The outer course of the wall is being laid with pressed brick, which will add greatly to t<he appearance of that magnificent building. The 6tone work on the jail part is rapidly nearing completion. The work is being well done. Arkansas only went democratic by 30,000. At the last election for governor tho state gave 25,000 majority. See the difference.. This is a result of wise legislation in the last congress. The states voting are giving increased majorities in every instauce. So it will bo In Indiana. There is nothing the matter whatever with the voters. The souvenir of Petersburg issued by C- M. Krebs, late proprietor of the Press, is very well executed. It contains a number of views about the city and also of a number of residences and public buildings, besides a number of portraits of citizens of of this city. It is a very nice piece of work and reflects much credit upon Mr. Krebs. The souvenirs sell at fifty ceDts each and a large number should be sold. At half past three o’clock Tuesday morning the barn of Ileury Heathman, on# mile west of Ilosmer, was discovered to be on fire, and before assistance could be rendered the building was destroyed. In the barn were a lot of corn, hay, wheat and farming Implements, which, were destroyed. The loss is about $1,500, with a small insurance. The fire was doubtless the work of an incendiary.

The Democrat this week is under obligations to Editor Harrell, of the News, for favors shown the editor. The editor of this paper " has been kept close to the office looking after the job department, and has been unable to devote much time to the fair.

In attempting to cross the walk that leads from the Carpenter building to the court house yard, the bicvele on which he was seated turn* ed over suddenly and with such force as to result ip injuries stated above. Under the treatment of Drs. Adams & Basinger he is doing nicely..

GRANDER THAN EYER spread before them. It would require an eutire page fo mention the lnundred^ of articles that are unique, beautiful and useful. James D. Williams, a nephew of the late Governor “Blue Joans,” is in attendance with a fine drove of short horn cattle. Jim haB won red ribbons at” our fair for several years past. The exhibit of melpns, pumpkins, beets and “garden truck” in general | is by far the best ever witnesed—occasioning both delight and surprise when the great drouth is considered. The display of canned goods never fails* to attract the attention of all, and it speaks volumes for the good house keepers of our county—for it has never been surpassed and seldom equaled, outside of a state fair. The Union brass band arrived on contract time and with their excellent rendition of popular airs have fairly captivated the crowds in daily attendance. The band executes the most | difficult pieces in superb style. Dr. Lamar is the superintendent of the floral hall and Miss Zonia Crawford. Miss Mary Alexander and S. G. Farmer are his efficient assistants. Under the above supervision the arrangement of the hall is pleasing and attractive and favorable comment is heard on every side. George B. Ashby is the superintend dent of the poultry exhibit. Tuesday morning when a Knox county farmer drove up a‘nd began to unload some Chinese geese, George looked at them for a moment in astonishment and slowly remarked to Leslie Lapib: “Those are the largest Plymouth Bock chickens I ever saw !” The chicken exhibit is the best ever made. Among the breeds are White Cochin, Brown Leghorn, Cornish Indian Game, Plymouth Rock,' White and Brown Lee right Bantam, Crested Black Polish, Part-j ridge Cochin, Dark Brahmas, j Jloudin, Black Spanish, Bluff Cochin, Wyandotte and Langshang. ( LABOll DA It Poperly Observed at Hosracr by tbe Laboring IVeii. Las^ Saturday, Labor Day was observed by the local assembly at IIosmer iu the beautiful grove owned by Dr. Smith. There was a large number present and a good time was enjoyed by all. Speeches were made in the afternoon by Rev. Chesser, Lewis Loveless and D. Q. Chappell. Several games of base ball were played between local clubs, the most notable of which wa» between Hostner and Rumble, the former winning by a sedre of 34 to 20. This is the first picnic of the kind held for sometime and the boys enjoyed themselves hugely. The managers of the picnic are to be congratulated on the success of the day as it passed off quietly and profitably to all.

Base Ball; . The Montgomery boys came to the city last Sunday full of bright hopes of laying lo.sv the famous team of this city at one and t)ie same time, but after the fourth iuoing they concluded they had run up against a snag. The locals presented a rather weak team against Montgomery's, but. won out easily.} The score, Innings.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Petersburg.31 080383 1—27 Montgomery.2121 1 2 30 0—12 Batteries—Petersburg. Reuss and Lory; Montgomery, MoClutlck uud Chappell. Wednesday, the Huntingburgs came to this city to knock the wiud out of the local team. They Secured the cream of ball playprs of Southern Indiana, bringing with them' one player from Evansville, one from Cannelton, five from Boonville; the two remaining players being Huutingburgs true enough. But that made no difference to the locals, they being bent on =a victory. It was the finest game ever played in the city by all odds, and stamps the boys as ball players. Ed Reuss simply pitched an elegant game while his support was all that it could be, especially was this so with Battles, Lory, Thomas and Ficklin. But the boys all played good ball. Both teams played ball trom the stprt. The following is the score: « Innings.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Petersburg ..3 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0—5 Huuiingburg.0 0 0 0 0 0 I 2 0-3 Base tuts, Petersburg, 9; Huntingburg, 7; errors, Petersburg, 3; Huntingburg 9; struck out, by Reuss, 6; by Puller L Batteries, Reuss and Lory for Petersburg; Foreman and Fuller for Huntingburg Umpire, Minks. For the Housewife. C. R. Hale, inventor, has at the fair ground what appears to be perfection in the way of a washing machine. It is complete. Alii tie furnace attached heats the water. It is constructed on philosophical principles and i$ called “Hale’s W. W.” because the arrangement that does the washiug is in the shape of two w’s, ingeniously formed so as to allow the steam and hot water to circulate through the clothes under pressure

ancj without “wadding.” The rna chine is made of galvanized iron, all steam tight. The water in the machine is heated with wood enough to cook a meal of victuals and will do the washing for a family ot 8 or 10 persons. The inventor goes farther than this. He says he defies any wooden tub machines to compete with him in durability, convenience, quantity and quality, and is ready at any time to meet any man who thinks that he can down Hale’s W. W. Washing machine tor money, marbles or chalk. Call and see it. t'ato items. . Mr. Alvin Traylor shipped a car load of cattle and hogs last week.
