THE PATRONS FAIR. The fair held under the direction of the Patrons of Husbandry was quite a success. We only wished the poor care-worn editors could have been there. There was over one hundred entries on stock, be sides vegtables, grains, fancy articles, fcc. The best show of horses and cattle ever seen in the county was there, and Mrs.' Henry EUer had quite a display in needle work, in the Ladies department. The Ladies did not do as well at tilling up their department as we would have liked them to do, but they did good service in prepairing a splendid dinner, and the men did ample justice when called on to partake. There was a big crowd, and all seemed to enjoy it and wish the day longer. Brother Sanders, in all his generosity, with hi noble wife, bade us a hearty welcome, and we felt that we had met at the right place for accommodation, notwithstanding his afflictions. D

Mt. TABOR. Last Friday afternoon the Republicans in the vicinity of Mount Tabor raised a Blaine and Logan pole that reached up in the air 82 feet high, and is was as straight and as nice as could be found. At least sixty voters were present, and the meeting was a grand success. Hon. Alfred Harryman was present and made telling a speech,occupying almost the entire time in a discussion of the tariff question. He talks on the question as it relates to farmers, and is very plain with his facts. Mr. Harryman went from here to Stinesville where he had a good hearing.

ELLETTSVTLLE.

As to the merits or demerits of the matter we have nothing to say. If the plan is a good one Mr. K. is not to have the credit, or if it is a bad thing, and entails hardships on the poor? he is not to be held responsible. At the last meeting of the Board of Commissioners the ordinance was repealed. Mrs. Annie Cooper, of of TerreHaute, visited the family of W. T. Harris last week. Miss lira Sanders spent last week with the family of Leroy Sanders at Bloooinington. The editor of the Citizen spent a few days the first of this week at Indianapolis We learn that W. E. Naugle will soon commence the publication of a paper at Waverly, Morgan co. Last week Mrs. D. B. Wood returned to Indianapolis after a pleasant three weeks' visit at last place. She was accompanied home by her brother, S.B. Harris. We are happy to announce another recruit to the Blaine forces Sunday, a nine and a half pound boy at Robert Puett's. On Saturday evening .1. H. Stimson and Mitch Acuff arrived from Kansas to visit friends a few weeks. They both hold good positions in that. State. Mrs. Julia Braxtan has removed to Bloomington to remain during the college year. Miss Belle Braxtan succeeded in working up a Franklin Square Library at this place, arid also one at Gosport. Miss May McXaught, of Spencer, has been visiting at Dr. R. ' Harris's for a few days. H. M. E dmondson, who was dangerously ill last week, is able to be out again.

MARION TOWNSHIP.

On Thursday night, the 18th, the first Republican Club in the history of Marion township was organized and on its banners was

nlaced the name of "Blaine and

r Logan." A meeting was called to

meet at the Stipp church, and there

w.ere a good number present and

speeches were made by several.

The meeting organized by electing

Thomas Landrum for Chairman, and

Madison Meddle for Secretary. Re

marks were made by the Chairman,

R. J. Lee and D. B. Kendrick of

Washington township. 9 Madison Meddle, though only 16 years old, made a splendid little speech and was loudly applauded. A call for names was made and 14 signed the roll. The meeting adjourned to meet at Hacker Creek school house

The meeting of the Hon. A. H. Harryman at this place was well at-

a

much interested in the remains of

the Greely relief expedition which are to be found in the government's department now at the Southern. Miss Dicy Wright, from near Ketcham's sulphur spring, is visiting the family of L. W. Sanders. There seems to be some little

misunderstanding on the part of McPike. It was agreed, that

some of our citizens in regard to the special invitation be extended to all part Wm. M. A. Kirby, our worthy the ladies to attend the meetings, candidate for commissioner, took in The Drill company was aliso further getting up and circulating petitions organized, and 40 suits ordered, to for the enactment of a stock or- consist of a shirt, a belt, a cap, and dinance, prohibiting the running at a torch. large of stock in Richland and Van On Friday night, the 19th, the Buren townships.

