southern JlndMiua Normal College. This popula r ami favorite institution of learning, located at Mitchell, Iud., opens for the fall term on September Sth. The advantages il. offers to seekers after an education are man; and essential. It is an established school, which will be an honor to its graduates and students as long aB they live, Founded mote than thirteen yearn ago,, with an imposing and commodious building, rich in Iriends and backers, fortunate in looation as to accessibility, peculiarly lavored in the possession ol the means of meeting the home and social needs which are essential to the comfort and happiness of the youthful student, severed from home oare and tenderness perhaps the lirst time, the Southern Indiana Normal College has passed its days of probation, and should receive the attention of all who love learning. Nowhere is the student received with more cordiality by the residents of a college town. Old students dwell on the recollections of student life at Mitchell with the greatest pleasure. The social status ot the S. 1. Normal College students is what It should be. At too many other towns the residents relegate students to a tecondary position. At M itchell no such feeling exists. The social equality and consideration iu which the students are held, is shown by the fact that In the town, of more than 2,000 Inhabitants, there are but twa families which have not accomodated students in their homes. The chief expense ol the student is for boarding. At Mitchell good board and furnished room in pleasant homes, are furnished for two dollar's to two dollars and fifty cents )<er week. Tuition eight dollars per term. No extras. Address, j.h. luSSr’A.-b::[ Princip‘»8Mitchell, Ind.

Notice—There will be a meeting of Pike Lodge No. 121, F. & A. M, Tuesday evening. August 22nd, for the purpose of workiug in the third degree. A full attendance it desired. Milton Mitchell, Secretary. William E. Cox, aa attorney died two suits in the Pike circuit court against Henry Suttou for $10,000 damages in each suit. William Coffee and Mary Coffee are the plaintiffs in each suit. These cases wens brought for injuries received from the white capping which took place In Dubois county some two or three years ago. William Miller, one of the old residents of Petersburg, died on last Saturday afternoon of consumption, lie was a blacksmith by trade, and one of the best workmen iu the state;. He was nearly 52 years old. The funeral services were couducted at the residence Sunday afternoon by Rev. Law, after which the remains were interred in Walnut Hills cemetery. The band of which he was a former member turned Out and accompanied the funeral processiou to the cemetery. Gov. Matthews has Issued a proclamation designating August 22 as the date for holding a general hoosier convention under the namo ot “Indiana l)aj” at the world’s fair. Gov. Matthews says it is expected that there will be a very large attendance at the convention which will uot be held in the Indiana building as might be supposed but in some hall not yet designated.

The Priucelon and Peterspurg ball clubs played a fire iuning game Friday evening, the score being 5 to 3 in favor of the former club. It rained during the entire time the game was in progress, which tells the score. Had the weather been pleasant not a single score would have been made during the five inuiugs. The Princeton boys are quiet on the field, uot a kick being made by any of the players. There are a tew boys in Petersburg who create a disturbance at every game played, and should either stay away from the game or put padlocks to their mouths. Four women from Washington came to the city last Thursday for the purpose of running die town for a few days. They took up their residence somewhere on the commons and were visited by some of the boys about town on that night. The night was made hideous by their orgies. All of Friday disgraceful sceues were enacted until a number ot citizens iu the south part of town concluded that the thing had gone far enough. They were taken before squire Chappell, who gaye them a chance to get out of towu at once. They took the evening train tor Washington. Some of them were mere ttirls not over sixteen years ofage, but their wickedness and language would make a pine board blush with shame. The following figures have been compiled from the combined recollections of 32 maiden ladies and 45 military officers, all residents in the county town of one of the home couuties. Out ot the 1,540 engagements to marry which their ioint reminiscences present 46, or about 3 percent ended in lunacy, incarceration or disease ot one of the parties; 38, or 25 percent were broken off at the instance of the girl, 262 or about 17 percent by the man ; 169, as near as possible: 10 per cent were interfered by frieuds; 151 exactly 10 percent came to an end for reasons not made public: 185, or about 12 percent faded away without incident in the lapse of years; 108, say 7 percent(not included in any previous category) led to an action for breach of promise. The remainder, a pettiiogiug 15 per ceut resulted in marriage.

me case against tjnaries uurger, the proprietor of the creamery was dismissed in Shaudy’s court. There seeins to be some injustice in the manner which seme people desire to pay a _ kindness done in former years. Mr. Burger is willing and has been to keep the creamery in jnst as good a sanitary condition as possible. He is one of the foremost citizens of Petersburg, being in the front of every movement which has a tendency to improve the town and comity. He is a liberal man, and should there at any time be anything occur that Would be detrimental to the health of the community he would not stand back and let the same pass his notioe without remedying it. There was a considerable stench at one time in the creek which was caused from the vaults along the creek and wash 'water from the creamery, and from hog yards iu that part of the city, but measures have been taken which will remedy all this. It is to be hoped that all will get along peaceably and that no further trouble may arise.

Edgar Tisdale, living near White river bottoms, was arrested at Washington, Sunday, for larceny. It is alIedged that be appropriated some money belonging to a man named Carter, lie was given a preliminary hearing before Squire Chappell, Monday, who bound him over to the circuit court in tlie sum ^f $100. Being unable to furnish bond he was sent to |all. We wan| money and must have'it. The Democrat has waited on a large number of subscribers during 'the past year for their subscription, and now that the time is at band to meet some outstanding obligations we must have cash to meet them. The accounts are all small, bnt in the aggregate means quite a large sum to The Democrat which would help out very materially. Give this a sober thought and send iu your subscripr tious at once. The Pike county farmers’ insurance company met at Winslow last Saturday aud elected the following officers to serve for the coming year: i Presides; I.evi Thompson. Vice-President, W. B. Chappell. • Secretary and treasurer, S. W. Chappell. Solicitor John A McKinney. Directors, Vinson France, W. T. Barrett and C. A. Uttell. The company is in good shape financially.

The Lincoln sanitarium.—uwing to the general depression in business aud the universal stringency iu poney matters, we have decided to meet the hard times, to make a reduction in the cost to patients of the treatment for the cure of the liquor habit at the Lincoln Sanitarium. Consequently to all those who are desirous of being cured of the liquor habit and who may apply for treatment before the 1st^of September the cost of the full treatment will be fifty dollars instead of the present rate, seventy-five dollars; morphine and ophim habits, $15.00 per week instead of $25.00, and tobacco habit, $6 00 iustead of $10.00. No extra charges for attendant, etc. The Lincoln Sanitarium, Petersburg, ludiana. iyonzo Survant, of near Velpen, was brought to the city last Friday aud placed in jail for safe-keeping. Alonzo had Imbibed a little too freely of red liquor and the consequences were that Constable Simon Deariug undertook to arrest him. Survant gave the constable a sound drubbing. He was placed uuder arrest and during the night was kept in tbe second story of a building, lie was tied, bnt managed in sume way to unloosen himself and jump from the building. He was caught. Friday he was given a hearing for assaulting an officer. The prisoner asked for a change of venue aud the case was sent to the court of Squire DeBruIer.of Augusta, for August 31st. Bond was placed at $200, failing to give which he was brought to this place last Friday. The officers seemed to be afraid he would get away and had him securely chained down, lie was bailed out Monday.

Notick to Teachers.—Notice is hereby given that the couuty institute will be held in the town of Petersburg, September 4th, at 7:30 a. m., and continue five days.
