MARION TOWNSHIP. Polities is all the talk, Lizzie Hacker has been on the sick list. Bob Campbell, who has been attending school at Bloorafield, has retained. ' 211. E. Spades, of Indianapolis, was in our neighborhood on business. CassaFarrhas been suffering from an attack of typhoid fever for some time, but is recovering. We have a Blaine and Logan club organized in our1 township, at last, with about 70 members, and hope for it to reach 80.

There was an enthusiastic meeting of the Republicans of Marion and Washington townships, last Thursday, at the Thacker

school house. James Owens on going into his provision house the other morn

ing found a .little black dog locked

up within, how it came there ne is unable to find out. There has been considerable improvements by farmers in our township, John Twomey and John Prior and W. H. Drapper have built new houses on their farms. -As goes Marion township, so goes the county, is the Slogan that prevails, in the county. Wo got a majority last spring of 15 and have ther hopes of getting a majority of 25 or 30 in November. All persons who have talked of the poverty of the soil of old Monroe county, should see a puinkin that wag raised on J. K. Sharp's farm. Its weight is 96 pounds; not much for rocky soil of , Happy Hollow. We want it understood that the Republicans of Marion township and joining townships, will meet at the precinct of Marion township, (or Stipps as it is commonly called), every Monday night from bow until the election, and we invite Morgan county to send some of her speakers. The schools begun in ow township with -the following teachers: District No 1, Sally RusV District No, 2, Delia Bates: District No. 3, Henry Core; District No. 4a Howard Farr. There has been a fair attendance so far. Patrons who live a distance from school should send

their small children con

while the weather is pleasant.

Isaac Hartsock has gone to Kansas, He will be 21 years old the 22nd of October, and eager eye are looking for his return before the 4th of November, although, Ike is the eon of a Democrat, he has pledged his word to vote for Blaine and Logan and the' party that has done so much for the progress, success and prosperity of the country. Ike is one of those young men who has been brought up with the common schools of the country and parties, and thereby chooses for

himself, success to ail such men, Iverson Edmonds, a Monroe county stave dealer, came into the city, the other day, and declared that he had been robbed of $150, near Taggart's crossing. He said that six men drew their revolvers on him, and compelled him to fork over his money. Officers Dryden and Lloyd started after the alledged robbers, and overtook them in- Brown county, when it turned out that the story of Edmonds was somewhat of a myth. It appears that he hurrahed for "Blaine and Logan," when one of a party of the three men drew a shooter, on him and required him' to take it back. The other men then made their companion desist, when the three men got into their wagon and departed. Item from Martinsville. ELLETTS V I LLE. Last week Judge E. D. Pearson, of Lawrence county, was in town and he was warmly received by the Republicans of this township, who will support him to a man at the coming election. Judge P. is a sober, truthful, honest man, and there is not a better judge of law in southern Indiana than he. The judge reports his prospects in other parts of the circuit good. A St. John club of 20 voters was organized at this place last week. This club is composed of 1 6 Republicans and 4 Democrats. So long as clubs can be organized this way the Democracy is well pleaded, and will be found encouraging the organization of such clubs. We learn an effort will be made in Eeanbloosoiff township to organize a

lnb. In tht township the Dem

ocrats hope to draw largely from

the Republican ranks, and of course two or three Democrats can afford

to join it. Three Republicans to one Democrat is about the ratio in which the two parties are represented in tlm St. John movement. The plan is too transparent to accomplish its work. James Grant U now visiting frien Is at this place. -Sunday morning the funeral of Mrs. Davia Burks was preached at the Christian churchy by Eld. Krutsinger. Next Saturday night will be the 2nd anniversary of F. D. Mathews Post and on that evening the Post will indulge iu a bean soup and hardtack supper. Uncle Johnny Stanger, aged about 85 years, died last Thursday morning, Oct. 2nd. He was one of the first settlers of Monroe county, and was always a peaceable, respectable citizen. Mrs. Mills has had her dwelling considerably improved the past two weeks. John E. Eakin and Newt May did the work. Mr. Eakin, who had the contract, is one of the best workmen and house planers in the state, as his numerous jobs in this county attest. ' E. Phillips has 70 head of yearlings and two-year old steers which he wishes to sell, at reasonable prices. RICHLAND ITEMS. Weather cool and wheat sowing about done. Mr. and Mrs. Gilles attended the Baptists Association at Stines-

ville the first of last week. Daniel Pafford is recovering from a serious attack of rheumatism. Miss Mattie Stone is visiting friends and relatives in Blooming ton, Harmony, Richland and other parts. She will spend this winter visiting a sister in Illinois, thence go to her home iu Mossouri. Mrs. Frieze is getting along finely with her school. Her pupils like her and we wish her suceess. Miss Emma Sample, who had quite a serious spell of sickness during the summer, has not yet recovered. W. J. Reed, with his wife and mother, enjoyed quite a pleasant visit at Charles Wier's last Thursday week. A new baby at Alfred McGuires a bouncing big girl this time. ' J. B. Thomas and family; also Jack Coan anl family are visiting triends and relations at; Spencer this week. Quite a lively Republican speaking was held at the Rice School house last Thursday night week. Lawyer Duncan delivered quite an interestingaddress, which was followed by a speech from James Eller. This meeting was made more interesting by the Gle3 Club from Stanford that deserves praise for their excellent music. The meeting was well attended by ail parties. This Township is Republican clear through. A Subscriber.

