HARMONY. Last week I wrote you of the successful meeting at our school house addressed by W. P. Rogers, attended by a good audience fully 60 persons, three fourths of whom were voters Well, last Thurs day the town "ring" portion of the Democracy thought they would hold a grand demonstration here, and advertised' a pole raising, and Judge Robinson and Secretary-of-State Myers addressed the people. About 10 o'clock, with banners waving, drums playing and girls a singing, the town Democrats put in their appearance, and my honest word for it, not oer 100 voters were present. In point of crowd and enthusiasm the meeting was a failure complete, though it was a nice day and everybody knew it. The pole was raised by the assistance of Republicans, else it would be laying flat to-day. Democrats present know this was a fact! The Democracy of Van Buren is thin indeed, and what there is of it, takes no interest in the canvass. It is the intention of the Republicans to have a real rally out here soon, when no less than 2,000 people are expected and a delegation from Bloomington that will out-number the whole crowd that was here last Thursday.

HINDOSTAN. The store room of Rev. Thos. Gillaspey is rapidly nearing completion, and David Hubbard is

Give us Blaine and business booms, and we don't care who writesibe National anthems. Will you do i boys? John Smitn is repairing his house, and Marion Corrol and Jeff Brown will follow his example in the near future. Miss Nannie Hoke returned from a visit home last Monday. Every body out this way anxious to vote for our neighbor, Squire Fulford, for commissioner. Frank Dobson made a good impression in our community, while visiting us last week. Bob, Miller donated the other day a valuable collection of bones to the University museum. A good attendance of Republicans on the Calkins meeting at Bloomington Wednesday, and everybody delighted with the Republican nom inee for Governor. -Miss Lydie Roberts, who resides with her step-father, Wise Anderson, n.ear Wayport., is an expert in Vlip reading," or as it is called at the Deaf and Dumb Institute "articulation."

ferent localities Tuesday, but

everything was so heated and parched up that its effect didn't seem to last long. If it would rain constantly for about 48 hours we would begin to think of getting ready to sow wheat. Most everybody seems to have their summer work done, such as clearing up the farms and now have seme ieasure to chat over the principles of American politics, which are exciting every one so much (newspaper reports). To be sure, we are not much excited or warmed up, as one would say; for we havent yet had a political speech in the Jownship. We have been looking verv day for notices that some big gun should address, and organize ?lubs,c. So there are no Glee clubs Blaine or Cleveland clubs, or any other kind of dubs, except the dubs which some find occasion to L at tke polls in committing asmlt anl battery," or those nsed to

preserve the peace which is occasionally interrupted by th use of candidate alcohol distributed over the township the night before the election or election day at the polls, by a few men who have no respect for themselves or their community. Pray, stop your direful practice; come out, organise your forces, make your speeches and let the men vote from their sense of duty and right. Our best wishes and earnest sympathies to the district schoolteacher who have entered upon their work or are about to do so. Dust fin the roods not quite knee deep before the shower. Going to sow wheat on next change of the moon. The saw-mill at Blackwells is to move to Sadie creek soon. The stave business is giving us a little rest for a few days. Peace once more; the time has actually come and our teachers are in their places. The trusted took the matter into his. own hands and appointed teacher where he wished. At one place where two elections were held and two different teachers elected, neither was appointed. If the final action of the trustee had been the initial act, it would have saved much trouble, many petty discussions, and much discontent. However, we are all glad it is over and the teachers have begun their work. It is as follows: Black well School house, Stella Norman; South Grange, E. C. Gilstrap; Hunters Creek, Calvin Todd; Saddle Creek, Tyra Todd; Axom Branch. Pol lis Armbruster; Allen's Creek, Helen Burgoon; Gray's Tan yard, G. M. Norman; Chapel Hill, Sam, Small-wood.

