W. D. Clark was in this eonuty last week. He is an independent candidate for Representative, and if reports may be believed, has a very strong following in Brown county among men of all parties, whicn is more than can be said of Browning, the Democratic nominee. Republicans would do well to look into this matter without delay. Jason B. Brown will address he Democracy on the night of the 16th. Hope he won't vise such language as he gave vent to in the last legislature upon an exciting occasion, or there will be fire-works enough to last until the next campaign. They also have speaking announced for
Oct. 10th and the 24th, by Boyd Winchester and a fellow by the name of McKenzey "from Kentucky, Sah"! City Marshal Ren C. Smith returned from Ohio last week. He was at Zanesville when Blaine was there, and gays that no one but a witness could imagine the enthusiasm that prevailed. When the train stopped, Blaine was escorted to a carriage, but after it had gone a
few feet the crowd was so dense
that they could ride no further, and
when Blaine alighted the people took hold of him and passed him
over the crowd. As an example of the number of people Mr. Smith says that an hour before the time for speaking it was with difficulty he could get near the stand. Blaine spoke for five minutes. A dispatch from Martinsvill8 Tuesday says: "One of the boldest highway robberies that ever occurred in this section of the State took place at Taggart's Crossing, four miles south-east of here, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. A staye dealer from Monroe county, by the name
of Ivison Edmunds was walking to this city, and met six men in a wagon. As they drove up to him one of them drew out his revolver und said: "Hold up your hands, you, or I'll shoot you." At the same time several others in the wagon drew revolvers, and Edmunds had nothing to do but comply with their demand. Two of the occupants of the wagon jumped out, and while one held his hands the other searched his pockets, taking from him in money something over $150, besides other valuables. After they had completed the job they jumped in their wagon and drove off. Edmunds walked on to this city and informed the officers, who, in company with him, immediately started in pursuit of the highwaymen. Edmunds says there were six of the robbers, and he feels sure he can indentify all of ehem. The parties he describes were in this city this morning, and all left under the influence of liquor. They reside in Mpnroe and Brown counties, and
are well known to the officers here. There is no donbt but they Trill all be captured before morning."

Through the efforts of George W. Grubbs an "Examining Board" for pensioners has been established at Martinsville. Heretofore it has been necessary for soldiers to go to Greencastle. Yet we don't hear Grubbs going over the district howlipg, "Oh, look what I've done!" Bosh on the "''soldier's friend." Just as the town clock struck 4 o'clock Thursday evening, October 9th, a dull whistle was heard from the direction of the Graham lot; the Showers factory, that two months before had gone down to ashes had risen again, and the sound came from the new buildings, and was a signal that the establishment was ready for work again. The public had been invited and quite a large number were present to participate in the opening for business of the new Showers furniture factory, that in just sixty days had sprung up from the ashes and was again the pride of the city. A pole had been raised to the highth of 100 feet, and
to its top was run a flag in commemoration of the occasion. The Riley
dramatic band was present and discounted some excellent music.
Speeches were called for and short addresses, sutiable to the occasion, were made by Hon. W. F. Browning, Prof. Atwater, M a j. Brant, Wm. P. Rogers and others. The two manufacturing buildings are completed and equipped with the very best machinery, and near ninety hands are now employed. In a few weeks a larger force will be put at work and business will begin in earnest.
Last Wednesday a young man by the name of Williams issued for himself a free pass to the penitentiary by writing out some money orders on John Campbell. He was from Washington county and had worked for Campbell for a half day out on the pike, when he proved himself worthless and was turned off. He came to town and proceeded immediately to take advantage of his short acquaintance by writing several orders, signing Campbell's name to them and making them all read that Campbell would be in Saturday evidently so Williams could be a safe distance away. The first was tried oa Mose Kahn and drew a suit of clothes and a Waterbury. (He had been reading the Telephone and saw Mose's tempting offer.) He next tried Mobley, but as Campbell did no trading Vith him, he thought it strange and refused to take it. Williams informed Mobley that he had another note on McCalla, and he would go and getitcasked. He did accordingly. In a short time Mobley wem; to McCalla and told him of his suspicion, and in a few minutes a brother of Campbell's was seen and pronounced the notes forgery. In a few minutes the fellow was noticed in Lindley's drug store and arrested. He was taken to the Mayor's office, and being unable to give bail was sent to jail to await the coming term of Court.
