Much good has come from the now vanishing hard times lessons are being learned. The masses are at school attending closely to their studies. Speculation, which has throttled industry and enterprise is dying a lingering death, aud debt, the “old man of *he sea,” around the neck of producers, is being shaken off by liquidation. Bad methods and a burdensome, vicious system of taxation, indirect and extortionate, are being discussed, probed and purged. Office* holders and froc-grabbers are being held up to criticism and censure, and public pilferers are being found out. Great sacrifices have been made and are still beiug made, by the people, in all walks of life, but error cannot be dethroned ana good accomplished Without making sacrifices. It has been eyer thus. Sacrifice is the star of human progress. It is the big aud the great who can make sacrifices for the common good, for the benefit of coming generations. It is the small and puerile who Hcry over spilt milk’* and bewail their condition. The signs ot times point to better methods; the r needs of similar government; less law and taxation; less paternalism and more individualism, in both* public and private affairs. By following better methods there are going to be better results, better times, better conditions, better men. Going through the fire simply purifies gold; passing through these “hard times” adds to the strength and resources of the peo

pie. The experience may lesson iheir present material wealth, but It aims them for greater real victories ami successes anti puts progress and civilization, and along with them American institutions, on safer and firmer ground. These times try men's souls, and in tryiifg and developing souls a government of the people, by the peo-1 pie, for the people, will not perish but Stand as the work and wisdom of the freest people who ever lived on the face of thq earth, Let's strive to be free —to have the necessary intelligence to understand freedom—and in this way to become better, trper American citizens, ever tair aud loyal to o»» redyes and our fellow men. There is no other good worth seeking but freedom: no other port to which men, In all ages, have steered the ship of State; along this route the greatest conquests and victories lie. Free trade is but a feeble step iu the same direction, and “hard times” but the darkness and chaos which are the usual result of a change from better to best. The darkest hour is ever just before dawn; good times are as bound to pome as day follows night. Let the erf be: “Ever Onward, Upward; » Never one step back.” Mt Editor of The Democrat, -what is your honest opinion of Hoke Smith.—Petersburg Press. Our opinion privately expressed plight be somewhat different from that held by the editor of the Press, ponsequfently we differ somewhat as to the man as be really which would possibly rot change the attitude of either of us. He is understood to be a man of medium heighth, smooth-shaven, about thirty-niue years old and a remarkable writer. He is also somewhat of an orator. He is a very learned gentleman, and also widely known throughout the known world. At the present time we have no personal acquaintance with the .9

The democrats of Marion township will hold a primary election to-mor-row for the purpose of noraiuatiug candidates for township offices. The Toting will be- held at the two precincts Of the township. There are two candidates for trustee and eight or nine for assessor. The best of feeling prevails and a close election is expected. Congressman Taylok has introduced a bill appropriating $20,000 for a statue of Robert Dale Owen to be placed at Ihe Smithsonian institution. Mr. Owen, while representing this district, secured, the legislation for the establishment of the Smithsouian institution, and was chairman of the commission which organized it. Mr. Taylor in thi$ move will have the endorsement of every patriotic citizen of the district. Ock friend of The Democrat ignores the fact tjiat the price &f wheat under the present administration has been lower than it ever was under any republican administration, but continues to discuss the rises and the falls that occurred during the republican times, though the price at no time ever touched so low a point assuring the present democratic administration.—Press. The people understand all about it. The price was regulated under the McKinley law. All nations cut off from buying our surplus. One dollar per bushel when Harrison was inducted into office, fifty cents when he stepped down and out, and the price is still fifty cents. Mr. Editor pay the farmer his loss. An Extraordinary Find. Lacy, Okla., March 13,1894 —Niue miles west of Lacy in Kingfisher county, on the 7th inst, a man by the name of Hayworth was quarrying rock near the Cimmaron river wheu he came to a [perfectly formed human body which had; become stone. It was about three feet below the surface iu a bed of earth and gypsum gravel, on top of the ledge of rock. It is the body of a large aaul well proportioned man, with every part iutaqt,—Ears, hauds, feet, nose, finger nails and teeth, without blemish or mark, except a small indentation in i right side, which is_supposed to have | been made by a bullet. Seems to have been large aud well proportioned, something over six feet long. He lay on his back straight and arranged as by Christian burial. From appearauces oue would think he was an American of Irish parentage. How long this body has laiu there, no one in this country seems to know. It is probable however uot more than 10 or 12 years. I am aware tha| petrified bodies are not so rare, bat the most remarkable thing about this oue Is the perfect preservation of all its parts, form and feature, i • J. E. Brittaix.