ELLETTSVILLE. Pleas. Minett has secured a pension of $8 per month and $143 back pay. Mrs. J. B. Sedwick, of Indianapolis, attended the funeral of her brother, Richard McNeely, at this place last week and remained a few days. Rev. Byram Carter, the new Methodist Minister, preached interesting sermons to good audiences at this place Sunday morning and night. James Chambers is prepairing to erect a dwelling house on his farm next spring. Steve Gillaspy is the happy father of a new girl. Andrew Gillaspy is the proud recipient of a present from his wife a boy. Mr, S. D. Farrabee is now at Paxton, Hi., at the bedside of Conrad Miller, who is very sick with typhoid fever. For about two years Richard McNeely has been in bad health, and about ten days ago his condition became so serious that considerable alarm was; caused among his family, and those of his brothers and sisters residing away from town were summoned. On Friday evening Sep. 5th, at 3 o'clock his spirit passed into the unknown, and the following evening his body was buried at the C. P. cemetery. Funeral service 'was conducted at the M. E. chureh by Kev. Carter, at which place a large number of our citizens were gathered to pay the last respect to an old citizen. The deceased was born on the old McNeely farm in Beanbloosom tp., Feb. 10th, 1883, and leaves a wife and several grown children. He was a member of the town board at the time of his death. The Morgan Presbytery of the C. P. church will meet at Pleasant Hill chapel, at this place, Sept. 25, 1884, at 7 o'clock p. m. Services will be held each day and night while the preebytery is in session. The preaching will be by the best ministers in the district. On the fourth Sunday there will be preaching also. All people are cordially invited to attend, and esspecially the members of the CP. church.

"The Largest Stock, The Cheapest and the Best."

BROWN COUNTY ITENS. Nashville, Ind., Sept, 0, 1884. Ii is generally believed that Maj. Grubbs will have a ride over for Congress from this district. I know several voters who, last spring would have supported Col. Matson, will now vote heartily for Maj. Grubbs. We have Republicans that clamored for Matson in preference to any other man, who now declare for Maj, Grubbs. This is as it should be. Every Union soldier whether he be a Democrat, Republican, National or Prohibitionist, should vote for his interest; this he will do when he votes for Maj. Grubbs. Jeff. Davis letter to a reunion of Confederate soldiers, at Forsyth, Ga. is sufficient to convince a union soldier that it is to his interest to vote the Republican ticket. The feeling expressed by Mr. Davis shows clearly the viewe held by Southerners in regard to pensioning the Union soldier and everybody knows that the South rules the Democratic party. This letter of Mr. Davis' is very recent, being" written a couple of weeks ago. He says, ''Though the States are again reunited and all contribute to fill the Treasury of the General Government, the funds there collected are only appropriated to provide for the ex-soldiers of tlf e

Northern States." Now does not this say by implication that, if we had the power, this would not be so; that we would provide for our disabled soldier? Does any Union soldier desire that the confederate soldier shall be pensioned by the general government. If he does, to bring it about vote for Col. Matson; if he does not, to prevent it vote for Maj. Grubbs. The Democrats over here have become so scared over the prospects of Matson 's being defeated that they hardly know what to do. In their insane moments they have gone sc far as to attempt to intimidate Union soldiers who will support Grubbs by threatening to stop their pensions They got some person to visit these soldiers and say, "I wouldn't vote for Grubbs if I were you. He can't be elected and you vote against your interests by not voting for Matson." Soldier can't understand, and the emissary explains thusly. "Well you see that Maj. Grubbs can't be elected, and of course Col. Matson will be. Now, you may want some help hereafter, and Mr. Matson may not give it if you yote against him. Besides, if he can get our pensions for us he can take them away, and this is what they say he will do," By this means they hope to induce the easy going soldiers to vote for Matson for fear he will take their pensions away, or will refuse aid hereafter. But there is too much intelligence among Union soldiers to allow such resarous schemes to be imposed upon.

SOUTH UNION. Mrs. Eli Koons is quite sick. Mrs. Wilson is and has been the guest of her father Lewis Jones for the past month. Bro. W. Kee preached at South Union Sunday in the morning and Sunday night. The boys were glad for they say it takes cheek to ask a girl in day-light for their company, especially after some girl has said no. Lewis Jones had a buyer for his farm this week. He says he will sell and move to Kansas. Miss Hattie Tourner is visiting in Ellettsville. South Union turned out in full to hear Calkins on Wednesday. J. B. Hazel commenced school at our school house Monday with a large number of scholars. John is one of the best of teachers. Mit Hazel has bought Mrs. Whaley's farm and moved thereon. Glad to have you among us, Mit.

