The great showman P.T.Barntira is like other people in one respect he changes his mind once in awhile. The "Chicago Times" says; It will be remembered that, just afer Mr Cleveland,s election, Mr. Barnum, the big showman, made a great dis play of himself by announcing that he wanted to dispose of his property at once, as it was sure to depreciate 50 per cent under a Democrat ad-

ministration. Mr. Barnum did notjj

sell his property, and he has just had the candor to say that he was wrong regarding the effects of a Democratic admiaistra tion,and that instead of a falling oft',his property has advanced at least 50 per cent in value since Mr.Cleveland's election.

Lamb, who recntly robbed a number of country houses was sent to the penitentiary for one year. Sheriff Hinkle took him down to Jelf last Saturday night. It poured down rain all day last Saturday, and yet the town was"fill ed with country people. Since the pikes were built nothing can keep the people at home on Saturday's, The city had a supply of entertainment's last week. The Earle company, the Teacher s Association Prsf. Bass lecture and other features, were among the attractions.

Reporters for newspapers sometimes blamed for savins:

much." What they do say, as a gen eral thing, is but a mere drop in the bucket, compared with what they are requested to say. Every body with an axe to grind, political or otherwise, every one wiio has an animosityor a grudge to satisfy ; every one who has enemies to puhish or friend to reward, pours their tale into the reporter's ear, and expects him to publis the same. If all the information that finds its way into a printing office, through various sources, should be made public in a newspaper there would be some lively times in many communities. Hoosiers who leave Indiana make a sad mistake. Except in a few peculiar cases, their 'condition is not improved. Is all the .. wide West there is no place that is better than Indiana for the intelligent and industrious farmer. We don't want to induce people at least good people to leave Indiana. In every res pect it is one of the brightest states in the galaxy of the great States of the Union, We are always willing to print letters from ex-Hoosiers which contain real news of interest to their friends at home. Personal intelligence is especially welcome,, but we must draw aline on communications

that only serve to create false impressions of countries and communities that are vastly inferior to our own loved State.

We learn from Henry C. Garner .that a lire originated in the "big woods," on the edge of Monroe county, last Tuesday night, and was the cause of considerable dam

age before quenched by the rain of

Wednesday morning. Mr. Games lost .2,000 rails. Mark Smith anjl Sam Edwards also had a lot of rails burned. A small house on the laud of McGregor fe Vansiekel was clestroyed. Bill Fisher had difficulty

in savins; his dwelling and other

buildings. Several others had the same experience. In, fact, a large number of people fought the lire, all night, and did. not "go home until morning," when the rain came to their rescue. Martinsville Gazette.

Col. Robin Hood expected to give

his celebrated lecture "The Sun Do

Move" at the court honse Thursday eye of last week but for some unavoidable reason he could not make connection.

Since the electric light company moved to their new building the street lights are more brilliant. On the darkest nights it is the same - as bright moonlight an every part of the city. There have been several dark nights recently when the electric lights out-of-doors were not turned on, The only explanation we have heard is, the almanac put those nights down for moon-light. "Hold on,"said the doorkeeper at the opera house as the twain pushed past him, "you can't bothgo in on that; this ticket calls for only one seat." "That's all right, mister ; one cheer's ben big enough to hold both o'f us many a time, hain't it, Lize?" And in a cloud of Lite's best blushes they were gone before he

could sound the recall.

The first flakes of snow that fall bring to mind that Christmas is almost upon us, and that only a few a very few -weeks will intervene between this and the season. And with that thought comes the more serious one- namely, that the

Christmas shopping and gift-making is yet to be done, and that it is 'quite time they should be started. Of course -every one acknowiege th at -the giving of Christmas gifts is a very line thing ; but, alas i it is equally true that it is often more of a tax than a pleasure, not alone as regards expenses, Jmt as a mental strain as well. Who is there who

has not experienced actual mental j bored in the annuals of his ton

throes in wondering what would be the most appropriate and acceptable gift for each all, and who is "there who has not wished from the hot torn

of the heart that it - was ali well
