Representative men from all parts
o; the State attended tie convention
at Dcs Moincs, Iowa, for the promo
ton OF better country roads. The
convention was welcomed by Gov
ernor Boies and Judge f II. Thayer,
of the Clinton -4EC, was made chair
man. Judge Thayer, IN the course
of his address, said:
In The cary days OF the Republic
several millions of dollars were spent
by the Government in building public
roads. When the present system ofra'l
road building was inaugurated the wag
on road gave way to the railroad, until
now the country is sridironed with
rails, and yet to reach the primary
markets to advantage and for one
community 10 do business with an
other, good roads are more essential
than when there were no railroads and
when the Government was engaged
in road building. That the Govern
ment will again turn lis attention to
ass sting the State in building roads
can hardly be a debatable question.
1.-The Constitution provides that
"Congress shall have power to estab-
lish postofllces and postroads." 1t
has appropriated millions of dollars
from the public treasury for establish

What Your Neighbors and Our Neighbors
are Doing, and Other Local
Events Happily Told.
UNIoNToWN.

The happy home of VIM. L. Merritt and wife has
been made more bright and happy by the arrival
of pretty little girl baby. Grandpa Bentley has
patted himself on the back about Il times, and
now states that the announcement of "another
Little grandchld " does not affect him as formerly.
He is getting used to it.
The edict for the installation of Rev. W. J. Nc
Michael, on Octo. 18th, as pastor of the U. P con-
gregation here, was read by Elder A j. Keyser in
church on Sabbath last.
The venerable George Cook, Esq, wellknOwn
in this locality and throughout the county, died at
his home near New Athens on Tuesday morning
of last week, and his funeral took p on Thurs
day. Squire Cook was strong partisan, but a
good neighbor an honest, impartial officer, and in
his younger days man of influence in the CON-
munity, and all remember him kindly.
John Warfield and his daughter, of Princeton,
ILL.,, paid brief visit to our village few days
since. During the prosperous days of Uniontown,
he was one of its most active and enterprising
business men. As a merchant and pork-packer
he did much to build up the business interests of
the town, and will be favorably remembered by
many of the older readers of THE CHRONICLE.
But few of those known to him remain, and his
former place of business had been destroyed by
fire. He is gentleman of wealth and distinction,
and is enjoying happy home.
Mrs. William Pollock, most estimable lady of
this township, is very ill., and her recovery is con-
sidered doubtful.
Misses Mamie Horton and LOtte COffiand, of
New Athens, were the guests of Mrs. Fred Michael
last week.
The school at the "grade," taught by Cliff.
Niehol, was photographed by r. B. Caldwell.
George Michael has purchased bicycle.
Miss Bessie Skadden, a handsome and popular
young lady of Freeport is the guest of her aunts,
Misses Matte and Mary Estep.
Burglars entered the residence of Alfred Mills a
few days since, during the absence of the family,
and took from his pOcket-bOok in the bureau
drawer $40 in note and about 81 80 from the purse
of his little boy. In gaining an enterance they
first pryed up front window with poeket-knife,
but broke the blade, leaving the :broken part un-
der the sash. They then tried the kitchen door,
and succeeded in turning the inside button. They
then, for some reason, made their exit from bed
room window. There is clue that will likely
lead to detection at an early or later date. One
thing IS certain, that they were not professional
burglars and this fact will aid in working the clue
so fortunately attained.
Able Walker and Miss Holloway, of Flushing,
accompanied John Warfiled and daughter on the
occasion of their visit to our village. IL.

THE only danger in this State and
county is feeling of over-coniidence IN
the result of the election. This is
danger and a great danger, too. Eternal
vigilance and activity is the price of
victory, and while both the county and
State are reliably Republican when the
full vote is out. yet to make them safe,
without doubt, the full vote must be out
The issues are of vital Importance, and
it behooves every Republican to be on
the alert. We now have the lead in
county, State and Nation, and we must
keep it. We can not keep it by sitting
down and doing nothing. Every Re-
publican should constitute himself a
committee of one to do at least little
work for the party each day from now
until the election, and when election
day comes, to further see that every Re-
publican voter is at the polls. The cause
of protection and honest money is of too
great moment to the farmer, the trades
man, and the workingman to be allowed
to be lost through default. Work early
and late and by every laudable means,
and the victory which is sure to come
after such efforts will be all the greater.

bus, where they were attending the State Fair

across, and branches of trees on Main street were
blown down, entirely blocking the pavement.
Small trees were uprOOted chimneys blown down,
and such things as boards and straw were hurled
about at a lively gate. In the meantime the light

a half hundred dollars across It's counter. There
was regular drunken revelry, quareling etc., un-

are indignant about the matter, as it was highly
improper, to say the least of it. ME-.

