The new settlement has just gotten the postoffice and Arthur Herriman has just been commission cd the first postmaster. ' The biggest flood in the history o the Ohio valley seems a certainty and a great portion of southern Indiana is under water. It seems probable that the great flood of 1884 will 'be exceeded and the damage to property will reach several hundred thousand dollars." The cold weather is causing much suffering in the flooded districts. 1 . 1 Increasing interest and attendance marks the progress of the mission at the Episcopal church. The choir will sing an anthem tonight, and Rev. Howard will preach on "The Plutocrat and the Pauper, in this world and the . next." The question to be answered will be "Is there. a literal Hell and for whom?' Everybody is heartily invited. When you read on the can "Compound Apple Jelly, Raspbtrry Flavor" where was formerly "Raspberry Jam" will the product seem quite as toothsome? And will "Vermont sirup, made from choicest maple and cane sugar . mixture," be av sweet to the taste as when it was called "Vermont I'Maple' ' Sirup"? Imagination r does strange things sometimes. '-'Over 23,000 Indiana 'women earned their living last year by work in factories, launderies, department stores and offices. A good many thousand more earned theirs by dofng cooking, sewing, washing, ironing, scrubbing, mending and general "waiting on the "old man" and the children; and most of them worked harder, too, and with smaller financial returns. Among the many measures that wil come up for consideration at the next state asembly are the bills for a pure food law; to give' the school teachers more wages and eirtjon ot county superintendents by popular vote. The township trustees will have s;veral bill, the most important of which wi'l be to allow them selves to be re-elected and to get more pay. The National Wholesale Grocers' Association, havingi sent out a circular virtually bidding defiance to the pure food law, Secretary Wilson re joins that if any merchant or manu facturer violates its provisions he ?aj be asurcd of a chance to tetft it in th-? courts." The object'of the. circular.' of course, to im'.uce the re ail groc ers to take the old stock of the wholesalers.

Plymouth, x ? Office Phone CO. I Hoosiers in Politics. With Hoosiers at the hv-ad of the aat.onal committees of both the leading political parties, and with a presidential candidate occupying preferred position in the jockeying for 1908, Indiana ibds fair to retain her place in' the center of the political stage. Indiana has been representei in either first or second place on one of the national tickets nearly every time for forty years. The Hoosier takis to politics as naturally as a duck tikes tdj water and politics is usually the better for it. We can not say, however: im view of the happenings at French Lick that we are particularly proud of the gentleman who for the time being is at the head of the national Democratic organization. He lacks a good deal, of being representative of the better element in his phrty. Harry S. New is a straightforward, plain-spoken, courageous, clean and capable young man, with opinions of his own which i.vnot afraid to' express and he is fully, up even to the very responsible position t owhich he has been elevated, Mr. CortelyCni, being a "civil service reformer," hung on to the chairmanship with that persistent clinch which always characterized one of these gentlemen in their attachment to a iobbut it is pleasing to note that he has concluded to let Captain New carry the honors of the position for I Jtimie.Marion Chronicle.'

He said h came down town expecting the stores to be closed in honor of the event, but when lie went home the neighbors had not even brought in any good things to eat or made any demonstration whatever in honor oi the event. He was very much surprised at this until he happened to think that probably everybody had forgotten -the date of the marriage thirty years ago.

His life is trembling in the balance but he is still hopeful and everybody will be glad if a change for the better comes within a few hours. Favor Change in Law. At a meeting of the township trustees of Clinton county, constituting the county board of education, the members adopted a reesolution favoring the enaotment of a law by the legislature placing the school books in the hands of the dealers instead of the trustees handling them, thus relieving the latter of the responsibility of keeping accounts with the book houses.
