Logan township met here with the Co. Sup’t, present, and had a good time. Miss Lettie Huey prepared an excellent dinner for the teachers, invited them all, together with Mr. Oliphant and lady and J. £. Anderson and lady. Miss Huey is the High School teacher here. She was a success with her undertaking. Before leaving the table she presented Mr. CHiphant a $118 ring that the teachers and Mr. Anderson had ordered made for tha occasion. During the presentation speech Mr. O. broke down—all broke down with tears in eyes, and those who had no tears had uo laughter. Miss Hueys presentation speech is the following: Mr. Trustee:—As this is, perhaps, the last time that we, the teachers of this township, all united as we are to day, may have the privilege and pleasure of meeting you while the present business relations exist between us, we deem it a fit opportunity to try to express, how-ever inadequately, our deep sence of the considerate kindness and courtesey with which, collectively and Individually, we have been treated by you. My fellow teachers,with that touching and beautiful veneration(?)which youth should oyer accord to age, have thrown upon my shoulders the man

j lie of holier and responsibility. If a i warm heart could make an eloquent j tongue, I sbotild feel sure of aoiug | credit to their choice. As it is, I can but join my friends in heart felt thanks for vour kindness. Some of us teach for you this winter for the first time; some bave.bcen in your employ during lioth your terms of office. AU' feel that you have been aud are the teachers friend; not only lhat,-bnt a glance around this small cricle shows that yon have been a nobly disinterested friend. Out of eight teachers, five are women, who, in return for the kindness that have been, to some of them at least, food, and drink, and shelter, have not even a vote to give you. Four of us have neither.: father nor brother of adttlt age in this township, but are creatures totaly without political influence. Verily, there have been trustees (to,their shame be it spoken) who scorned to employ such insignificant creatures. , Every one among us lias bis or her own cau»e for gratitude at being employed at home or near friends instead of being out to seek work among strangers whore seeking is not finding by any means. Oh, there is a land, the ouly one in God's universe which is better than this broad domain of Uncle Sam’s, where kindnes«s bows to those who have neither power to resent ail injury nor to repay a favor is noted down in characters of gwld upon a page of spotless purity ! with the King of that good county orphan sisters who are indebted to you for a home under the same roof, school mistresses and school masters, who mi their humble sphere do their duty,may have some influence, and with all our hearts we prey him to he as kind to you and your loved ones as you have been to us. In addition to this and as a small but tangible token of our respeef and confidiencec we, in conjunction with our friend, Mr.J.E. Anderson, i.eri present, desire to offer you, this ring. May you livetongand liappilv to wear it; and may the friendship between us, the giver and | you the reciever, be, to lite’s end, as ] pure and unbroken as this golden i circlet.

Valentines at Horn brook’s. ■-<s ■ Communicated. :- We liaveit from good authority that P. H. McCormack, of Columbus, will be a candidate for Treasurer of State, subject to the Democratic State Convention. His uame stands very favorable with the Democrats of this county. Unless Thos. Byrnes, of Evansville, should lie a candidate, Pike county will probably be a uuit for him. Hon. Wm. F. Parrott is a standing candidate for re-uominatiou for congress. Is it now time the Democrats were begining to look up a candidate for joint Senator from Knox and Pike counties? Pike has the namiug of the candidate this time. We are informed that Hon. E. P. !