Mr. Kirby was not The people that of necessity very favorable to the plan, but travel the Stanford road are overwrote out a form for the petition as flowing with gratitude to their requested and afterwards signed it. Supervisor, Joseph Green, for Instead of being the leader he was macadamizing Freeze's hill instead a reluctant signer, and it is injustice of putting a little work here and to charge him with the leadership, there on the road, that is of but lit

tle benefit. The hill has been one of the worst in the county, and almost beyond traveling in the spring. Last Friday evening there were several famlies in and about Stan

ford made happy by the return of relatives from Kansas a kind of family reunion as it were. The following persons returned, all from Nemaha County Kansas: J. H. Young and family M. R. Connett and family, J, Thompson and family, S. Torence and lady, and Mary Thompson. They will remain three or four weeks. The round trip from that point was $13.50. Mr. Connett's sons and their families, from northwest Kansas, are visiting their father at this place. The farmers are late seeding on account of the dry wether. Glee clubs are .all the go; both political parties have them. Gilbert Uurch and lady, and J acob Car m i ch ael were on th e steeets last Sunday. They were stopping with J. D. Morgan. The Democrats will have a pole raising at Kirksville Saturday, the 27th. Wonder if the Republicans will have to help them as they did at Harmony? From another Correspondent : Farmers busy sowing wheat. We were blessed with a nice rain last Sunday night. The members of the church have commenced repairing their house by placing a new plattorra in front of the building. Arthur Young, a stanch Republican, is building an addition to his house. Stanford will improve. Wm. OHiver became a citizen of our town last Tuesday. Mr. O. is a clever and social man, and we welcome him to our midst. Dr. Gaston was confined to his bed on Sunday and Monday with a spell of sick headache. Tuesday morning last at 8 o'clock our people were surprised by the cry of fire, which was afterwards discovered to be at Peter Thrasher's. His barn was in flames, and in spite of the efforts of our citizens, it with its contents was soon destroyed; loss amounting to $450. How it caught is unknown to any one. J. II.Thrasher and J.N. Thrasher are visiting relatives and viewing the beautiful country in Kansas. Mrs. Eliza Gentry has just returned from a visit in Ellettsville, where her son lives. We are satisfied that the glee club is far ahead of the variety.

Charles Graham, of OwenshurgJ

is in our vicinity taking out insurance policies.

SOUTH UNION. Lou Wilson, daughter of L. W. Jones, left on the 12 o'clock train, Thursday for Ottawa, Kansas, to join her husband, who went through with a team. Also Mrs. Rebecca Jones left on the same train for Zionsville. David Davis and Wesley Jones contemplate going to Arkansas soon. A fine rain last Tuesday night, and now farmers are all busy. David Paddock, wife and daughter, of Bloomington, spent the first of the week with his mother, who is quite sick. Miss Light Jones spent this week with Miss Jennie Koons. Dr. Dodd is poorly. Dr. Maxwell was down Wednesday to see Mrs. Koonts, who is some better. At last a good rain lias come.

It has been so long sine we have had

any rain that pastures are very low.

ative, spoke here Thursday night. We did not go, however, as we had heard the piece spoken several times before and did not care to hear it over. The Nati nals are something like ben's teeth here. Mrs. Mary God hart, of Illinois, is visiting her fatter, Lindere Lowder. Mose Field says he is for Cleveland. We are surprised. There are two Glee Clubs in town, a Republican and Democratic, with about an equal division of the musical talent. Mrs Julia Tatum, of Smithville, spent Sunday at her fathers, Mr. Oliver's. Will Sares is to move into the house he bought of Samuel Wallingford, the 1st of October. Mrs. Blanch Walliugford was at Bloomington among her friends, the first of the week. W. H. Lowe and family have moved into their new house. It has been handsomely painted and is now the nicest plaee in Harrodsburg. Col. C. C. Matson spoke here last night. J. D. Urmey went to Bloomington last Tuesday.