HINDOSTAN. John Smith is making large quantities of cider and gathering apples for winter use from one of the best orchards in Monroe county. The Republican Glee Club of this vicinity is an excellent one, and contains some good musical talent. A little fight between Henry Core and young Baston enlivened

the Democratic Glee Club meeting

last Friday nigiii.

Squire Fulford, Republican candidate for commissioner, is gaining

daily in popularity.

Two nieces of Dr. Farr are very low with typhoid fever and can hardly recover. One, Cassie, the young lady is about 10 years old, and the other is her brother. Miss Elsie Spencer is making a pleasant visit at her aunt's, Mrs. Kate Drysdale in Bloomington. Squire John T. Robinson moved to Hindostan last week. He is our villiage blacksmith and is already doing a good business. Another row at South Union, Baker township, in Morgan county, a few miles from here, and the result was another draw battle. Last Saturday night, at King's school house, the Republicans held a glorious meeting, that was larger attended than any for some time. E. C. Fitch, of Bloomington, made a telling speech and all were much pleased. He makes good remarks on the tariff. Isaac Claman was present and shook hands with the boys. UNION VILLE. A week ago last Sunday morning a young man by the name of James Lindsey, living about four miles from this plaoo and jut in Brown county, was killed near Terre Haute. He, with his brother, was walking in from Illinois along the rail road and we re on a trustle when the train Q&rae thundering along, and before they could get off the engine was upon them. James

was struck and thrown several feet, the fall breaking his neck. The other brother noticing a barrel to the side filled with water, made a leep and reaching it thus saved his life. The rail-road company very kindly paid the expeuses of caring for the body and bringing it home. Last Friday night M. M. Dunlap and Enoch Fuller &poke to a good crowd of voters. Both made good speeches that were well received. INDIAN CREEK? The weather continues nice and the pastures and early-sowed wheat is on a boom,but still there is a class of chronic grumblers persons who would grumble to be hung who say the wheat will be too rank this year, the fly will ruin it. What a pitty such folks couldn't control the weather! Indian Creek is coming; get out of the way, we'll all be", in Bloomington Saturday. Johnnie Saras is mending slowly, after a forty days tussle with typhoid foyer. Eddie Turner is poorly with fever. Eddie Moore is very low with typhoid; also Mrs. John Ronan is dangerous with some kind of stomach trouble. Kaspcr Baker's baby is poprly with fiux. Doctors seem to be reaping a bountiful harvest at present. People should be very careful about exposing themselves these cool moraines in the dew among rank vegeta

tion, as that is the source ot much

sickness, especially among farmers. . Three arrivals from Illinois within the last two weeks, towit: Bud Butcher, Jake Kirk and Mack Sares. They have been out there at work a while, and have come home to rest and recruit a little. Another big Democratification at Kirksville last Saturday. Pitty they can't get over their licking of last spring. If they don't soon quit their uproar we will beat them worse tban ever this fall. Col. Matson seems to be having quite a contract of Grubbing thife round; in fact the Grubbs are getting away with him. He had the wool considerably pulled over some of the soldier's eyes, but his action in regard to pensioning the ex-prisoners of war has removed the scales from their eyes and they now see clearly.

Maj. Grubbs speaks at Kirksyille next Thursday atl o'clock and will have a large hearing. Come out and hear him. NORTH OF TOWN. We are all coming next Saturday to the last Grand Rally. Miss Nannie Bishop, of Martinsville,is visiting Miss Allie Johnston. New-sowed wheat is beginning to come up. Miss Maggie Kirk and children, of Martinsville, are visiting at her father's in this neighborhood. Mrs. James Wilson and daughter Nellie, of Centraha, His., having spent two weeks very pleasantly with the families of Wm. Johnston andC. A. Jnnkiu returned home last Friday. SOUTH GRANGE.

