Nothing so distressing as a hacking cough. Nothing so foolish as to suffer from it. Nothng so dangerous if allowed to continue. One Minnie Cough Cure gives Immediate relief. Bergen, O. ft Co. 35 A building boom is about to strike Petersburg this spring. Several parties are now talking of building several residences during the coming summer.

Single and no children. , The editor of The Democrat is much pleased with the mauv high compliments passed upon the last issue ot this paper. Of course it lakes vim and energy to get ont a firstclass paper and we feel highly elated over the fact that our efforts to please Unpeople in this regard are appreciated. It is the aim of The Democrat to give the news in as condensed a form as possible and give it all,, The subscription books arc still open and will accommodate a fevv hundred more names. The price will remain the same, $1.25 per year. It is generally agreed that putting a silver spoon into a boy’s or young man’s mouth—that is to say, giving him plenty of money so he need not worry about workiug his way up in the world, is bad policy and often leads to the forming of dissolute habits. The better plan is so to arrange matters as to arouso an incentive in the yonng man’s action. In other words, let him thoroughly understand the force of the adage that God helps those who help themselves Don’t relieve the young man too much oi the cares and perplexities of the world. Let him have a taste of the bitter as well as the sweet. It will do him good. It will make him stronger and more resolute—if there is anything iu him at all. Most of the young men ijn and around Petersburg who have hau wealthy and indulgent patents, seem to have taken proper advantage of their fortunate surroundings, but there are several who no doubt would be better off today had it been necessary for them to “bustle’’ from the start.

Sam Hcnnlnger, who was sent up from this countv about ten years ago for the murder of Dr. W. P. Ilbrtibrook, has taken a decided turn of mind. The particulars of the crime will be remembered by most of t^p people of Petersburg a6 being one oK the most deliberate murders ever committed. The doctor was killed in his office by a shot from an old pistol, during the month of July, 1883. Hcnninger was tried at the March term, 1884, of the circuit court, found guilty and sentenced to twenty-ono yeara in the penitentiary. Five years ago be worked in the same shop in which he works now, for the Patton Manufacturing Company, He was reproved several times for talking too much, and dually was put on another job. The next day he would not 'alk and no amount of persuasion has siuoe been able to get anything but signs and inarticulate sounds from him. If he wants to communicato with any one he uses pencil and paper. He has good hearing and the organs of speech are perfect, the sole reason for his muteness being the desire to get even, though he seems to bo biltpg off his nose to spite hi* face. He is one of the characters of; the prison south.

Com* to the front and get on the ground floor. The boom is coniine. If you want to sell or buy farm or city property see John B. Van Nada. 37-2 Fleming Sc O’Brien bare several good teams ot mules which they will sell on time. , 35-4 Tom Carr, of Smithville, was in the citv last week visiting his brother Charles Carr, of the Mammoth store. Sweet breath, sweet stomaph, sweet temper, all result from the use of De Witt's Little Early Risers, the famous little pills. Bergen, O. Sc Co.35 Horsemen will please take nofice that The Democrat has the finest line of photographs for horse and jack bills ot any office in the city. Call and see them and learn prices. The wind from the north bfows sharp and keen, and bad efb-cts arc seen. O^e Minute Cough Cure so fafe and sure, will quickly perform a wondrous cure. Bergen, O. Sc Co. 35 The city is now open for manufactories of any kind. The people are willing that they should come even before the proposed railroad is buili. Give us manufactories and the railroads will come afterwards. Headache is the direct result of indigestion and stomach disorders. Remedy these by using De Witt’s Little Early Risers, and your beadache disappears. The favorite little pills everywhere. Bergen, O. Sc Co 35 Col. Copeland delivered his lecture “Snobbs and Snobbery’'‘at the opera house last Saturday evening under the lecture course, was one among the best ever delivered in this city. The audience enjoyed the lecture to a degree of pleasure.

