Hughes has gone east to purchase a new stock of marble. Ike Strass, of Fort Wayne, spent Christmas with Decatur friends. Decatur young ladies will not keep “open house” January Ist, 1881. The mercury stood at 18 degrees below zero last Wednesday morning.

Miss Anna Stone of St. Marys, 0., is visiting her friend Miss Minerva Woods. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Voglewede spent Christmas with friends in Toledo, Ohio. Watch Meeting at the M. E. Church New Year’s eve from 10 o’clock until 12. Last week’.-, Lagrange Register was perfumed with “satisfaction bouquet. ” It satisfied us. * Misses Hattie and Maggie Studabaker went to Bluffton to-day, Thursday 7 , to spend New Year. Wni. Adlesperger is the father of a bouncing boy baby. He feels “just as young as he used to be. This office is under obligations to Second Assistant Postmaster General Brady for a copy of bis report. Judge Bobo sentenced a fellow last week to sixty days’ imprisonment at Michigan City for stealing coffee. Miss Ella Schirmeyer is home on a short vacation. She has been teaching at the Fort Wayne Conservatory of Music. Mr. James Place of Allen county, Ohio, and an uncle to our Jim, is visiting the latter. He is said to be quite wealthy. The quack said something about county printing week before last. The little dunce don’t know what county printing is. C. N. Lang wants a settlement with all who are indebted to the store of John Kiting. See his notice elsewhere in this paper. Joseph Petre was indicted by the Mercer county grand jury for murder in the first degree. His trial is set for the March term. The Huntington Democrat says it is all a mistake about their county treasurer being on a spree at Fort Wayne. Glad to hear it is a “mistake !’’ W. J. Fitzgerald spent Christmas with his parents. W. J. reports large and increasing sales of the Singer, the sewing machine for which hr is agent. Miss Fannie Dorwin is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Beal and Mrs. Porter, her cousins and aunt, in Alleghany City, Penn. She will remain during the school vacation. James Baxter will not be tried until the special session of the circuit court which will convene on the 17th of January. He gave bail in the sum of SI,OOO for his appearance.

An adjourned session of court will convene on the 17th of January. Several cases in which Judge Bobo was interested as counsel, etc., before his electon to the bench, will be tried. A young squirt of a traveling man said that Decatur had more two-penny men in it than any town in the State. We hope he didn’t have a severe headache after relieving himself in that manner. Leiters Lorn Mrs. Schenck, formerly Miss Bradie Simcoke, of Decatur, report her as contemplating a visit to her relatives here soon. She has a little daughter living with Thomas Woodruff s family. The Wilshire Independent publishes that “editorial rinktum” paragraph, the same that has gone the rounds of the press and credits it to tho IJina Gazette. It originated, wo believe, with Bob Burdette. Mr, R. B. Allison received a letter last week from a sister who is stepping in New Orleans. She says the weather there now is similar to fhp weather here in May and June. Perhaps a better idea can be had of just what kind of weather they are enjoying by remembering that the letter to her brother was written while she was sitting io open air on » piaua.

The Busy Bees church fair was liberally patronized, the gross receipts amounting to $235 or thereabouts. The doll was voted to Flora Center. It is a beauty, and little Flora may well feel proud of it. Joseph C. Walters, a former resident of Adams county, but now residing in Pu!a.,ki county, 30 miles north of Logansport, was visiting his old friends and relatives here last week. He re-’ newed his subscription to The Democrat. J. Bart Shirey, for several years an attache of The Democrat, has accepted a situation in the job rooms of the Fort Wayne Gazette. Bart is a good, steady and reliable hand, and will improv* the opportunity f r learning of the “art” in a city office. Father Fitzgerald has been at it again. This time he bought a goose, cut its feet and head off, and then tried to make the folks at home believe they were eating turkey for their Chrismas dinner. They caught him at it and he reluctantly acknowledged the corn. The Decatur Democrat reaches the Telegeram office once in two or three weeks. Does The Democrat suspend occasionally ?— Hartford Oitg Telegram. Never suspends. Is sent to the Telegram as regular as the weeks roll around. It may not be generally known but it is a fact, nevertheless, that a Decatur woman is under bonds in the sum of $250,00 to keep her mouth shut ; that is, to keep her tongue from slandering her neighbors who are her superiors intellectually, morally and socially. It seems tough, but the neighbors say it is effective. Our own Peter Forbing has frequently called our attention to what he doubtless believed to be a fact, that Hardin county, Ohio, is out of debt and that taxes are much lighter there than in Adams county. Well, we now have it officially, Peter, and Hardin county to-day owes just $170,000 for pikes alone. Mr. Geo. S. Stanton and wife spent Christmas with their uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. William Stewart. George and the quack doctor are having quite a time about that pack of No. 6 cards. Each one claims them and the quack says he will go into court before he will give up. He says he will take the cards, and we believe him, for he’ll take anything he gets his hands on. A Mr. Morningstar of the south part of the county gave his note I some months ago to a patent med- i icine swindler for S3OO. The note , fell due and he refused to pay. He charged that the note was fraudulently obtained and that he was not of sound mind when he gave the note The party holding the note sued and the case was tried last week iu the circuit court. The jury found a verdict in favor of Morningstar. Motion wag made for a new trial. And now the social, religious, and in fact all grades of society in Celina, Ohio.havebeen stirred up, as they have never before been, by a contributor to the Standard who signs him or herself “lago.” This mysterious contributor charges several prominent and leading members of the churches with slipping into saloons via. the back door and there getting their bottles filled. They hold themaelvea up as models to the youth of the town and drink behind the curtain. Can the cause of temperance prosper when such hypocrisy is found iu ths front pinks ? Not at all.