INDIAN CREEK. The Democrats meet to-day (Saturday) at Kirksville to raise a pole. Better save your pole, gentlemen, you may want it this fail to knock the persimon. Dan Smith has a 10-J- pound boy at his house. Who can beat that for the first? No need of you going to Kansas, Dannie, you couldn't beat that in any country. Another peddling wagon started from this township this week, and George W. May, jr., is the gentlemanly proprietor. Look out girls, for George is good looking and single too. John Wes. Jones talks of starting to Arkansas soon on his usual hunt, where they have bears, deer, turkeys, geese, ducks, fcc. But ask Wes., he can tell you all about it. Let us hear from you accordingly during your absence. George W. May, sr., moved from this township to VanBuren on the 4th of this montn. All right I

guess VanBuren will need all the Republican votes they can get, and

Indian is Republican anyhow. The schools of our township are moving along smothly under the management of our Republican trustee. I will try in the near future to give you a list of the teachers in the town ship. New five-dollar bills are plentiful in these parts at present. Not, however, on account of coming election. Oh no, our mules have been delivered. Now, Mr. Editor, look out for your share. We want to know who in the thunder is Tobe Green, and where is his barn? We know Labean Green has a new roof on his barn: and we also knew Bro. McKee preached at South Union a short time ago, but we didn't know that

W. McKee did until we saw in the Telephone. We would like to know why you don't put our county and State ticket in the paper? You are all right, and publish a red hot Republican sheet. In neglecting this many of your patrons may not know the genuine ticket when they see it and thus get fooled. The reason is, Mr. Correspondent, the election is six weeks away yet, and fot the ticket to have been standing since last July would have been to have occupied several inches of space un-necessarily that subscribers expect to be filled with reading matter. The time of election now being near, the ticket will be found at the head of our columns. Edr. j Our Trustee Woodward was in Louisville this week laying in goods and taking in the exposition. More word from Kansas: Bud.

We now have a erood, substan

tial bridore at the foot of ILizp.I hill.

-Last Sunday some of the girls bT van Sot .bactk from there

struck out on horse-back for Hebron

to hear good old Bro. Fulk preach,

and they rode all the way back with out a boy in the crowd." They are

still mad.

We want to know,

Why Florence wants to go to Texas? How Mat can always tell where Mason Long was a few days ago? Why Sue thinks there is no boy like a Green one? Why Laura so admires a certain vest? If Manda really did lose her slipper? 1 How could we get along without the Telephone only 40cts to the end of the year.

HARRODSBURG. Frank Moore and wife, of Chicago, spent last Sunday at Dr. MeLahlan's, Mr. Moore's brother-in-law. Rain, rain, rain! Plenty of it. Roads muddy. Miss Lizzie Newkirk, of Cleveland, Ohio, is visiting her mother, Mrs. Tilley. The post office has been removed into the room adjoining Joe Woodward's store room. Hush Marlin, a natioual-green-

back-anti-monopoly-labor reprosent-

and says it is the nicest country in

the world. M. H. Buskirk is on the war path this week with his Jacobstalf away out on Bean. It has rained; now sow wheat. Not a Republican speaking in this township yet. SMITHVILLE. Thursday night last the Republicans held a telling meeting at this place, that was addressed by W. P. Rogers and Jos. TL. Henley in an able manner. The house in which they met was crowded and from the demonstrations it is evident the Re -publicans down here are wide awake and :i work. The audience was called ! order by John Harrold by nioynjL; that Sandy Baker act as Chairman, which was made unanimous. At this period the Bloomington glee club rendered some excellent music that was wildly applauded. W. P. Rogers, when introduced, made a speech of one hour on the tariff, and the Solid North, vs. the olid South, J. E. Henley followed with a good talk, paying a handsome tribute to Judge Pearson on his qualifications and personal integrity, and also showing up the record of C. C. Matson. It was a grand meeting.
