S. Penny made a business trip to Cincinnati the forepart of the week. D. C. Thomas and wife, of Winslow, visited friends at Petersburg Monday. , , A. Sbofe has started a general store at Survant, and the towu has taken on a livelier appearance. S. J. Barrett, trustee of Lockhart township, was in the city on last Friday transacting business.

Nothing is too good for the citizens of Petersburg. Aud it wouldn't be a bad idea to locate several factories here during the coming summer. Thomas Gatton and Miss Kate Evans, of Winslow were married at the M. E. church, last Wednesday evening. Rev. Grant Fergusou officiating.

Then take au “Early Riser.” Bergen, O. & Co. 35 Allen Jones, of Noxid, while hauling a load of hay a few days ago, met with a serious mikhap; his wagon stuck in the mud, and while trying to pry it loose, the pry slipped and hit him in the face, breaking his jaw. The mud is still with us, while iii northern Indiana they are enjoying splendid sleighing. Why not move the equato| a. little farther south or kill off a few weather prophets? The latter might strike some very favorably. Some of the boys about town were hating considerable fun with a live e’possom Monday morning. The possom would sometimes play dead on the boys, but would come to life in tibie to make the boys beware that it would be very unwise to fool W'th his mouth. Ephriam Towson died at the home of his son, Harry Elmore, in this city Saturday evening. The funeral occurred Sunday afternoon. He was boru in Pennsylvania in 1816, and for a number of years held many responsible positions in Philadelphia. He came here about a year ago to make his home With Harry. Princeton is happy. Last Saturday a very good gas well was drilled iu at a depth of 430 feet. It is thought that it will produce enough gas tor fuel to run the Mackey machine shops.

J. B. Young and Embree Lamb were at Durand, Illinois, last week and purchased six head of Holstein cattle. Among the lot were milch cows for Leslie Lamb and kelson Stone. Mr. Young purchased a fine young Holstein bull and a Poland china boar. They are all registered stock and among the best ever brought to Pike county. The lot of stock cost over 1600. We hare it Irom a reliable source that Burr Hawes will not ask for a continuance of his case at the next term of the Pike circuit court, but that he will report ready for trial. As every reader of the Oatette is aware, Hawes is charged with having conspired with ex-Auditor Lavelle, Mike Larolle, Baail Ledgerwood, Sam Harbin and Jim Padgett to burn the Daviess county court house in the fall of 1881.— Washington Gazette. The Gazette claims lo have some Inside information regarding the dead babe found in a box floating in White river near Peter-1 urg a week or two ago. It should be made disclose it so the guilty parties can he brought to justice. Concealing in\ formation of this kind in dangerou^ insinuations against an officer and ex-officer practically chargiug them with murder, is villainous work, unless the paper knows Its statements to be true. If tli» Gazette has the names of the parties guilty of diabolical murder and refuses to disclose them, then it practically becomes an 1 accessory after the fact to the murid er.-Il;<«***frf<Ht Democrat,

One Minnte Cou^h Cure gives immediate relief. Bergen, O. & Co. 35 We want a correspondent from each locality in Pike county who will take up the faber and send us the news from Winslow, Arthur, Augusta, i Spurgeon and other places in the county. Send iu the news. T. T. Thorne, of Hazleton, has accepted a clerkship with Barret & Son. He has had many years experience behind the counter in wailing upon the wishes of the people and thoroughly understands his business. John Whitman is home for a few days. He brought with him several views of the burning of the negro at Paris, Texas, and relates many incidents relative thereto. While in Paris John was a Paris man you can bet on that, A good way to kill your town is to order your dry goods from some other town or city. Buy of peddlers as much and as often as possible. Patronize outside newspapers to the exclusion of your own. Speak of your town in a way that you have uo faith in it.

When Baby was aick, we gare her Castaria. When ahe was a ChHd,«he cried for fcastoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Casioria. When she had Children, ahe gave them Castoria.

Demands for pay, threats to sue, etc., must be enclosed in a sealed envelope. The latest swindle In the Bohemian oats line under the auspices of the smooth-tongued agent is catching the unwary. It is just plain everyday ‘‘black oats.” The swindler is well supplied with “agreements with agents.” These mature into full fledged promissory notes as soon as he is a safe distance away and the fellow who would become rich quickly finds his bank account going the other way. Dou’t buy black oats. Somebody has set everybody to laughing over a discovery in relation to the new Columbian stamps. On the one cent issue Columbus is portrayed as looking out on the new World he has t.iseovered. His face is represented to be as clean as if he had just emerged from the barber’s chair. In the two cent stampsChrission of the lan^iu the name of the king of Spain and,although the length of one day is supposed to have elapsed his face is covered with a luxuriant growth of beard. topher is in the act of taking

Z. T. Dealing, W. U. Gladish and Wash Carlisle, commissioners, and Alex Almon, deputy auditor, returned Thursday evening from au Inspecting trip. They Were looking at the jails at Vincennes, Washington, Sullivan, Princeton, Boonville and Evansville, taking in the points of interest. The board will probably come at some conclusion towards building a jail the coming year. Jusl what kind of a jail they will build 01 at what cost they have not yet decided, but will build one that will be an ornament to Pike oouuty and be of service for years to come. The Washington Gazette In commenting on the finding of the baby here sometime axo gets decidedly off as the following shows: The Gazette last week reported the finding of a dead babe in White river, near Petersburg. The babe, as stated was incased iu a box and had Seen discovered by one of the river men, who happened'at that point. It had been lauuched somewhere above and had died of exposure. The good ladies of Petersburg gave the child I respectable burial. A strange woman from this city attended the funeral, but the heavy folds of the veil about her lace bid her features to s« great an extent that she was not recognised. It is said, however, thal an amateur detective is working uj: the case and tHat unless the woman makes a confession soon that she will b* arrested.