Court had adjourned last Friday night when the jury brought in its verdict in the Morningstar case. The foreman, therefore, would remain custodian of the verdict until he could deliver the same to the court. The custodian, however, who was a Mr. Mann, of Preble township, discovered that on the morning no verdict was to be found. The report rapidly spread that a verdict had been lost, and much speculation was indulged in as to what would or could be done about it. Judge Bobo simply ordered the jury to retire and bring in a verdict (he same as the . original one. The little quack doctor says that Thad Butler, of the Wabash Plain' Dialer, is a candidate for postmaster of that town, and that the editor of the Democratic paper there, unlike the ‘•groveling sycophant” of this paper, favors his appointment. The qua. k then prosecls t ■ ter class of Republicans because we don t sit down and let hint lie himself ir to office. And all this because Thad Butler is a candidate for the Wabash postoffica. Why you poor, little, lousy dead-beat, haven't you sense enough to know that Thad Butler is a man possessed of business qualifications, and in every respect competent to fill the position to which he honorably aspires Thad Butler is an energetic man, working to make a living for himself. He d<q. t lounge around and sponge off a rich father. Ife has a higher ambition than that, consequently the people are i anxious to see hini reach the height of his ambition. He merits their support and esteem. Yes, indeed ; there ■ is a mountain of difference between i Thad Butler and the little dead-beat of the Journal. One is a man among I men— the other is a dead-beat all by i himself.

Gue day last week while on our way to dinner our esteemed friend, John King, jr., grabbed us by the throat aud placed a $5 gold piece in our hand. During the late campaign wo worked with John for the cause we both espouse aud found iu him an honest, well-meaning and up-right man, and a prudent but indefatigable worker. If the Great Ruler permits us to remain with the living four years hence will find us again in the ranks doing battle for what we believe to be right, but during the time intervening we shall devote our time and energy to publishing a good paper and John will continue to manufacture the best carriages. wagons and sleighs to be found in ' . riliorit Indiana. Give us both a call. And now J. U. Miller has gone to work and made up the Angola Republican almost exactly according to our own idea of a paper. He has dressed it up iu beautiful new light-face type. No cuts or black display lines will appear hereafter in the paper, and all advertisements will be set according to the printer’s idea. We think, however, that a light-face pica for display would improve the typographical appearance of the Republican, in place of nonpariel “caps,” which are a little too small, wc think. If Jimmy will send for a copy of the Wichita, Kas., Eagle he will see just what we arc trying to get at. However, J. “You” is the boss, and now has the handsomest paper iu Indiana. He knows wc wish him success. Three young men came over from Bluffton on Monday last, but for what purpose we know not. One of them, after being in town for a few hours, was in a state of beastly intoxication. He fell down six times while going half a.square. Some person went to him and told him he bad better go home, when the young fellow looked up and said : “Me go home I No, indeed ; my father has been too good to me to see me in this condition.” And wc doubt not but that the fellow told the truth. Ge would have been a sad looking sight for his father, indeed. We will spare him the humiliation of having his name appear in print, but if this should fall under his eye let him take warning and never be caught iu that wretched condition again. He is yet only a boy, but his parents would hardly have known him had i they met him in Decatur last Monday. The following is a report of the Buena Vista graded school: FIRST MONTH. General enrollment 73 Average daily attendance 61 Per cent, of attendance 83.5 : Cases of tardiness 51 SECOND MONTH General enrollment 85 Average daily attendance 76 Per cent, of attendance 89.4 Cases of tardiness 4 The following pupils received above 85 per cent, in each of the common branches : Salome Stauffer, Nora Huffman, Douglas French, Clara Shelden, Lizzie Stauffer, Cora Morrow, Emma Kizer and Eugene Lindsey. Nine different persons visited our schools during the two months and we feel very thankful for these friendly calls, and hope that many more, parents and friends, may encourage us by their presence in the future. L. W. Luckey, Principal. One week ago to-day about seventy five persons from Celina, Geneva, New Corydon and vicinity assembled at the residence of Geo. Burk near New Corydon, Jay county, to celebrate the 100th birthday anniversary of Nancy Williams Burk, who was born in New Jersey on the 23rd day of Pccember, 1780. She emigrated with her father, brothers and sisters and settled near Stubenville, Ohio. Her mother died during the journey and was buried at the foot of the Alleghany mountains. She mar tied Mr. Burk in March, 1807; moved j to Indiana Dec., 1865. She is a mcm- ’ her of the U. B. church ; been a follower of Christ for most of a century. She hears, eats, and sleeps well. Her I vision is dim. Being first assisted to | her feet she van w*lk. She is remark. able for the gentleness of her spirit and uniform courtesy to all. Her intellect- . ual powers arc remarkably preserved, i She has a vigorous ami well bailanced . mind. The following was the pro- , gramme fur the occasion : “The sweet IBy and By,” by brass band. Song (her i requcsty Rock of Ages," “Prayer]” I address by Rev. Carns of Decatur, and 1 who also presented in behalf of the friend.; to the worthy centenarian a ! ea_- fl a ' blue blanket, hose j and slippers. Then came a feast of good things.

