In a card published in the Bour-
bon Mirror last week, Robert
Schroeder, of North township. ac-
cepts the proposition of II. Barnaby
and others to publicly discuss the
proposition Are the Teachings of the
Old and New Testament Scriptures
true and Of Divine Origin" allowing
Barnaby to fix the time and place for
the discussion. Mr.. Schroeder will
affirm that the Scriptures are true
and OF Divine origin.
commissioner Bsrnaby informs
our readers that an application for
liquor license will not be rejected be-
cause a town or neighborhood de.
mands that it be rejected. He says
the applicant from Argos was refus
ed license because he was not resi-
dent of the township. We have no
rea on, however TO change our opin-
ion in regard to the matter. We have
not particle OF doubt that many OF
the men licensed,,to sell liquors by
the commissioners were no more en-
titled to license than the applicant
from Argos, and IL the citizens OF the
communities in which they are locat-
ed had come forward en- masse with
their objections, they would not have
been licensed.
The boss refrigerator OF the city
has been erected in Blain's grocery
store this week. 1t keeps butter as
solid as in winter and is large enough
to hold all the fruit and berries or
any thing else OF q perishable nature
that a grocer Is likely to have on
hands at one time. 1t fastens on the
outside with heavy iron bar that
fits in a "catch" made to hold it.
Jerry will testify that it will hold, for
before he fairly understood the thing
he went into the refrigerator to put
away some butter and shutting the
door after him found himself fasten-
eel in, and there he had TO remain till
some OF the boys came and released
him. He has it fixed now so it can
not fasten 10y slamming the door.
William Holland, Maj shall coun-
tvs energetic nursaryman. can do
more work and sell more stock In the
same length of time than any other
nLrsaryman between the two oceans
besides this he raises more fine small
fruits than any other man In the
county. Monday lie set out fifty
thousand evergreens and had picked
and shipped twelve bushels OF straw
berries. His berries have been pro-
nounced the finest 10 the Chicago
market this season. He left US a
sample OF the Continental and Gin
derella Monday evening. These
berries were so large that you coud
cut off slices almost like cutting beef
steak, and there are we believe no
finer favored berries In the market.
The festival for the Band on last
Saturday night was net all IL could
have been wished, and yet, consider
ing the weather it was really sue
cess. The attendance was good and
it was very evident that the people
who were there manifested a real In
terest in the welfare OF the Band, or
they would not have ventured out Ia
the unfavorabie weather, that pre-
vailed on the occasion. To the young
ladies and others who volunteered
their services, the members OF the
Band take great pleasure in returning
their sincere thanks, and red.
lie that they are placed under re
newed obligations to all for assist
ance and patronage tina. will not soon
be forgotten. One more concert will
be given by the Band during the
season. -
