MONROE GRIST Commercial Club Was Organized in Hustling Little Town Tuesday. BUSINESS — John Badders, One of the 1 “Hustlers,” Opens Candy and Tobacco Store. Monroe, Ind., Dec. 7—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The business men to the number of eighteen met at the art studio of Will Newlou on last : Tuesday evening for the purpose of I organizing a commercial club to ■ boost this already hustling little town and to better protect its merchants iin a business way. The object of the club is to endeavor to get some kind of factories to locate here and thus | further help to boom this place. Mon- ’ I roe’s citizens are hospitable and are l ever ready to assist all in their power I to encourage any enterprise that may I be looking for a location to establish I ■ a plant of some kind. Monroe has | , two large elevators, one good bank, I one broom factory, a tile mill, one I lumber yard, three coal yards and an : up-to-date garage, and with a machine ’ shop and a few other manufacturing t concerns would make this place one oi the busiest places in the state, let every member of the commercial club put his shoulder to the wheel and ; help to push the work of boosting . Monroe, and. our neighbors will set up and take notice at what can be accomplished by united effort on the I part of those interested. This club is now open to answer all eommuni- ’ cations, through its secretary, Menno ■S. Leichty, cashier of the Monroe 1 State bank, in regard to contemplated I industries seeking a location to erect and conduct their line of manufac ture. The officers elected on Tuesday evening were: A. S. Keller, president; John F. Hocker, vice president; Menno Leichty, secretary,treasurer. These gentlemen are among our leading business men and are hustlers, and with the assistance of the members of the club will certainly be heard from in the near future. ’ Get busy and boost for Monroe. Owing to some misunderstanding i the Modem Woodmen did not hold I their election of officers, hence all rmembets are requested to be present on next Monday night for the purpose of electing officers. A large attendance is desired to be present on that night. Monroe is at present in th- t.v . e-. of a “cheap clothing sale,” !• • ■ iirty from Cincinnati, which, do doubt looks good to some people, but at the same time they e::n doubtless do just as well by patronizing our home merchants and thus keeping the money at home. But nevertheless some people can not be satisfied unless they take in everything that comes along, regardless of consequences. By al! i means, patronize home stores, which cur business men appreciate, and always where you know that you get a I square deal. Our business men want your patronage and by his fair deal ing he endeavors to sell his goods as cheap as any mail order house or traveling concern, which may settle : in a town for a few days. “The Home” cigar, tobacco and candy store at this place, conducted by J. R. Badders, is the new name I given the same, owing to the clean ! home-like appearance. A new awning is being put up and other improvei ments made to make it u.uie couwi;i I ent to the any customers whose trade | “Tho Homo" enjoys. The “Prevaricators' Club” will i meet tn the parlors at “The Home” ! every night this month until further orders. Uy order president.

Bottles Left by Hessians. Two large bottles of Hessian rum 150 years old are among the latest finds of historical experts who are exj cavating In the ruins of old Fort Washington on the Hudson rlvar just above Riverside drive, New York. The excavations are on the site of the Hessian barracks. In what was for a long time known as “Death 1 gulch” from the large number of Hessians who fell tn the rout of Washington’s army from the heights. The rum bottles were found 12 feet under ground. Accomplished In Profanity. I This from Hawaii: “A native woman called on the attorney general | the other day to complain of the bad language used by the child of a neighbor In the presence of her own tots. ‘How old is your neighbor’s child?’ queried the attorney general. ‘About six,’ replied the woman. ‘I shouldn’t think that a child of that age could use much bad language,’ remarked the attorney general. ‘You ought to hear him,’ exclaimed the woman. ‘Why, he can swear just as good as his father.’ ” Protected Against Bores. To save himself from loss of time caused by callers who are a long while in coming to the point, a Paris functionary has put on his office table j a card bearing the words: “Be so good as to abstain from speaking of my health or the weather or of the Bourse quotations, three subjects with which I am perfectly well acquainted. Start at once on the matter that brings you here.” — Difference Puzzled Her. ( Mrs. Gaddy—“There are some dls- ; tinctions in life which are very puz- ' j zling to me.” Professor Pundit —“Like 1 what, for instance?” Mrs. Gaddy—“When you write everything bad and mean In a man’s life in a book for everybody to read, it is biography, but when you just tell the same things to a few people on a front porch, It’s gospip.”—Baltimore American. The Craze for the Weird. The artistic craving today Is for novelty—for new expressions of form and combinations of color, the more strange and weird the better; hence the passing fashion for post-impres-sionism and other kindred cults, In which neither truth nor beauty Is the inspiring motive. —Connoisseur. Beneath the Table. George—“ Didn’t you notice that 1 pressed your foot at the dinner tonight?” Mazie —“Why, it wasn’t my foot you pressed! Oh, George, 1 wondered why mamma was smiling so sweetly at the minister!” —Michigan Gargoyle. Victoria Fond of Jewelry. Queen Victoria, although simple in her tastes, had an almost oriental liking for beautiful and costly jewelry, I Even if she rarely wore it, its possession gave her pleasure and she is reported to have spent hours in looking i over her collection. Master of His House. A traveler coming up to an inn and seeing the host standing at the door, i said, “Pray, are you the master of this house?” “Yes, sir,” answered the landlord; “my wife has been dead these three weeks.” — Not Hard to Die Rich. “In fact, It Is inconceivable what sums may be collected by starving only, and how easy It is for a man to | 'die rich, if he will but be content to live miserable.” —Henry Fielding. Juggling Good Exercise. Juggling has been recommended as a desirable form of mental and physical exercise for persons of sedentary habits and those afflicted with nervous i troubles. An Age Test. You can usually guess within a few years of a woman’s age by noticing , how she takes It when you call her a sylph. Both Deceived. She—“ You deceived me when I married you.” He—"l did more than I that. I deceived myself.”—Boston Transcript. Shed Light on the World. Blessed are the happiness makers, plessed are they who know how to shine on one’s gloom with their cheer. —Henry Ward Beecher. A Cure. Judge—“ Why did you steal the gentleman’s purse?” Prisoner —“I thought ' the change would do me good.”— Washington Star. Tre s for Rocky Mountain*. Hardy trees of Europe are to be i planted on the slopes of the Rocky mountains. The Ideal Woman. Our Ideal of what women ought to bo is changing with dizzy rapidity.— Englishwoman. — Pneumatic Tamper. A pneumatic tamper has been invented for ramming paving stones.
