* Hello, Central! That will soon be the? yell at the phone to the central office. There is a strong talk of an exchange, here and j- several gentlemen are interesting s themselves in the matter, and have at this time nearly completed the plans for the same. An exchange can be pperated here jit a very small expense and would be a verv great convenience to the people of this city. Bv reason of the patents expiring pn the phones they can be purchased at about one-fourth the.cost of several years ago. It is proposed, as stated to a Democrat reporter o'hj^dav last week to make (he rental ot the phones very cheap so that all citizens may have oue in theieresidence. It would be a great convenience to the people in ordering goods from the stores and in calling up the doctors and all other professions. It would save many a long walk. By all means let’s have an exchange, anti that as soon as possible. The promoters of the enterprise are also thinking of running a line from , Union toOtwelJ, and if this is done, the people living in those localities can send in their orders for goods and have them delivered by the mail carriers. It would be a source ot great benefit to the people living near those places. ^ Talk it up and let every business man be ready to put in a phoue when solicited.

A Word to the Boys. Don’t do ft boys, you young fellows who slip away from home evenings and stay opt on the streets, loafing until late in the night', perhaps early in the morning, You are young now hut the time will come when you will wish you had been careful of your health and habits. And don’t please don’t stick a miserable smoking cigarette bet Ween your teeth and puff au«l smoke until your lungs become as dry and Brittle as a hied goose’s liver, your skin as v el low as a dried lemon, aud your ey es dead and watery as a boiled onions. Don’t cock your little old hat on one side of your little swelled bead, and start out in search of red liquor. It you do they’ll bury vou one of these days. *aud they’ll do it irv a hurry and bury you deep. If you want to be a man let drink aione. Read, study, play marbles or ball, mu, kick up .your beets like a filly turned into pasture for the first time in the spring, but don’t pour rotten poison stuff, called whiskey, down your tbroau It isnt yours an\Way ; it belongs to the devil, and he needs it all, every drop of it. And above ali, don't by word or deed, add to the burdens of your mother; remember she loves you as deeply as when you were a clean, white babe though you may In* a “tough kid” whotci everyone dislikes. She is not so strong as she ouce was, the baud of time, maybe, has touched her hair and left if gray and streaked where jit was once beautiful and glossy. Her step is lower th,an it used lo be. Be a man; respect belaud live right ami when she dies who loves yon more than anyone will love you again, when the wasted, fired hands have been folded for unbroken Sleep, there will go with you sweet and tender recollections like guarding angles aloug the rugged road of life. Now is the time to begin to be a man ; not wait until you are “grown up.”

The Legislature. One of the bills introduced by Mr. Robinson is intended to reach the persons who is the defendant in a 6uit for bastardy or seduction, and gets rid of the prosecution by marrying the complaining witness and then relieves hijnself of the marriage by promptly deserting the new-made wife. The mil provides a penitentiary sedteifce for such persons. This bill was recommended by Judge Welbpr.n of Prince,ton, who is one of the oldest circuit judges in the state, it has been favorably reported io rtfuT house.—Washington Gazette. j A bill has been introduced in the legislature to exempt mortgages/rom taxation. Siiould such a measure become a law, the fellowsrwho hold mortgages on Indiana fai tnswTsmld no doubt regard the fellow whojititroduced the bill as the greatest than in Hoosierdom. With the mortgages released from taxation the farmer who gave the mortgage will have his taxes increased in proportion to the size of the mortgage on his farm. This is a fair sample of republican reform legislation. The republican legislature will gerrymander the state for legislative' purposes. The latest bil! places Pike and Knox for a senator, and Gibson, Pike and Vanderbufg for a representative. If this bill passes Pike county citizens who have a legislative bee in their bonnets will please take off the bonnet and let the bee escape at once. The apportionment is very unjust.

