Kpargewn Kt(W. Raidf almost impossible. We are informed that i here will be ninetyfee days of ai-booi in Monroe township. Oor mslJe were very irregular last week mi eeeoent of high water. The prospect* for a large wheat crop is good, m ft stands well on the ground. J. R. Arnold, teacher in oor primary eehool, went to Warrick county Monday on bosiaecs. Francis McKinney had charge of the school during his absence. We are pleased to inform the many friends of A H. Oxby that he is rapidly recovering from a long spell of typhoid fever, and that in a few days will be found at his usual place of business. The many friends of J. W. McClary are congratulating him on the arrival of a beautiful daughter, which we hope will live to ornament his already beautiful home. Elder W. C. Arnold was prevented from , attending church at Pleasant Ridge last Sunday on account of high water. He started but had to come-back. Elder Jerry Huntsinger of Carriii. Illinois, was het|e last week and held a two days meeting. His sermons were well received by everybody that atteuded. The house was full both day and night. J. W. McClary and J. A. Shepard visited J. W. McClary *s farm near Boonville last Tuesday to place a lire insurauce on the buildings. The Pike County Democrat reaches us every Friday evening brim full of choice reading. We would be glad to. see everybody suhseribe for it, as it is one of the best papers ever published in the county, always advocating the cause of the people and exposing monopolies. We should all take enough pride in our county to support aud keep up a firstclass paper, and after doing our duty to our county we may then take a city paper. But the news that should in terest us most is our county news. Poplar drove Items. Plenty of rain and bad roads. Essa, youngest daughter of Golumbu? Burkhart, is ill with scarlet fever. But is better at this writing. James P. Humble is putting up a fine corn mill on his farm, consisting of a fine set of burrs and crusher of the latest improved style. r r S J. L. Beach hiu his new bom nearly completed. It will be one among the best barns in Log&n township. W. II. Robling lost a fine horse last week. Death resulted from what was supposed to be botts. Our schools will continue about thirty days longer. Riley Rumble is teaching a splendid school and is giving good satisfaction to the patrons. c The >1. E.. protracted meeting at the j Walt* chapel _das«d last Wednesday night j with several fconjiersions. The meetings were held by Rev. Vfturleave of the L'niou circuit. Under the Cleveland administration some of our republican friends complained ;iof such hard times that they didn’t know how in the world they could live. Now they; want to know where that confidence prosperity comes in that was promised them by I the republican ieaders and the trust com- j bines. They would like to kuow the difference between the Cleveland hard times and the McKntley confidence times.

Electric Railroad The proposed electric line from Vincennes, Iiid.ina, to St. Louis will, it is saijl. be the longest eleetric road iu the world. A. N. Brooks of Bresse, Illinois, superintendent of construction and of right of way of the proposed line, gave out that the building of the road is an assured fact. It will be built by the Wabash and Mississippi coustruction company, whose main office is at Salem, Illinois. The new line will follow what is known as the state road through Illinois, and will run parallel to the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern. It is the intention to establish switches and stations every two miles along the. route, and pick up passengers and freight at these points. The company also proposes to furnish‘electric lights to the towns along the route at low rates. Should the road be built it is thought that it will only be a question of time until the line will be extended to Louisville. The distance from Vincennes to Louisville is only, about a hundred miles, and the new line by that route would make the distance between Louisville and St. Louis forty. miks shorter than by any other route. The i fact that French Lick and West Baden springs would be op the route from Vincennes 10 LouievtRe; and about half way between the two cities would be another strong inducement to induce the proprietors to extend the line.

