Tlifc DECATUR DEMOCRAT New AdvertlHemvntH. Brick and Tile Worka—Fellere. Proepesols—Studebaker and others. Petition to sell R E.—Blackburn. Bank Statement — Allison. I.oohls —Place, Spriggs auj Merrill. Rooler Skating.—Mr.L. M. Neely is conducting a roller skating school at Kover’s Hall, and in point of excellence his school is immeasurably superior to the one that was "taught at" a few reeks ago. Teaching roller skating is Mr. Neely’s business, and those of our citizens who desire to learn to skate and at the same time enjoy a most pleasant evening’s entertainment should not fail to go to Rover's Hall. Admission, skates for the evening included, twenty-five cents. Mr. Neely tolerates no rough character or rowdyism at all. It is strictly a first-class, gilt-edge entertainment. NOTES. Henry Niblock is a daisy. No gentleman will spit on the floor. All pronounce the Muncie skate the tais. Miss Lucy Stone is the best lady ■kater. Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Dorwin seem to •njoy it. As a rule the gents tumble oftener than do the ladies. Jim Place mops the floor about every fifteen minutes. Dal Trout took a pair home to practice on in his barn. Mr. Bayless, the exhibition skater, is simply immense. Wouldn’t it be funny to see Mr. McGonagle put a pair on ? Charlie 'j- ie 'ris Itvi; rapidly and wi.l mak ,> > 1-. . D. Fr :>k Cr.i vford Tne school is liberally patronized by traveling men who happen to be stopping in town over night. Jim Hoagland is as steady as clock work. Like the professional tramp with his meals James never misses a night. If the hall was decorated with flags and festoons it would greatly add to its attractiveness. But that's the ladies work I Farewell.—As was expected for ' so ne time past that he would do Dr. D. G. M. 1 rout has retired from the newspaper business, having on last Friday sold the Journal establishment to B. W. Sholty. Trout's newspaper venture g*s neither brilliant or profitable, and his finding a purchaser alone saved it from a flat failure. When Trout start- | ed the Journal he was ap egotistical little ass, entertaining the ridiculous ho nnnM ofonf o R a nisKl 1 UClltl VMU. — V WWM.M M paper, jump to the leadership of his party, and finally get to he postmaster 4>f Decatur. He started in with a great flourish of trumpets and columns of billingsgate abuse of The Democrat and its editor. He was dissatisfied with everybody and everything, but he finds that men are not prone to follow in the footsteps of their inferiors in all that goes to make a man, in the higher acceptance of that term. Howwe hid to the little quack doctor with the following query : "If so Boon you are done for, what on earth were you ever begun for?” As above stated Mr. Sholty has bought the paper and will continue its publication as the organ of the Republican party in Adame county. Mr. Sholty tells us that Ed. Phillips will be the practical man in the office, and to Messrs. Shelly and I’hillips we extended the r iijh l (land of leibiwvli Cuni.iiy mow,. ila. A.pUJ-.eue pai--v »a«.„u nnnntv should bav9 a ty 01 county paper, and it is ;he duty oi every Republican to support his own party paper first just the same as it is the duty of every Democrat to support bis party organ first. Again we wish the new management pecuniary success. Resolution or Thanks.

From the Lagrange Reyitter we learn ’h it A n r,the American “Wool,” is a th- road agiin. We solicit especial attention to the advertisement of Mr. L. G. Fellers, contractor and builder. Samuel Baker plead guilty to having cut a tree on another man’s land and was fined ten dollars and cost. Charlie Worden, of New Corydon, was visiting his father, Seymour Worden, last Saturday and Sunday. It is quite probable the little quack doctor will return to the Greenback ; party, for misery like* company. Rev. Gleason of Monroeville will fill the Decatur M E. Pulpit Sunday. ; Official meeting 8:30 a. m. Urgent call. The “ring and chain man” was on the street, getting in fli* work on the numerous “gallibles" that flock to town i on Saturdays. Thomas Maloy, one of the thrifty farmers of Union township, called on us yesteaday and became a subscriber to DeMOCBAT. We are pleased to note that our townsman, Mr. Frank Thomas, has been hscensed to preach, and already has a call from a good Missouri town. Geerge Stanton is a candidate for postmaster at Montpelier. If George gets there Dal Trout will feel like kicking himself up a dark alley. Jack Studabaker held a Greenback election in Wells county the other day to test the numerical strength of his party. Sixty-oqe votes were cast, Mr. Schlottebeck, formerly editor of the Willshire, Ohio, Gazette, was in town Wednesday en route to Chicago, He will stick type on one of the dailies of that city.