Reduced State Debt. Auditor of State Henderson paid 1400,<300 more of the state debt. This is the last of a series of $600,000, the temporarary loan bonds of 1835, held by the Dime savings bank at.Brooklyn N. Y. On Novembea 1st, $200,000 of the amonnt was pud. In th^paat two years the democratic administration has paid on the public debt $1,300,000. It is a splendid showiug aud the administration has been one of the most economic in the state’s history. Memorial Services. Last Friday was memorial day of the A. O U. W. lodges throughout the country. On January 18.1887, John Jordon Upchurch, the founder of that order died at his home in St. Louis, and that order bfs set that day apart on which to hold memorial services. Rev. Dr. Bain, of Oakland City, a member of that order of this city conducted the memorial exercises iu this city. There was a yery large attendance of the members. A Bad Wreck. ; The north bound freight on the £. & I. railroad was wrecked near Sandy Hook last Thursday afternoon. Seven cars were derailed aud thrown down the steep embankment. The cars were loaded with poultry, eggs, machinery and other stuff. The passenger train from the north was delayed several hours. Nobody was hurt*

To The Patriotic People of Indiana. A bill will be presented for consideration to tbe present session of The General Assembly of the state ot Indiana for the location and establishment of a Soldier’s home for dlsa* at and Among all the hied soldiers and their families Lincoln in Spencer county, Indiana. We believe that no location has been or can be suggested that would be more appropriate for such a purpose or give more general satisfaction to the soldiers of our state than at the* old Lincoln farm where our martyred president, Abraham Lincoln, spent the years of his boyhood, youth and early manhood, ilere he earned his name of “The Rail Splitter”; here by bis intelligence and his toil he laid the foundation ot his future great ness that placed the name of “Honest Abe” side by spits ,with the greatest best of America’s public men. cherished names rtf that stormy and sad period of our country’s history, no one is deareem^ closer to the heart of our old soldiers than the name of Lincoln Not only is his name linked to that locality, the home of his youth, by the tact of it* having been the thearre of hi« early life and struggles, but toda>, ott a wooded eminence on that same farm, stands (he monument, erected as fneiivtship-* tribute, that marks the resting place of the mother whose s irit he Inherited, and whose early influence doubtless shaped his future destiny and inspired his goodness and his greatness. This farm, sacred to all Americans as associated with Lincoln's earl’ . life, and as bearing in its bosom the ashes of bis mother, is. West not onlv with historical association, Jhat should and does make it dear to every American heart, but nature seems to have kindly fifed it and accident to ^ave preserved it to be consecrated for jusfi such a purpose as is contemplated in this bill. I

li is adjacent to the town of Lin coin and situated on the L. E. & St L R. R., at a station and rail (naif crossing, and is easy of access by rail from tour directions. It is a picturesque luca<ioo on rolling lands with fine natural groves of forest trees, and a beautiful tartifielal lake half a mile wide adds to the refreshing view and furnishes means of exercise and entertainment. A few feet beneath4* the surface of the land are boundless fields of coal, and pure tyater is found in plenty at the depth jif only a few feet. Of more importance. however, 'than all.'this, more than the hallowed associations or the serene beauty of the spot, or, in fact, than anv otherjidvaniage that could he sought, i* the fact that no more healthfulJmeality could be obtained thaiiJrm'e. Remote from marshes, sjwrftmps and lowlands, no. miasma, malaria or noxious valors poison the pure air of that vicinity to render it noisome or unhealhty. This region inviting in sentiment, historical charm, natural aptitude and health, will be largely contributed to by the citizens of said county, together with cash donations, to Insure being thus honored with the locating and establishing of said proposed institution. Other; uo more meritorious portions of our loved stale of Indiana, have been kindly dealt with by our Legislature, and mot# especially does tbits; appear to be the case as to ;be north ern half of the state, andjyhile we cheerfully and gladly see other parts thus favored, we say, in no envious spirit, that geographically, the site

herein appeals to everyone’s sense of fairness as being entitled to this recognition. We see that Indianapolis has the state house, soldiers monument, hospital t'or the insaneand institutes for the deaf and blind; Lafayette, Purdue university ; Knights town has the soldiers and sailors’ orphans’ home ; Plainfield, the- reform school for boys; Richmond, hospital for the insane; Logansport, hospital for the insane; Fort Wayne, Indiana school for feeble minded youth; Marion, natioua! soldiers’ home, and we insist that.it would be fair, in view ol these facts, to locate the proposed institute at Lincoln City, Spencer county, Indiana.
