THE PIKE COUNTY DEMOCRAT. THPRSDAY, FEB. 2ft, 1890. Go lo church. Cold waves come, aud go s«>on. Trade with your home merchant. Easter Sunday conies oti April 6th. Winslow hoastsof prospects of having a Bew saloon in th^ near future. February 22 is the time for cclebratiug Washington's birthday. It wifi be quite generally observed. The argument on the constitutionality of the school book law has been postponed till the 27th of this month. The Daviess county Fair will be held this year from September 29 to Oct. 4. They bad a good fair last year. __ The Sous of Veteraus gave a banquet aud ball at the opera house last Friday night. They had a pi olitable aud pleasant time.__ The people at Washington talk oi building another school house the coming Summer. The machine shops have necessitated it. Sugar orchards are said to be productive,there having been no freezing weather notwithstanding. It explodes an old theory that cold weather is necessary to a good flow ol sap in sugar trees. _ Valentine Day did not biing “ye” editor a single caricature ot his wicked self. lie feels disappointed. Our enemies shall not be..forgottcu for this kindness shown to.onc.iu political affliction.

Esquire Barrill.T. Mcridth died .at his home iu Washington last week, ile was oue of Daviess county's most noted citizens. Royal E. Geeliug also died at the same place on Thursday of last week. __ Quite a number of the knowing ones are looking forward to the time that seems close at hand when the Mackey Syndicate will gobble up the proposed Viueeuues, Oakland City and Owensboro railroad. A line horse belonging to Dr. J. T. Kime, at Union, came nigh dying ol an unknown and severe disease the past week. It is not supposed to be contagious or epidemic. A wreck occurred at Juliet u few days ago, and killed a number of people. Among them were prominent citizens of Mitchell and neighboring towns. The engines were broken to pieees, and some of the cars were burslcd open iu the collision. In organized malitia fore# Indiana has twenty-three ofliceis, 23l artilery men and 2,053 infantry, a total of 2,30(5 organized men for the Slate militia service. The number of available but unorganized militiamen for the Stale is reported at 433,603. The canned goods men had a meeting at Indianapolis a few days ago. This may hncan a monopoly ol canned goods, but it will not do any good,for (he people can put up their owu canned fruit, and that will settle the monopoly business in this respect at least. Pike county had a good Fair last year, and judging from present indications, this year will eclipse anything the county has had. A splendid Board of Directors lias been elected and (becoming Fair is already engaging the attention of the stockholders. The meeting at the M. E. Church has been so far a success. On Sunday night, seven joined the church, making sixteen in all up to that time. There is a prospect for a good meeting, though Rev. H. N. King is physically almost unable to standthe hard work to which he has been subjected. A pair of saddle bags 74 years old are to be seen iu the office of Secretary- of the State Board of Agriculture at Iudiauapoiis. They were used by Gen. Jas. Noble, the first U. S. Senator'from Indiana. During his 15 year’ll, senatorial career lie used them ou the road to and from Washington. Robert Elkins and Gits.Elkins were arrested Tuesday morning on a charge of having beeu implicated in breaking into “Wes Coleman’s dry goods store at Algiers oue night last week. They were taken before ‘Squire Edtpondson near Otwcli. They gave bond for appearance for tril which is to take place a week from next Friday. Tue streets of our town are undergoing a grading that will add much to the appearance of the town. From present indications i„t seems that Petersburg, already above an average, will be one of the most beautiful small cities in the West. Everybody who comes here speaks in the highest terms of the town and the citizens. May the good work go on is the wish of all.

Many schools in Southern Iudiaiia closed on account of la grippe. We are happy to say that Petersburg was not so severely afflicted, and that the disease has about subsided, though several cases of pneumonia were developed from it. Notwithstanding these facts, our community has suffered less than most places. This is accounted for by the fact that we have a veiy healthful country in and about Petersburg. Pike county is generally healthful. It is rumored that the Chicago monopoly contemplates establishing a cold storage branch here and selling meat to the people at such low prices as will take the business away from the home butchers. They have such a branch in Evansville and in shipping their meat to that city it would not be much trouble for them to drop olTenough here to supply this market. While we do not want to see this concern get a foothold here, we would like to sec the home butchers sell meat at a more moderate price.—! Princeton Clarion.

