Yesterday afternoon a well-dressed
stranger walked into Dan Adams's drug
store and called for a five-cent cigar,
which was given him. The stranger pro-
duced a fifty-cent shin-plaster and told
the clerk to take out his pay. 1t was
as bright and unsoiled as if it had just
come off the plate The fact that this
kind of currency had gone out of circu-
lation many years ago made the clerk
hesitate in accepting it. He submitted
the paper to a bank official, who pro-
nounced ii good money. The purchaser
who rendered the shin-plaster to him
had quite a roll of currency of that de-
nomination and said that he had gotten
it from an old man who was collector
Of obsolete paper money. He was &C
companied by another young man and
another much older in appearance.-Co-

Fifty-two years ago John Sincebaugh
arrived in this city. On what is now
the public square he ate his first break
fast in this county. He was then TWEEN
ty-one years of age. He drove through
the swampland, as it was then called,
and settled southwest of the city on
what is now known as the Burris Moore
farm. When n short distance over the
river, he discovered young deer in the
new roadway just a ahead of him and
killed it. On the following day, when
out with his gun, he shot and killed
rattlesnake that Ind nineteen rattles
and a button. These incidents in Mr.
Sincebaugh's life are as fresh in his
mind now as on the 22d day of July,
fifty-two years ago. 1t was on that day
that Mr.. Sincebaugh took dinner at the
home of the father Of Mrs. John God
frey, and today he dined with Mrs. God
frey.-COlumbus Republican.
Wonder if it has ever been observed
by the leaders and committees of the
democratic party that their opponents
are doing a great deal of missionary
work and distributing broadcast their
leading newspapers at a nominal cost,
and sometimes at no cost at all? Has
it been observed that a Chicago paper
and the Newport Hoosier State can be
had for SIZE. which makes the former
only % cents year? Further, has it
been observed that with local demo-
cratic newspaper the Chicago republican
paper is furnished absolutely free of any
charge? What does it mean? 1t means
that the republicans are determined to
put their reading matter into democratic
homes. even if it be done at sacrifice.
What is the democratic party doing to
Offset this move? Nothing on earth land
two places they Will learn to their
row that ii will not affect future cleo
tons on this mundane sphere Clinton
