Wheat Sells for $1.25 in Crawfordsville.

Ono man in Montgomery county has worked a scheme to get $1.25 per bushel for his wheat. Lost fall a merchant there succeeded in getting one of his cusooers to vote the Demtocratic ticket, using as an argument tha wheat would bring $1.25 per bushel if Cleveland were elected. The man ran a bill with the merchant who also bought grain. Last week the farmer brought some wheat to the merchant and received but 45 cents per bushel. He then went in and settled his bill by forcing the merchant to allow him the $1.25 per bushel on his promise made last fall Tims the bill was paid, and the merchant will never again make wild promises to get votes.