The trial of John C. Miller, of Vincennes, Indicted byr the last United States grand jury tor having fraudulently obtained a pension, will take place at Evansville the first week in next month. Miller is totally blind. It is averred in the indictment that Miller was never in the war of the rebellion, nor in any other war, and that he obtained a pension by falsely representing that he lost his eyesight while in the service. It has been represented to the government authorities that Mr. Miller is in destitute circumstances, and he has not been placed in jail. This is the only indictment for obtaining a fraudulent pension that has been returned since j the government began its investiga-1 tion through special agents iu Indiana several months ago. There are many ways of eating oranges, but the Floridian has probably the most com moil-sense way of disposing ot the fruit. He uses a sharp knite and pares the orange much the same as one would peel an apple, tak- ; ing care not to cut through the white riud that protects the pulp. Then ; holding the orange at the poles and cutting through the center the seed pots are removed. The rest is easy. As a colored boy in Jacksonville said: t‘Put yoah face in it and eat till you com* to the rind.,, The white riud forms a natural eup for the juice, and any oue who ever tries this method will never think pf removing the skin in the old way and quartering the fruit. — William A. Braden of this city,, has ^purchased the furniture and under* taking establishment of the late Mr. Pi finer at Petersburg, has taken possession and will conduct the business at the old* stand as usual. We bespeak for Mr. Braden the earnest consideration of the good pieople ot Petersburg and Pike county, and assure them that they will find Mr. Braden a wideawake, honest and energetic business man who will get bis share of the patronage and treat hiscustomers right. William, in whatever he undertakes, never gets left.—Washington Advertiser. A ten-ceut cigar for five—the Industry—union made. 27tf

I A TRIP TO AUGUSTA. The Democrat Man makes a Visit to the Villas^. . Her Business ai d .Representative Hustlers for Trade. The Big Coal Flel ls and fine Farming Lands of Great Value. Ltekfeart Township One of the Iticheat in Pike County. Through the courtesy of It. C. Hammond, the genial insurance agent ot this city, we accompanied him to August;, oue day last week, and took in a vi< w of the country and this beautiful little inland town. The drive through the country to Augusta was one of extreme pleasure to the writer, the air was bracing anjl the little birds chirped their songs of gladness amoug the branches of the lorest trees. The roads being fine for travel we weDt spinning along at a 2:30 clip and soou found ourselves within the confines of Lo' khart township and I the little town of Augusta. This village was laid out by the late Jackspn Com and Charles Beach, two of the pioneers and represenative men of the township. While the town is not very .large it is a splendid trading point for the people. The^' have oue of the best flouring mill in the county which is operated by A. Seebren and the Beach hers. It has all of the latest improver machinery and manufactures the finest grade ot dour. It enjoys a large local custom and runs the entire year round. The schools the past year have been under the supervision of Prof. W. S. Corn, one of the ablest instructors in the couuty, and the people claim to have one of the best village schools lit Pi^ke couuty. The professor is ably assisted by David Coen. There is one church in the village in which the M. E. and G. B. denominations worship. The attendance at the services being very large. Cable & Ka itl at an are getting their mines in a condition to operate ou a very extensive scale. The switch from near the Iron Bridge is completed, and the firm are ? now sinking shafts for the purpose of making the coal easy of access. Three of these will be sunk a ong the railroad track. Near the mines is a saw mill and blacksmith shop.

W. H. Seales besides being the post master, operates a general store audis enjoying a very good trade. Among the other business men of the place are the following: Jesse Agee, dry goods and a general store. Also proprietor of the hotel and livery stable. Bolen Usery, groceries and provisions. | Frank Scales, druggist. Jason Ileminway, blacksmith. Ralston McClure, blacksmith. Thomas MeCafferty, saw mill. Drs. Corn & McGlassom look after the sick and injured. Dr. Corn is also a member of the peusiou medical board «>f the county. The citizens are industrious ami representative men, with plenty^of push and sticktoativeness about them and very successful in their business engagements. The tanners In the locality are thrifty and energetic, and many of the finest farms in the county are it cated in that vicinity. The writer enjoyed the day very much and hopes at some future time to again make the village another visit. It is unnecessary to sav that our friend rlaainuond also enjoyed the trip, as that would not be expressing it In terms strong enough. And from the amount of victuals he stowed away at twelve o’clock m. we would I iter that he was hungry and that the inner man was satisfied. About the latter we promised to say nothing and we have kept our promise. Reserving Praise. We desire to say to our citizens that for years we have been selling Dr. King’s Xew Lite Pills Bueklen’s Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that has given such universal satisfaction We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price if satisfactory results do not follow their use. Th?se remedies have won their great popular* y purely on their merits. J. Adams & Sun, dittggisps.