Black Dtanoud Railroad. On Wedneedav a meeting of the <lirecton of the Black Diamond railroad company was held in this city and was well attended. The meeting was held in the office of Edward Watson, the vice-president. Hon. William Kirkby of Toledo, Ohio, president of the road, presided over the meeting. The following named officers and directors were in attendance: Col. Albert E. Boone, Zanesville, Ohio. William Kirkby, Toledo,J^hio. George B. Wilson, Jasper, Indiana. - Thomas B. Wilson, Monroe City, Ind, James S. McCoy, Petersburg, ludiana. Edward Watson. Vincennes, Indiaua. J. S. Pritchett, Vincennes. W. A. Cullop, Vincennes. It was decided to order fhe survey to be. pushed with all possible speed. It is the intention of the directors to have the survey completed by May 1, 1898. Pour surveying corps are now engaged and another will be; started Monday. E, E. Watts, engineer in charge, and party are now in camp five miles east of Jasper. He has been ordered to make the survey up the Patoka valley. The other surveying parties are at work in the following places; One between Vevav and Iodianapolis,another at Geant,Indiana, locating' the bridge for the Ohio river; another between Sinking Springs and Columbus, Ohio; the other will proceed from Cynthiana, Keutucky, southward. Plenty of capital is pledged to build the road as soon as the survey can be finished and the right of way can be established. Mr. Dickinson of Washington City, and London, England,who is the financial agent of the projected Black Diamond railroad system in Europe, is at the Union Depot hotel. Mr. Dickinson met in consultation Wednesday with the directors of the road I in this city, and assured them that he had abundance ot British capital guaranteed for the building of the road as soon as the surveys, profiles and franchises should be presented in proper and satisfactory shape abroad, and passed upon by Sir Thomas Tancred (pronouuced Tankard),the eminent engineer who has been selected bv the British capitalists to act in their behalf upon the merits of the enterprise. Sir Thomas Tancred is the engineer who projected the Tehaon tepee tail road in Mexico, and great railway lines in New Zealand, South Africa and lines in other lands. “We will have no trouble m raising a sufficient sum in Great Britain to build the Black Diamond system,*’ said Mr. Dickinson, “as soon as the plans and franchises of the road are presented in London in due shape, and meet the approval of the great engineer who has been selected to pass upon them. Money is being loaned at 1 per ceut per annum in great Britain, and there are millions there that cannot be placed at even a small profit. The cotton thread trust was recently formed over there, and when they advertised for.£2,000,000($10,000,000) of stock to be tt^ken. £80,000,000 ($150,000,000), fifteen times the amount called for, was subscribed. This will illustrate the plethora of idle capital in the British Isles seeking investment. They dou’t care to invest in old line railway stocks any more, for they have been frosted so frequently by increased capitalization, but they are ready for new speculations.” ° * Mr. Dickinson has been in London for five years until recently, ami will return in February, fully equipped with material to push the Black Diamond system to a finish, he says. lie will be accompanied by Hou.! William Kirkby, ex-railroad commissioner! of Ohio, ami now president of the Black j Diamond company.—Vincennes Commercial.

In conversation with Mr. McCoy last Friday he said that the directors had concluded to make the survey, and that instead of asking any further for a promotion fund that the line would be surveyed on the cheapest line possible for the road to be built, hit or ini s any town or city. He has great confidence in the road being Huilt. The line through Southern Indiana will be a double track and would be a great benefit ; to that part of Pike county through which j it will pass. -:- Notice to Teacher* and Pupil*.

What We Lire tor. The following paper was read before the last session of the Pike county farmer * institute by Mrs. W. S. Chappell of Alriers; Opinions as to what is most desiral e in j life are apparently as numerous at i as diverse as the individuals who make up human society. Some live to accumulate wealth, c here to exercise political power. Some liv for fashion and display. Some live to visi and to devour good dinners, others to ente tain and to prepare good dinners. Man? persons have spent all the energies of.life n a vain attempt to discover the North role. And we have always had with us those whose chief happiness is to gather up the news and to diligently scatter it abroad. And there are some (though the following statement applies to women only), to whom there is nothing of so much importance in this world as to keep a clean house—a distressingly clean house. “Cleanliness is next to Godliness,” bat there is danger of overdoing a good thing—danger of making a virtue appear positively hateful. The The Dutch women of Holland are siaid to be the cleanest housewives in the;world, and I suppose that their descendants in Pennsylvania and New York state enjoy the distinction of being the extremely clean women of this country. One of these good dames was sick and hep' physician had told her she could only live a few weeks. She calmly commenced her preparations for the funeral, On the arrival of her three married daughters a systematic and thorough housecleaning was begun. Everything from garret to cellar was scrubbed or dusted or polished to the last degree. When all had been finished to the old lady's satisfaction she said to her sorrowing relatives: “When I am dead I want you to lay ine out in the kitchen so the pall bearers will not muddy the parlor carpet with their feet.” These opiuions as to what is the, best thing in life” are sometimes called our “hobbies," and we nearly all have them. Some of them are very harmless creatures, however. , I am loathe to confess it, but truth compels me, that a great many of us live for the accomplishment of selfish ends. We learned from our catechi.-m long ago that the aim and eud of our creation was “to gloiifv God and enjoy him forever." But as this article is not intended to deal with theology, I will undertake to present a practical view of some of the things which are really worth living for. it is right to heartily enjoy the good things of life—they were given for our use. Even to wear good clothes and to look nice is not sinful so long as we wrong no one in getting them. I cannot agree with those good people who take life with such seriousness that they leave out all the humor and fun there is in it:

“A little nonsense now and then » ’ Is relished by the best of men.” And I have never heard that these “best of men” were made any the worse for it or suffered any evil consequences. It is cer-: tainly better to hide our troubles and disappoint meats behind a good joke or a simple jest thau it is to grow old and sour by dwelling forever upon them. The things that britigus true pleasure as the years go by—the best life has in storeare our privileges and our duties. Let us contemplate some of the privileges we enjoy because we hap(>eu to live in this progressive age. Inventive genius has produced so many conveniences and comforts in the last century that even the poor of our day can afford many things that the nth of a hundred years ago could noj^obtniu. Each generation within that time has contributed something to make life easier and more enjoyable for the succeeding one. It is surprising how inventions and discoveries continue in our own day. and while we may not actually belong to the happy class of inventors, we all enjoy what their fertile brains have contrived. Perhaps we are even more favored than the inventors themselves, for 1 am told that even such a genius as Edison is not without his own peculiar trials. Having given u§ so many wonderful inventions he is often annoyed by unscientific people asking him to do something impossible and perhaps even ridiculous. We derive real enjoyment from the progress the human race is now making. Judging the future from the past we will continue to improve in science, in art, in literature and in inventive genius to the end of time, and it is worth while to live to enjoy what human intellect has produced. It is still our privilege to attain to a higher standard of intelligence and ethics. God has not fixed any limit to our improvement in these. The fulfillment of our duties toward .each other gives us enjoyment that we would never find iu the gratification of selfish desires. The wish to make the whole world better is commendable, but we must not lose sight of the immortal Goethe’s admonition to “Do the duty that lies nearest thee.” Or in other words, ‘‘Love thy neighbor as thyself.” We live to exercise benevolence to thoee who are not so fortunate as we are. The poor, the sick, the blind, the deaf, the imbecile, the insane and even the criminal should receive our kind attention and help. Of course oar state legislature makes provision for all these, but unfortunates belonging to some of these classes are always to be found among our neighbors. It is worth while to give the state insti- i tutions our personal and careful considers- ; tion. We do not know what improvements j might be made that would add very much j to the happiness of the inmates. It seems almost too wonderful to be true j that a child deprived of both sight and bearing could be taufht to speak aloud and to articulate corfeetty. Yet such has been ! accomplished in the person of little Helen ; Keller of Alabama. We learn that a society j

has been organized for the purpose of teaching deaf mutes speech whose members are eagerly searching for those who need their help. We can be helpful to our neighbors as well as to public institutions. With many of us in the rural districts the whole year is a dreary round of drudgery, always the same and almost without recreation. Sociability is a great promoter of cheerfulness and coutcntment so we should encourage its growth. But after all our life work that preseuts the greatest magitude and the one ! lying the nearest our hearts is the training of our children for useful citizenship. There is much to be said on this subject. It is too vast to be dealt with in an article like this. As the poet Tupper says: ‘‘If you have the rearing of children you hafve a fearful pleasure.” We should remember that the principle we teach will live much longer than we' ourselves will. I cannot pass this subject without referring to pur opportunity to cultivate in the young a l love of country, to foster patriotism and to ! inaugurate a study of our governmental institutions. We enjoy the benefits of a free government as was promised in the preamble of the constitution, for we are the posterity that is therein mentioned. 'But we also endure certain evils that were all I unferseen by the framers of that celebrated instrument. Let us indulge in the hope that our posterity may be able to curtail or to circumvent the evils that are now wrought bv professional politicians, bribers j and schemers. Even our school system of Indiana, which we are wont to contemplate with swelling pride, has been degraded to a shocking degree by political bosses. Tl$ qualifications of public officers are no louger ability and fitness, but rather a manifested willingness to engage in political intrigues with the payers that be. It cannot be denied that there is much to endure—to suffer—as well as to enjoy in this life. Defeat and disappointmeuteome to all and are chastening in their effect. So we believe they are sent for good. They reprove our vanity so that we are not led by blind egotism. Every life has its full measure of sorrow and often there comes such a flood of it that everything eise is submerged beneath its waves. All these things we must bear with patience ami even with cheerfulness, and with Longfellow we may say:

“Let our unceasing earnest prayer Be, too, for light, for strength to hear Our portion of the weight anil care That crushes into dumb despair One half the human race.” We live to attain to better things* ourselves—intellectually and spiritually—to serve our day and generation and to make life better and happier for the generation that ’is to succeed us. We live to; ^njoy fully the good things of this world and to exercise earnest faith and hope regarding the good things eternity has in store for us. “O world! so few the years we live* Would that the IIte which thou dot't give Were life indeed! Alas! thy sorrows fall so fast. Our happiest hour is when at last The soul is treed. - Storm at Winslow. ^ The following special from Winslow appeared in the Evansville Courier Wednesday morning: At six o’clock this morning a terrific hail storm vi.-ited this section, followed by a downpour of rain that almost washed the town=*way. Thunder and lightning were accompaniments of the storm. The streets were flooded and crossings washed out. The Patoka river is still rising and old ' settlers think it will reach the mark of 1884, ; Much damage has been done to farms in the ' low lands. The farmers along the bottoms are moving out and bringing their stock. Bakers’ large saw and planing mill is completely submerged ami the lumber in the yards has been staked down to keep it from ' going away. - I Non-Resident Notice, State of Indiana, Pike County: Pike Circuit Court.
