The laundry is now turning out good work, better than ever and you should give the home Institution the preference.

Bart Stinson. James Miley and several other jolly miner boys of Ayrshire, were in the city last Sunday. They came over to see a game of ball played, understanding that Boonville and Loogootee were to cross bats. No games have been arranged between these clubs up to date. Come again boys. Two of the most lovely of our many charming young ladies went persimmon hunting one evening last week. They found such an abundance of 'possum fruit and ate so heartily of it that their lips were so puckered that they could not “cluck” to the horse, consequently the horse took his time and the two young ladies were after dark getting home. The surviving members of Co. I., 58th Iudiana volunteers held their auuual reunion last Saturday at the! residence of Capt. W. E. Chappell in j Jefferson township. About fifteen members were present, besides 500 or 600 others. All had a good time and were served to an excellent dinner. Short addresses wore made by Capt. Chappell, John Hargrave, S. H. Stuckey, Nathan Evans and other old veterans present, and were heartily applauded. It is safe to say that a more successful reunion of any company waR never held in the county,'and it was a credit to those having it in charge, Capt. Chappell is a delightful entertainer and the meeting of Saturday shows tha( he has not forgotten how.

The Pomeroy family gave an entertainment in our church atj Scio last evening under the auspices of Epwortih League, which was in every way highly appreciated by a large audience.—J. L. Secrist, Pastor M. E. church, Scio, Ohio. Mrs. D. S. Osborn, who has been confined the greater part of time since last Christinas, is withstanding h?r great affliction with such patience and fortitude as only a true devoted Christian can command. The earnest wish of her multitude of friends is that she may Ibe ^.returned to her health soon. Politics in Pikecouuty are not boiling at fever heat this week, owing to the fact that there is not much anxiety felt bv a^nuinber of the republican voters for certain candidates on that ticket. They simply don’t care whether they are elected or uot. Some of them have had enough office and more than they will get this coming November.

A Positive Denial.—I wish to say f.o the publie that the report that I had offered to soli my furniture and undertaking business is absolutely false. I have come to stay. Doubly assured by my past success, you will always find me at the old stand ready to show you the largest and most complete line of furniture and undertaker's supplies ever carried in Petersburg. I will also guarantee you less prices aud more favors than can be had from my competitors. Respectfully, W. A. Braden, Pinnev’s Old Stand. The tariff question is settled, practically speaking. Of course, like aU other laws of like magnitude, many amendments may be needed to make perfect. These will suggest themselves from time to time; but the great bulk of the work is done and for the calamity shriekers and peanut politicians to be continually shouting about it is the sheerest nonsense. It reminds one of the William Goat that concluded that itself and the gate post couljd not both remain in the same barn yard. The post did remain for many years after Mr. Goat had butted his brains out against it. The present tariff bill with a lew amendments will remain after all that is mortal of Squire McKinley or Peanut Ben has gone where the good William Croat went,

The “Brownies** are coining! Fielcher Shandy has a new girl I baby at his home. We make a specialty of good dress linings. E. M.

Chappell, two of the riproaring populists, ofVelpeu, were iu town Tuesday. Green county is goiug to build a $3 500 residence for the sheriff. It is different in Pike county. We are putting on airs and notbiug but a $50,000 residence will suit. The living pictures in the new Uncle Hiram are produced under the personal supervision of Miss Louise Garnett. Go and see the latest novelty at the opera house, Saturday night, November 3d. The ring will get a good dose of their own medicine in Logan township next month. The voters of the township don’t like the, way the Petersburg clique are running things and will lay to down the crowd. A young lady commercial tourist, was one among the attractions of Petersburg Monday. Gradually the sphere of woman is broadening. Some women are actually kood housekeepers,—whether they will remain is an open question. One huudred and twenty persons wont to Evansville on the Harrison excursion last Friday. The Hemenway club ‘*500 strong,” consisted of about sixty members, the majority of whom had their railroad fare paid to the grand rally. The rally wai a failure in point of numbers. Some of the boys from here instead of getting euthnsed got “boozed.” Two verdicts by a jury as emphatic as were those of the people two and four years ago ought to satisfy any people, except those whose assinine disposition and turn of mind render them too obtuse to understand that the people of this country don’t wish to pay royalty for the benefit of millionaire manufacturers. This may not seem unselfish iu the laboring men, but they are constituted just that ^y. Hon. W. E. Cox, prosecuting attorney for Dubois, Gibson and Pike couuties and candidate for re-election, is iu the county this week talking to the people. He opened his canvass at Hosmer Monday evening. Tuesday night he addressed a large audience in Logan township, yesterday he spoke at Algiefo and Survant, and today sneaks at Stendal and Simtown,

