Mr.. Hollaway ships load of hay to
st. Louis to-day and there is quite a
crowd at our village to-day, and the
conversation naturally runs into poll
tics. Our people are solid for the
school district plan; and if the CEN
tral committee will give us that, old
Wilson Township will again respond
with an increased majority. For the
Democratic ticket, think w. II. FL.

was seen eleetioneering near New
Hope Church. Last Saturday,
so. H. went a certain place, not
long since, and little girl asked her
pa who that was; her pa told hel
that was the man that married peo'
pie. The little urchin's eyes few
wide open, and exclaimed, l know
better; that fellow has on a falst
face. The SO. did not tarry long
at that place.

There was a baby on Car of the

more than two feet long, but it had

that baby's capacity?
Well, the train and the baby got

by the way, is most righteous dec

The poor young mother of this
portable noise factory was crimson
with embarrassment, for of course
every passenger looked at her and
seemed to her to say: "Why don't
you shut up that squalling brat!"
Presently a man with long flow
ing beard came up the aisle, ehucked
the baby under the chin, made a
horrid grimace, and simpered, "Da,
da, da, tootle te tooty.''
The baby was crying as loud as ii
could, but this made it cry louder.
Then a woman reached over from
the next seat and whispered some
thing in the mothers ear. Of course,
nobody heard what she said, and
the mother only sat the little one or
her hand and shook her head.
A man across the way said per-
haps there was pin sticking into it
and the baby was tipped and turned
and wapsey'd about until investiga

BRoOkvILLE, IND, September ll.-Ap
Infamous outrage was perpetrated upon
one of our most inoffensive citizens yes
terday morning. Eli Griffith, areputable
piasterer, took contract to do job oil
plastering some time ago, and engaged
Hill Harris to help him with the job.
Yesterday morning the workmen proceed
ed to the house where the work was to be
done. On their way they were met by a
posse OF citizens and Harris was told
that he must leave the town. He asked
what was the matter and was told that
they 'didn't want any more niger work
men in Brookville." They refused to
listen to the expostulations of Griffith
and Harris and repeated their notice .
leave. Both the men then turned and
went to the depot, where they boarded
the next train for Connorsville.
