Government to Purchase Bonds'
A very mysterious circum
stance is said to have occured
near Commiskcy, Jennings co.
Ind., Sunday night, July 24th.
About five months ago tho peo-
ple of that neighborhood conclu-
ded to build a Baptist church,
as most of them were of that
faith. A collection was taken
up and the lumber procured.—
For a time the work progressed
smoothly, until it came to the
raising of a largo beam, which
was ihte"ndcd to uphold tho raft-
ers of the structure. A derrick
large enough could not bo pro-,
cured and the work stopped.
During the summer nights the
farmers have frequently, met to
discuss somo moans of raising
the beam, but nothing was done.
On last Monday morning, how-
ever, it was discovered that the
beam had been placed iu posi-
tion during tho night by some
unknown agency. Hundreds of
people, says the Louisville Com-
mercial, gathered about the
place, and thp miracle, if such it
may be termed, has created great

gates about $20,000,000 and tho
sinking fund requires about
$47,000,00, of which nearly $20-
000,000 lias been redeemed iti 8
percent bonds. The secretary
say tho anticipation of interest is
ordered on account of the largo
revenues and accumulation of
surplus.
While the offer to purchase
bonds is simply tho best plan
suggested for meeting tho ro-1
quirements of the sinking'
fund law, the secretary
believes tho offers made will
bo taken advantage of ex-
tensively, and if they are not it
will bo an ovidence that money
is not greatly needed. At any
rate this action relieves tho ad
ministration of tho responsibility
for moner-stringency, as it offers
in this way all tho reliof sanc-
tioned by law.—N. O. States.
Keep clear of personalities in
general conversation. Talk of
things, objects, thoughts. Tho
smallest minds occupy themsel-
ves with personalities. Person-
alities must sometimes be tnlked
because wo have to learn and
find out man's characteristics for
logitimate objects but it is to be
with confidential persons. Do
not heedessly roport ill of others.
There aro times when wo aro
compellod to say, "I do not tlilrilc
Bouncer a true and honest man."
But where there is no need to
express an opinion let poor
Bouncer swagger away. Others
will take his measuro no doubt,
and save you the troublo of ana-
lyzing him and instructing them.
And as far as possible dwell on
tho good side of human beings.