closing his canvass at Winslow, Saturday afternoon. Mr. Cox is & forcible speaker and has a happy faculty of putting the issues before the people in a plain aud simple manner that sets them to thinking over the questions. The democratic county candidates will accompany Congressman Taylor in his canvass ot the county. Let every voter attend the meetings as advertised.and meet the democratic nominees. They are men, who if elected, will serve the people well and look to the best interests of the tax-payers. They are pledged to reduce the expenditures to a minimum sum and reduce the debt of the county as expeditiously as possible and thus save to the tax-payers the great burden of interest the county is pay^ ing at the present time is enormous, and the debt has been increased. Mr. Taylor will deal in facts a« he understands them. Becomes tothe people with a clean record in the halls of congress. He has never missed a rollcall only when being absent on duty. He has done his plain doty to his constituency in every respect, and lo the old veterans of his district he has been a friend indeed. Go out and hear him aud meet the couuly candii dates.

The entertainment was first class and ail enjoyed a rare treat.—Lancaster,.Ohio, Democrat.

Among the vast numbers who went to Evansville to hear Ben Harrison speak, it seems a great many return* ed disappointed ; some because they did not get to hear him and others because they did. Some few did not care whether he spoke or not. Don't ask us who. Mrs. Beardsley, of Winslow, died at the home of her parents, Mr. aud Mrs.5 Joe Colvin, in this city^Thursday morning last of typhoid fever. The husband and a 10months old baby survive her. The remains were taken to Winslow for interment on yesterday.—Oakland City Enterprise. The soldiers monument at Jasper was unveiled Tuesday. Governor Matthews made the principal address of the day. The moiuiroen' is a very line oDe and cost abmit $12,000, the mouey being made up by popular subscription. A number of old veterans from this county were in attendance. The money that has been iost to the conntrv by reason of the greenbacks not being taxed would pay all debts of this country and leave a surplus in the country treasury. But such is the. fact with all the laws passed by the'republicans, they rob the farmer aud the laborer and put the money into the pockets of the rich. . The social given by the members of the official board of the M. E. church last Thursday evening was a very pleasant affair, and may be said to have bee;; a success. So far as those in charge of affairs had control —nothing was wanting. The refreshments were fine aud nicely served1. The social feature was well carried out aud the business arranged withpromptness. All ^present enjoyed themselves, and wished the absent members had been present.

Do the republicans claim the vote of the people on local issues ? Have ^ then* poiut out some of their merits. Here are a few of the acts a democratic legislature enacted on which they demand judgment: The school book law. How many poor children of ludiaua will always bless the memory of the legislature that downed the school book octopus and placed school hooks within reach of the most iudrgeut. •fhe state tax law. The tax ridden farmers of the state will never forget the legislature that compelled the corporations ami wealthy men of the state to bear their just proportions of taxes. The law making laboring men^s debts preferred claims against failing creditors. The law compelling employers to pay laboring men in cash weekly. The eight hour labor law. The abolishing of “pluck mew stores. The employers liability law. The law prohibiting the blacklisting of emploves and throttling the Pinkerton detectives. These are ail democratic measures,, passed by democratic legislatures Do the peop.e approve them? They were passed in defiance of the opposition ot the republican party. - , ‘ - .r . . A..J
