THE PIKE COON’fY DEMOCRAT. ” THURSDAY, FEB. 13, 1890. ■wgfgg—1 '■ '■ 11 —LL'L-JL^ Oa the 17th of this mouilli, Warrick county will put a Prohibition ticket iu the Held._ Oakland has. a colored mau named Ayres who has made the fourth attempt to suicide by the arsenic route. To-morrow is St. Valentine's Day. If the editor of the Democrat does not get a waste basket full ot bitter missiles, he will be greately disappointed. _

Priuceton has a few people who aie willing to disgrace themselves by indulging seances. Someof thecitizeus have in their houses paripbernalia for conversing1'?)with the dead. Vincennes is to have a number of |20,000 houses erected the coming Summer, will sink another coal shaft, and consume a great quantity of tongue and paper (news) gas. A few industrious fellows in this couuty are looking forward to the commencing of work on theV. O. & O. railroad. They expect to get employment in helpiug to construct the road. A mortgage on the Viuceunes, Oakland City and Owensboro road to the New York Central Trust Company for one million four hundred thousand dollars was recorded in this county this week._• Across the Wabash river about two miles above Mt. Carmel the government is building a dam. It can be of no use to the people except to make fishing a Utile better in that locality. It will dispose of $200,000 of the peoples lax money. In the Vanderburgh county circuit court is a case agaiusl the P. D. & E. railroad for $20,000 damages. It was brought by Walter Smith for iujuries received by oue of t|»e trains running over him at Greenville, 111. Both his feet were taken off by the accident. The piping of summer birds is heard; a bluebird has shown bimseif, aud all the harbingers of spring are noted. But February and Marcia are the worst months of Winter, aud it will not be wise to make up one’s mind that there’s to be no ‘‘uastj” weather. Wild geese aud ducks are said to be plentiful in the rivers aud ponds of Southern Indiana aud Kentucky, aud hundreds of them are being killed by hunters. The fowls are on their way North, aud they arc feeding •in the bottoms along the Ohio, Wabash, and White rivers. The Corporation Assembly of the F. M. B. A. of Boon township, embracing Boouville aud vicinity opeuly wiihdrew from the Township Assembly last week on account of forcing a resolution to liomiuato a township ticket. A small number of the township, assemblies met subsequently and nominated a ticket.—Bobnville Enquirer. William S. Kobiusou, a wealthy Knox couuty farmer, last week became temporarily deranged and committed suicide. He put the muzzle of his gun in his mouth, touched the trigger with is foot, and blew the top of his head off. Family afflictions and some other troubles had made h>m a coward, aud he thus put an end to his ills. The Stockholders of the Pike County Agricultural and Mechanical Association met at the court house last Saturday and elected directors as follows: A. J. Patterson, Isaac It. Lett, Josiah Newkirk, A. II. Taylor, S. J. Haines, W. A, Oliphaut, Leslie Lamb, Idas. A. Shepard, Enibree Lamb, Jas. D. Ilollon, Chas. Boonshot, and Lucius Thomas. /Mrs Janies Blair died of pneumonia at her heme near Algiers last Monday 1 evening. She first had la grippe, then puenmotiiia with the above result.

E. church and a most consistent Christian. / Miss Mattie McCall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander McCall of Daviess County, Ind., died on Sunday, of pneumonia. She was, probably, the largest woman in Southern Indiana. She was twenty vears of age, and before being taken down, weighed three hundred and thirty-five .pounds. She bad been of unnatural size ever since a very young child, gradually increasing in weight as she advanced in age.—Evansville Journal.

Jeffersonville, Ind., Feb. 6.—Mary Hooper, 17, and Rachael Ferguson, 18 years of age, had * desperate light yesterday at Utica, six miles from this city. The girls are receut converts to the Baptists, and were yesterday to be baptized in the river. The Hooper girl objected to Ferguson going in first, She deliberately struck her on the nose and blackened her eye, and when separated by Minister Westly made au attack on him. The whole baptizing broke up in a rorr, and great consternation in religions circley exists in rhe village. ^ The funeral of-* Miss Minerva E. Barker took place at her fathers residence iia Madison township on Tuesday of last week. She had died of consumption of which she was a long sufferer. At the time of her death she was 21yrs old. She was a member of fhc U. B. church. She was the youngest child of lion. James Barker whoatallcu bis time-tried friends Rev. J. W. Richardson of the Reg. Babtisi church and Rev.
