Thanks to Mr. Aaron Chapman for a basket of fine apples. A new coat of paint adorns the front of Martin’s resturant. Everybody should corne to Decatur next Saturday, August 14th. Thanks to Samuel Winans, of Ladore, Kansas, for a splendid eating apple. * There was plenty of work for the marshal last Saturday night; but he was not th ar ! Wheat is bringing a good price in this market, compared with the prices paid elsewhere in this section. As the campaign approaches so does the liveryman’s countenance brighten up with smiles of satisfaction. Geneva, this county, is a very pleasant little village, and her business men are alive to the wants of the people. Dr. Tanner completed his forty days fast and is now stuffing himself with watermelon, beefsteak and tomatoes. John Hale is doing an immense business at Geneva. His steam elevators beat anything we have in Decatur. A complimentary notice of the normal by a student, was received last week after the paper had gone to press. There is a shocking case of misplaced 'confidence in town. The youngster should brace up and look elsewhere. It is said there are fully two hundred Republicans in Wabash county. Cowgill’s home, who will not only not vote for Steele for congress but will vote for Gen. Slack. The editor of the Monroeville Democrat took an overdose of morphine last Sunday evening, it is said with suicidal intent. This should be a warning to delinquent subscribers. On last Saturday a son of Mr. W. Filling, of Root township, was thrown from a colt, resulting in a fractured arm. Dr. Freeman was immediately called and adjusted the fracture. Thompson, of the Geneva Triumph, has the neatest little engine we ever saw in a print shop; and besides, he has a son who is a successful rival of the world-renowned Nast. If you want to hear one of the best speeches you ever heard in all your life eome to Decatur Saturday and hear Capt. Hillegass, of Huntington. He is as interesting a speaker as we ever listened to. Mr. Steele, the Republican candidate for congress from this district, is not meeting with much favor in Adams county. He has been here all week and the better element of his party refuse to enthuse under his standard. Till', temperance meeting announced in last week’s Democrat for Kover’s hall this evening has been postponed till to-morrow (Friday) evening in the court House. Come out and hear a “Brother s Inquest over a Brother s Grave, by Prof. F. A. Clancy. The artist, Mr. C. T. Dorwin, has placed in our office for a few days an India ink portrait of Mr. Joseph Spuller, deceased. While we are not much of a judge of that kind of work we do, nevertheless, unhesitatingly say it is the finest and best of the kind we have seen. Our idea of a picture is, that if natural it is a good picture, and Mr. Dorwin s portrait of Joseph Spuller is, we believe, as natural as a picture can be. All who have seen it, and especially those who knew him intimately pronounce it perfect. The picture will remain in The Democrat office for a few days.

A real soaking rain would bring the corn out in pretty good shape. Elder Lampton paid a touching and eloquent tribute to the deceased at the burial of Dr. Jelleff. He had been a neighbor to him for some time past, and knew him well. He also on behalf of Mrs. Jelleff. extended her heartfelt thanks to the generous friends who had so nobly stood beside her in the dark hours of her bereavement.— Denton Monitor, July 23. Attention. ItemocratHl There wil’ be a pole raising at Pleasant Mills on Friday evening, (to-mor-row) Aug. 13, 1880. Judge Bobo and J. T. France are announced for speakers. Let there be a good turnout. Tuning. If any of our readers have an organ that needs tuning or repairing they would do well to call on Prof. Armen while he is here, as he is an expert at tuning and will be very reasonable in his charges. * 2w Burglars Again. Last night the dwelling houses of two of our prominent citizens, John P. Quinn and John B. Holthouse, were entered by burglars and money, jewelry and watches came up missing. At Holthouse's they got Mrs. H.’s full set of jewelry and some money, in all valued at about S6O. At Quinn’s they got a handsome hunter case gold watch and several dollars in money, the exact amount we did not learn. These losses, from a pecuniary standpoint, are not so great, but either Mr. Quinn or Mr. Mr. Holthouse would rather have lost the value of the jewelry and watch than to have lost the articles them Selves. Mr. Quinn’s watch was one he had carried for several years, and he prized it very highly as a valuable timepiece. And the jewelry taken from Mrs. Holthouse was prized very highly as much of it was presented to her in honor of her marriage. So far as we know there is no clue to the burglars, but one thing is certain: If they are captured and proven guilty the punishment for such offences will be mircilessly applied. Many of our citizens believe a search warrent would result in the finding of the stolen goods. <«ala Day at Fort Wayne. On Monday, August 23, the great Forepaugh show, which for almost a quarter of a century has been acknowledged to be the most magnificent menagerie, museum and circus combination in this country, is to exhibit afternoon and evening at Fort Wayne. Note a few of its special features, which will surely be exhibited, and which have never been previously seen in this country : Fifteen performing elephants—a sight in itself worth going a hundred miles to see. A human being shot from a monster cannon. This seeming incredible act is actually performed. Fifteen hundred rare animals and birds in the great menagerie, including the wonderful hippopotamus, rhinoceros, sea lions, and hundreds of equally rare animals. Trained lions, tigers, giraffes working in harness, and performing dogs, goats, monkeys, mules, horses and other animals. A great circus in two separate rings, with one hundred distinguished performers. Horses riding through tire. Zuila crossing the high wire, sixty feet in mid air, blindfolded and with feet in sacks, and riding a velocipede across the slender wire. The wonderful electric light, which illuminates all the tents, and is to be seen afternoons as well as evenings. Grand balloon ascension from the ground. The wonderful nursing baby elephant. Fifty trained Arabian horses, and a long list of similar rare and wonderful features not to be seen in any other show and only in Forebaugh’s. and any single one of which is worth all that is required to visit the entire exhibition. The grand, gorgeous street parade will take place between the hours of 9 and 10 o’clock, on the forenoon of exhibition day. Reduced rates and excursion trains will be arranged for from all parts of the county.
