FIVE PER CENT FARM LOANS.

One Per Cent Commission. W. B. Austin, Rensselaer, has a special fund to loan at 6 percent in terest and one per cent commission. No delay.

Blow at Rural Saloons.

Tne Grant county farmers’ institute at its 868sion just adjourned, adopted resolutions providing for the introduc tion of a bill at the next session of the legislature, which; if made a law, would put the saloons at Parr, Fair Oaks, Kniman and in similar communities, out of commission. It asks for an amendment to the statutes that will prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors in all mnn.cipayties except those having established police regulations. The resolution calls for the placing of the name of the vender, and the kind and quantity of the liquor sold in bottle, jug or cask, to be placed on a label to be pasted on tjie outside of Che receptacle in which it is sold, and that all kinds of patent medicines shall bear a label showing the percentage of alcohol contained therein. The resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote of the 300 farmers at tending the institute, and is the cause of much discussion.

Answers for the Anxious.

Gloriarina B. of Parr writes: “I have a young gentleman caller who is always trying to kiss me. How can I dissuade him?” You should dissuade hitn with a hat pin or an ax, Glorianna, but as an all around anti-kiss argument there is nothing so dissuading and at the same time painless as a large Bermuda onion. You should eat one or two or three before the kissing bug flies around. “Musician,” of Pleasant Ridge, wants to know how to discover whether her piano keys are celluloid or ivory. Touch them carefully with a lighted match. If they are celluloid you should then call in the Are department. “Housewife” of Parr asks: “How can I keep roaches out of lard?” Place the butter near by. They prefer it. Lucy F., of McCoysburg, says: “My hair brush shows a good many falling hairs every day. How can I stop them?” Soak the brush in glue over night. “Rube.” It certainly was inhospitable of your friend, whom 'you were visiting, to refuse to allow y u to use his tooth brush. However we should cultivate the sweetest of disposition which will enable us to overlook-such traits in others. “Worried” of Aix: The quickest way to remove indelible ink from a carpet is muriatic acid on the spot. An/ carpenter can mend the hole it will make in the floor.

The Judgeship Matter.

It is reported that Harry Kurrie, of Rensselaer, will be a candidate for judge of the circuit court. We have invest igated the matter and find that the report is premature. While there is a possibi’ity that Mr. Kurrie may decide to be a candidate he has not yet made up his mind to do so. Mr. Wilson, who has been mentioned as a probable candidate, it is stated, has decided not to make the race. So far the only persons who have expressed themselves as candidates are Wm. Cummings,, of Newton county, andOharles Hanley, of Jasper. Tne Journal would much prefer to see but one candidate in the field from this county and to see him receive the solid vote of the delegates, which would mean his nomination, but as to who that candidate should be it is not prepared to say. Either Mr. Hanley or Mr. Kurrie would make an acceptable judge and the Journal would take pleasure in supporting either of the gentlemen, should he receive the nomination.

Annual Installation.

Last Monday the W. R. 0. held their annual installation. Mrs. Elizabeth Haus, as installing officer, occupied the chair. Mrs. Lou Childers acted as conductress. ’ The following are the new officers: Belle Blue, president; Mary Bates, S. V.; Mary Irwin, J.

Our Man About Town.

A certain woman had been suffering for weeks with a terrifflo case. -of toothache. She stood it as long as she could and then went to the dentist. As soon as she got there the tooth stopped aohing and she got it filled. We thought those things never occurred except in books. *.* A woman in this town went to an afternoon reception and forgot to greet the hostess when she arrived and also forgot the usual exchange of courtesies when she got ready to leave. As a consequence the hostess did not know whether she came and wondered why she did not receive any regrets. Since that has occurred a good many of the men expect to go to receptions also, and s ip in without being found out by the hostess, so invitations are immaterialA woman in this town had an after noon reception where only ladies are admitted and where none care to st tend, and yet all are mad if not invited. The house was, thoroughly cleaned for the event, but a few days afterwards she found a cob web suspended from the dining room ceiling, and she was so chagrined that she did not sleep for three nights. A woman was out making calls, and made a speech that was very appropriate. It was such a good talk that people remarked upon it, since in making calls nothing but pure idiocy is expected to be indulged in. Afterwards some of the women called on each other to compnrs notes a.id found she had called on. nine and made the same speech at each place. * «