« Mr*. Albert FI. Johnson died at her home iu Madison township at 4 o’clock last Thursday evening. We have not learned her age, but we suppose her to be about 31 or 32 years old. She was the wife of Commissioner Johnson. Before her marriage to Mr. Johnson her name was Mary Pancake. Her health had been reasonably good untill she took pneumonia which resulted in her death. She leaves a husband aud three children, one of whom, a little girl, has been suffering of pueumoiiia since her mother’s death. The funeral took place at the residence iu Madison township, aud the iutermeDt at Walnut Hills Cemetry on Saturday. Mrs. Johnson was an exemplary wife and mother whose friends will greatly miss her. * J The County Commissioners met last Monday to hear a petition and a remonstrance from the citizens of 1 Madison1 township; The petition | asked the Commissioners": to enforce i the stock law in that township. It contained 112 names of residents of the township, and 17 names of persons who resideout side the township, but wbo pay taxes therein. The remonstrance contained 96 names ot resident taxpayers. Commissioner Johnson was not present. Commissioners Ilnlehens and Chandler decided in favor of enforcing the law. This is the first township in Pike county in which the stock law goes into eftect. The petition requires the keeping up of all kinds of live stock.

A IIgilt occurred at Aiieni two nines east of Petersburg last Friday night, between Paul Laugton and Buel Eilert. Laugton is not yet 21 years old, while Eilert is but a few years older. Laugton cut Eilert fire times with a knife or razor, no one knows which. Four times he slashed Eilert’s left arm, and once he hit Eilert in the face, cutting an ugly gash near the left eye. Eilert is at his home, nursing his wounds, but Laugton has fled the country. Laugton was out of the reform school on his good behavior, and should lie be captured he will either be sent back or be sent to Jeffersonville. Eilert:s wounds are ugly, but he will recover, if he has no bad luck. A card has been received at this office announcing that Mr. S. G. Davenport and Miss Carrie Hisgen will be married at the Presbyterian church this evening at 8 o’clock, and that the reception will take place at the Bride’s residence on Main street at 8:30 o’clock. Mr. Davenport is a promising younglawyer ol this place. Miss Hisgen- is the accomplished daughter ot Win. Hisgen, Sr., late of this place, now of New York. The Democrat wishes the happy parties all that success in life can bestow upon them. To Oar Friend’s and Customers. As we have sold out our Grocery business to Messrs.

Respectfully, Fleming & Sons. Begs That Laugh. Last Saturday, as John Noe was passing the residence of C. Laswell, lie saw a red fox coming, followed close by two hounds. Tlte fox and the hounds were run down. Mr. Noe saw the fox run into Mr. Laswell’s stable, and called to Mr. Laswell who looked in the stable without seeing the fox. As lie was -walking away the fox ran out, aud was held in check by a shepherd dog that was following Mr. Noe. The hounds came up and soon killed Mr. Fox. The hounds pranced about their prize and showed their teeth as if laughing. The hounds were unknown—one a black, and the other a tan color. The fox was nearly as large as either hound. « . Hunter.

La Grippe. * * * From Spurgeon: Will some one through your paper explain these points of scripture ? Now, we know that all denominations hold that the Jewish church is a type ot the Christian people. Let us see how that works: “My sheep hear uiy voice and they follow me, and a stranger they will not follow.” Keep in mind these are sheep for Christ, who said he came but to the lost sheep of the house of Isrcal. Mow Job say he came to his own and his own received him not. Yet they heard his voice, and were sheep. Some of his sheep received him, and he gave them power to become the sons of God. Some ot his sheep rejected him. See Luke II: 24. You will see there are two kinds of sheep. One caused the Son of God to be put to death, and one sheep sold him for money. Also sec Romans XI: 20. One gang of sheep heard his voice, and the other did (likewise. Which is right, and which ot them must we follow*? Henry Ferguson. 0 * * * Pleasant Grove* Sunday School:— Whereas,, It has pleased our Heavenly Father to call from our midst our Sunday schoolmate, Sallie Hade)if, to a clime where trouble and paiu never come, we deem it right and proper for tiic school to show its high appreciation of the character of one so young and faithful. Resolved, That, through the death of our beloved schoolmate, the school has lost one of its youngest, brightest and most devoted members; one that carried gladness and sunshine to every heart, and was always found in her class ready to do all the good she could do in her way. Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. Resolved, Thai, as God is mysterious m his ways and wisdom, and knows the best, doing all things well, we will rely on the hope that our little sister will nestle by us unawares and watch .with us the gathering ol loved ones in time to come. Resolved, That these resolutions be sent to Bro. Itadclif, that they be entered on the Sunday school record, and that a copy of them he sent to the Petersburg papers. Dora Beard,) C. W. H.

