The season is now upon us when the Poultry Yard is swarming with broods of young chickens. We specially invite your attention to the thoroughly reliable remedy, Model Poultry Powder FOR

r CHICKEN CHOLERA, And also a preventative and cure for all diseases of poultry, such as Drooping, Roup, Gapes, Fever, &c. We can safely recommend this remedy as entirely reliable, for it is composed of ing^dients which are purely medical. It is a fact well known to every farmer, that the loss of poultry annually from disease is enormous, though by proper care and the occasional use of ledel Poultry Powder s * He would be amply repaid for his trouble in the increase of profits by virtue of the tonic properties of this the best egg-making food in use. y W.

He also docs real mlate business. The Princeton Town Board has contracted for electric lights. The company agrees to have the plant in full operation by January 1,1890, or j forfeit all rights to the franchise which is for ten years.

The Princeton Town Board was recently petitioned to let cows and other stock run at large in the corporation for at least six months in the year, bat the council wisely conceded to not allow it. A new store will be established! at Stendal in the near future by Willis C. Beadles, of Velpen. This will make the third store in tjie county which Mr. Beadles is running. lie seems to be very successful. ^^^tufant child of Zachariah Dyson died Monday afternoon in this place. It was taken to beyond Algiers for burial. The cause of death is not well understood but is supposed! to have been diseased peculiar to infants. / At the Stewart school house, near Williams’s ferry on White river there will lie given an ice cream supper and entertainment for the benefit of the White Itiver Valley Singing School on July 26 at night. A great time is anticipated. ilrs. Charles Gray, aged about twenty-four years, died in this place last Sunday morning at about 3 :30 o’clock, of bronchial hemorrhage, and was buried the same day at White cemetery, four miles south of Petersburg on the Winslow road. She loaves a husband but no children. XMrs. Joseph L. Bronton died near Oatsville, Sunday morning. She was brought here Monday and laid to rest in Walnut Hills Cemetery. She leaves a husband and family. Mrs. Brenton had been a sufferer for a long time from a complication of diseases hard to understand. yC The Far men and Laborers Union of this county, in convention assembled here ou Tuesday, resolved that alt members of the order should bold their wheat at $1 per bushel, and the order proposes to assist those members who may be cramped financially while waiting for the market price to reach the figure set by them. There is a prospect for the price of wheat advancing, but it is a very uncertain one.—Princeton Clarion. Daviess County Democrat, 12th: The marshal of Petersburg made a bad break on the Fair grounds on the Fourth. He loaded up with red lemonade, and made himself obnoxious to some ladies. A young man by the name of Wonders interfered, and a fight ensued. Tho Petersburg man drew his revolver, but was disarmed at once. ’ He then took to his heels, and got away. The officers got bold of him later in the afternoon, and after giving him a good lecture told him to “git.” He got. The M. E. Sunday school excursion which took place from here lo Evansville and lo iipitits on the Ohio river last Wodnesdav wasouc of the social events ol ifie season. Those who were fortunate euottgh to get a day oft" for that occasion reported a splendid time. The weather was pleasant, the people were all happy, and though the profits were not large the projectors of the enterprise feci amply paid for their trouble in having qiude 1 it a very happy social event. About 1 $50 was made for the Sunday school.

A good many of our citizens art wanting the E. & 1. depot movec from its present position to that pari of the track crossing main street, and others are opposing the scheme. Those who are interested in having it moved propose to pay a part, 01 nearly ail, the expense of moving it. But it does not move very fast, and the prospect of its doing so does not seem very bright. It is reasonably argued that the depot will have to be moved before long anyhow, and that it might be best to move it immediately, for it is situated almost in the center of eighth street, and cannot always remain there of course. Mr. Mackey has been interviewed on the removal of the depot, but lias not yet given those interested much encouragement. He usually asks why the citizens want it moved. To this the citizens generally reply that the depot as it stands is of no benefit to the town except to be of use as a depot, nnd that its situation is in the most unsightly part of the town, and that almost all visitors get a bad impression on first entering the town. What the result will be cannot be easily told, but there will be, in all probability, a very strong effort made (o have it moved. ^^John P. Backes died at bis home in this place at 5 o’clock last Friday morning. He was aged thirty years, nine mouths, aud five days. The funeral took place from the late residence at 8 o'clock Sunday morning, aud all that was mortal of him was laid to rest in Wafnut Hill’s Cemetery soon after. Deceased was well known in Petersburg and Washington as an honest mechanic and good citizen. He had many sympathetic friends «4o admired him tor his seriousness off all things. In religion he was a looted catholic. The only order to which he belonged was the K. of L. in which order he had jnst completed his time as Master Workman. He suffered a long time, aud though he was hopeful until within a few hours of his death, that dread disease consumption cat him down at a time when he ought to have been in the prime of life. He was never married. _ 7 y