W. V. Harurovr & Co. Dr. Bergen who had entertained the fear that his son Court was being afflicted with hip joint disease, took him to Louisville last Saturday and had hint examined by a specialist. His anxiety was relieved when the doctor had made the examination, and found that the difficulty Would soon be allayed. Sundav afternoon,whileZale Bticrh and wife were at church at Kprksville, their house, about one mile north of Union took fire and was burned to the ground, together with most of the contents. The house was a two storv log structure with frame kitchen, milk house and smoke house attached. There was $700 insurance. Sundav was Endeavor day in the city, union services were held at the C. P. church in the evening. Harvey Carter, president of the C. P- society, and Ebcti O Lilherland, of the Presbyterian society, were the leaders of the1 meeting. The program which had been especially prepared for the occasion was quite interesting and one of the best yet held in the city. Ed. Democrat—Your horoscope of Petersburg taken at the conjunction of Mars and Juniter with the moon, I hope mav be more than realized. You forgot to mention a beautiful park (now the old town graveyard) on Jasper avenue and fourteenth street which will be the crowning ornament of the city. On every Saturday afternoon the Petersburg band will play to a large collection of people seated under the umbrageous trees already growing ior the service. This desirable evolution is already In motiou. - A. W. Freeman. The Democrat man took an underground trip through the town of Littles, Monday afternoon.. That is, through the courtesy of Andy Dodds, sujierintendent of the Littles mitics, we were shown through all the departments of the great coal mine and had the workings ^hereof explained. Mr. Dodds has spent over forty years of his life, in coal mines, understaiK.s it thoroughly, and takes pride in having it in tip top shape for the comfort and convenience of the men employed trader him. lie uses much care in making new “streets” and “lots,” so as to give as much protection in case of accident as possible. In the near future The Democrat expects to give a complete write up of the great coal lie'ds of Pike county. It will be interqsting reading and will give to the outside world au idea of what is going on underground in the greatest- unknown cpuuty in the state. Wo are proud to say that today Pike county is the richest in the state, yet her treasures are unknown to bui few people outside of the county.

The Reason. “We art, only too glad to give the preachers a half rate,” remarked an official of the Missouri Pacific. “The eastern roads don’t do it, but every road in the West does. No consideration of sentiment prompts us to it hither, I cau assure you. It is strictly iu the line of business. We have found out that where there are the; most preachers there are also the most people of industry and productive thrift.” “There are vast stretches of waste places in the West which when built up bv the kind of people who encourage the growth of a wholesome religious sentiment, will add immeasureably to our revenues. For that reasou I had rather give a pass to the humblest preacher Ilian a halfrate to the superb Ingersoll. I have uoticed that as the preacher has pushed his way westward the frontier has receded, until now there is none of it lelt. He is now taking the byways and the paths, and the wilderness is disappearing and the barren prairies are blossoming with crops.” - ] “So you see that, from a business standpoint, it'pays ns to encourage him to travel about bv allowing him a half-rate taro. It Is different; with the eastern roads. All of the territory is developed to its fullest capacity, and they can’t hope for in- j creased productiveness through the | preacher* ministrations. Therefore they treat him llko all other pnsscti > gets, and don’t give him a half rate.” (

Will H$\p Boom PetersMrsrH"id Don’t Yon Forget it M. S. Little will Open Up a New Goal Shaft Near the City. Work will t Probably be Commenced Dnrinjr the Summer Season. Will Employ Shoot One Hundred Hen and be of flinch Benefit lo the Elly.

Il is with great pleasure that The Democ sat is able to announce to tlie people ot Petersburg and vicinity that another move is now on foot that ■vill Inlp build up the city and increase the population several hundred i number. It is pleasant indeed t i think that an enterprise will soon l) * opened up that will give employm :ni tit over a hundred men, besides several bnvs. M. 5 . Little, proprietor of the big coal i tine at Littles lias recently li.nigh i up several hundred acres of ralnal te coal land just north-east of of the city lying along the E. & I. railro d. These lands are among the best o the coal fields. The coal is of excellent quality and the veins being six Jo eight feel through. They are near the city and when the mine is in working order will be ot great benefit to our business men. Mr. Littles is one among the best coal field workers and managers in this section of Indiana. He is now working in his mines below the city some seven miles over 100 un it, and it is his intention to work this newlv acquired field on a much larger scale lie lias the necessary push and means at hand to do the work in a satisfactory tnauner. In an interview with him this week he stated that he was unable to say just when he would commence si liking a shaft, but thought that work would coinihenco during the summer. As to the number of men that would be worked will depend on the demand for coal, but that a large number would be employed. Iu his mine at Littles he gives steady employment the year through to about 100 men, never keeping any men idle, uor any extra but keeps a sufficient number that they may hare employment at all times. This will be another boom that will work weli.for the interests of the ci»> and all concerned, and will no doubt be the means of starting others into some enterprise that will put Petersburg onto the high road ot prosperity. It will take time, but with the proper interest manifested and in the right spirit the city is bound to go forward. The location of the city is good and with its surrounding territory aud splendid coa) fields it is bound to come to the front. Mr. Little will be quite au addition to the business men of the city and with his great energy will be the means of putting new life into some of our citizens, who have beeu hitherto rather on the “come-attd-go-as-you-please-order ” It is now time that they should also wake up and go to work to build up the town. More manufactories ' or other indust ties that will give employment to labor is what the town needs,croakers to the contrary notwithstanding. Now is tho time.

