ELLETTSYILLE. Last week we mentioned the serious condition of A Hie Wickens, one of the Dynamite victims, and now it has become incumbent on us to chronicle the sad news of his death, which occurred at 1 o'clock yesterday morning; A few days previous his medical attendant succeeded in getting a piece of metal out of the wound at the back of his head, bat his condition did not imS rove, and so yesterday the fourth eath from the terrible explosion in April occurred. A month ago the unfortunate boy was aide to be about, and there were hopes that he would wholly r-cover. He was about 13 years old, and a remarkable bright boy of splendid habits. v The entertainment given at this place by the Amateur club of Gosport was very well attended, the depot being two thirds full The entertainment was very fair, as the frequent applanse of the audience would indicate they were appreciating the concert. The Peak Sister was indeed unique, and sure enough an opera burlesque. The manner in whicn Mrs. Lill, better known at this place as Miss Gray, once a teacher in our public school, managed the sisters was commendable and of itself a pretty good entertainment. As we have not room to individualize, considering that it was home talent, acquitted itself creditably. F. R. Worley has completed his fishpond and a few days ago received a handsome water fountain which he will place in position and from which the pond will be fed. Mr. V. has the best fish pond in the state, as well as the completest and handsomest residence in southern Indiana. A good crowd assembled t the wigwam to listen to a speech from the Hon. John L. Griffith, of Indianapolis. The meeting was called to order and the speaker introduced by Cap G. K. Perry. Mr. Griffith at once stepped forward and began a speech, of which not many words had been spoken till every one felt satisfied that the speaker was one much above the average. Bis presentation of facts was 0 clear, so numerous, so well selected, and so

correctly and beautifully arranged, and the argument produced so logical, so invincible, and yet so interesting, that the audience was held spellbound throughout the entire speech. It was a masterly oration and it would be impossible to do it justice without it could be given entire, which our space forbide as well as the lack of having a report taken. Miss Belle Braxtan, of New Albany, is now in this place working up the Union Square Library plan, which should be encouraged by our people By this plan we are enabled to have access to a splendid library for a very nominal sum. A community is usually measured by the amount and character of the reading matter that it takes. Mose Hannah has his broom factory at this place in full blast. Lafe Mayfield is the proud father of a boy. A fine boy is reported at Ab Howard's. Uncle Harry Constable has bought the Dr. John Harris property and removed thereto. Last week S. P. Thompson, W. E. Wood, John Reed, and others, attended a stock sale at Greencastle and bought , some fine yearlings, male and female, raging in price from $75 to $300. This is a move in the right direction. D. S.Johnson has removed to his farm. Last Sunday morning a nine pound girl baby was bora to the wife of J. R. Harris. . -The family of Fred Benzil went to Bedford last week to visit friends. J. Bots Wingfield has been in town for a few days visiting relatives.

HARRODSBURG. J. D. Urmey went to Chicago last Tuesday to spend a week. Miss Ida Urmey was visiting friends at Bedford this week. Charley Carr goes to Bedford two or three times a week. Why Charlie? On last Saturday night the Democracy of Clear Creek township advertised to have a speaking by R. W. Miers and also to organize a Cleveland and Jlendrieks club. Bob came, the speaking was held, and the Cleveland Clnb- ! Well 'Squire Carr, you need not make fun of the 34 who belong to the Blaine and Logan Club. 34 beats . The Democracy here is alive; we can see it breathe although there are no other perceptible signs of life. We 5 resume that R wT had a good aulence, at least he should have had if the sme effort was made with all Jtepublicana that was with the writ

ers. One "Mors Bat' says to certain Republicans, "Yon have to go and hear him." Now after all the fuss about the immense crowd who meet to hear Major Grubbs, I don't think we had to resort to such

measures to obtain it, The Qraud Jury is making it lively for the boys here; not less than twenty-two being summoned for the 8th and ath of September. Mrs. Dr. Simpson is visiting her father at Bedford this week. Simeon Pedigo has been confined to his room for the past two weeks, but is about again. Mrs. Sallie Field, of lola, Kansas, is visiting her relatives here. Ladies call at Kinser's store and see Frank's new mustache. "Its a daisy." Couldn't the town afford to build a shelter over the croquet ground for the benefit of Squire Carr and Bill Carmtchael? One gentleman says he has been terribly missrepresented in the Telephone a few weeks ago with regard to drunkeness on the streets. In the items we mentioned no ones name. We are sorry the shoe pinches. Will Wallingford and lady spent part of the week at Bloomington. Mrs. A. D. Lemon and family have been visiting their relatives here. They are now in Bedford and will soon leave for Arozona, tleir

home. Rev. Wells was in Bloomiugton

The main portion of the scheme will be papers of a popular character on the great engage

ments of the war, by general officers

Gentlemen, do you intend to stand back and let the women take the -lead. Dr. Gaston and others went to Bloomiugton last Monday night to hear Col. Wise speak. Doctor said it was the best speech he ever heard, and hated it because every Democrat in the State didn't hear it. Miss Lizzie Green has been vis itinginBloomington this week. Mrs. Prof. Morgan has been very sick for the past week, but is some better at this writing. Stanford should have a Blaine & Logstn Club. More copies of the Telephone

come to Stanford post office than the other county papers combined. Since it is being offered at 50 cents till the end of the year several new names Lave been obtained. The Maj. Calkins rally at Bloomington the 17th, next Wednesday will be largely attended from this section. Light-Weight. HARMONY. Last Saturday night Mr. Wm. P. Rogers, of Bloomington, come out to our school house and delivered a speech to a very fair audience. He spoke mostly on the tariff, giving a plain explanation of the issue as he understood it, and our people were much interested in what he said. He reviewed the candidates, National, State, and countp, and showed up Hinkles grave-yard record to perfection.

