REGULATOR

Header, did you ever take Solhons Lxvke Reuulator, the “KiKa*or Live?. Medicines ? ” Everybody needs take a liver remedy. It ip a sluggish or diseased liver that impairs digestion and causes constipation, when the waste that should be carried oft* remains in th body and poisons the whole system. « Thao diifl, heavy feeling is due to a toroid liver. Biliousness, Headache, Malaria and Indigestion are aii liver diseases. Keep the liver active by an occasional dose of Simmons Liver Regulator and you’ll get rid of these troubles, and give tone to the whole system. For a laxative Simmons Liver Regulator is better than Pills. It does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly '"refreshes and strengthens. Kvery package lias the Red Z stamp on the wrapper. J. H. Xeilin & Co., Philadelphia. Millers* t'onveutlou. Hie third annual convention of a number of millers of Southern Indiana convened in this city last Monday saj e the Iluutingburg News, al which Huutingburg, Jasper and Oakland City were each represented by two delegates, while Petersburg, jOtwell, Augusta, Francisco,AVinslow, Pale, Qentryville, Ireland and Holland each had one representative in the convention. A number of matters pertaining to the milling business were discussed * especially the price of wheat and flour. It was resolved to maintain the price of good wheat to within 3 peut6 of the price offered at Louisville thereby preventing grain dealers from buying up the majority ot good wheat and sendiug it to foreign markets. This will be a great beuefit to our tanners and will always insure them a good price for their wheat in the home market. It was also agreed to keep the price of the lower grades of wheat as low as possible, as the millers do uot care to buy this ftind of yvhent and will not object to its shipment to other markets. Before adjourning the following officers were' elected for the ensuing year: President—H. Katterjohn, ot Winslovr. \ Sec’y and Treas—G. A. Klenk, ot .Oakland City. ▲ Happy Evening. ’ Miss Addah Oliphant, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

The members were all present and a lively discussion occurred ‘ ou the issue of bonds. After parleying for some time a vote was taken and the bond question carried. The school trustees wanted $5,000 but as that amount would overreach the constitutioual limit of two perceut the trustees thought that about $4,000 was all that could be issued at this time. They will be iu denominations of $500. each and will be placed ou the market as soon as possible. The same questiou came up before the board a few week9 ago when it was voted down.

One of those old-fashioned crowds was in Petersburg oh the 4th to take in the festivities ol the day’s proceedings occurring at the fair grounds, where speeches and athletics and novelty races were the order of the day. The principal addresses of the day were made by Mrs. Commack in the forenoon and by Hon. D. Q Chappell in the afternoon. There were the usual number of stands where refreshments were served, but as the people had come to see and not to spend money, they were poorly patronized. The parade in the morning was a very slitn affair but very few persons participating in it. | . The old time>iispi^y of fire works failed to materialize and the day of all days was over. The managers of the affair, it is said, lost mouev on the day’s program.

Where 1« tbe Reform Promisedl The republican party of Pike county fora number of years past has been crying “reform! reform!” in every campaign. It was a winning cry and the voters placed that party in power, it now having control of all the county offices. But is there a reform? Well, hardly. YVith a well-filled treasury the surplus has dwindled down and the county is greatly in debt, to such an extent that county orders are being floated, the bonded debt increased, and nothing short of an increased rate of taxation will keep the couuty from being further plunged iu debt. Where is the reform promised the people bv the republican party. There is a much needed reform that is a reform at the present time, and the expenditures should be cut dowu and save the people from high taxation. ! • Old People.
