I have been read* it nearly two years, sent me by my friend Henry Coleman, of Otwell. I Jived many years on the border of Pikepounty near Otwell. The Democrat by Its habit of publishing items of news from different localities in the county keeps up my acquaintance with ilies. have there the old friends and their famMany of my old working mates gone since I come away from But through The Democrat I kcoj’) track of their children, thus your paper is like a letter from an old friend once every week. I suppose it hat Petersburg is a nice little city now. Have not sepn it for twelve years. If it has not improved very much—allow me to say that iNs not the fault of The Democrat. I have very early recollections of Petersburg, nlarly fifty years since wejweut there to mill. I imagine that the young folks now do not appre* dale the character of the men, and thp privations and hardships of the times when they hewed out homes iu thgt tremendous forest, built towns, established schools and churches for Hieir children.

1 am not Deiong 10 mu general ion that first broke ground in Southern Indiana, but I knew hundreds of them in my youth, and I want to sav of them that, though now they might he called rough, they had the qualities of integrity, courage, strength of character and sterling manhood, which constitute first-class humanity. Infthe vicinity of Petersburg and ir the town there were Brentons, Kinmans, Hammonds, Hawthorns. Traylors, Chappells and others who left Iheur works and multitude of children as a heritage to Pike county. I was astonished to read in The Democrat of a murder in Otwell, an attempted murder down on Patoka and at Pikeville. What makes the difference? Thirty-five or forty years jago there were very little killing done in that county. Now four murders in a month. Is it the difference between the whisky then and now. To 6ome extent no doubt, it is. But the principle cause is the villainous habit of carrying concealed weapons. It lias always been my opinion:—that in the ordinary business of life no one but a coward would do it. Your county clerk’s name is Cfoodlet Morgan. I want to say t«Cbim that if he is the man that I suppose he is, he is one of niy very earliesiacquaintances.

T. K. Fleming and John Hammond, Ireland friends. Tom always liked the “horse” and John “dry goods.” Now while I think about it, why canuot some one write a history /of Pike county. I ted you It would make interesting reading if well Written, why not some of your bright Hoosier school-masters? The names aud deeds of those old fellows ought to be preserved. I don’t believe that the civil history of the settlement of any small county on the continent would show more of human good, humau strength, courage, privation and endurance and final success than a correctly written history of that part of Indiana.

Mack seems to be contented with his lot in life.— Washington Advertiser. The obstruction and opposition of the Republican politicians and lordly monopolists against the Wilson bill is sufficient proof to every Democrat in congress that that measure is in the interest of the people. The term “Republican” has been so inis-used that it isHsynonimous with fraud, corruption, monopoly, trusts,combination, oppression and burden. Relieve the people from such by passing the Wilson bill in a hurrv.

The editor always feels highly gratified that his efforts arfe appreciated in giving the people all the local happenings of the county, when words of encouragement come from unsolicited sources. The following from our people’s party triend is fu • ly appreciated: Ayrshire, Feb. 16,18SM. Editor Democrat:—Please find enclosed $1.00 for your paper. Please lorward the paper to me for the period ol time that pays for. Thanks also Tor sending the paper to me after my time expired until i could pay for it longer. Of course I do not agree with your paperon politics, I take it because its newsy and gives the details all over the county. 1 am a people’s party man. I see your Otw ell correspondent made a mistake in y6ur last Issue in regards Jones and Auberrie be ng there prospecting for coal. It should have been Newton and Auberrie. Jones was v ith us but not on that business. Yours truly, Price Newton. Speaking of the uuwriiteu history ot a town, the LaGrange Democrat says: Every town has its unwritten history and it is jnst as well that it remain unwritten. Occurrences which daily pass under the observation of the newspaper man, should they be published, would continually keep the town in morbid state ol turmoil. Although some people may wonder and conjecture why the local paper does not publish certain little instances even though they be of a trivial nature, the editor realizes the harm to a greater or less extent is certain to follow*. The query j? often propounded to us: *‘VVhy did you nol publish that episode of Mr. So and So?” The person alluded to may be, ostensibly, one of tha best citizens of the town, hut commits in the eyes of some an unpardonable act, which if published would cause hard feelings and do noendof trouble. The editor would be justly accused of meddling in affairs that did not concern him, and trouble would be the final result. An intelligent editor uses discretion in such matters and is governed by a sense of duty and judgement. ,