A woman whose children do not turn out well hardly has any sympathy among her ne'ghbors. It is a queer world, but it is the way of the world. We heard of a woman the other day whose children are not doing just as they should. Everybody knows that they are not doing the best in the world. An old acquaintance of the family said, “Well, the devil is getting even with them. The mother used to be always stirring up little neighborhood quarrels when she Was a girl, and now she is getting her pay.” *.» One of the little school boys has to be helped with his coat every time he starts home. He told his teacher the other day that he had no trouble after he got one arm in the sleeve. He said, “When 1 get one arm into the sleeve I hardly eyer have any trouble with the other arm,” and is that not pretty good philosophy? *•* The other day in a barber shop a customer offered one of the barbers a dollar if he did not speak while he was being shaved. The barber won the bet, and yet the customer refused to pay. We hold that the barber earned the dollar. An acquaintance of ours hates a certain man so intensely that he told ns the other day that he would not attend his funeral when he died. V One of our friends has almost caused a scandal by being so attentive to his wife. It is so unusual that people are talking about it. *•* Probably every woman in this town sets aside Sunday afternoqp to attend to all her social correspondence.

A Profitable Investment.

“I was troubled for about seven years with my stomach and in bed half my time.” says E. Demick, Somerville, Ind. “I spent about *I,OOO and never could get anything to help me until , I tried Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I have taken a few bottles and am entirely well.” You don’t live by what you eat, but what yon digest and assimilate. If your stomach doesn’t digest your food you are really starving. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure does the stomach's work by digesting the food. You don’t have to diet. Eat all you. want. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure cures all stomach troubles. A. F. Long.

» Discusses 1 Sundry i and 1 Other Matters.

After two weeks vacation, teachers and pupils are back with renewed interest and enthusiasm. Miss Lassie Bates has accepted the position as teacher of second and third grades made vacant by the resignation of Mrs Addie Duvall, nee Chilcote. Oscar Oglesby, of Monon, took up work in the Sophomore class, Monday. The state geologist is seeking information concerning the mineral springs and artesean wells-of this county. Prof. Hiatt is making the observations for him. The literary exercises of the high school this year are proving very interesting and beneficial. The literary society meets every two weeks. At one meeting regular literary exercises are given, and at the next is the Senate. This Senate is carried on aft,er the manner of the United States Senate. The pupils of the High School have assumed the names of the senators from the states. Bills are Introduced, discussed and voted upon, elections held, committees appointed and nil senatorial business carried on, . s in U. 8. senate In this manner, the pupils become familiar with parliamentary rules; they acquire an interest in the labors of congress The newspapers are closely scanned that the doings of congress may be noted. It may be of interest to know that at the last meeting of the Senate the Nicarauguan canal bill was defeated by a vote of 47 to 3a. The next meeting will be held Friday P. M., January 17th, 2:45 to 4:00.

Constipation and health never go together. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers promote easy action of the bowels without distress. “I have been troubled with costiveness nine years,” says J. O. Greene, Depauw, Ind. “I have tried many remedies but Little Early Risers give best results ” A. F. Long.

At the home of the officiating clergyman, Elder J. L. Brady, yesterday morning at nine o’clock, the marriage of Wm. R. Foster, son of Abner Foster, and Miss Mabie McDonald, daughter of James McDonald, all of McOoysburg, took place. The bride and groom are a popular young McOoysburg couple and their marriage was a complete surprise to their many friends. It is understood that the bride’s parents opposed the marriage and had forbid their daughter receiving the attentions of young Foster and did not know of the marriage until after it occurred. Miss McDonald came to Ronsselaer on the milk train, while Mr. Foster drove here and the wedding soon followed in the presence of the groom’s parents. After the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Foster returned to MoCoysburg, where they will make their home on the farm of the groom’s father.

We Hope Not.

Winamac Democrat-Journal. It is stated that the purchase of the Eel River road by the Vandalia has struck a stunning blow to the proposed Toledo & Chicago Transfer line. Large subsidies have been voted In nearly all of the townships between Rensselaer and Ligonier to help build this road, which was to have been a fast freight and passenger line {between St. Louis and Toledo, but now that Vandalia has acquired a similar route It has practically blocked the other road.
