PAIN AND MISERY Avars Sarsaparilla £ures Rheumatism.

‘‘About 8 years ago, I suffered frura what the doctors exiled rbeuitism. Nobody knows the paia | and misery which I had to endure | and which citing to s fa spite of the pedleiaes prescribed. At last, I began taking Ayer's SampsMmgs&s&mmm

A.—'■ ■ --■ - A fyurter ef Century Old. With this issue of The Democeat commences the twenty-sixth year of Its existence. It has weathered the storms for a quarter of a century and is still hale and hearty and growing yrith each year of its existence. While the newspaper waters hare jbeen troubled at times it has always ,come to the top and become a factor for the public good of the county. In newspaper life, the same as in other business, it has its ups and downs, but The Democrat has had smooth sailing and is on the high road to

* /success. The Democrat has been under the present management for the past Jhree year*, and during that time we fiaye made many warm friends throughout the county, and we desire to retain that friendship during fhe years to come and while we regain at the helm of this publication.; >phe office has been overhauled and frith new type and additions to the {machinery it has become a model job printing office, and as such enjoys a good business among the people who /desire firstclass printing of all kinds. This department has become a special feature of the office and is under the .direct supervision of the proprietor, and the printing turned out is not .excelled by any job office in this territory. During the coming year there will be many improvements made in the publication ot The Democrat and to that end we desire all who are owing us small amodnts on subscription to cal) and settle the same. There are also a few of our subscribers who have neglected to settle their subscription accounts tor the past three years. This matter has been postponed by them month by month until three years have elapsed. It is time to crack down these amounts and to square accounts. Don’t neglect it longer. Wishing the patrons of The Demop*at a prosperous and happy busipess year, we remain. Tours to Please, The Editor.

Petersburg extends a hearty welcome to the Evansville district Epworl h League which gathers here next veet They are active and earnest workers in the cause of religion and social and moral reform. In numbers, strength and power for doing good the society they represent has shown a most remarkable growth throughout the land with the past few yearn, and nowhere has this been more pronounced than in Indiana. Petersburg homes have been v opened to them aud Petersburg hospitality will not be found wanting to jnake their visit as-pleasant as it will pertainly prove profitable. The ft. Wayne News says: jGroy. May hews is a candidate for the presidency. Why not? Has he not ghown himself in all the emergencies fhat have arisen during his term, to boon the side of good government? The name of Mr. Steyenson has been mentioned in connection with the same office. Gov. Matthews would be much the stronger candidate, for is a mau of the people, in touch h the masses. -I.v :

Thomas B. Bnsklrk, president of the Jackson league, has issued the folio win*: “To Indiana democrats: “At a meeting of representative democrats held at the Gray dub rooms in the city of Indianapolis, Jan. 9, 1895, the Jackson league of Indiana was organized and officers elected for the ensuing year. At subseqnental meetings held in the same cfty, the organization was perfect and steps taken for the organization ot local clubs throughout the state. The articles of the associatiea, together with plaa of organization of .such local clubs hare been printed and distributed to executive committeemen and the democratic chairmen of the various counties. “A number of local clubs hare already been organized in different parts of the state, bat the matter of such organizations is not progressing as it oocht. The league was not organised in the interest of any prospective candidate or faction—its sole object being the dissemination ot democratic doctrines and the success j of democratic principles and to secure to the democratic party the political ascendency that, as a matter of right, belongs to it, by reason of its numerical strength and the justness of its cause. By its constitution all clnbs or associations connected with it are strietly prohibited troin advocating or espousing, in any manner, the candidacy or nomination of any person to public office. While this is true as to the organization, the member, iu his individual capacity, will, of course, be free to support whom he pleases as a candidate for office, within the ranks of the democratic party. Local clubs ought to be organized at ouce in each couutv in the state, and I earnestly urge upon democarts to see that this is done and that independent democratic clubs, now organized, take steps to connect themselves with the league, in order that we may present an unbroken aud invincible front to our friends—the enemy. The democratic press of the state is earnestly requested to urge upou its readers the necessity of a prompt and thorough club organization throughout the state. A proper display of Jacksonian vim and vigor, in the direction indicated, will insftre os victory in the great battle of ballots in 1896.”

A dispatch trow Indianapolis says: The democratic candidates for governor of Indiana are lining up for the campaign of 1896 and already the names of several prominent gentlemen have been mentioned. Among them is Mortimer Nye, lieutenantgovernor ol the state, John 6. Sbanklin, editor of the Evansville Courier, Charles J. Jewett, ex-speaker of the bouse, and ex-Attorney General Greene Smith. The party has other gentlemen equally able and in some res|iect8 would be very strong before the people namely; Hon. John B. Stoll, of South Bend and Hon. Robert C. Bell, of Ft. Wayne. Ex-Governor Ira J. Chase died at Lubec, Maine, Saturday night, of erysipelas. He was there holding evangelic meetings, being a minister of ;the Christian church. He was sick but a short time. He was elected lieutenant-governor on the republican ticket with General Hovev for governor, and succeeded to the governorship when Governor Hovey died iu 1890. He was ^defeated for governor in 1892 br Claude Matthews. He was a veteran of the late war and was department commander of the G. A. R. in 1886. r

The taxation in Indiana for the pant year has been tabulated in tbe State Auditor's office. Th% valuation of the lauds in 1894 was $454.121,203; value of improvements thereon, $86,544,952. making a grand total of $540,076,155. The value of lots and improvements is placed at $3)2,705,445; personal property, $291,065,845: telephone and express property. $3,513,035; railroad property, $157425,035 Aggregate value of property subject to taxation, $1,295,106,415 _ There is a mistaken idea, says an exchange, that •‘culture” meaus to paint a little, to dance a little, to sing a little, and to quote passages from popular books. As a matter of fact ctilture means nothing of the kind. Culture means master over self, poll ieuess, charity, fairness, good temper and good conduct. Culture is not a thing to make a display of. It is something to use so modestly that people do not discover at once that you have it. Gcnesai Lew Wallace, Fred Elneffler and Major G. V. Menzies have been appointed board of regents of the state soldiers monument. The appointments give satisfaction to the people of the 6tate. The latter is a democrat, the other two being republicans.