Some still sowing wheat; most of it up and growing nicely. The rajns have made fall pasture fine. David Todd and wife started the- 9th inst. for their home at Danville, Ills. Married: At the home of the bride's father, Cora Hays and John Shields. This is not the first time the heroes of Salt Creek township have invaded our territory and taken away some young woman victim. : They are living at his father's at present, and both are energetic young people and we wish them success. We forgot to mention before that there is a new immigrant in the family of Peter Hays. Dick Thomas (the father's favorite name) is growing well. JThe politician has dared to come among us. Bob Miers addressed a good crowd at the Blackwell school house 1 ast Saturday. Now, who is next? Schools doing good work and the teachers giving satisfaction. G. M. Norman has purchased the farm in Lawrence county owned by William Eaton, and, we "suppose will move there in the spring. A large turnout may be expected at the grand rally from tins neighborhood. As I5ro. Browning would say; "We will turn out in force!" Maj. Grubbs, our Republican candidate for Congress, will speak at Allen Creek church next Wednesday, at 1 o'clock. We are all going to hear him. KIRKSVILLE. Everybody arrouscd by the coming of Maj. Grubbs. At Kirksville last Saturday J. R. East, in speaking on the corrup

tion of the Republican party, grumbled considerable about the tariff on aster oil. John Koonts couldn't work Wednesday. He had to go up to Bloomington to hear from Ohio, and he went not in vain At the speaking Saturday the candidates spoke strictly against the use of money or whisky but the grounds were well perfumed and several with half-opened eves. The Republicans of this vicinity visited a Republican speaking at South Union Oct. 9th, at night and all were well paid by the address of Mr. Fituhon the tariff. Good niusie was furnished by the Stanford glee club, and also a short and effective speech was made by Dr. Gaston that was loudly applauded. Kirksville has a Democratic glee club, with Mack. Sares for Hag carrier. A very old and respectable lady Marget Kirk died Friday, Oct. 10th, at this place. Ed Moore is verv sick with tvphoid fever. Will some kind reader tell me if Will Cook has turned his beard out. The last Republican rally next Saturday, will be largely attended from about here.

BRYANTS CREEK. Last Monday night the Republicans held an enthusiastic meeting at Pollpy school house, and were not .disturbed by the Democrats The glee club furnished the music and Bre. B as tin furnished the eloquence. Tuesday night the largest Republican meeting at night, held in twenty years, was at Simpson's chapel. Music speeches and a drill by the club. Maj. Grubbs will be in Washington township next Tuesday at lOo'clock and will have an immense hearing. The Sunday School celebration was posponed indefinitely. The time of opening on Sunday's was changed from 9 to 3 o'clock. J. E. Wylie spoke at Hoop-pole school house Wednesday night. Take care; old Washington is going to take the flag on the last grand rally, by having the largest delegation.

HARRODSBURG. Matson denies his free trade speech at Bloomington, and further denies that the Democrats want freetrade, but we take the liberty to quote a short piece from the acknowledged Democratic organ of the State, the Sentinel of Sept 6th, 1884: "Our esteemed cotemporary, the Freeman i well says that "the Times and Journal seem to be unable to understand why it is thfit the Democrats have taken such a bad stand in favor of freetrade. We think we can help them out of their difficulties. The Democrats have discovered that the people want freetrade, and it is on just that issue that they are going to win the election in Indiana," Ac. This is the key to Matson's speech in Bloomington. And yet some even deny its ever being in the Sentinel, but to set ail doubters aright, we may sight them to the issue of Sep. 6th, 4th page column three. We are prepared to prove the above by Democratic evidence. C. D. McLahlau returned from Morgan Co. last Sunday, after making several speeches. The Republicans held a splendid meeting at Fairfax last Saturday night, addressed by W. C. Mason. The meeting was largely attended. Music was furnished by the Harrodsburg Blaine and Logan Glee Club. Mrs. Wm. Freeman accidentally fell and fractured the shin bone, causing her much pain. Charley Johnston may be seen stepping high now its a boy. The Post Office muchly moved this week. Mrs. Mary McConnack, of Waupaca, Wis., and Airs. Lucinda Woodward, of Bloomington, are visiting Mrs. Mary Lowe. Mrs. George Stipp of Clear Creek is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Dr. Louder. Miss Mattie Wallingford was down to see her brother Sunday. Township News concluded on 4th You will miss a bargain if you don't get a pair of "Waker Boots"at McCALLA'S.

One of the most brilliant nssem blages of guests wan that which gathered at the residence of Capi. J. W. Shoemaker Monday evening to help celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Shoemaker's wedding. Quite a number of handsome presents were received The spacious parlors were beautifully deer rated. A novel feature was souvenirs for each gnest; they were two "sweet-hearts" united by tiny bows of white satin libbon. The guests left wishing the hospitable host and hostess a long and happy life. Wednesday night Senator B. F. Treat addressed a very enthusiastic Republican meeting at SI letts ville, that was large. The Senator made a ringing speech and told them of the Ohio victory and every-body was happy. Richand will send in a good account of herself.