What Are We Striving Forp

Some people say for love, others for
contentment, but the great majority by
word and act declare that they are striv-
ing for dollars for some reason or other;
maybe because they are fond of them;
maybe because they have to have them.
The substance of business maxims is:
Get all you reasonably can when you are
selling-pay as little as you reasonably
can when you are buying. Every one
gets all he can for his products; so we
will not dwell on that point. But every
one does not buy where he can buy the
cheapest. Friendship, local patriotism,
bother and dozen other things go to
make up the reasons why many people
pay more for their goods than they need
to, and none of the reasons hold good.
A small saving on each purchase will
leave balance in the bank at the end of
the year. We claim to be able to save
you a little on each purchase. Take
the trouble to investigate our claims.
1t may pay you. w. c. STILwELL.

To WHAT straits the Democracy is
put for campaign material is shown by
their blind prosecution of Commissioner
Peck. This man who has acceptably
filled the office of Labor Commissioner
of New York for nine years, and who
was recently elected to succeed Carroll
d. Wright, as President of the American
Association of Labor Commissioners, is
being bounded like a criminal by the
Cleveland free traders simply because he
published an official report, which proved
the Democratic platform a falsehocd,
the leading issue of the Democratic
canvass a sham, and Grover Cleveland
a stupid ass.
Peck's prosecution will not help the
cause of Democracy. 1t will help the
Republicans to bring before every voter
in the country those irrefutable statistics
so damning to the claims and to hopes
of the Democratic party.

UNDER the old State Banking system,
which the Democracy now favors, man
had to carry copy of a paper called the
Bank Note Reporter in order to ascertain
whether money rendered him was good.
This he had to do in order tn have any
protection against taking worthless
money. Then hundreds of broken
banks had money in circulation, while
the money of hundreds more was at a
discount varying from l per cent. to 50
per cent. or 90 per cent, Imagine what
it would be to look over list of a
thousand banks to see if a five dollar
bill rendered you was good. Contrast
the difference now when every note has
the government back of it and then ask
yourself if you want to go back to State
Banks.

A DEMOCRAT wrote to the New \ ork
Sun asking if the Democratic platform
declares against all protection, and say
ing if it does that he with Others would
vote against that party. The Suns
reply is unique. 1t admits that the
platform declares for rank free trade but
further says:
.But, our correspondent need not be troubled
by this feature of the Chicago platform 1t was
repudiated on the spot by the s52 members of the
convention who voted against it, while only 5G4
members voted in favor OF it,"
According to this argument, because
one third of the delegates voted against
an open declaration for free trade and
only two-th thirds voted for it, therefore
the Democratic party is not for free
trade. The Sun was always good at
making the worse appear the better side,
but in this case the editor was certainly
suffering under mental strain and took
his correspondent and readers to be
as weak in mind as the argument is
ridiculous.

IT is estimated that million young
men will cast their first vote for Presi-
dent this fall. If these same young
men carefully weigh the principles and
records of parties, they will vote with
the party that stands for America. They
will vote with the party that believes in
protecting American industries, that be-
lieves that labor should not be degraded
by being compelled to compete with the
paupers of Europe, that believes in
American homes. The past, the present,
the future of the Republican party is
glorious and appeals to all men.

GEN. WEAVER, the Peoples Party
candidate for President, was assaulted
with rotten eggs and otherwise ill treated
at several meetings in Georgia. He has
cancelled all engagements there, an
nouncing that freedom of speech does
not exist in that State. Gen. Weaver's
trouble is not our quarrel, but the treat
ment of him shows in its true light the
boasted chivalry and fair mindedness of
the Democratic South. In a Republican
community no speaker, no matter what
political cause he advocated, was ever
ill treated or refused a hearing.

GROVER CLEVELAND has finally writ
ten his letter of acceptance. 1t is after
his usual dull, heavy style and contains
nothing remarkable, except that he, a
third or fourth rate lawyer, reiterates
the doctrine of the Democratic platform
that Protection is unconstitutional. In
this he opposes Henry Clay, Daniel
Webster, Thomas Jefferson, and hum
dred others, beside whom in brain force
Grover Cleveland, the ex-hangman, is
mere pigmy. The letter is short and is
made up largely of Cleveland's charac-
teristic platitudes, and in it he rightly
places the tariff as the leading issue.

TIE Democracy deserves C.

THE Democracy deserves credit for
waking up the Republicans of the
county to effort. The campaign up to
within the last week has been one sided,
but the G. o. p. is at last at work, and
promises to make things hum for the
remainder of the campaign.
