A ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The name Of Hon. D. A. Hollngsworth, of Har-
rison county, will be presented for nomination at
the approaching Republican Convention of the
Sixteenth District.
His ability and fitness for the position are well
known and recognized in the district, and it is
conceded that if elected to Congress he will take
high rank from the first.
Besides, Harrison county has not been honored
with congressional nomination since 1870; and,
meantime, her Republican voters have in turn
aided in the election to Congress OF Danford of
Belmont, Updegraf, of Jefferson, Taylor, of Car
roll and, at all times, have given royal support
to the other nominees of the party. Other things
being equal the unwritten rule Of rotation i'm the
district should now be observed in favor of Har-
risOn county.
Mr.. Hollingsworth is an intelligent, self-made
man, well Informed on the vital questions of the
tarl currency and labor, and is in full touch and
sympathy with all classes of the people.
As private soldier he served his country
faithfully in actual war, as active working Re-
publican his record is unblemished, and as pri-
vate citizen, his character and integrity are lIn-
assailable. The Republicans OF Harrison county
feel that he has earned promotion.
No special canvass of the district will be made
in his interest but it is confidently hoped that his
candidacy will receive that fair and Just consider
alton which should always characterize Republic
an action.

The Oldest Grapeyine.

The oldest grapevine in the country
was indeed interesting. One growing
near this, which was known to be more
than 80 years old, died finally of good
old age and was purchased and trans
ported in its entirety to the Chicago
fair. This one is AZ to 90 years of age
and hale and hearty yet. At the base it
is SO inches in circumference. 1t grows
straight up for about 8 feet, then di-
vides into six branches, and at this
point is feet in circumference. At a
height of perhaps feet it spreads itself
in all directions over an immense arbor
covering space by actual measurement
of rs by 66 feet 1t bears in one season
$500 pounds of the purple mission
grape, of which no use is made except
as it is eaten and given away by its
owner to any one who will take it

One of the DELIGHTS of Life.

When old Kaiser Wilhelm was still
Prince of Prussia, he had one day at
Babelsberg, near Potsdam, his beautiful
and ever favorite residence, visit from
that prince among landscape gardeners,
Furst Hermann Won Puckler- -Muskau,
who somewhat bluntly expressed his
disappointment at the slow rate of prog
ress in certain improvements in the
grounds-improvements which he had
himself suggested on the occasion Of q
previous visit The future emperor plead
ed his limited means. "But does your
royal highness never borrow money"
queried Prince Puckler, evidently much
amazed. Never, my dear prince, was
the smiling reply. 'Then your royal
highness has never tasted life's greatest
delight-to wit, the pleasure Of finding
yourself able to pay your debts, after
allp'-Chicago Tribune.

Politeness means much. A cable cal
was humming up Broadway and collid-
ed with an express wagon at Tenth
street. o. your eyesi yelled the
driver. d your own eyes!" an
swered the gripman, after which the air
was blue with profanities and vulgari-
ties, which ought to have resulted in
some head punching, and probably
would had it not been for the interfer-
ence of policeman, who, oddly enough,
turned up at the right time. After that
everybody went along out of temper,
cross, red faced and ruffled. Not long
after that hack was rumbling along
Fourteenth street and nearly upset a
light wagon in which two young sports
were speeding. The pole of the hack
caught between the spokes of the wagon
wheel and would have caused consider
able damage, but the quick eye of one
of the young men saw the danger. "Ah,
there, Johnniep' said he good natured-
ly. Look out, old man, or you II break
your stick" The hackman answered in
the same vein, and-away they went,
laughing, each about his own affairs.

If there were wool trust wool inter
ests would have received some consider
alton at the hands of the Democratic
statesmen now moulding a tariff bill.
Democratic Senators could not speculate
on wool the same as on sugar, hence
wool gets no protection, while the sugar
trust gets all it asks for. Will the wool
growers endure this without protesting
by means of their ballots next fall?
