--- • • V. County grraafrat By J». ;UcC. STOOPS. jgg^The Pike County Democrat has the lai> !:eat circulation ot uuy newspaper published In Mke Count) ! Advertisers will make a uote of his fact! Entered at the postofflce in Petersburg for transmission through the mails as sceond\j blass matter. FltiDAY, NOV. 10.. 1S93. Congressman Cooper is preparing 3 bill, the text of which is to tax greenbacks the same as any other personal property. In the past banks find individuals have gathered up greenbacks and escaped taxation. This is a good measure and should bp passed w ithout a dissetjtiug vote. It is said that last spring while the assessor in an adjoining county was making his rounds, one man who was reputed to be worth considerable told hint that he had 425,000 in greenbacks but that they could not be assessed. This is one way of “beating the devil about the biisb,” and this bill of Mr. Cooper’s proposes to alter the old time method, and the hoarders of greenbacks will he compelled to disgorge. This bill would probably benefit the country at large as much as any other that could be passed. Any person holding $5,000 to $50,000 in greenbacks should be wiling to pay taxes on the same, as the* world has “smiled” ou him, while the poor, devil with just enough furniture to keep house, lias never been “smiled” on, but pays on all that he owus. Another year has passed-and Petersburg remains in the same condition that it lias been in for several years past. What sidewalks there are remain in the same horrible condition. It is next to impossible to go anywhere in the city within fivo or __ six squares without going in the mud during the bad seasons of the year. Whose fault is it? Petersburg each year elects town trustees for the purpose of keeping up the appearance of the town—keep things iu their proper shape. The trustees are the custodians of tho town, are chief protectors of the citizens and their comfort. They receive salaries for wbrk done and draw it {whenever they want it. They make the salaries of all officials and allow them. They hire all work done and allow pay for the same. But they have othor duties to perform besides that. They have street work to look after, and tho buildidg of sideyvalks. The,councH this year has put all, or most, of their time and mohey toward the grading of a few streets. That is right and proper that the

streets be placed in good condition for travel. Km there is the sidewalk question, which has received but very iniuor attention this year. They are in very bad repair, and in many places none at all for several squares. Some of the councilineu wade mud the year round, so little interest do they mauifest in the premises. It is not too late yet to put into execution an order to sell out about twelve or fourteen miles of sidewalk in Petersj burg this fall. In this way employment would be given to those men who are out of work-and put some I I of the idle money which is hoarded up, into circulation. Let the council call special meetings and get this work under headway at once. The eouncilmeu should do this for the comfort of the citizens. There is considerable talk in the city as regards ihe price of grain in this and neighboring towns. It is claimed that the markets in other places are from two to four cents higheg on wheat than what the grain buyers here are paying for it. This should not be. It hurts the town'; it hurts every business man in it; and sooner or later the trading public will j make other towns their headquarters. It would be a wise move on the part of all business men to look into this matter at once and see that prices are paid In accordance with other towns. Farmers who nave wheat to sell have been taking it from near this city to other markets. Petersburg has several firms that buy grain, ajid while they should make a profit on their money invested they should bo willing to pay top prices. At the present rate the' market in Petersburg will be destroyed iu a few years. — That season of the .year when the I purchases for the fall and winter are beiug made, is at band, and we respectfully invite your attention to outadvertising columns. The men and firms hero represented are, wide awake and enterprising and have no doubt, just such goods as you require. They are liberal and will . deal squarely with you. A careful perusal of the advertisements will reveal many important facts to you. As a matter of business you cannot employ your tirno more advantageously than to read what our busiuess men say iu our advertising columns. Try it.

The case was trieifbefore Judge Welborn at Princeton. This is the second time the case has been tried. The case will come up again next month. Next week The Democrat,will be able to give the name of the hew postmaster at Petersburg. The appointment will no doubt be made in the next few days or before Congressman Taylor returns home. lie has completed his entire list of postmasters in the district with ihe exception of the one at this place. Who will it be ? J Major M. II. Kidd, of Wabash, and one of the leading democrats of Northern Indiana, has been appointed on the Cherokee Indian commission. The Democrat congratulates the major on his appointment, knowing that he will faithfully discharge the duties imposed on him. The selection is a good one and will give general satisfaction to his many friends throughout the state. The rise of the short story in America would furnish material for au interesting chapter in literary history. The December Harper’s Magazine will pay a significant tribute to the importance of the ten-page tale as opposed to the three-volume novel. It will contain nine short stories from the pens of Blander Matthews, Owen Wister, Ruth McEnery Stuai", Charles Egbert Craddock, Howard Pyle, Sarah Orne Jewett, J. Lincoln Steffens, William McLennau, and Harriett Prescott Spoflbrd.

After today tlie boys will be al lowed to shoot quail, and they are already getting' their accoutrements together for the purpose of making a raid on the hauutsof the tWWe chirper. Before today it has been an offense against the state of Indiana, but in other counties they have been killed under the name ot ‘‘screech owls,” and some of the “pot-hunters” put in all their spare time slaying them. These sports return home nearly every day with their samebags well filled with “owls.” One peculiarity about the business is that no one ever sees the “ow ls,” and an investigation of the contents of their haversacks would have more than likely revealed nothing but quails. Prof. Irl R. Hicks forecasts November weather as follows: From the 7th to the 11th is a marked storm period, during and about which tim suffering and loss on both land and sea will result, where foresight and care are not exercised. Suow and sleet to the north. A severe cold wave will spread over the country, lasting up to reactionary days, on and touching the 14th and lath. The 19th to 23rd is the next regular storm period. It is near the center of a Venus period, and may be counted on for violent storms of wind, rain and suow. Thunder and lightning south. See if you do not hear of disasters on the seas—ships wrecked and liyes lost. A very cold wave up to 25th and 26*h. Month ends warmer, with W^ter winds and stoyrns brewing.”