ami boys got outside a q iitity of benzine and betook themselves to a restaurant i»-tbe basement beneath I. W. Little’s saloon. It is said they ate everything in the establishment for which the proprietors realize seventyfive cents, not enough to pay for the food before prepared. The keepers at the time concluded to quit the business. A tough time ensued. One fellow drew a pistol but did not use it. lie went on the street and cried out, “Where is that d—n marshal. Whoop! I am from Kentucky, tqo!” They say the marshal thought it unsafe and did not make an official appearance. Some of the boys informed us Sunday that they expected to be “pulled” Monday, but no “pulls” have been made. “Let us reform,” and quit “trading witches for devils.” Two weeks ago the Democrat did not get to Union till Saturday, although we started the paper from here on Wednesday. Information came to this offie Wt the paper had not yet arrived at Union. The editor went to the Petersburg postoffice on Saturday to make inquiry about the paper, and while he was there the paper was taken out of the mail poucii from Oatsville where the postmaster had sent it by mistake. AVc took the paper from the office and by the kindness of Prof. M. B. Thomas who was going to Union the paper finally found its way to that town. A paper can, by hard labor and close attention to business lie prepared and put in the postoffice, but under no circumstances can the editor reform the mail service. In 1892 there may be a change. Hope there will. We have been asked why the Democrat did not advertise tile M. E. Sunday school excursion. The facts are these: Mr. J. B. Young came to this office to get the excursion advertised but was one day too late. lie dhl not know that the -publication day.had been changed from Thursday to Wednesday of each week; The next issue of the paper came out on the day of the excursion, and the advertising could not have done any good at that time. So it is easy to see that the committee was not to blame; neither the paper, for nothing more could haye been done. ■ A gentleman who has paid considerable attention to the matter asks: “Mow can a man say that a woman has nothing to do ? In one year she gets dinner 363 times, washes the dishes 1095 times, gets the childreu ready for school twice a day for 180 days, gets l ho baby to sleep 1,450, times, makes about 300. calls, and as she wishes for something she hasn’t ever minute, she wishes 60 things an hour, 4,380 things in a year. Who says a woman has nothiug to do ?— Ex. -_ W. H. Hornbrook informed us a few days ago that he will put ou the market the coming FalJ and Winter a larger amount of the Model Cough Balsam and Hog'Cholera Cure than lie has put on the market during any previous year. These medicines are evidently good, or they would not meet with continued sales in the sama markels.&Such an enterprise, being a meritorious one, ought to meet with success, and surely will. Half ihe battle in advertising is in knowing what to say and how to say it. Ofallthings don’t try to say too mnch in one ad.veri isement. Remember that “Brevity is the soul of wit.” If you've a thing to sell, name it, with the price, briefly. If you want anything, waste no words in needless explanation. Evansville had, nearly a hundred deaths iu June. -.“i-v

A ROOD TOWN, George Tucker is hustling the wheat trade. lie says the wheat is not as good »s it was last year. Gus. Weber has moved into a new residence on Walnut Street in Morgan’s addition to the town oi Petersburg. Some of the street lamps do not furnish good light. The burners are about worn out and should be replaced by new ones. < f Berridge’s livery statye, propirfty of E. R. King, is soon to be repaired^ It needs it seriously aud will get an entire over-hauling. Potatoes are^etting scarce in this market, and are about as high as beef when the cow jumps over the moon. The failure of the crop is sure enough already being felt. John Meisenhelter will not run a threshing machine this year. lie sold the separator, and is using the engine to pump water for sprinkling main street. Chas. Schafer has put a new aud handsome sign on his hotel. It reads: "‘Pike Hotel, C. Schaefer, proprietor.” This disposes of the former name which was “The Lingo.” Hon. L. R. Hargrave has put in some standard scales for weighing wheat and other produce near his mill. He contemplates building a gigantic elevator before this time next year. Some have suspicioned that John Turner will again take charge of the barber shop which he sold to Fred Parrott. There is no foundation for such an opinion. Mr. Parrott has actually bought the shop and is running it with a view to building up one of the best of businesses. While in the south of this county a few days ago we learned that Patterson Sc Pinney hare been .scooping some of the neighboring towns on prices. This is good. Let this town take the lead in everything. The Democrat defies competition in its line. Let us all hustle. Street grading is still going on apace, but there is not sufficient money in the treasury to defray the expenses. The town council cannot raise the money by issuing bonds unless the taxpayer^ consent. A petition has been in circulation with a view to getting the consent of the necessary majority to authorize the council to take legal steps to raise funds to complete the work. From a point near J. B. Young’s residence on main street down through cross-lots, across Walnut Street, through the school house yard and on out ot town has been placed a very large sower that, if it prove a success, will improve the sauitary conditions of that part of the city* Seventh street and also eighth have sewers of this kind and they are a success. More are being placed ohj seventh and other streets. * The Thornton Home Will be the name of the beautiful place on the Newburgh road formerly occupied by Mr. A. Maddox, more generally known as the Sansom place. For several months the Board of Ministerial Belief ot the Cumberland Presbyterian Church located in this city has been trying to buy this property for the borne of aged ministers and orphans, and on yesterday afternoon the purchase was made. This,is a donation by a beneficent lady of Petersburg, Ind., for this purpose.—Evansville Courier. made this donation is Mra^^^M^'hornton. She has been oneo^BBnost liberal of the liberal and hffiKssisted in relieving the needy on rainy occasions. Tiiis act of the benovlent lady should' be to her honor forever. Not many people of means to do so will help to make others happy. “Thornton Home” is the right name.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can he taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness, (caused by catarrh,) that we cannot cure by taking Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. r. J, CHENEY A CO., Toledo, O.

We are all curious—and it is surprising bon curious We *rt— to know the v«y other people live, especially well-known people.

This August number should be seen by everybody, if for this feature alone; but it contains otfistr features equally interesting, not the least of a hich is an account of “The Oberammergau Passion-Play,’' which is Illustrated not only with a picture of the Bavarian village where the play is now being enacted, but also with many of the tableaux shown in this historical performance. There is also a complete novelet teby Queen Elizabeth of Roumunia (“Carmen Svlva”), preceded by her portrait and fine illustrations of her summer castle and her boudoir. The other articles and stories are all of the highest order, and beautifully illustrated, forming a Midsummer Number of rare merit, which is enhanced by a sea-shore water-color frontispiece of artistic value.