on the 30ih ult. Everything pos, sible was done to insure a big turn out, but to the utter dismay only 135, actual count, responded to this call for a grand rally. C. C. Matson will speak here on the 13th, when it is expected that hill and dale will send fortb their grateful multitudes to hear tilt true friend of the soldier The Democratic organ has injured Mr. Matson's chances some by its insane argument of the Mexican pension bill. It holds that the Re publican pally is responsible for the failure of this bill, in the face of the fact that the Senate amended and passed the bill and that the House refused to concur in the amendments. It argues that the reason the Senate killed the bill is because the Republicans were opposed to the Mexican war, and are therefore opposed to pensioning the soldiers of that war. The reasoning holds good in the late war. The reasoning holds good in the late war. The Democratic party was opposed

to wis war ana are, tnereiore, opposed to pensioning the Union soldiers. The soldier takes up this train of reasoning and concludes that to subserve his own interests he must assist in putting in power the party that called the soldier to the field, that has voted him all the pensions he now has and that is likely

to do justice to him in every respect, aud that he knows he does not do by voting for Col. Matson, The colonel's little speech at Bloomington has aided considerably in setting the tide against him, for all intelligent persons are not in accord with the speech. Another thing that will cause many of Mr. Matson's friends to vote against him is the fact that instead of advancing the interests of f the soldier as chairman of ,i , .

ine pensions committee, as was ex

narticinant in tne ensrasroments mi-

der consideration. For instance,

the battles, of Shiloh and Vicksburg

will be described by General U. S.

Grant, who will contribute four pap

ers to the series: General Beaure

gard will write of the Frst Bull Run;

General McClcllan, of Antietam;

General Rosecrans, of Stone River; etc., etc. The Passage of the Forts

below New Orleans will be des

cribed by Admiral Porter, and the

Western Gunboat Service by KearAdmiral Walke, and the fight between theMonitor and the Merrimac by Colonel John Taylor Wood, the senior surviving officer of the latter vessel. Other prominent Confederate generals have engaged to contribute, and some of these contributions will be hardly less notable than those above mentioned. In several instances briefer supplementary papers will chronicle special incidents or consider special phases of an engagement. Personal reminiscences of several of the most prominent military leaders, now dead, will also give variety to the scheme. The foregoing contributions will all be by general officers, or, in three of four instances, by staff-officers, and will represent waras itappeared from head-quarters. In conjunction with them will appear from time to time a number of briefer sketches, entitled Recollections of a Private," reflecting, with interesting and lifelike details, the experiences of the common soldier from the time of enlistment to the muster-out: the drill, the march, the bivouac, the skirmish, the charge, the pursuit, the retreat etc., etc. Auxiliary branches of the service will also be treated in this supplementary way. The illustrations of the scheme will receive the most careful attention, and in this particular it is thought that the series will possess an unexualed historical interest.

offered nothing in its stead. The soldiers are realizing that they can not expect anything at the hands of the Democrats. They know that, though Mr. Matson may be ever such a dear friend to them, he can do nothing of himself and they are well aware that Southern Democrats are not favorable to pensioning the Union soldiers. They want a man in Congress who will vote in their interests, which Col. Matson has not done. He votes with his party and his party invariably votes against the soldier.

They argue this with one another

ana witn themselves, and in consequence of it are rapidly coming to the support of Major Grubbs. A Soldier was heard to say, just a day or two ago, "I am a friend Col. Matson because he has been a friend to me, but I fear he has befriended me to have a claim to my vote. I can not sell my vote for the friend

ship ot any man. I must look t i my interest, and in doing wo I must support Major Grubbs. Major Grubbs will vote for my interest." This is the argument of many soldiers who have heretofore voted the Democratic ticket. The immediate triends of the soldiers advocate the same theory, and they, too, will vote for a man to represent them in Congress who will vote something to the soldier as well as assist him in obtaining what he is already intitled to With this idea prevailing among the people Maj. Grubbs will be the next Congressman from the 5th district by a handsome majority.

both sides, authentic paintings and

drawings, and especially photographs of camp scenes, battle-fields, famous localities, etc., etc., etc. A strict regard for accuracy will guide the preparation of the illustrations, and where composition pictures are diserable, the details will be carefully studied from eye-witnesses and the best records, and, where practicable, from nature, with the aim of avoiding so-called "fancy" scenes. Having the aid of such resources of pen aud pencil, the conductors of the magazine feel a resonable confidence that this publication perhaps

Jthe most important and considerable

enterprise ever undertaken by them will possess not only a graphic and personal interest (setting forth the color as well as the form of the

great battles), but also a historical value not easily to be calculated. The aim is to present, not official reports, but memoirs no less authoritative (thought, of necessity, less mi- to) in strategy and tatics, but lay: !!g more stress upon the human and heroic aspects of the great conflict.
