suggests an exchange, have your flues inspected before you put your stoves up. By aa examination of the cause of fires, you will find that about nine of every ten originated from defective flues. A half hour's work now may save your home. The man who went out to milk and sat down on a boulder in the middle of the pasture and waited
for the cow to come and back up to him, was the eldest brother of the man who kept store and did not ad-
vertise,because he reasoned that the purchasing public would back up to his place when it wanted something. The Courier office was kindly remembered by exhibitors at the late fair : From Miss Ida Koons we received the premium loaf of yeast bread; from Mrs. Dr. Tourner a sample of her premium catsup, from A. Ketcham a hugh squash and apples, and from Jonathan Worrall some of the finest apples grown by anyone in this county. When a man come into the office and planks down the cash and says "send me your paper for one year," that means business. When one says, "I want your paper but I haven't the money now," that's all right. When he takes it takes it out of the postoffice for several months and sends it back "refused," that's meanness. When a man borrows his neighbor's paper to read every week, that's cheek. - Ex. On circus night some fool-hardy scamp went through the cellar of the Postoffice and then up into the room to seek what he might find of value to carry away. He got a few copper pennies for his pains. The safe where stamps and other valu
ables are kept was untouched,
which shows that the rascal was a
movice in the business. The money
of the Poatoffice is kept in the Bank, and a man would be a fool to steal
stamps, which is about the only
thing of value that could be found about the office.

Last Sunday night, at the Christian Church, interesting-baptismal services were held. Those who were immersed were Misses Ada Hinds, Alice Spencer, Flora Spencer, and Mr. Win.. Andrews, The new pastor, Rev, W. F. Boss, is a splendid pulpit orator and an energetic young man, who is filling the church at every service. Next Sunday night ho will begin a series Oi meetings to be conLinued nightly as long as they bear fruit.. The salary of the evv. W, RT Halstead, of the College Avenue M. E. Church, has been raised from $1,200 to $1,400: This a worthy recognition of a valuable pastor. It is said that Mr. Halstead recently

... The Rev. L. F. Cole, who is here

Terre Haute to officiate at a funeral
service, Wednesday. He will soon
I go to Chicago to purchase glass for
the church windows. Mr. Cole has
had large experience in building churches, and is now giving oar town a building of which we will all be proud. The very impressive confirmation services of the Catholic Church were held at St. Charles Church, in this city, last Sunday morning, and the capacity of that handsome edifice was tested to its utmost. Bishop Chatard, of Vincennes officiated, with Father Bogemanfof thls parish, as assistant. The Bishop preached a highly instructive 'and comprehensive sermon which was- calculated to prepare the minds of "those for the important step they were about to take. Bishop Ohatard is a man of commanding presence, fully in keeping with his holy calling. He is also a very powerful and impressive speaker. The choir, with Miss Celia Bogeman as soprano, gave a pleasing rendition of the difficult music. The names of the members of the confirmation class were: Mrs. Jno. G. Dolan, Mrs. Annie Kerr, Misses Lucy Farrell,Mary Kerr.,Mary Carr, Sarah Carr, Alice Lyons, Messrs, Jonathan Nicholson, James CuUen, Walter "Burke, Edward Burke, John McCa.be, Jas. Connelly, Joseph Kelly Phillip Carr, Frank Droll. George Droll.
Clint Worrall closed the season here with Wallace's circus last Friday and on the following Monday he and his wife left for Brunswick, Georgia, where they will spend the winter. John Worrall, who is in
poor health, went with them. They
also took their handsome team of black horses and George Atkinson, a colored man, to attend to them. Clint is a courteous young fellow, and a thorough scholar - being a
graduate of the University and is
noted for his big-heartedness.
Edward Bullard, an old and wellknown citizen, who was connected
with the McCalla planning mill, died last Tuesday morning of reheu-
matism of the heart. He had been
suffering but a short time, and Dr.
Weir was with him the night before he died, and at the time of his death. A noted characteristic of the deceased was his affection for children and they would romp and play with him as if he were one of their number. He was always of a jovial disposition, and on good terms with everybody. The Wallace & Co, show was the biggest and best that has been here for a long time. The street parade was grand, and a surprise to everybody. Everything looked as fresh and bright as if they had just taken the road, instead of it being the end of the season. The numerous beautiful thoroughbred horses were greatly admired. The balloon ascension and parachute leap was a grand success and thrilling to look upon. Mr. Willis Cobb, the press manager, is a gentleman after a newspaper man's own heart. There is not a better man in his line in the profession, and the fraternity everywhere always has a hearty Godspeed for him.
Lewis F. Dillon, of Marion, Ind., died Monday, of typhoid fever. He was a son-in-law of W. R. Craven. J. W. and Miss Jennie Craven attended the funeral Wednesday. The following people have recently committed matrimony : John F. Sanders to Sarah A. Patton ; Geo. Laforce to Almeda Asbell; Frank J. Pott to Leva Cornwell; A. B. Richardson, to Eliza J. Richardson. Robert Taylot, attorney of Bloomgeld, Ind., Mrs. Mattie Halstead of Bloomington, Ind., Mrs. Elouise Wharton of Indianapolis, nephew and nieces of Mrs. Lucy J. Mason of Nashville, including also Miss Elsie Mason, grand daughter, are visiting her this week. --Nashville Democrat.
As John Skirvin was on his way home out the East pike last Friday night, two men way-laid him and threatened to present him with a dose of old lead if he didn't at once proceed to bring forth his valuables. John gave up 40 cents, all he had, and was allowed to go on his way to the bosom of his family. On last Sunday some malicious boys climbed to the top of the steeple of the new Episcopal Church and badly mutilated the cross by cutting letters and obscene charaters on it. The perpetrators of such an outrageous piece of vandalism should be discovered, and severely punished. Postmaster McPheeters and his employes were considerably startled last Wednesday by a report which shook the room from "center to circumferance," and the first impression was that some anarchists were attempting to blow up the building. An examination showed that some soot had accumulated in a flue and became damp by the recent rain, when ignited by the fire from the stove, went off with a report like a young canon. By the way, the new

Quite a large crowd of friends were present to witness the ceremony and extend congratulations, as the bride was one of the most popular young ladies of the town. She lookhandsome, and "every inch a bride" in a lovely dress of lavender Henrietta, with pearls, pasamentrie and flowers. The groom was dressed in conventional black. A reception followed the ceremony, and then the Doctor and his bride took the afternoon express South for Louisville, from whence they went to their future home in West Virginia. The following presents were received: Picture, Mrs. J. E. Steele; picture, Emma Kastenbader ; paper holder, W. S.
