Booth 4 Bro, owing to the genera
crash of business at the State Capital
have returned to the parental roof
where they propose remaining until
spring opens, or money matters gel
better.
Steve Jones, formerly resident o1
Milton for over thirty years, but now
Of Cincinnati, has been spending a
few days among his relatives. The silk
hat which he manufactures is acquir-
ing the same notoriety that Beard s
celebrated fur hat formerly had.
Also, Little Dick Hubbard as
he is familliarly called, once of this
place, but now of Cadiz, Indiana, is
visiting friends here. He looks thin
and worn out, and though he is 81
years old, and the head of a good
sized family, he only weighs SO pounds,
hat, boots, and clothes included.
Joel Garst. Of California, has been
visiting among us this week, after an
absence of over 18 years, looking as
young and healthy as when he left.
The remains of his wife and two chill
dren lie in the graveyard south of
town. He is farming in the Golden
State, and says that though he has ties
dear to him here, the donation of a
section of land could not entice him
back.
Alexander Jones and his youngest
son, Shuman, have gone on a trip to
Iowa, for the double purpose of yis-
iting relatives and friends, and look
ing after pecuniary investments in
crops and real estate.
James Walker, his sister and niece,
are away visiting in the Wabash
country. The last heard of Walker
he had walked up and gone out on his
brothers farm, and from an elevated
spot was, as he thought, admiring the
beauties OF the rising sun. Night
soon coming on, he discovered that he
had been expatiating on the setting
instead of the rising sun.
Jordan Hiatt, of this vicinity, and
believer in modern spiritualism, has
been attracting some attention by We
hemently opposing Richard J. Hub
bard, of the Orthodox profession, in
his religious faith and practice. Jor-
dan has posted notices challenging
him to public discussion of the sub
Iect, but as yet Richard has not ac-
cepted. Should he do SO, due notice
Of the time and place will be given,
and rare treat may be expected, as
both are experts in quoting Bible
texts.
The early and severe advance of
xinter, added to the stringency in
money matters, has awakened serious
'pprehensions in the community that
many will suffer for the want of nec-
,ssary rations before spring opens.
The fact is, all classes having been liv-
ng too fast, buying too extravagantly,
living too lavishly. and now forced
economy will pinch almost as hard as
'eal poverty. But although the panic
nay bring embarrassment and bank
'uptcy to some, yet the restoration of
confidence, the practice of economy
md industry among the people, will
estore, in due time, the business of
he country to a healthy and prosper
'us condition.
The additional buildings and i'm
'rovements recently commenced at the
ioosier Drill Works, have been tenn
'orarily suspended-not for the want
+ means, but owing to the sudden
ppearance of winter. As soon as the
will permit, the work will be
esumed and pushed to completion.
Among our last items we mention
d some Of the exploits of hunting
arty that went from here out into
tush sounty. This notice coming to
ne ears Of these pretending Nimr DDS,
reated big stir among them as to
Tho Index is, One of them accused
udge Newman of being the guilty
nan, and we, standing at a safe dis
ance, hugely enjoyed the trimming he
ave the Judge. We at once mailed
he Palladium, with this item about
he hunters marked, to some friends in
ne East. 1t has been ascertained from
ne who lives in the vicinity where
hese exploits were performed, that
ne OF the party procured a quart of
drops" at the Cross
loads, which caused many of these
lishaps. At least the question is
.equently asked what they did with
many peppermint drops.
