THE DEMOCRAT. BY S. HAY WILLIAMS Tabus ; 11.50 a Year in Advance. DBCLA TUR, INDIANA, 4MUEBDAY, Jan. 6, 1881. A CARD. Rev. Cams having announced that the Presbyterians refused to unite in the services of the week of prayer, I wish to say that the gentleman never asked us to do so, nor in any way expressed such a desire to us, nor anyone else, as I can find; therefore we did not unite. Rev. C. A. Kanouse. • Geneva Gleanings. BY RUS-Tl-CUS. You may now writ* it 1881. The can-can on New Year s was immense. The United Brethren are holding a series of meetings at the Linton school house. .Mrs. Woodruff of Decatur, and Mrs. Evans, of Monmouth, spent New Year in Geneva, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Kelley. Old Mr. Polin, of Poitland, and father of Dave Polin, of our place, died Saturday, on his 100th birthday. Uncle George Pontius tells ua that his fat heg made 23f gallons es lard instead of 21, as we stated. We heard it remarked that a couple of funerals in Bear Creek township, Jay county, on New Year's day, prevented the regiment from coining up. Hence, an enjoyable New Year for the Geneva folks. A. B. Tullis' portion of the estate of the late Jere Tullis, of Cincinnati, will be about $20,000. George Goff is lying in a critical eondition with typhoid fever, which makes the fifth member of that family who have had the disease within the past six months, but Doc. Ralston has so far guided their barque safely through, with the chances in favor of George. We oan now call to mind but three grown persons who have died in Geneva within the past year, which speaks well for the health of the locality.

A Mr. Hunter, of Zanesville, Ohio, and a relative of James Clapper lias been visiting the latter during the holidays. E. C. Kern informs us that he is going to move this week to Walkerton, St. Joseph county, Ind., whera he will engage in tha dry goods business. We wish Em. success financially, but dem his politics. tFill Wiley's wife through a mistake took t dose of morphin# instead of quinine as .she intended, which came near proving If there is any one who wants to put their capital against experience, and go into the show businessjust call on our tonsorial artist. Philiman Crass’ house caught fire •n last Thursday, but was put out before much damage was done. Mike McGriff has just received a letter from ‘‘buckskin Joe" and Abe! Hill. Joe states that he has only been on one drunk since ha left home and that only lasted ten days. Jasper, I have the sweeto st little peach that ever bloomed west of Geneva. That may be, Charley, but you can t put any confidence in thu girls now a-days. I thought I had the sweetart little darling at Briant that ever liyed, but when I went to see her on Christmas, she had a baby, which knocked me clear out of shape. The above is a conversation which took place between two young “bloods" not / ar from here.

The pound party given at Bro. Sawyer's. New Year’s night, was a snceess, both in pleasure and plentitude. New Boot and Shoe Shop.—S. Billman has opened a boot and shoe shop, one square north of the Adams County Bank, where he is prepared at all tituea to manufacture work to order. Repairing neatly done on short notice and at reasonable prices. Give him a call and satisfaction will be guaranteed. 3 A fresh oyster and a good cracker «an always be got at J. W. Place’s.
