The largest crowd of people^ that has been in the city tor eight years was here Wednesday night to help ratify the great victory won bv the democrats in the election last week. People came from all parts of the county to Usto a good time and they had it. Long before six o’clock In the morning the cannon was set to roaring and it was kept up at intervals during the day and evening which had a tendency to briug the people to the city in large numbers. Some of the townships sent in large delegations, while the townspeople turned out in foil force. The girls and the boys, little and big enjoyed the occasion, and with horn and kaaoo made things in general turn red. It was a red night for Petersburg as everything went, aud all seemed bent on having a good tirna without doing any damage to property. All was peaceable during the procession and up until ten o’clock w hen the streets were nearly deserted of people, who after having their fun in ratifying went home. The torchlight processiou formed on Walnut street near the opera house, and after parading the principal streets repaired to the court house square. The torchlight procession was under the supervision of Sheriff Stilwell, who was chosen as the oflioer of the day, and who managed it in good style. Nearly a thousand people were in the line of march, while the streets were thronged with several thousand people. After the torchlight procession was over and the band had played several popular airs, We audience was treated to several goqjjl ratification speeches. Among the speakers were Hon, William F. Townsend, tho silver-tongued orator of Southern Indiana, Hon. A. H. Taylor, congressman-elect for the First district, Hon. l'nomas H. Dillon and “Reunion Joe" Armstrong, of Oakland City. These gentlemen were heartily cheered duriug their remarks, which were fitting tor the occasion. After the speaking three cheers were given for the district, state and national tickets. This en^ ed the evening’s exercises, but the tin horn brigade, which is always with us during the national campaigns proceeded to do the town. A feature of the parade was John B. Young, Fred Smith and Leslie Lamb paying an election hot. They were on the election board of the Reed precinct, and the democratic members of the board and republicans agreed that Use ones who lost were to take part in the parade at the ratification meeting. The boys paid their bet. Mr. Young carried a banner which had inscribed on it, “Faith without hope," and on the other side, “I voted for Harrison.” The city band serenaded quite a number of the oitizeus after the parade. Taken all ip all it was the grandest demonstration of the kind ever witnessed in Petersburg.

The boys about town have been having considerable fun at the expense of Postmaster Adams and his deputy, Ed Lingo, since the ehange in »flairs. Ed is considerably worried since the boys have told him that there is a petition out asking Mr. Adams to bounce him in order that the incoming postmaster may learn the routine of the work. For Ed’s benefit we thiuk he will remain as deputy for the next four—months. The new county officers will soon take upon themselves the new duties to which they were reoeutly elected. Sylvester Beach will take his offie sometime in December; Louis Sumner will go in next February; one of the commissioners will go in in Dceember and the other one year hence, and the surveyor, coroner and county assessor will take charge as soon as their commissions arrive: Isaac Cross who was mixed* up in the riot which occurred on Main street sometime last July was arrested by Constable Smiser last Monday evening in this city. He was given a hearing before Squire Chappell Tuesday morning and fined and costed $17.00, being unable to pay the same he will lav It out iu the county basttle. A great many republicans in Pike county now Concede that the old party will never more come into power and from now henceforth and forever, they will vote the Democratic ticket. They should have reached that conclusion previous to last Tuesday. Dr. Duucan will move to Bedford in a few days. The doctors' health has.not improved much of late. He has make a splendid citizen and has manv friends In Petersburg who will regret his departure. The case of the State of Indiana vs. Scott Mitchell for murder is now on trial. There are upwards of 150 witnesses In the case. The trial will lake up about a week's time. O. J.

Mr. MeAtee is one of those simou-pnre democrats that does one good to meek Felix Miller, of Marion township, was in the city the forepart of the week attending to some business matters. It is safe to bet that Mr. Miller never felt better in his life since he heard the story of the ballots last Tuesday. During the ratification at Bowman last Monday evening a horse belonging to Joe Barker became unmanageable and jumped on a picket fence in such a way as to rip the side open. The horse was frightfully torn and had to be killed. Notice—We beg to say to the ladies that we have a new trimmer from the city, and with our Chicago styles of millinery she can make you the “cutc8t,,hat at “way down” prices. 25-2 W. V. Hargrove & Co.

If any one should ask you why Jake Schurx is so happy, tell them yon don’t know unless It should be that the democrats has just had a fence put around the universe. Jake is on top end has had his (bn at the great expense ot the boys. Mr. Schurx is a nephew of Car) Schura, the great New York politician.

The four year old child of Tom Minnift, of Patoka township was burned to death on Tuesday of last week. The child was in the house playing with the fire when the little one’s clothes caught fire and before anyone was aware ot It, the child’s clothes were all burned off. The child Heed but a tow hours after being found. Quite a cariosity may be seen at the office of Flemings’ livery stable. A large lot of plastering on one of the side walls became loose and was taken off and a plasterer called in to pateli up the same. When fiuiahed it presented an ex act picture of a large “Kruno” as natural as life. It is quite a curiosity and a large number of people have taken a view of it. If anyone asks you what become of Jake Schura's gun refer him to Garrett Stilwell. of Lockhart township. Jake won tbegpnon the election, aud as Garrett was going on a hunting expedition down iu Arkansaw he borrowed tho aforesaid gun from Jake. But before leaving for home someone appropriated the field piece, and what is now bothering Garret's brain Is "what become of the gun.” There was left at this office this week a huge crowing rooster, that is it will orow when the necessary attachment is put on. Through some mlstako it was put in another buggy the day before the election. It is the property of Pike County Bilf Hayes, the old Jackson democrat of this county. It was presented to him at Jasper by a friend. At the same time he was presented with » fine flag- Jtr. Hayes can have the same by casing at tfetle ofcqe,

Will Be e tie. Business men and all other classes of people are recovering from the excitement of the campaign, and are now taking some active steps toward advancing the interests of the town and county. The money can be raised with which to drill for gas with the proper effort, and that effort should be put forth at once. The subscription committee should at ouee wait on every business man and capitalist in the citr and see what they wil) do in regard to the cause of helping to boom our little city. No town has more enterprise or a better class of business men thsn Petersburg, and it is a sure thing that they will not see this enterprise go down for the want of funds. It is a noticeable fact to ail strange incoming to this city and they are always sure to speak of it that Petersburg contains more first-class business rooms than any city of her site it* Indiana. .With something to boom the town and pot her before the people at large she can become a city in a few years of 10,000 inhabitants and a great manufacturing center. Petersburg and Pike couuty contains many advantages over her neighboring counties and towns, and with capital to develop these advantage^we could show to the world what we possess. The minerals of this county are as yet only partially developed aud with new men and new industries coming in they would be farther developed. Ail of these things should be taken into consideration and an extra efibrt made to do something that would increase onr population and our manufacturing interests. What do you think of it? Are yon willing to invest yonr money in such an enterprise ? Think it over and study carefully the results that would follow If the company was successful. Get in the wagon and boom the town.
