A COPY of the Weekly Gazette for Dec. -8th, )g wanted at this office and25cents will be paid for it.

If "Is there a man with soul ao dead," who luth suffered the miseries of a cough or 'Cold, yet neglected to try, "Sellers' Cough «ynp?"

TB* old saying "opposition is the life of business" has not been sustained in one .instance at least Since the introduction of Dr. Ball's Coagh Syrap all other couch remedies have been dead stock and the weBders are in despan.

KIDDER BROS, have taken out two run fstones and put in eight new sets of the Grey Rollers. They are making the patient flour almost exclusively now, as the improved system they have, enables them to get a much larger per cent of patent llour, than by the old process.

A Rich Joke.

To the Editor of the GAZETTE: A certain young widow on Tippecance street, had her gentlemen company to quit smoking and promised him if he would quit smoking from Thaoksgiving to •Christmas, that she would kiss him on Christmas eve. He sat up until 2 A.M. -and he got the kiss and now he has gone tmoking again.

Few houses in any line of business, have entended their trade all over the entire country as have D. M. Ferry & Co., the celebrated seedsmen, of Detroit, Mich They furnish employment to about 1,000 persons, and keep 60 commercial travel•ers on the road, looking after their inter--etts. They grow on their own seed farms a very large proportion of the seeds they eefl, which is probably cne of the principal reasons why their goods are held in such high esteem *11 over the land. We would advise all our renders teekiug information regarding seeds to send and procure a copy of their new aud beautiful .Seed Annual for 1882.

.* A BOY'S LUCK. The Norristown (Pa.) Herald in a ro--Cent ssue, referred among others, to the following cases of special interest. They are their"own commentary. Mr. Samuel C. Nyce, resides at 308 Marshall street, and holds the responsible position of journal clerk in the Pennsylvania Legislature, at Harrisburg. While Mr. Nyce and family were in the country recently, his boy, aged three years, fell and broke Iiis leg. He recovered, but a very troublesome stiffness sot iu and he could scarcely use the leg. The injured limb was rubbed several times with St. Jacobs Oil, and the stiffness was so much reduced that the

boy

was able to use his legfree-

1/4 ^r* Knipe said it was the use of St. Jacobs Oil that cured the stiffness. Mr. Nyce himself used the Great German Remedy for toothache with good effect, and also lor a sprain and pains of rheumatic nature, and always with good effect Mrs. Nyce also says she thinks the Oil is a splendid thing, and she always keeps it on hand.

OBITUARY.

John fl. O'Boyle.

From Wednesdays Daily.

Our community was startled this morning by the announcement of the death ot John II. O'Boyle, and although it was not an unexpected event, yet he ha?, for a quarter'{ a century, occupied so prominent a iilitcu in all the important affairs of thi.-i city, his death seemed to oppress the entire community.

No citizen of Terre Haute was more respected or useful. Hardly a single movement was inauo crated in which the city's in'erest wtid to be advanced, but he appenrti] as a prominent leader. He was «ver icady to give his best efforis for the general good. Possessing in an uncommon degree a clear head and sound judgment his council was always f-ought and univeivully followed. No man in Terre Hautf possessed the confidence of its entire people aud uo man had a reputation for stricter integrity or more disinterested friendship. Ho was as unselfish as Lo was siricily honest. He goes to his grave without one spot on his home, or one •enemy to rejoice at his going. He lived fully up to the maxim: "Mine honor is my life both grow in ono Take honor from ice, and my life is done."

Not ambitious for political place or ipower, yet Mr. O'Boyle filled many of the most important positions in our city's ..government, and only ceased to fill more when his large business interests de* manded all hit time. Starting in life unaided and alone, by habits of economy and industry lie built op a large fortune, and dies leaving tof his family a hand--some competence. As a business man, he leaves an example worthy of imitation —as a good citizen he was inferior to •none—as a husband he was most kind and considerate and as a father loving -and indulgeni. There is hardly a walk in the business or social affairs of this -city, in which he will not be missed. So •cial, companionable and familiar, he drew around him a wide circle of warm .friends and intertionally never made an enemy. What more can be said of any itoan—what leas can we say of John H. 'O'Boyle

