Believing that the general public should have all the news concerning the building of a new jail aud sheriff* residence Tiib DkmocuaI has taken *be trouble to secure tihe copy of the order made by the Board of Commissioners at their December term relative to the building of the new jail, aud without any comments whatever piesents it below: In the matter of the building of a county jail and sheriffs residence.

And the Board reserves the right to reject any aud all bids that may be unsatisfactory by reasons of being too great a price or the bidders failing to give satisfactory bond. And it is further ordered by the Board that notice be giveu of the letting of said contract by publication in the Petersburg Press and Pike County Democrat, weekly newspapers of general circulation, printed and published in the English language in the town of Petersburg in said county, and by posting printed notices thereof for at least 6ix weeks before said 4th day of March, 1894. And the sheriff of said county is hereby ordered to post up said printed notices in two public places in each and every township in said county for said length of time before said day. And it is further ordered by the Bj^trd that said plans and specifications as adopted herein, be and the same are hereby deposited in the office of the auditor of said conntv, aud there to remain a deposit open to the inspection ot the people of said county and the public generally ; aud said plans and specifications are endorsed “adopted by the-Board of pommiraioners of Piko county, Indiana, in regular session, this December 12, 1893,” and signed by each member of the Board, and their

The State of Indiana is the richest area on the face of the globe in all of the res*; trees upon which the human family, raw for inaintenance in comfort and luxury. It is unsurpassed in the ruitfulnees of its soil, while underneath the furrows of the pillow lie nalui il gas, petroleum, coal in vast quantities and of the best quality; building stone that Is shipped to eyerv quarter of the North Ameriic%n, continent and is even begiuniug to invade for sign markets; iron ore, lead, silver a id gold. The banner wheat county ofghe state is underlaid with the best >f coking coals with a trace of gas a ct petroleum. These elements of weal I i have long been known and are being rapidly developed. But it is not generally known that Indiana has a in »st salubrious aud healthful climate, bounding in those mysterious characteristics which conduce to longevity and fecundity. There are many pc sons in'the State who have passed the 90th year. The oldest man in Indiana died at Terre Haute last %eek at he age of nearly 105 years. Octogena dans are to be found in every couniy in the State, while the average age in Indiana is considerably higher than the average foy the country at large. The males of Indiana are taller of stature than those of any other state except Vermont, and in the wa for the Uuion the muster rolls in the Adjutant-General’s office at Washington show that Indiana soldiers were above the highest average in stature of any other state. These are things to be proud of as illustrating the favorable conditions of physical developement and they prepare us for another feature in the same line in which Iudiaua also ex

celss* No state can compare with Indiaua for fecundity. If her men are stalwart her women are worthy to be ma4ed with them. A few years ago a metropolitan paper offered prizes to the women of the Ohio valley who had the highest record in maternity and Iudiat a mothers Were found to lead the list at every point. They bad produced larger families, a greater number ot twins, triplets, quadruplets, etc , than any other state in the contest and easily carried away all of the prizes. So proud are Indianians ot this noblest and most useful of human achievements that iherte is quite a rivalry between some of the cour.ties of the state for the honor of first place. Not long ago The Pike Count? Democrat, under the somewhat boastful headline. “Pike wears the horns,” published the followlug interesting historic pai» agraph: Pjke county ;an boast of having one of the largest families in the State. The most remarkable thing is the ages of this lamily. The father of tills interesting family la James T. Faster, whe was born in South Carolina in 1816, and came ,to this county in 1822, and married his p esent wife in 1841, and lived near White G k all these years. To them were born sev n sons and seven daughters, all of whom are living. The o dest son is now fifty years of a ?e, and are all enjoying good health. Since l ittling here neither have been beyond the Sid h line but one time a nd then the husband m ide a visit to Nebraska friends. There is no qu itiOn but what the Foster family isjthe larg. st innumber in the State of their age. Whtt county can beat this family? The Democrat’s question did rot wait long for an answer and oijic, loo, which must have put idamper on its pride. The Cannelton Telephone, the next week, copied The Democrats boast add added the following comment : / J, W. Neumrn,of Anderson township, has twenty-one cli Idren, 19 boys and two giria, and the ramar. abie feature of the family 4s that every one of these boysj.together with their father, vc ted for;Grover Cleveland at the last presidential election. The entire family, 23 in number, are enjoy ingthe best of health, and the old gentleman, especially, enjoys the activity of comparatively a young man.

The Telephone contents itself with the bare statement of facts mindful of Tub Democrat’s discomfiture and that future returns mi sc lit give the supremacy to some other country But down to data Perry countv’wrccord for fecundity is the higheslj. Pike comes second while the other 90 counties of the State cau easily make such a showing as will bear out the claim that Indiana’s native population is iucreaung more rapidly than that of any other slate iu the Uuion. —Evansville Courier. “During the pideinic of la grippe Chamber Iain’s Cough Remedy took the lead here and was mue 1 . better liked than other cough medicine V Bangs, druggist, Chatsworth, 11 The gripls much the same as a very severe cold and requires precisely the same treat) ent.
