The write-up of ouc manufacturing interests last week was purely a Courier enterprise. Many copies of the paper were sent abroad, and not one-tenth of the demand could be supplied. The 'Courier's" subscription for the new year will be larger than ever before. But a few are dropping their names, while many new names are being added. The Courier subscribers always were noted for their staying qualities. Officers Owens and Reeves went down to McCalia's plaining mill,

The1 church is a grand institution

and would do much godd if it did not make one true christian. The habit of church going is a good one. -Better go to church if only to show off your good clothes' than to stay away. Better go eveil if jou have poor clothes and stand the sneers of the elegant occupants of the pews, than stay away. Teach your children the habit of going to church, even il they never join the church. But if they do desire to become a member see that they are old enough to realize the importance of thestep they are taking.. Accepting mere babies into the church as full members may apprqpriately be termed "child's play." I think a great deal of the church as an instw tution'if its objects are abused and used for ungodly purposes. I have spoken of the many hypocrites in the church. I would keep them there, and if I were a pulpit preacher 1 would keep hammering away at them until it became so hot that they would truly repent or, if there was 10 repentance in them, they would be ashamed' to class themselves with Christian people. Instead of continually hammering away at the saloons, the Catholic, the jews, and the vices o people outside of the church, I would work most to purify indoors of the church. 1 would make these notorious men and women, whose assumed title of christians puts a broad grin on the face of the community take a back seat, as it were; t woiilct put a stop to the custom of the church of today of putting them in the offices, committees, leaders' at entertainments, and in other wars setting them up as leaders. Go through

i-ail the churches and see how many

of the leaders -men or women you would trust Tvith a loan of $25, with nothing but their word for security. How many of them would you allow to run a bill at your store? How many of them would you go to if you deeded advice and consolation from whom you had confidence in as a christian. But if I were a preacher in one of the big churches I would be "fired" on short notice, as many have been' who have dared to talk out and tread on the toes of those who paicf them. Preachers who are in business simply for the salary there is5 in' it and who leave when some" other church offers them a higher salary and say they have been "called," are too numerous, and until they have been supplanted by fearless, true servants of God, the reforms I sgfcak of can never be brought about. - It has been suggested that the women should be given full control of the churches; Women are better workers in the church than men, and there are more true christian women than men; but there are many bad women in the church who posef as christians,' while,' in

truth, the are the' Vilest of slanderers and scandal mongers, whose venemous tongues have blackened the reputations" of young women, and caused heart aches in many homes. And my chief witnesses to sustain this' assertion would be women.

THE LOCAL DEMOCRACY CELEBRATE THE 0CCAS10 N IN A FITTING MANNER.

SPEECH ES, II AN Ub U AXES AN D GOOD THINGS TO EAT.

For several j'ears it has been the custom for our Democracy to celobrate January 8th as St. Jackson's Day,and while these fe. t'vities have at all times been on a grand scale,

none of them ever proved the equal of the one given last Tuesday evening, at the home of Hon. C. Ii. Worrall. More than a hundred in vitations had been isseucl to leading Democrats of the county and nearly all of them were answered in person. Five of the college pro fessors were present and took a prominent part in the proceedings of the evening. Hon. G. R. Worrall

acted as muster Of ceremonies- -and-

Hon R. Y. Miers acted as toastmaster. The following program was given amidst enthusiasm and a general love feast of Democracy : Ben f, Hall, "The Mossbacks?" J. W. Cravens, "The Kids;" Dr. 1L H. Dabney, "Corruption in Politico ;" Dn J. E. Harris, "G. D. Frenuce;" Richard Butcher, "Van Buren Democracy;" Peter Bowman, "Ohio Democracy," Dr. St. C. G. VonJageman, "German Democracy ;"J. R. Brill, "Grover, or Hickory the Second;" Dr. Gustaf Karsten, "The French Republic;" Dillon Talbott, "Democratic Holdovers;" Dr.T. C. YanNuys, "Education and Democracy:" James S. Williams, "Greetf Smith Fred Mathews, "Richland Democracy;" and John K. Anderson, "Andrew Jackson." Letters of regret were read from Dr. D. S. Jordan, of the University ?H. J. Feltus, of the' Courikk ; M. M Wingfieldf of Ellettsville; John Brogan, of Haf rodsbuSg, and several others; After these exercises the "Tariff Reform and Anti-Monoply Club" was organized by Hon.- R. W Miers, President; Dr. R. H. Dahneys VicePresident; lion. 0. R. Worrall,Secretary; Dr T. C. YanNuysf John W. Crave hs, L.D. Rogers and Peter Bowman executive committee.J The President will appoint a vice-president from each township, and thus the work for tariff reform .will go bravely on.The meeting was supplied with the good things of life in the way of the choicest eatables. It was a late hour when the jolly crowd departed, and it was with the feeling that it was good to have been there that the participants left the cosy rooms and sought their several homes.

The musical feast of the year will be given at the College Chapel on the 18th of Jan. No one who has music in his soul should miss this rare treat. The club is one of the best in the country and will give an entertainment of the highest order. It is probable that the present leg

islature will change some of the judicial circuits. If so, Brown and

Monroe counties' will be made one

circuit, 'and Lawrence and Jackson

another. This would put Judge

Pearson in the Lawrence circuit,

and leave a vacancy in Brown and'
