A jury in the circuit court of this county last week sentenced David Fredericks to the state prison three years for stealing five pounds of goose feathers from F. B. Fonts.

The forty first annual meeting of the Indiana state teachers* association will be held in Plymouth Church Indianapolis Dec. 26, 27, 28, 1894. The ablest educators of the state will attend this meeting and much that is of interest to the profession will be said and done. Reduced rates to all teachers attending’ will be given. Charley Platt commenced Wednesday on the Main street sewer and from the progress he is making the job will soon be completed. This is a much needed impromement, for the surplus water that collects north of the railroad always kept that part of the road soft and miry in a wet time.

We hope the coming legislature will amend the road law in such a way as to prevent the plowing and grading of the road bed after the Ist day of September. Fall grading is money and time lost, and bad roads all winter. It is proposed to introduce a bill in the coming legislature limiting the number of saloons in the state to one for every 1,000 inhabitants. Some fellows there are we know, who would much prefer to have 1,000 saloons for one inhabitant.

The Nowels Milling Co. will pay highest market price for all kinds of grain and hay. Take your grain to them at the mill near depot.
