Trout's Salt River nonsense has cost him several good subscribers. But don't cry. darling, your brain power will not be overworked again for many years. I’ou and the beardless youth can smile and smile and be happy over your own productions. .‘.’“Decatur s Ulcer" was the subject of Rev. Carnes' sermon last Sunday night. He argues that the saloons are the town’s ulcer, but The Dcmocrat has in it * mind s eye another kind of an ulcer that must be condemned ere the town is is the high-road to a point where ail good towns desire to go. : ?The beardless youth is accused of encroaching upon much of the not veCv valuable space to be found in an eight by ten hebdouia 'al presided over by one Dal Trout. The i. y. (beardless youth) stould like awful well to be funny on paper, but God willed that he could only ho funny when trying to talk in a country school house. A prominent Republican of Wabash says ‘ Let the Chinese come they have aright to a home in America, and they would make just as good citizens as the B—d Dutch and Irish." And the worst of all is that thousands of these same -d—d Dutch and Irish " voted that the Chinese may come by the million. American labor will only learn by experience We Give it Up.—This office is in receipt of a communication, probably written by some person residing in the west part of the county, as it was mailed at Bluffton, that comes near being a stunner for the writer hereof. The writer of the strange epistle signs him or herself “A Bystander,' and wants to know of The Democrat editor what he thinks of a man or men who will go to a widow woman's sale and run her property up cn her. As will be seen, the question is a stunner. If he bene-

fits the widow by running the property p up! she should take him under her a prob cting wings and-smile on him, but ' c if i property is “run up" for the pur- t pose of embarrassing the widow he abould be run through a threshing machii e and then plastered on the out- • jiuspf a widow woman's barn door as t t to others that way inclined., 1

I Beautiful snow. Topsy to-morrow eight. The Decatur bund is i thing of tie ' past. Lucie Turn’s Cabin at Kover’s toj morrow night. Judge Bobo is holding court in Wells county. Don’t fail to see the Rescue of little ‘■Red Riding Hood." Trip the light fantastic to-morrow night at Pythian hall. Seventeen inches of snow fell at Traverse City last Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Man Woods have returned from a visit to Pennsylvania. Mrs. Hiskey has gone to Flat Rock, Ohio, where her father is lying near to death’s door. Remember the juvenile operetta to be given on Thanksgiving evening at Kover’s ha’l. S. W. Skeels, formerly of Geneva, this county, is practicing law at Lake City, Michigan. The Geneva girls, we are informed, contemplate establishing a whistling school a- that place soon. The New Corydon correspondent to the Portland Commercial is a bigger fool than Thompson's colt. Adams county first, then the whole world. Remember this when you are thinking of subscribing for a paper. John Kelly, the betrayer of his party, passed over the Pan Handle last week. He was en route to Ch’cago. The amusing operetta, ‘ Red Riding Hood’s Rescue,” with fifty or sixty juvenile voices, will be given at Ko ver’s Hall on Thanksgiving evening. A cordial invitation is extended to all to be present at the Presbyterian parsonage Tuesday evening, November 23d. Occasion, donation for the minister.

Mr. McDowell, Democratic elector for this district, was in town last week. Me. thinks the Democracy not dead—but sleeping. And The Democrat can add that it is a sleep that will surprise the Republicans one of these pleasant days. B. H. Dent has purchased three lots of J. Powers at Boyne Falls, through which runs a small spring brook. Mr. Dent is a lover of rustic scenery and will no doubt make a handsome summer resort out of his property. He intends making a trout, pond which will be supplied with water from the brook. —Boyne City Enterprise. Mason & Hamlin organs can be purchased at factory prices, fully warranted. by corresponding with J. W. Cunningham & Bro., general agents, Portland, Ind., who sell a large line of Pianos, Organs, and other musical instruments lower than other agents can sell them. Any piano or organ manufactured will be furnished at bottom prices. Correspondence solicited. 2w.

A mistake. —“Observer” drops us a letter, which he or she fancies will be published tn The Deeocrat. But “Observer” is greatly mistaken. Not but what we believe the motives of the writer of the letter perfectly honorable. butthat the letter does injustice, gross injustice, to a woman who has been exonerated by a church tribunal. The letter in question is relative to the recent church trial. “Observer” drops us a letter and speaks libelnusly of every person interested in the defense of that trial. Even if what ho or she writes be true we Sould not give it space in The Democrat, because, by so doing we would compromise ourself in a matter that we have no interest in at all. And again, so far as we are advised, the trial is over, and the true Christian spirit is to let it remain a thing of the past. Doubtless all parties to the case were not satisfied, but that is non • of the pub-

lie s business, hence, we consign “Observer's” i ii'Hiymoiis c mmunication tc the devouring flames. I'he greater number of parties, directly and indirectly interested in tl.e unfortunate at fair, have passed the meridian of life. Their cheeks are no longer like a rose in the snow. Their life's sunshine is growing dark. That Maker whom they have been trying to serve will soon . call them to their final account. Their time in this sinful world is fast i drawing to a close, and how much bet- ■ ter they will feel, and how much happier will they be, and with lighter hearts and clearer consciences can they kneel at the shrine of Him to whom ' they look for protection in this and eternal happiness in the world beyond the grave if they forget and forgive. We are all human beings. One person's character and reputation are just as dear, just as sacred to that person as are the character and reputation to another. There is just as fine feelings in the cabin as in the mansion, and God answers prayers from one just the same as he does from the other. I Let this unfortunate affair sink into I oblivion, forget the past, strive to per-

petuate a Christian feeling for others, ; and when the messenger of Death comes to pilot you across the dark river to that place where l Kin.l hear s are more th»n eurnneU, Ano s’mvle .sub than Norman blood," your spirit will cut loose from earthly moorings with the belief that there is assistance such as can only come from the great Divine.