STANFORD.

The weather is immense, but rather hot; still waiting for it to rain so we can sow wheat. Wells beginning to fail and water is scarce. Mrs. T. W. Sparks is visiting relatives in Bloomington this week. Andy Holder, son of F. M. Holder, has been very sick, but is better at present, and thinks he will soon be able to be about on the streets. School commenced Monday morning under the instruction of Prof. Morgan, and his daughter Hattie, as his assistant. Andy Varner and family, of Greene county, was visiting Hem y Sparks on last Saturday and Sunday. Nelson Connett and family went to Solsberry to meeting last Sunday. There will be preaching here next Saturday night and Sunday by Mr. Coffey. Also Sunday school on Sunday at 4 o'clock p. m. Young men of Stanford, why don't you attend Sunday school more regular and try to make it interesting as possible? Our Sup'fc, Mr. Paffonl, does all 5n his power to make tin school a good one, so turn out and help to work in a good cause. Republicans met on last Friday night and organized a glee club. On Thursday night they furnished music for the speaking at the Kirby school house. The variety at Stanford meets Tuesday and FKday nights of each week. "If I had it to do over again I would make him promise to vote the Democratic ticket," so says a lady in our town.

Who was that weak kneed young fellow that was going to hold a light just to get to go with a glee club,? Come out bravely, young man, and show your colors. Light Weight

HARRODSBURG. Mrs. Mose Field and Mrs. Doug. Field left on Thursday for Iola, Kansas. On last Friday night the Republicans of Harrodsburg were the recipients of quite a treat in the way of a speech by S. li. Lowe, of Bedford. Mr. Lowe reviewed the issues of the day quite thorough'. His speech throughout was heartily concurred in. We may also remark that Dr. McLahlan prefaced the remarks vith a neat little speech, in which he introduced Mr. Lowe. Ed. Kcllei, of Lafayette, was in town a part of thi week. Ed has many friends here, who are always pleased to see him. The Democrats had a meeting here Saturday night, present of which were several speakers, J. R. East, Bran am and others; but their Glee Club did the work. "That Righteous Rebel Yell!" Quite a number of Soldiers in Monroe county have heard that same yell on many a battle field and have not forgotten it, as the ballots in November will testify. Dr. Simpson spent Sunday in Bedford. Dr. McLahlan and wife, and quite a number of others, went to Bloomington Wednesday to hear Maj. Calkins, the next Governor of Indiana. The Democrats have lately organized a Glee Club, and the Republicans will soon. Miss Mary Wells went to Greencastle on Saturday where she is

taking a course in Music. John Tatum and wife,

Smithville, spent Sunday here. Wheat sowing almost over. Farmers are experimenting with home meal and phospate. We think this a step in the right direction. From another Correspondent : The farmers are sowing wheat. Only a limited number of our wheat growers use bone meal; in this they are behind the age. Corn is promising an average yield. Fruit was a failure. The church house in Smithville, owned by the Methodist Episcopal and Protestant Methodist churches, has been repaired inside and out, a neat spire placed on it, and a fine bell, furnished by Sheriff Grimes, placed in the tower. The reopen

ing will be Sunday, October 5th.

by Rev. E P. N. Wells, of the Methodist church; and Rev. Theodore Stackhouse. The Democrats and Republicans are each working hard for their tickets; each have a glee club to furnish music for their meetings. The attendance of their meetings of each of the parties is good; neither of the parties have committed the folly of raising a pole yet, and it is to be hoped they will not. The hogs in the neighborhood are dying with cholera. Armstrong & Co. sold two hundred head of fattened cattle recently to a Cincinnati firm.

OtJliE FOR PILES. Piles are frequently preceeded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower pan of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has some affection of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At times, symtoms of i ndgestion are present, as flatuzency, unensincss of the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspiration, producing a very dissagreeable itchintr, after getting warm, is a very common attendant.