Mr. O'Boyle was horn on the 10th of January 1812 and was theiefore a few -days over seventy years of age. His -placc of birth was Frederick county, Virginia and he came to the West in 1836 and to Terre Haute in 1850. He first lo-cated-at Middletown, in Vigo county and in 1888 moved to Merom. Sullivan couo*ty, and from there moved to this city and commenced the business which he piw'CUted so successfully up to the time ot his death. His business though

first

-small to ccjTespood with the demands of -a small town, inert a*ed with the growing advancement of Terre Haute, uuil ni w'it lif one of the lari. e$t wholesale and retail establishments in the city. He was always up with the times and never lacked confidence ?u the future of the city he had done so macli to advance. He loved Terre Hu»*te and Terre Haute loved him, and now thit he is goue from us ferever may we forgot all that ought to be forgotten and remember the many good qualities-of iiis heart and his head. 1* .. m*.

A Change in the Oanstitttlioa—Xltetion,

Be.

From Satoiday's Daily.

At ten o'clock this morning the Vigo County Agricultural Society met at the Council Chamber and heard the annual reports. The report of Secretary Wallace is of especial interest and is herewith given in fall. ,rl*

Tmi HAUTE, IMP., Jan. 2, 1892. To the stockholders of the Vige Agricultural Society,

Gentlemen:—In compliance with the requirements of*our organization, I herewith submit for your approval the annu al report of the society ror the year just closed:

The grounds which are used for fair purposes are the 1 r.»perty of Vigo county and comprise a little over 51 acres. They were purchased iu 1867, the year in which the State fair was held here, at a cost of $175 per acre, and were leased to this society on the 18th of October of that year, for a period of twenty year, rent free, the society binding itself to hold a fair on it annually. All the improvements,fencing excepted, belong to the society and may be removed upon the expiration of the lease but as the grounds were purchased for the present purposes, it is not probable that it will ever become necessary to remove anything from them.

The capital stock of the society consists of 400 shares of $25 each, none of which has been disposed ot below par value by the society. During the year just closed, twenty-eight shares were sold, and the proceeds devoted to improvements.

The society is in debt to the extent of $1,500. Of this amount, $750 was borrowed to pay premiums in full at the fair of 1881 the remaining $750 is the old debt reported at the last annual meeting. Ln making preparations for the fair last year, the board of directors thought it would be very much to the advantage of the society to pay the premiums in full, and so ordered. The experience of paying the expenses of the lair and dividing the remainder among the exhibitors pro rata has resulted disastrously. People coming from a distance with stock and merchandise to be placed upon exhibition, at least like to have compensation sufficient to meet their expenses. They do not like |to attend fairs which do not bind themselves to pay anything at all hence the changs. While it is true that-the fair of 1831 wae not A financial success, there are several good reasons for it, and all things considered, the result has been very gratifying. The drought of last summer has been almost unparallelled in the history of the country. The cereal crop was thort, and fruits and vegetables were almost an unknown quantity. Feed was scarce, and in many instances, water had to be hauled milts for the use of man and beast. Under such circumstances it is a wonder that the exhibition assumed the proportions which it did. This accounts for the falling off in the number of entries in the live stock, crain, vegetable and fruit departments. However, the exhibit was a creditable one, and the quality of the exhibition was, in most respccts, superior to that of former years. The elements also contributed their share to mar the success of the fair. The day usually moit successful was one of rata throughout, and not a dollar wa) taken in. Had the day been fine, there is every reason to believe tfiat the fair would have been a success financially, and the director* would have had a btlauce on hand to carry over to the next year's account but as the nfutter now stands they have no cause to regret their determination to pay the premiums in full as they are satisfied that it is the only manner in which the fair can be made a succes?.

It is also the policy of the directors to improve the grouads in a substantial manner when ever the means at their command will allow it. Last year several steps re taken in this direction. The old amphitheater was in a condition which rendered it dangerous. The society could not afford to replace it, but granted the right to the Vigo Amphitheatre company, who have er cted substantial and useful structure at cost of2,500, which is to be turned over to the society as soon as the company has reimbursed itself, through receipts, lor the outlay. A fine art hall was erected so constructed that it can be enlarged When the. necessity requires it. The remainder 6i, the money expended last year was for repairs. Next y»*ar it is proposed to ferect a power hall, and if the the society could bear the expense it would be good idea to place in it machinery sufficient to furnish all the power which would be required by exhibitors.