The CoUitbUa'Stamp. The new Colombian post age stamps have made their ap|ie«rar»ce in this city. They are exquisite specimen* of the engraver’s art and one Almost | feels like framing them lor sou retire instead of giving the n the usual “licking” and sending them on an uncomfortable jotirue. through Uncle Sam’s mail service. There are fiftemi different kinds ol the new series sud anyone'who is al all familiar wilt, the faultless engravings which used tt» grace the ole greenbacks, will immediately recognize an exact reproduction of thos> pictures which in any way related tc Coluinhus or the discovery of Ameri ca. These little pieces of government papers are abohiias wide as the oleseries but they areTonger, being pro poriioned something slier the patten of the average bank-bill. The one-ceut tuuip is of Antwerp blue and hears t'»e picture of “Colum; bus iu sight of Isnd.” The twu-cen; stamp, purple maroon in color. “Tho is tiding of C'-liiUibas.” The green three cent stamp'has -‘Santa Mari)t in iuid->cean.” The four-coin stum|, ult..-marine blue in c >l-<r, lia- tin throe ships of C jluiuhu.-' fleets. “Columbus soliciting aid from Isabella" is oti the fivc:ce il stamps in chocolate browt', The ai:t-ce it stamp, in royal purple, represents “Columbus welcomed al Barcelona.” The' ten-cei t stamp, Vaundyke srowtt color, kfs ‘ Columbus j resenting natives ” and the flfteeii ceuf stamp, in dark green, represents ‘-Columbus announcing his d ecovery.” Then ihure are other and liighe •- pr.ced stamps a-hick, although they are of the same size as the one cent variety, are worth us high as |5.

Bitter Roaiils. Good roads is a question or the bours» It is receiving much attention. It is lit der discussion everj where—l mean in all 'tenters of business -cities, towns an,d villages. While it is a question ot ranch interest to those plaees, is t not one of greater itterest to the farmer? Should It not be stu lied and discussed more frcm the farmer’s stand poiht, than from that of any other class of our citizens? I have had an'opportunity fa. learn the feeiings of some of our moat progressive farmers on this subjpct They are opposed, as a rule, to incurring any corporate indebtedness in this direct ion. They claim that the present indebtedness of the county, lias u depressing effec on landed values* and that any increase ot such indebtedness would still more defress values, in spits of any advantages b be gaiued by any improvements that might result therefrom Farmers would much prefer to pay off lb j present debt, than to i icur a new one. Do larmers, (hen. object to any pei manent improvement ol the roads? I tamk not, but on this; point I must speak largely for myself alone. Permanent imjrove mentor our highways, is a gigantic undertaking. It is too much for one genernfion to do. yet it is » work that should be bigun and the sooner the better. The present law Iqr working the mails should be retained «ith some changes, it is true. The law for working out road tax should be repealed, and the work on the mads should la; a preparation for permanent improvement an far as possible. There might be a general tax levied and expended j only Tor permanent improvement of the roads. The rate should not be made burdensome, perhaps not more so than the; tuition or special school levies flow are, save that there should be a minimum rate; that would be obligatory on those whose duty would be to make such levy. In some port ions of our state, stone and gravel are easily and cheaply attainable, while in other portions, they could be had only at a heavy cos .. The plans for permanent impro remert should be adapted to these differences, and they should give minute directiono for toing the work it tbe different/ parts of the state, so that ordinary skill, on y. would be required id its execution The law might provide that, only those districts or townships that make such improvements within the year shall draw any portion of such highway fund, but that the amount to which such dirtrict or township were entitled should be ferfeited to the common highway fund and >e re apportioned to alt the townships, or road corporations, should such be createi, for the next fiscal year. Personally. I think the township trustees fully as well qualified as any of the county officials, to let contracts' for permanent improvements, and to accept the same when made, and that: their certificates as to the proper performance of the work, should be sufiiuion; evidence for boards ol commissioners to make; the proper allowances . The fond n igbt be distributed to eacli road-district, as at oresenteonsiltuVd, and; a minimum nnrouni,of permanent im trove-i merit made l>efnre the money con d be;, drawn, and there need be no fenr but what the work would be done cheaply before any road-district would suffer its portion of the fund to revert back to a common fur d. From some modest beginning like the one hinted at herein, might, within a few. vears, put our roads and peopje in a fsi condition for a mors speedy way of nceotn plishing this most s tupendous of all publk enterprises.