From Headquarters G. A. R., Morgan Post No. 15: We,.the committee to whom was delegated the duty ot replying to the response of Mayor James S. Ostrander, of Richmond, in response to the toast, “The G. A. R.”, would say: Vi cut Ostrander; Vital G. A. R. The Republic: A nation established by soldiers; whose soil is stained by the blood of dying millions who gave their lives for a sacrifice and free offering; hundreds of the hardest fought battles known to the history of the world. Their bodies lie to day mouldering in one common tomb, together with thousands ot arms and legs of comrades who arc yet living. They, with us, are the true representatives of loyalty, bearing the marks of spite and revengeful spirit of traitors to God aud this Republic. The visible G. A. R. is composed of those who were detailed to fill some position in the Grand Army Triumphant. Hurried on by the death dealing missile, fired by traitors to liberty and.enemies to humstnity, their bones to-day stand guard over the battle field’s where they gave their lives as a sacrifice to the Republic. Their memory is dear; and they are eherished by all true lriends of the Republic. The visible G. A. R. is composed of those who filled their positions of trust with honor, and have had given them at the expiration of their service an honorable discharge as a shield against lying enemies, feinds who would lore to dishouor aud disgrace the noble remnant who are living, who offered their lives, their health, their all, to be sacrificed to snpport and sustain the first and only Republic kuown to the world, guaranteeing civil and religious liberty.

IS, A. held an open door meeting at the Simpson school house, Logan township, and, iiothwillistandiug sickness amj inclement weather, a good crowd was on . Hon. Lewis Loveless made a speech which I think good, and will give y:ti a synopsis ot it as follows. 1. lie spoke of jmeieut, mideteval, and midcru farming. He showed the grea: improvements in fartuiug, and said “the future would show an age of improvement far superior to the improvement that lias been made.1 lie said crery profession iu the world was dependent on tanning; if it were not lor the farmer all would starve. If here was auy profession that was honorable it was farming. It was true that farmers had been made hewers of wood and drawers of water, but this was to sonic extent their own fault. They have, said the speaker, the power to remedy this evil if they chose to do so. It was strange that all other professions began to kick when the farmers commenced to organize’for self protection Nothing worthy the name can be accomplished without organization. The Freemasons, Odd Fellows, Good Temples, and Grand Army of the Republic have their organizations, and why ? Because they could accomplish nothing without it. These are ail noble organizations and have good objects and aims iu view. Look hotv many organizatiousare formed against: the Farmers. -(There several organizations were refered to as hostile to the Farmers) lu the past because the fanners had not been organized and properly instructed they bad fallen an easy prey to dishonest sharpers. The farmers had accomplished much, through the F. M. B. A. and would accomplish more. Let Lhem attend to their own busiucss strictly and good would be the result. It has been said that the F. M. B. A.

would form a uew party/in Politics. This is a mistake. If this should be attempted it would be the death kucll of the organization. A Republican rotes the Republican ticket because he believes the doctrine of Protection. A Democrat rotes the Democratic ticket because he believes iu Tariff for revenue only. Thus you see it is iiuopossiblc for a Republican to support lor a national office, a man tv ho is opposed to protection, and equally impoesibleTor a Democrat to vote for a man that is iu favor of it. But on local issues it is entirely different. There is no national issue In Township and County elections. Bros, of the F. M. B. A. of all parties, let us try to get the best men we can for office. These local offices are of the greatest importance. T. W. Powderly, Master Workman Kuights of labor, once said: “Let me choose the Assessor and you may choose the President. This is one of the most sensible things I have seen from a public man*. The Assessor has to tio with your property. Let us elect good men, qualified to fill the offices. Equally important is our county officers. Mark those who pile your taxes mountain high and see that they are relegated to private life. . 1 am speaking now as : citizen and mul as a partisan. All panics have their good men and their bad men aud we should try to get the beet. We hope the time will soon come when all who live by tne sweat of their- lace will j uuile iu one great brotherhood. Thenj our rights will be respected. But while we contend tori >ut- rights we do not make war on any one who is making his living h< mestly. Let ias iu the name of Jt slice and Right set up our banner a ad we will succeed. Let us hope that the time is here wheu honest toil will receive its just reward. The above is a part of the address as 1 was able to yather it. C Qiiackeb Bot