It js the same in Decatur as in all parts of the world—the rich against the poor. The latter are subservient to tho inhuman and outrageous demands of the former, and it is so sim ply because the poor do not demand what is reasonably their rights. And so it goes, from year to year, and finally the life blood is sucked out of the toiling man. he lie# down to everlasting rest, to be soon forgotten by the world. The rich man, the very one who has made the life of the departed one miserable, hovers over the dollars so ruthlessly taken from the poor, and then hies himself to new pastures. With but one or two exceptions the poor of America are the most downtrodden people of any nation on the face of the math. It U true they have enough

to cat and drink, as a rule, but is that all there is of life to live for? No I The poor of America have rights now lying under the feet of the most cruel and heartloss set of men to be found inhabiting any part of God's footstool. But a change is imminent. The Chicago Times, the rich man’s mouth-piece, warns the people that the masses are going to overthrow wliac they believe to.bo inhuman intolerance, aud advises the mousy sh;**s tkut a “loosening of the screws” may in the end prove the most profitable. The Tinies intimate* that it will be no agrarian movement, but that it will be a movement against the rich monopolies that are nothing but legalized rcbberiei. New Boot and Shoe Shop.—S. Bill man has opened a boot and shoe shop, one square north of the Adams County Bank, where he is prepared at all times to manufacture work to order. Repairing neatly done on short notice and at reasonable prices. Give him a cull and satisfaction will be guaranteed. 3 p Roll of Honor. — The following subscribers have paid the amount set opposite their respective names since our last issue : F.

Simpson, School No. 2, Washington tp. Sudden Death.—Mr. Albert Neff, of this town, died very suddenly last Monday evening about half past five o clock. The particulars, as we gleand them, are substantially as follows : Mr. Neff was engaged during the day, Monday, in packing hides for Garret Belling. Having finished his job he started for his home, on West Monroe street, about five o'clock. As he entered the door he said “Ma, I am almost gone.” Mrs. Neff noticed something wrong, as he was very pale in the face. ; He then asked his wife to get his boot- | jack, and being supported by Mrs Neff he succeeded in drawing off his ; boots. Mrs. Neff then pulled a rocking- , chair to where he was standing, and as- j sisted him to sit down. He then said, | "I am gone ! and true he was, his breath : going out with those words. The feel- ! ings of the grief-stricken wife and her fatherless children can be better imagined than described. The deceased j was upwards of sixty years old. He I removed to this place from Winchester some seven years ago and was regarded as a very good citizen. He wes an uncle to the Hon. John E. Neff, of Winchester, but was a very ultra Republican. About two weeks prior to his death he took out a life insurance policy of $2,000. He was one of the jurors in the Morningstaj case, which was disposed of ia the circuit court last week. His remains were taken to Winchester Tupsd„y morning for burial. Thus, in the midst of life are we

in death. His family have the heartfelt sympathy of this entire’eommuni- -- A CUtO, Ed. Democrat : Through the kindness of Decatur friends Christmas brought us keepsakes. These qsefql, beautiful and lasting presents are nor only appreciated on account of intrinsic value, but more particularly because of being mementos from worthy friends. And should we, no doubtl many’, many times—duty having call- i ed us far from this pleasant field of labor—on suitable negasions, having! found new friends, these mementos ! will call up pleasant reminiscences, and though surrounded by company, even then will go up to God a prayer i asking gmoiuus remembrance of each and all the donors.
