Dear Republican. —The week pens favorably for farmers and usiness generally. o ur werhants report Monday of this week ne of the busiest days they have ad in a long time. School closed last Friday with picnic at the fair grounds, 'here were baskets enough teken ut apparently, to feed a regiment, ut the children both the young ne’s and those of a larger growth lanaged to get away with the renter part of the many good lings. Star and prize presentaions and singing constituted the rder of exercises. Quite an amount has been subcribed to paint the M. E. church. good move in the right direcio ’. Dan Coleman, a youth not a noether unknown to fame, was ares ted last Saturday" morning hr ending a billet of wood through he window of a certain house on ) .io street, on the night before. . must have been a case of “emoional insanity”. Daniel is rather n impulsive youth, too impulsive o run at large. A force of seventy men in the itnpioy of the “Barb Wire Fence Jo., are at work fencing in the rack of the P. C. & St. L. It. R.

I will take some money to pay he bill by the time they reach the :as ern terminus at Pittsburg, r'enna., at two hundred dollars a nile. They put up about five oiies a day. They have their own >ars and board and lodge their own imployees. Mrs. J. S. Irwin and Mrs. 0. <Y. Church got into the carriage >f the former lady’s and started to he fair ground last Friday. They lad gone but a short distance yhen some part of the harness beiqine unfastened frightening the porse which became unmanageble. turning sharply around he overtimed the carriage at the steep >ank near the bridge, Both lalies (Mrs. Church especially)were lonsiclerably bruised. Their essape from death or serious injury seems almost miraculous. The lorse rau into a wire fence and revived some ugly scratches but is lot greatly damaged. The cnr*iage (a new one) is a wreck. Vlrs. Irwin says everything is mined but tli9 whip. She brought iliat home intact* Miss Rene Bransham of Indianipolis is visiting her friend Miss Jlara Wells. Mrs. C.. H. Price is visiting Friends and relatives in this vieinity. Mrs. J. K. Shaw who lias been visiting her sister Mrs. S. C. Maxwell and Miss Anna Parker and ler brother Robert Parker (and other friends) will leave this week for her new home in Duluth where we hope she may find health, wealth and happiness. Our candidate for Senator Dr.S. 3. Maxwell certainly deserves the distinction. He is a good Repubican, a good temperance ndan, a good looking man, and a good man generally!. •

| Of the other fcandidates from ' this part of the country no better men can be found for the. offices which they seek than W. B. Price, Sen., and J. F. Irwin. They are both good men and have filled responsible positions with credit to themselves and the great political party to which they belong.. Mr. Hensler and Mr. Powell also from this township need no words of ours to commend them to the good graces of the people of this county. Mr. Powell has filled his position as Sheriff in an able and exceptable manner and ought to be re-elected. “Death lores a shining mark”. This quotation was perhaps never more fully verified than in the death of Mrs. Frank Batterton which occurred on Friday evening, May 19th, at her home in Greensbuig, Ind. She was born and raised in this place, her father, Mr. Lycurgus Bawles being, on* 1 of the early settlers. She was but a little past her twentieth birthday. Young, accomplished and beloved, surrounded by everything that makes life desirable, her death does indeed seem to be one of the hscrutable mysteries of P rovidence. “Blind unbelief is sure to err Ami scan His works in vain Ged is his own intepreter /And he will mnke It plain.”
