INDIANA CENTENNIAL. j The prospect of it celebration, on an extensive scale. of the one hundredth anniversary pf the #-sti»t..:$hment «*f Indian*’* territorial government i- received every where with enthusiasm. In no section of the state U the interest in this proposed celebration more general or warmly manifested trial? in the First d .! district. The sentiment there is practically unanimously in favor of not only holding - an exposition, bujt of making it an affair of great magnitude. Charles M.' Speneer of Sit, Vernon, believes in a big oekbration to follow as closely as possible the general plan of the World’s Fair. Warren Wade, of WadesviHe, P. 4ty county, writer that nothing Should be left undone to make tlie celebration one of the greatest tuouyments in American history. John Cronbach of Mt. Vernon, thinks that the ladies of the state should be called njKti for their active support, because he deems it necessary to have t heir .o -operation to make u success of anything. Mr. Croubach believes that the committee should go work as soon as possible and secure promises from the people of the several township* In the state for a display of everything noble and worthy ia their respective districts. Be thinks all war relics should be oollantnA, and in addition to .this the portraits, and histories of the prominent citizens. and aho that the display should cover the best that i* grown, manufactured or mined in Indiana. He wants au exhibition second to that of no other state in the Union. K. E. Thomas of Mt. Vernon, desires to see an exposition which will place before the world the history and development of Indiana. John Martin of Poeeynlle, favors a large celebration. A. B. Mackey^tf Mt. Vernon, would like to see an exposition on a r-aic eomrnensarate with the size and standing of the state. Awarded Highest Honors—World’s Fair. ■DA BAKING POWDER MOST PERFECT MADE A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder. Ft* from Ammonia, Alum or any other adulterant <10 Years the Standard.

George Wandelof Grand View, Spencer county,..endorses the movement anti writes that he thinks it should receive such encouragement financially and otherwise as to make it a grand success and a credit to the state. E. M. Payne and B. F. Bridges, of the Farmers Bank, R.-ekport, write thatl they jiave ascertained the .views of many leading |itfzens in that section and find the opinion pn-vaii at that such a celebration ought to he given, and that it should be of such a character as would do credit to and would M!• fit ail Indiana. J. T. Taylyr of Eureka, Spencer county, says he would be recreant to his sense of state pride were he not in favor of the pr'jnsisi celebration. He believes it will redound in great benefit in many ways to the people of Indiana, and that it will acquaint them with the natural and artistic resources of the state. It will also he urges, cause a commiugliug of our citizens, which will result in a Utter acquaintance and a more neighborly feeling. It will show to tic world that the diversified natural resources of Indiana are-second to no state m the Union, thervtv inducing, so Mr. Taylor believes, both native and foreign capital to invest here. 1L \V, May, ofRockjort, hopes to see an exhibit:* n that will bea true index of Indiana. lie thinks it advisable for each county to make a separate aud distinct display of iU resources and believes that the people of Spencer county are,unanimously in favor of any plan that will economically, yet fully represent county and sh$te progressiva. Indiana, he say's, i- wort hy of a great exhibition. 4. R. Huffman, of Huffman, Spencer county, favors the celebration, not only as a matter of state pride, but as a practical benefit through the advertising it would .give Indiana. “Place our glorious, old state,” he says, ‘‘first of all states in the union. The place to which we are entitled.” George Thomas, of Rockport, urges an imposing celebration and thinks that Indiana, with its wonderful resource? in every field and wonderful progress in the past one hundred years should be propc-riy brought before the whole world. J. J. Apj legaln. of Littles, Pike county, takes it for granted that Indiana will want to do something worthy her name and wealth. He does not think it advisable to t->py other expositions, nor does he believe it. advisable to spend a great amount of money on buildings that shall be razed a few months later.

C., at Miss Francis Willard gave one of characteristic addresses. She soon sails England, f*>r a period ,e rest, «■ There are two prohibition mayors in Wisconsin. thiT. hieh ;pc | aw j of Wi Says an old journalist: Long ohservan lias assort'd us that a large proportion mutdehs deliberately planned and executed without passion or malice, with na i other motive than the acquisition of = pro]w eriy or money, often of trilling value, are. rpetrated by beer drinkers. In a certain city, not a hundred miles ay, a grievance broke out in the shape a ma^l dog scare, and immediately laws re passed for protection and long posters 1 were ; ut up to enlighten the [>eople about j the same; also immediately did the oustoS dial's,of the peace of that town seek to (p out the law, both by letter and in it. Now. this was all right and not to condemned, but in that same village I -ere five saloons, places where disease, me and death lurk d; yet in all that place there was not one signal of -danger placed, hot one bill of instruction and ! warning to the j»eople posted up; yet young* ■ mm and lean Hess boys were seen coming from these places bitten by something far wiirse than a mad dog, for though a man : die of hydrophobia his soul may still be j pure, but if from drink h«>w dark the life, ! how small the hope for the future. There ypre also widows and orphans and wretched verty-stricken homes* in that city caused saloons, but most of the young women ; ;?j| that town had come to accept the false of iporais, I.©., that as nearly all ije young men drink, it was to be tolerated beau and lover, still the mothers sleep, id the fathers go about their business as t IB nothing happened, when only a little further on there awaits tears, broken hopes aid hi arts for their daughters; and disgrace and disaster for their son#. Ah, me! Mad dog or saloon! Which is most to be fiared? This S e ought to have done and I ; njot have left the other undone.” The W. C, T. U. was well attended at the 31. E. church and the subject well handled. tie next meeting will be at the Presbyterian church. Com*. r ' AitiE R. Law, Editor**. SPURGEON HAPPENINGS. Farmers happy. We have had a good tatn.