Don’t fail to ' see the Rex i It is thought that the reason of the ‘ scarcity of eggs this season is, that the Democratic roosters ail died last fall.— Bluffton Chronicle. Isn't there enough vitality in Republican roosters to do the business? The Phantotmagorlan is the name of a new candidate for popular favor in the newspaper world of Winchester and vicinity. It is the venture of W. P. Needham, and bids fair to stay, so say the papers. ' We believe the question is only one ’ of time when the order of Knights of . i Pythias will stand at the head of the • benevolent orders of the world. The progress of this order surpasses anything in the history of secret organization. ’ A fellow with some kind of a pat ent air pump was in town over Sunday, and he thinks himself just a little bit too nice to live. He hasn’t been away from home long enough to know that he is a soft snap for even a clumsy amateur. John Bryan, of Blue Creek town ship, came to town Saturday, and while here the little devils in Decatur wins j key got the better of him. Sherifl : Krick assisted him on his horse aftei , t ’ he had sustained a heavy fall from the . ! faithful animal. - j When the case of Henry Ruch wa: t called Prosecutor France arose ant s said that as he had thoroughly exam t ined into the merits of it, and bavin; ■ found the evidence insufficient, hi ' would nolle it.

Mr. J. B. Russell started back t Philadelphia last Tuesday evenin with his family. He has resided i Decatur about six years, having move s. here from Philadelphia. He said h ■ g could always make a living in that fit, and that was more than he could easi) do here. The estate of the late Judge Clap; t s of Albion, Noble county, is wortl $500,000. It will be divided bctweei • his wife and throe children. Os th latter one is an estimable lady, and th wife of our old school-mate and not brother journalist, Thomas Starr, editoi and proprietor of the Hicksville, Ohio >r Neuss; but that don’t do us any good. The Warren A r etc* perpetrated i ;r harmless joke in its “write up" of thi Toledo excursion at the expense of om i McFadden, an obsiure attorney o t. Bluffton. McFadden purchased a horse lt whip and boarded the cars for Warren r declaring he would wear it (the whip , out on the “frail” body of Bro. Surran 9 but he didn’t. He changed his mint and now will resort to the Grubbs li bel law. If some good grandmothei J. would take McFadden across her knee 8 and spank some brains into him sht r - will have accomplished what God failei h to. The secretary’s report of French and Hartford township institute is he r fore us, with a ‘ request" to publish i‘ Now, friend J. W., that report is written on both sides of your paper, and r how do you expect it can be cut into i takes? To publish it we would violate a solemn declaration, made long ago—- , to not, under any circumstances, pub ) lish reports, communications, or any kind of “matter” that occupies both i sides of the sheet on which it is writ- , ten. We have refused others, and must use all alike. At the last session of the Grand Lodge of Knight’s of Pythias our townsman, Rev. 11. A. Curran, was elected to till the station of Grand Prelate. , Os his fitness and qualifications for the honored station the Pythian Journal for February says : “The selection of ’ that good brother, Rev. R. A. Curran, of Decatur, to fill the station of Grand Prelate was certainly a wise one, and : if he is not retained in the position for i a long time we miss our guess. Bro. ■ Curran became a member of the order ;in August, 1875. The writer had the j pleasure of assisting in conferring the j ranks on him at the institution of Ke- > kionga Lodge, No. 65, and ho «,:ii- : unt a single exception represented his i lodge at every session of the Grand : Lodge since that time. ' I he little qugck was stubborn to the ; very last, His office invoiced four hundred dollars; Mr. Sholty paid him two ‘ Hundred and fifty cash and handed him ] his note for one hundred and fifty dollars with the name of a geut'ieman on qs security «ho can buy and sell Dal Trout twenty times. Now the note, with only Mr. Sholty's name an, was just as good as a check on the Adams , County Bank, but Dal knew he was dy- ' ing, publidy and politically—and post- ■ offieely—and he was bound to kick just ias long as life remained. The gentleman whom Trout refused as security let tiye fflqttey tc&t until the bank opened on Monday morning, when he ! drew the required amount from his deposits and the piccadillo of “other days ' received his eash. The Eel River road shows up the lai <egi smash-up of railroad material, Last Sunday a train ran »ff the track between Auburn Junction and Cedar Creek, smashing several oars l.adiy and destroying a quantity of flour and grain. The most prominent sensation connected with this smash-up is as follows : k young man from Butler, dressed in a suit of black broad-eloth and his “mSp adorned with a spring plug hat, was on his way to see his girl. Thi conductor was od the engine when it jumped the track, and walking along to the rear end of the train, he spied sumo object : crawling out of the mud and water that accumulated along theditch. It arose, and there before him stood the would be lover. “Hg|lq, iyhat's up.? askt 1 tlye euti- ’. ductor. i I And, emptying the water out of his ■ ' plug, he remarked: “I am ah 1 of a looking thing to ' go and see a girl, ain’t I ?”— Auburn | Courier. ; I T p Sewer, Ves.—Tuesday night was an , > unusually interest one in the town 3 council chamber. A numerously signed . ■ remonstrance against the putting in of ‘ a sewer on Monroe street was presented jto that august body, together with I speeches, remarks, ete. On the othei ; hand some oft!?« largest property hold ’ | ers on the street were there advocating the measure to go speedily ahead witl j the work. The question was arguec : pro and con until a vote was reached J i which resulted in the remonstrance be ; ing tabled.