Prepare your winter wood. Subscribe for your home paper first. Bring it along. That wood we mean. * Van Wert is going to have gas works. Dan Railing is buying horses in Jay county. This office is enjoying a good run on job work. The fancy store is getting on holiday goods. Those who heard it say Rev. Carns preached a most power!'til sermon last Sunday night. John 11. Walters celebrated a birthday last Sunday. Clo thes thieves are working in Decatur. Shoot ’em. The time for working out road tax •is passed for this season. Miss Lizzie Airman, of Fort Wayne, is visiting Miss Caroline Fritze. Jas. Stone reports that he is having an excellent trade in the hardware line. See his reasons in The Democrat. The editors of the Defiance Democrat were presented with a handsome watch and cane by the democracy of the town. Dorwin, the photographer, advertises in the Willshire and Geneva papers. Neil understands the worth of printer’s ink. The dye business of Frank Sylvester has been moved to the second floor of the building fotmerly occupied by The Democrat. The -M Brace," the best suspender manufactured, is for sale in Decatur at Hill’s fancy store. Try them, and you will use none other.

Those Kalamazoo wind-mill agents proved to be regular sharpers. That is, they were sharp- enough to jump a board bill at the Burt House. For first-class sugars coffees, teas and syrups call at Welfley's. He keeps the best the market affords and sells at “live and let live prices.” Mason & Morgan’s combination comes highly recommended by the press of the country. Go see them to-morrow (Friday) night at Kover’s Hall. Whenever Mr. Samuel Rawley, of Geneva, pays what he owes this office his paper wdl be discontinued. His hiding behind the Geneva postmaster will not iquid te the year's subscrintion now due. The Democrat has no desire to get R. S. Peterson mixed up with its and the Journal's affairs. The new town well might flow into the controversy, and then the d—l would be to pay with those “disgruntled republicans” again. The will do well to let Mr. Peterson severely alone. New Baker.—Jacob Martin, the baker, has secured the services of a first-class baker, and now feels confident that he can meet the wants of the people to their entire satisfaction. All he asks is a trial, and especially docs he solicit a trial of his new baker’s bread. Call and see him. Adv. More Poetry.—lt is said that on the evening after Thus. Cloud received his sentence, which was that he be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for the term of two years, the following was found on the table in the court room. Those who are familiar with Cloud’s handwriting say it is his. He says: “Fare you well, you green fields and soft meadows, adieu ! Your rocks and your mountains—l’ll hasten from you. No more will my eyes by your beauty be blessed. No more will you sooth my ead bosom to rest. O' you birds that sit so nimbly on each burden spray, you can sing all your cares and your sorrows away. But its what would I give for your freedom to snare, and to roam where 1 please and to breathe the fresh air.’’ We don t know whether the language is Thomas' or not. bn’ if it is it is fair to judge he had some appreciation of freedom and realized his owa situation.

For Ladies. — We have often wondered why sonic more simple system of cutting was not invented for the use of dressmakers and ailors. But very few suits either of ladies or gentleman’s wear, fit neatly. This is all because they are not properly cut out. The old idea of cutting by pattern, then carefully rolling up the papers and putting them away until the next garment i is called for is of course exploded, and ‘ in its place comes the square rule system. Simply by means of a rule and model the most difficult piece of dress ! goods is cut and fitted as neatly as i Worth himself could fit, while the work is done so quic'-Iy as to astonish . followers of the old systems. In the I hands of any ordinary housewife the rule works just as well as for the most accomplished dressmaker. We have seen the makings of the rule, and know that it is just as represented by Mrs. Gahella Light, the lady who is so suc-

ccssful introducing it here, and who I has now a class open in our city for , teaching the art. Inquiries addressed to Mrs. Light, in caro of Thus. Arch- [ bold, of Niblick, Crawford & Sons, will bring full particulars of this, the most important addition to the tailoring and dressmaking art that has ever been inj vented. Adv.

We are sorry to see Mr. Dent leave, but arc consoled by knowledge that he will return in the spring.— Boyne. City Ent< ,prise. Niblick, Crawford A Sons and Kiting arc selling double the amount of goods cf all other dry goods houses in Adams county combined. They sell much cheaper and better goods than other dealers, and all because they are experienced buyers and discount their bills. Consequently their customers reap the benefit. Rounds’ Cabin: t. —We arc in receipt of the October number of Rounds’ Cabinet, a journal exclusively devoted to the interests of “the art preservative.’’ The number before us is one of the most interesting as well as the most useful of any heretofore published. It will be a welcome visitor to every well-appointed printing office in the country.