Last year the grounds were pot rented. The society placed a man npon them to look after them, who received as compensation hia house rent. Through picnics and celebrations the grounds brought the society $209.50.

The plan of charging 10 per cent, entrance fee on both premiums for each entry was continued last year and worked well. The complaint of last year that the exhibitors in very many cases would not stand it was not experienced at our last fair, and but few refused to make entries on that eround.

The policy of allowing other societies to take charge of general departments has been continued and is successful. The Poultry and Pet Stock Association had charge of that depaitment and was permitted to make out its premium list. The Horticultural Society had charge ot the fruits, flowers, bread, cakes, etc.

The special premium list last ear was ano-her success!ul feature of the"fair, and one which should be encouraged, ln this manner our businessmen cfmtributed $160 merchandise and $447 in pre miums, for which there were 289 entries.

For serwal years the ate fees have been stead'ly decreasing. At the last fair they were $1,622 82 in 1880, $2,049 54 and in 1879, $3,395 02. The decrease this year was caused by the weather, the unpromising condition of tne crops, and the gloomy feeling throughout

From Monday's Daily..

Saturday the GAZETTE contained a full report of the annual meeting of the V'iro County Agricultural Society, but, through mistake, some amendments to the constitution presented by Mr. Joseph Gilbert were omitted. The first of these provides for the election of six directors each year to serve two years, the object being to prevent sndden changes in the board. In the election Saturday six were elected for two and six for one year.

The other amendment changed the time of annual meeting from the second Satui day in January to the second Saturday in November.

The election of diiectors resulted as follows:

OBITUARY.

RALPH L. THOMPSON.

This community was inexpressibly shocked. Sunday, to learn ot the sudden death cf R. L. Thompson, which occurred a half hour after noon. He had been sick for two or three weeks, but no later than Friday bad gone to his mill, and no serious apprehensions touching his condition were fell. His brother, Dr. J. C. Thompson, had visited him Sunday morning and left the house at 11 o'clock, only an hour and a half before bis death, and at that time there was no reason to expect a fatal termination of his complaint. At half past twelve, with only a few premonitory symptoms of extreme suffering, the rheumatism, which had before been confined to his lower iioibs, mounted to th,e citadel of life, »md, in the giant clulcli of the fell destroyer, the noble heart that beat responsive to every generuus impulse was stilled forever.

Mr. Thompson was born at Bolton, England, eleven mile« northwest ot'Manchester, iu Lancashire, July 30, 1817. He came of sturdy £nglish stock and in form and face and figure'was a splendid type of physical manhood. He came to this country in 1829. ncinnati was for a time Jbis home and later he lived at Dayton, where he was married. In 1850 be came to Terre Haute and this placc has been his home continuously ever since He has been engaged in milling here for nearly the whole of that time and his ousiness record is an important part of the best history of the manufacturing and commercial enterprise of our city. He has been one of the prominent citizens of the place and identified with nearly every movement which has served to advance the best .i^c^^o^thejiome of his adop-

Afr. Thompson was alargeHieartcd and a kindly man, both jubt and generous Every good work found him leadv to lend a helping band. Actively engaged in business for many yews the reputation he bore among all his associates was that of an upright and an honorable man. fti valry in business never made him forgetful of or induccd him to ignore the rights of others. The success of others did not make him envious, but rather inspired him to make greater effrristo excel. T^his was not only his business character bm it was his personal and social character as well, for he I ad but one code of ethics and one religion and that he bore about with him always aud everywhere. What he b» cvea to be right he perserved in doing vi lis sturdy rmud. of purpose which kiiow neither deviation nor shadow of turni. g. Few men v-r enjoyed the coulWencu aud esteem of his associates and acquaintances so thorougnly and omplettly. To know l.im at all was to res pec 1111 for tue sterling qualities of his character an'l( 10 know kim well was to esteem him highly for bis man* admirable attributes as a citizen, as a husband, as a father and as a friend.
