All Republicans and all persons who are desirous of affiliating with the Republican party and are interested in its success are hereby notified that there will be a grand Mass Meeting at Good’s Opera House in South Bend, Indiana, at 1:30 o’clock sharp upon Thursday, July 31st, 1890. This meeting is called for the purpose of organizing the Republican Central Commitee of St. Joseph County, in conformity with the recent division of voting precincts made by County Commissioners, and of electing a Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer of the Central Committee, as well as attending to other business of great importance. Under the new election law me townships have the following number of voting precincts as lately divided by the County Commissioners: Portage, 30; Penn, W; Harris, 1; German, 1; Warren, 1; Liberty 2; Madison, 3; Clay, 2; Olive, 3; Greene, 1; Lincoln, 2; Center, 1; Union, 2. And in organizing the county central committee it is desired and considered of the highest importance that each voting precinct in the county be fully represented at this meeting. And it is most urgently requested that a large representation be had from each new precinct at this meeting. ,D. B. J. Schafer, Chairman. Wilbert W ard, Secretary. Mrs. Hamlet and her four children were burned to death in Valparaiso the other day. Now’ what do you think of this? Hammond is to have a Baby Cab factory.—Knox Republican. We think Hammond must have a baby factory. If not, what do they want of such an institution.

There was another excursion to Lake Maxinkuckee last Sunday, and the Rochester Sentinel thinks there was altogether too much beer in tho business. Several fights are reported as having occurred as a result of drunkenness, in which one by a bloody butcher, of Huntington, Ind., knocked down and kicked a boy until four ribs were broken. About fifty people from this city were at the huckleberry marsh at Walkerton Sunday and report that they had a very, very lively time there. Several fights added to the interest of the visit and they had the satisfaction of seeing a LaPorte county man, Jap Mann, of Stillwell, thrash several fellows who needed it.—LaPorte Herald. The huckleberry marsh AT Walkerton! Well, row that’s cool. Rochester has three weekly newspapers, two republican and one democratic. There is talk there of trying to get rid of one of the republican papers. It is all bosh to have two political papers of the same complexion in a town like Rochester. The man who established the second republican paper, if the first one amounted to anything, ought to be put out o’ the house. An exchange is of the opinion, and very properly too, that what is wanted to improve a town is grit, push, snap, vim, energy, churches, schools, academies, morality, enterprise, harmony, cordiality, cheap property, advertising, healthy location, talk about it, help to improve it, patronize its merchants, faith, exhibited by good works, honest competition in business, help all public enterprises, elect good men to office, speak well for its public spirited citizens, and be one of them yourself. Always cheer on the men that go in for improvements. And should have added, pay promptly the subscription price of your home paper. Picnic. The Catholic People of Walkerton and vicinity will hold their 'annual picnic at the B. &O. grove, July 29th. A fine dinner will be served from 12 to 2 o’clock p. m. Sack races and other amusing sports will be held on the grounds. The grand gift-drawing will take place on the grounds at four o’clock. Good music will be furnished for the occasion by the Walkerton orchestra. Bowery dance in the afternoon and evening. No pains will be spared by the managers to make this occasion one of the pleasantest of the kind ever known in Walkerton. A cordial invitation is extended to everybody.

There is considerable sickness in this community. Dr. Hamilton attended over 40 different patients last week and so far this week. I suppose the other two physicians were busy also.

They 1 returned to their home yesterday, accompanied by Mother Abshire. ( Obituary.—Ansalom Abshire departed ( this life Sunday, July 21, at 8 o’clock a m., aged 82 years, 1 month and 6 days. Funeral services were held at the Wesley- ( an church in Lal’az, where he had resided i for abrut 2 years. Deceased came to Marshall county’, North township, about -15 years ago and resided here ever since. He k He was descended from old Virginia stock ' and was a descendant of John Randolph of early Virginia fame. Father Abshire was a rare man and no person in his community spoke evil of him or bore him enmity. He was a member of the German Baptist church for 50 years and could repeat the greater part of the book of revelations- For the last two or three years of his life he was blind from a cataract. The cause of his death was dysentery in a very maligaant form, and his great age would not admit of his recovery. At the age of 71 he walked a distance of nearly 30 miles in a single day, and did it as easily as a younger man. The very able funeral discourse was from 2d Timothy, 4th chapter, and 7th and Bth verses, and preached by Rev. Amos Peters. He leaves a widow very feeble and about 8 years younger than himself. Two daughters, Mrs. Mead Logan and Mrs. John Schroeder, and several grandchildren of his daughter, Sarah, wife of Abram Baker, who died several years ago. He also has t several brothersand leisters, some of whom are older than himself. He also leaves an undying memory with his neighbors and associates, the greatest of all achiev, ments | of men—that he was truly an aonest mam ; one of the noblest works of God. Vinedresser.

DIXIE’S FIRST MONEY. How the First Batch of Confederate Treasury Notes Was Made. It took money to carry on the war. The Southern Confederacy started to oppose the invading foes with an empty treasury. So a ‘ promise to pay” had to be resorted to. One of the first things to be done by the treasury of the young nation was to issue legal tender of some kind. The making of Confederate bonds aud notes was a great trial with the young treasury. In the South no engravers could be found and nothing like good bank paper. So arrangements were made to print some bonds in New York. The work was gone about very carefully and every means used to avoid detection. But the bonds were seized, however, before they left Now York. 'These bonds were printed by the American Bank note company, aud when the Federal authorities found this out through a tell-tale employe the Southern Confederacy had to rely upon its own resources to get up bonds and notes. A engraver of cards and posters by the name of Hoyer, a German by’ nationality, lived in Richmond, and he was employed to issue the first notes, which were eight SIOO bills. Oue of these bills would bring considerable now as a relie. A paper waj smuggled through the lines from New York and given tn Hoyer. He had only old and inferior stones for engraving purposes, and with them he made the first Confederate Treasury notes. The stones had previously been used to engrave placards. Os course they were faulty and full of errors, and under any other circumstanees would have been thrown away, but some kind of legal tender had to be secured at once and the rude notes were accepted. When the Secretary read the proofs he ordered them printed, indorsing on the margin of the proof the following: “When the money changers become familiar with these incoming bills it will be as difficult to pass a counterfeit as if they had been engraved on steel —perhaps more so.” The German engraver used what was an old-fashioned press even in that day, and the bills were printed bv hand, a very slow and tedious process. These rude, uncouth bills found no buyers, but were accepted in good faith by loyal Southern hearts. They were pledges of a brave, fearless people, and by that people were accepted as such. They were not worth much upon their face, but thousands of men died to give them value, and three times as many died to make them worthless. Soon the country was Hooded with Confederate bills. The number circulated depended on how fast the treasury could issue them. Bills o! small denominations soon 'vent out of style and nothing under SIOO left the 'Treasurer's hand, while SSOO and sl,000 bills were as numerous as $A bills ere to-dav.

Os course the price of everything went up. and it was a men- bagatelle to pay §2OO for a yard of tlanaeL or §3OO for a pound of coffee, or §l,ow for a pair of boots, or §IO,OOO for a horse. Worthless as were these “promises to pay,” they cost more than any tender ever issued by a nation on earth. ■ Atlanta Journal. “ I was for manv years a perfect martyr to Headache and Dyspepsia, and s >metimes thought, it would kill me.
