An old' and respected citiEen severely criticises the Decoration Day arrangements, and, it seems that he has just cause for com plaint as we have heard the same kind of talk a number of times in years gone by. He puts what he has to say in the form of a communication which is a follows : I see that the same old crowd has met and appointed themselves and their sisters and their cousins and their aunts to take charge of the Decoration Day proceedings. Many of our citizens wonder who gave these people the sole right to pose before the jpublic as champions of the soldiers and shed hypocritical tears over the dead. -No doubt it pays a number of them who are standing candidates and political hacks; and some of them sniffed the smoke of battle from afar, in other words, around their fire-sides while the soldiers now dead and living where at the front. It pays these politicians to keep alive the memories of the war, solely for the purpose of making political capital.

ELECTION NEXT MONDAY, JUNE 3rd.

DEMOCRATS MUST BE ON THEIR GUARD.

The Democrats have seven of the twelve trustees and thib majority is sufficient to re-elect Sup1t. Craven. Some of the Republicans, however, are boasting that they can purchase a Democratic trustee and thus elect a Republican to the office of County Superintendent. Sup't. Craven will have no opposition in Democratic ranks, and only by the use of wholesale corruption will there be any chance for a Republican. The Democrats must stand to their colors on that day and see that they have their honqst dues. Let it be known that any Democratic trustee who wavers in his duty will suffer the verdict of the people that he has been corrupted, and any Republican candidate who attempts such a scheme will receive deserted punishment. We do not believe that any trustee can be thus influenced and yet it. is the open boast of some of the Republican politicians that such is the case. It remains to be seen what action idll be taken. Sup't. Craven has been faithful

j in the discharge of his duties, and

arrangements

as madCr were an insult to the Democratic men and wo

men or ine city, nos one

orwhom were placed on any of the it 8peaks il for him that he has Committee. Read the list as print- n OI)DOsition in nis own partv. He

Wicks was requested to beg money ;

to help pay the expenses of the

celebration. There are a number of the best citizens of the town who are Democrats and who were sol

diers. None of them were recogniz

ed by the Republican crowd that secretly called a meeting last Wed

nesday night, and appointed themselves to run the affair. Nor were

any of their wives or daughters

r . IRhorer, Democratic soldiers. The whole!

thing was an outrage, an insult, snd

a disgrace to the town. Decoration

Day should be a day when all can join in the solemn ceremonies of paying tribute to the honored dead, but as it has been run here of late, it is being prostituted for personal gain, by nnscrupleous Republican politicians.

day will be an indorsement of his

official acts, and there should be no serious contest in bringing about this desired result.

hauling; a load in a narrow tired wagon of more than twenty hundred pounds, or in a broad tired wagon of more than twenty-five hundred pounds, and any person Violating the provisions of the act shall be fined not lees than twentyfive or m ore th an fifty doll ars for each load so hauled."

It was thought that the Eilettsville Postmaster was settled by the appointment of Simp Sharp, but it seems that Stephenson who was Postmaster several years ago,s still making a desperate fight for the place. Sharp's friends In Bloomington were rushing around last week with a petition to make the appointment stick, and it was signed by all the leading politicians here and many others. It is said that the

President is in favor of Sharp, and he will no doubt soon receive his commission. In tin mean-time Mr. Wingfield holds the fort, C. Tourner has severed his connection with "The Corner" and wishes to notify fiienstomers that "he can berlbnnd at J. P. Tourner & Co., West Sidc.One
