DAILY, SUNDAY And WEEKLY.
The Most Complete Newspaper
in all Departments in the
State of Indiana.

No newspaper in the West is moro
widely or more favorably known than
the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL. By the
display of enterprise and strict attention
to the wants of the reading public, dur
ing the great campaign of 1888, it has
taken leading position among the most
prominent journals of the country, and
is certainly among the best. Among the
newspapers of the State it is pre-emi-
nently the best, and Indiana readers can
nowhere else find what they want in the
way of State and local news. 1t circu-
lates largely in every county in Indiana,
and has correspondents in every town
and village of Importance. Its market
report are prepared with the greatest
care possible, and no pains or expense
are spared to make them accurate and
absolutely reliable. tits the only news
paper In the State ewning and publish
ing all the news furnished by the two
great press associations (the Western
Associated Press and the United Press,
in addition TO which it furnishes an
abundance of special service from all
the principal cities of the country. 1t
has been, and will in future be, the aim
of the publishers to make the INDIANAP
OILS JOURNAL a perfect and complete
newspaper, deficient in no department
or particular. The paper challenges
comparison with any of its contempo-
raries.
No Indiana reaf r, certainly no In
diana Republican, sr Id be without the
Journal. While thoroughly and
soundly Republic n politics, devoted
to the interest of the Republican party
the JOURNAL will not allow its news 70
be collored by partisan bias, but will
give the news of the day without fear or
favor.
Owing to the prominence of Indiana
in the next administration, the JOURNAL
will give particular attention to Wash
ngton news, which will be given far
more completely than ever before. For
this reason, if for no other, no Indiana
reader can afford to be without it for the
next four years.
In addition to its new features, the
JOURNAL regales its readers with tho
productions of some of the best known
literary men and women of the day.
Many of the most celebrated magazine
writer's and authors are contributors to
itsliterary columns, making it apaper for
the household and home circle. Special
arrangements have been made for feat
ures of this character, which will appear
in the JOURNAL during the coming year.
These appear most largely in tho
SUNDAY JOURNAL, which is a special
edition, and can be subscribed for and
received exclusive of the DAILY
JOURNAL.

WHAT IS YOUR CONDITION.

OUR best information is that our
Ofarmers generally will use less
commercial fertilizers than for years;
that they are economizing in every
way and are sowing more grass,
clover, wheat and oats, and will plant
more largely of provision crops than
they have done perhaps since the war.
We published a list Of questions in
last weeks paper bearing directly on
these matters which we trust will be
duly considered in every County ALI
ance in the State on next Friday and
answered. If these answers shall sus-
tain the reports we have received it
will be a most gratifying and en-
~couraging showing and will mark a
grand achievement for the Alliance.
If, by any possibility the Alliance shall
bring our farmers back to the golden
farm-rule of making their farms self:
sustaining, it will have achieved greater
and more glorious things for the ir-
dependence of the South than could
be accomplished by all the political
parties and all the legislation, State
National, for a hundred years to come.
Will the County Alliances tell the
brethren throughout the State how
we r moving along this line? Let
us hear from you.
