“Now is the opportunity of a lifejtime,” is an old motto commonly used, by many. The opportunity now presents itself to the capitalists and business men of Petersburg to do something for the town iu which they pave made their money and where they do business and expect to Jive for sometime to come. Every person knows the needs of employ* jnent for the people. Laboring men must have employment to live here or less must find employment at some other point. The town to grow and prosper must have factories and pther institutions that will briug in people aud give them something to jdo. Petersburg has the capital; she pas the advantages; the surrounding country has the material with which tQ supply the demauds. Factories whether thev be small or large, adds to the advancement of the town ; they bring in wealth and iucrease the population. These institutions as everyone knows are needed very piuch here at the present time. The pnly question is. how can the town secure them? Probably the only to do this is to organize for the purpose, and invite those who desire engage iu the manufacturing business to locate iu Petersburg. Manufacturers are always on the - Mart to secure locations where material in their especial lines of manufacture can be secured cheaply pnd ih large quantities, and if thi6 locality has it they would probably jocate here. It is worth an effort. Trqer words than the following were never put in print. Wo cull l Jhem from the Anderson Herald: .“If there is any woman who needs the commiseration of sex it is the ope who is married to a shiftless man, the nr.an who never has a wood pile, whose cistern is always empty, pump broken and cupboard bare as old dame Hubbard’s while he loafs about town. The poor wife in the meantime is forced to take in washing to buy food for him whom she took for better or worse. The cases are legion where the. wife and mother is the winner. She furnishes the food tor the little ones and is forced to put up with the shiftless man whom she calls husband.” Indiana, the pride and boast of our people, concerning the free school system, is falling behind other smaller states ip many instances. There is entirely too much High school aud college hifalutin in management and methods aud the common school system, which was originally designed, |s altogether ignored and disregarded. JSxtre expense for extra nonsense is what ta^: payers are seriously objecting tq. Too many intricate studies in primary departments, too much cramming and superficial foolishness pud entirely too little practical education Is whet is injuring and destroying our public school system.— |few Albany Public Press.

The Lair ei the Subject. As much has been said as regarding the sessions of the board of conjntv commissioners and (heir pay during the past several qaonths it is not out of place to quote the^aw on the subject from the Indiana statutes of 1881, and which are now in force. The first section denotes when a regular session shall be held and of what duration snd is as follows: 5736. Regular sessions. S. Much Commissioners shall meet at the court-house pr Auditor’s office In each county, on the first Mondays In .March, June, September, and December in each year.

The following section denotes how and when special sessions shall be called for auy urgent needs, and reads— 5737. Special sessions. I. Special sessions of the Board of County Commissioners of the several odUntles In this State may be called whenever the public Interests require It. by the County Auditor; secondly, by the Clerk of the Circuit Court, In case of the death or disqualification of the County Auditor; thirdly, by the recorder of the proper county, In case of the disqualification, from any cause, of both County Auditor and Clerk ot the Circuit Court. | The commissioners are allowed for services when in regular or special session the sum of $3.50 each per diem. This is also regulated by law by the following section : 5823. Pay of Board. 81. The County Commissioners' fees shall be as follows.; For each day's attendance as a member of tbe County Board or Board of Equalization, each Commissioner shall receive three dollars and fifty cents. * Institute Resolutions.

RmiI'Etm, It bas beeu a ioug time since Louisa has had a more quiet pretty, little wedding than the one celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Eves, on the morning of August 14th at 7:30 a. tn , it being the marriage of their youngest daughter, Miss Grace, to C. E. Reuss of Petersburg, Ind. The young lady is one of Louisa's most charming and highly respected young ladies. We feel that Mr. Reuss has won a prize, and what is Louisa's loss is Petersburg’s gain and we highly recommend her to the pew home to which she is going. Mr. Reuss, while we have only kuown him for the pa6t four years, has won the respect aiu} confidence of the people. He was t> po of the Big bandy News, during his sojourn here, and we feel confideut that Miss Grace has won a true aud worthy youug man. The room was darkened and beautifully lighted by artificial lights and decorated with house plants. At 7:30 Miss Ella Bert Hutchisou appeared at the organ aud rendered most charmingly Mendelsohn’s wed* ding march. At this point the bride and groom appeared and were mot by Rev. French, who performed an impressive ceremouy, after which the bridal party immediately repaired to the train where they received congratulations and good byes. The Picket joins the many friends in wishing them a long, happy and prosperous life.—Louisa, Ky., Picket. C. E Reuse and Miss Grace Eves wore married Wednesday morning at the home of the bride's parents at this place. They left on the train soon afterward for'Petersburg, Ind., where they will reside permanently. The wedding was a very pretty *affair. Rev. J. T. French performed the ceremony, in the presence of about fifty guests. The wedding march was played by Miss Ella Hutchinson, of Ashland. The bride was one Louisa’s highly esteemed youug ladies and her many friends only regret that she is not to remain a resident of this place. Mr. Reuss is a young mau of excelent j morals and popular turn, and during his long stay at this place he made many friends. Our best wishes go with the lvappy youug couple.— Louisa, Ky., News.

Indiana Crop Report. " Following is the report of the Indiana weather crop bulletin: “The dry weather of the last week hindered the growth of all crops, especially corn, potatoes, pastures and tobacco. General rains would greatly add to their value. Occasional rains have fallen, but have been .badly distributed. Coru generally is in a very good condition, and the prospect was fine for an unusually large and excellent crop until the dry weather of the last week, which was not beneficial 10 its best development. It has suffered somewhat on the good land, and is beyond hope of recovery onvthin land where the drv weather has been continuous. Tsbacco Is a medium crop. Pastures are short and are drying up in many localities. Apples, peaches and pears promise a good yield.” Marion Township Teachers. T. C.
