OLDSAUSBM IN MYNE COUNTY THE HOME OF INDIANA'S WAR GOVERNOR, OLIVER PERRY MORTON. r BY M. L. BUNDY Tirst Political Speech by "Old John Test" Power of Steam.

INDIANA FRUIT

The following article from the pen of M. L. Bundy of New Castle, will be read with great interest by the readers of this paper. It was written for the- Indianapolis Journal and is of special interest here: From the year 1S25 to 1831 I lived in the old town of Salisbury, then a considerable village, in Wayne county, where still dwelt many of the prominent families of the early setilers the Mansurs, the Sutherland;,

the Woodses and the Mortons still remained, but the county seat had been removed to Centerville, three miles further west. The great war governor, when first I knew him, was two years old ami lived with his father, who occupied a small frame house, painted yellow, where lie made shoes for his customers. The elder Mansur, who afterward became a prominent citizen of Indianapolis, was the village blacksmith. The site of the town, once the home of these prominent people, and where stood many good houses, has become farm lands, and the exact location sc uncertain that the Historical Society of the county has taken steps toward fixing the true location of the old county scat. All this is preliminary to what I I 1 1 i - 1 . i il . . 1

lnienueu to say aooiu me marvelous increase of our knowledge of: t he power of steam and electricity dur ing mv, lifetime. The first, political speech I ever heard was made by a distinguished srentleman of that day j

who resided in llrookville, commonly called "Old John Test." who was a candidate for Congress in 1S20 and made a speech in Centerville. I was but ten years of age, but I walked over to hear him talk. His main :,ibiect was internal improvements. Bal

timore had even then begun to talk about .the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and naturally he took up and di.3-cusse-i at considerable length tn; subject of railroads and the power of steam for rapid transportation. In the course of his speech he declared that in his opinion it would be possible to transport passengers at a speed of 20 miles an hour. After the speech was over I heard the wise men of his audience talk it over, and they agreed that it was absurd to suppose any such speed could ever be attained. A horse, they said, could, for a short time, travel ten miles an hour, and thev could conceive of nothing more speedy. Some "f the people who criticized 'he wise man may have lived lone: eiv.igh jo see what our first-class roads have accomplished.

The Display at the World's Fair One of the Best at the Exposition.

Speciaf to Palladium: St. Louis, May 23. Indiana was one of the few states that had its exhibit ready on Saturday, April 30 opening day. Indiana is receiving much praise for the display of market varieties of apples, such 'as Baldwin, Greening, Jonathan, Winesap, Grimes, Ben Davis, Rome Beauty, Salome, York Imperial, Spy, King, each. Plates of these varieties are not surpassed in size, color, flavor and keeping qualities by any state or country represented here. Among the native seedlings receiving marked attention are the Indiana Favorite, the Ronk, the Indian, the Prolific Beauty, etc. Indiana's booth is massive in construction painted. ivory white and occupies 1,200 square feet of space. The opening for the State is most propitious for which it was ci'edited with a score of 100 per cent. The committee has sufficient apples to keep the tables full until fruit matures, after

which the supply will have to come j

from the field and orchard, and it is very necessary for growers to be prompt in sending in their superior products. A close survey of the displays of the different states at the Fair shows that Indiana cannot be excelled by any of them in the quali

ties desired in market fruit, and it only remains for the fruit growers to send on their products to the committee at St. Louis to insure a grand victory for our state. The committee will pay all expenses of packing and shipping. For particulates address AV. B. Flick, Lawrence, Ind. The following Wayne county persons have contributed fruit for the exhibit up to this time: D. Dougherty, Richmond, apples; Jesse Henby, Cambridge City, apples; Charles Harms. Richmond, apples; A. Kramer, Cambridge City, apples; Elijah McMahan, Richmond, apples; Elim Osborn, Economy, apples; Walter S. Ratlifif, Richmond, apples; J.

M. Yoss, Richmond, apples; Whiteley & Son, Cambridge City, apples.

BASS LAKE IS

A

FfflE

RESORT

THE C. C. & L. WILL ISSUE A PAMPHLET ABOUT ITS ATTRACTIONS RICHMOND PEOPLE Have Proved the Resort the Best in the State and Many Parties Will Visit It.

W. B. Calloway, general passenger agent of the C. C. & L. road was in the city Saturday morning and in company with a photographer left for Bass Lake to prepare some attractive

views of the lake and its surroundings. Mr. Calloway will issue a small pamphlet to tell about the attractions of the lake as a summer resort and will illustrate it with views. Richmonuites have proven Bass Lake to be a very desirable place to spend the summer and the new road fully appreciates the advantages of the place also. Several people from this city spent a short time there last year and are all loud in its praises. Probably there is no better or more beautiful summer resort in Indiana than

Bass Lake and it is growing in popularity each year. Fine new hotels have been erected and the places are crowded during the summer months. The C. C. & L. runs to Beardstown, near the lake but a spur will be built from the main track down to the lake landing. Several parties of Richmond people have made preparations to spend parts of the hot weather months at this cool and pleasant re

sort and a more thoroughly delight

ful summer resort would be hard to find.
