TowN TAXES As will be seen by
report in another column the town
board has adopted an ordinance fix
ing the taxes for next year in the
town at 80 cents on each 800. II
the Board is in earnest in its inten-
ton to begin the construction OF
water works next year, It should
yet levy al least 80 cents on the
800 as "A special water works tax.
This would provide fund in cash
which would help materially to Sc
cure low bids for construction, and
to bring the necessary bond issue
within the two per cent. constitu-
tional limit.

INsAxE.-Mrs. NJ. A. Corner
was brought to Jasper from Duff on
Saturday last, and an inquest by
DIR. j. =. Salb, and Esqs. Zoeller
and Fink found her violently in
sane, and she was committed to jail
to await admission to the Southern
Insane Hospital. Sunday morning
she broke IA window-lights i'm her
room at the jail, and was making
an effort to destroy the furniture
when Sheriff Traylor persuaded her
to stop. She threatened the Sheriff
at first, and told him not to enter
the room or she would kill him, but
was finally coaxed into submission,
and destructible things taken out of
the room. She was an inmate Of
the Hospital at indianapolis TWEEN
ty-two years ago, and was dis
charged cured, and has been harm
less and generally sensible during
that time, though she now has m
insane daughter in the Hospital,
and had one son thcse, and another
is in the States Prison ut Jefferson
vile. Her ease is an evidence in
favor Of the theory that wcak-mind-
ed persons should not he allowed to
marry. She was taken to the
Southern Hospital Thursday morn
ing by Sheriff Traylor and Mrs.
Wuchner.

The Populists will hold their
county convention at the court
house in Jasper tomorrow at 2
O'Clock p. m, and say they are 60
ing to have some 'big speaking"
Every man has right to his opin-
ion and vote, but the COURIER be-
lieyes these people are on wrong
tack. The Democratic party has
always been the best friend Of the
People, and the Populists should
all join it, and help keep traitors to
its time-tried and honored prin-
ciples from getting into positions Of
trust in il. The mistakes 1892
should not be repeated.

An Enjoyable Day.

Last Saturday the Sabbath School
Union meeting at Bethel church, il
Madison township was very largely
attended, Notwithstanding the dusty
roads, and heartily enjoyed by all
Nine schools-Bethel, Hillsboro
Jasper, New Lebanon, Traylor's
Flat Creek, Vinson, Orwell anc
Ireland were in attendance, besides
many persons from other localities
There was probably thousand peo-
pie in the beautiful shady grove
adjoining Bethel church. The ex-
ercises were opened with few APP
propriate remarks by Rev. Mr..
Jeffr.es, on the good results OF
Sabbath School work, and the last
ing impressions made on young
minds. Then Rev. j. A. Bean in
voked Divine blessing on the assem-
bly, and the exercises. The invoca-
ton was followed by singing by
each Of the schools in rotation, and
the leafy bowers marked time to
the cadence and volume Of some
extra fine vocal music, and poeti-
cally inclined natures could easily
imagine that it was participated in
by angelic hosts on high, as well
as the beautiful angels Of some Of
the schools. The singing was con-
tinued until recess of two hours
was announced for dinner. By
general appreciation the Flat Creek
school, from Pike county, bore the
honors Of having the best trained
singers. That choir was composed
of about twenty very thoroughly
drilled singers, and it was well
worth all the annoyance Of the dust
in going, to hear them sing.
A prettier sight is rarely seen
than thousand people in pictur-
esque groups, scattered through 20
acres Of fine woods, around an
Of the luxuries Of the
land, Of which everyone is hospita-
bly, urged to partake freely, and
the merry peals Of laughter and
Jokes from 30 or 40 such groups
around white table cloths spread on
the grass, and covering over the
pestiferous chiggers and ants, will
convince anyone that the much
talked Of ''hard tines is not OPP
pressing that locality, and that the
Good Lord is blessing them with
cheerful hearts and generous dispo-
sitions. No one there was permit
ted to be hungry that day, or forget
that God was good them.
When the people were called to-
gather again in the afternoon, Rev.
Mr.. Corn opened the exercise with
an address, followed alternately by
singing and recitations by repre-
sentatives from the several schools.
The exercises closed with the an
nouncemcnt Of the awarding Of a
handsome picture to the Vinson
school, Of Pike county, for having
the largest average per cent. Of en-
rollment i'm attendance during July,

cned by a Confederate force eager for it's
racaDturc. The Federal garrison holding the
place was commanded by Brigadicr General
Thomas williams Of Michigan who had
graduated at West Point in 1887, and had
sayyad with distinction ii the artillery
through the Mexican and Seminole wars.
General Williams Yas gallant officer Of
the old school. Desiring to save the citizens
OF Baton Rouge from the risk Of life and de-
struction Of property that would attend IN

rGlinquish the advantage Of protection which
the houses would afford aud accordingly On
August 5th, marched his troops out into the
open country to meet tho enemy. The Fed

perplexing, involving points that Captain
Kensel had never been called upon to solve
before, and for the solution OF which neither
tho army regulations nor the articles OF war
furnished any clue. Ho was accordingly
forced to return to Gen. Buffers headquart-
ers and report the obstacle that had pre-
vented his carrying out his orders for
tho funeral. General Butler percmptorly
ordered him 10 have the escort charge,
with fixed hayonets, upon the occupants
of the church and 'forcC On entry. Return

ceiyed, and while he expressed his extreme
reluctance to resort to such harsh measures,

must obey his orders. Drawing ont his
watch no named an interval within which

retreat on the part of the feminine invaders,
and the religious services having been por-
formed without further interference, General

peaceful resting place.
