Smith, one of the enterprising farmers living near the city ntado a trip to Evansville last week taking with him some wheat which will be placed on exhibition at the world's fair as a sample of what is raised in Pike county. More of our farmers should do the same thing in order to show up Pike county to the best advantage. The supreme court of Indiaua rendered a decision Wednesday which declares the law passed by the legislature of 1889, known as the blackboard law, that requires the railroads of the state to put up a blackboard at eacli station, on which the time of the arrival and departure of trains should bo announced, as constitutional.

The secretary is required to make a report of the donations made at each monthly mooting, and persons desiring to make donations will leave their names w<ih the matron who will notify the seoretary. In these days of giving and sending presents it is not amiss to suggest that there is a proper aud improper way to wrap packages for maiiiug. An.\ thing for tho mails should he wrapped for very rough usage siuce it Is to be thrown in among heavy packages, and if at all delicate will become torn or mutilated. It is no uncommon thing for presents sent by careless people to be lost upon tho way, leaving only tke paper containing the address and stamp to react) the destination. Therefore it should be impressed upon the minds of those sending presents that articles should be lightly packed in paper or wool aud tied and retied. It is particularly necessary and advisabio lo securely tie the strings at the crossings, that is, wherever two strings cross each other they should he simnglv tied together.

PETERSBURG, IND., AUG. It, 1«M Wo '.lie undersigned farmer* of Pike county have always been prejudiced against ive fencing of any kind. There has been much said in regard to the hedge fenoes being nt reduced by the Pike Couuty Hedge Pence Co. We decided to go and see tor ourselves his much talked offence. And we wish now for the benefit of our farmers and ot the sompany who is introducing this fence to.sav that we saw the tonoe trimmed and uu riumed and saw the men trimming it and we have no hesitancy in saying we are satisled one man can easily trim one mile in a day. and do the work well; and that when l» s trimmed it far excels any of our common tences; that everything that has been said ft its favor is positively trues being the best and handsomest fences we ever saw In every ■espect. Though we were bitterly opposed to hedging before we examined this fence ive are r.ow strong in its lavor and we have bought it for our farms, aud are ready to be* lave and back anything Mr. Mc^iderrv may sav in its favor, and we feel that every rarmer ought to promote the enterprise as it Is to the interest of every farmer. We had » pleasant trip and saw many different lines of lenolng and feel justified lu recommending this fence to our farmers, and that they need have no hesitancy In takiug hold of this [ence and placing it on their farms as an improvement and ornament to their tarms as (veil as an excellent fence. VTe also feel justified in recommending the company's agent, Mr W. E. MeKIderrv. as being perfectly reliable as well as the excellent company he represents and hope that the farmers will read this careiully and not pass It over as idle talk as we mean what we say. We are respectfully D. B. Davids n, J. II. Armsrqho, » L. C. Thomas, O. Cross, II. W. FtihciMR, l. R. Uerr, G Thomas.
