THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT. BY 8. RAY WILLIAMS. DECATUR, INDIANA. Thursday, March 24 . 1881. —Another prohibition bill has been introduced in the legislature. —General Grant has resigned the presidency of the world's fair commission. —The Cincinnati Enquirer seems to be losing its grip on the “greatest western newspaper.' o .»■ — —Judge Petit, for many years a resident of Wabash town, was buried to-day. He died of heart disease. —Frank Sum has wisely decided not to publish a Democratic paper in Fort Wayne. Sensible Frank. —President Garfield hopes to make the crushing out of polygamy the j crowning feature of his administration. | —The United States senate is very ! appropriately called “Mahone's senate. He’s little, but lie’s boss. Even the haughty Conkling bows in humble submission to the diminutive Virginian. —Our good-looking congressman Majah Steele, sah, is having considerable trouble about his postoffices, and in one particular case he gave himself dead away. We are apprehensive that the Majah, sah, will not develop into a great statesman. —The legislature is still in session. The only business of importance to the people that has been done was the appropriation of $71,000 to pay the expenses of this extra and worse than useless session. The other day Pudpath, the speaker, adjourned the house “szne die until to-morrow morning at nine o’clock.'’ —The Huntington JVezcs appears very much chagrined over the fact that the editor of this paper consigned to the waste-basket a communication on temperance legislation. The editor of the Newe, as usual, is so far off his base that he appears ridiculous, but it is not worth while to argue or explain matters to him. We spent several hours one day in trying to convince a mule that it was not handsome, and the result was as might have been expected —a failure. —The Journal of last week committed an error of enormous proportions in its report of the election held on the Monday prior to its issue. Its report shows that. 5,184 votes were polled, with a majority for the constitutional amendments of 1,976. How the Journal managed to make such a blunder we are unable to conjecture. The vote, polled is as follows : Total number of votes cast, Sl6; average majority for each amendment, 282. About onethird of the vote throughout the state was cast, and in view of this fact it is quite probable the supreme court will set the much boasted-of “adoption” aside. 1 Geneva Gleanings. BY RUS-TI-CU3. I Hay sold at the Dyons sale at the rate of $17,40 per ton. Our school closes on Friday next, without any extra flub dubs. Abe Harrod is building a large agricultural building, as is, also, Kelly Brothers.® Mrs. J. 11. Smith, who has been confined to her bed for about eighteen months, is convalescent. Wc understand that several good buildings are to be put up here this summer, among them a large brick hall. Oh, say I Mr. Pleasant Mills, you fellow of the Journal, please don’t get ecstatical at the onset. Its dangerous, you know. Uncle John Nelson has bought the property, now occupied by Esq. Drew, with the intention of going into the grocery business. E. C. Kern writes toa friend in town, and requests him to tell Rus-ti-eui that Garfield is President. Yes, but the bright and shining star of that inaugural assemblage was Winfield Scott Hancock. Blessed be the name. Quite a number of our citizens and the citizens of Ceylon, and vicinity are talking a good deal of Rail Road. If they will stop that kind of “chin music” and get the citizens of Celina and Bluffton with those along the line be- I tween, and build a pike, it will be worth fourteen Narrow Gauges. One gallon of white paint should cover forty-four square yards of sur- i faee. -.—.. The base drum player makes more noise than anybody else, but he doesn’t lead the band. There is a moral to this. No man can afford to have his milch i eows driven by a dog unless the dog | knows as much as his owner should know. Nine-teenths of the fixed capital of all the civilized people in the world is embarked in agriculture, which employs of men.

Os the many cases I am how treating and have examined 1 fiad it a ookmox noI tioi of the sufferers “that they have the • Piles." They write, send er ask for modi- ‘ cine for the Piles. You ean not tell, nor could I, if I did sot make an examiation. You would just as likely be right to call all trouble of the Kes turn Cancer as to ea 11 it the yen have a sore throat you desire to know what ki Dipt her is, Tonsillitis; if fever i bilious, Lung, Brain. Typhoid. etc., then ; you have an ide* of lie danger. Then w*y «Ul every trouble of the Rectum | Piles? I Hundreds »t yoaag men end weazen aid ; older persons go tn their grave frets Reo- 1 diseases— most likely Vloeration or I Conner —and the so sailed Piiae are not ' 1 i accused of murder. < Never say you have the Pile* unless isos ; ■ physician tells yon bo, or any other diffi1 catty; end know how high—one, two or : three inches—and how much eurfase dlsI eased. One-half of the oases lam called on to . examine er treat have no Piles at all, but \ a disease a thousand time worse I find many troubled with Plant, Tans and Ulquills 1 have yet to find a simple case of Piles without ulceration. Dr. Allingham says •■Uioeratieu eiiending above the internal sphincter, and frequently situated entirely above that muscle, is not so very unootnoion a disease; it in- I Sicts great misery upon the patient, aus, , if neglected, leads to conditions quite in- i curable, and the patient t>ts* of axiiatrsTios ; ; unless extraordinary means are resorted | to In the earliest stages of the malady . careful, rational and prolonged treatment I is often successful and the patient is restored to health; I wish I eould say the ! earns of the severs and longstanding cases. | Ulceration of the rectum can only be mistaken for malignant diseases. * * As the earlier manifestations are fairly amenable to treatment, it is of the ittmoot importance th*t the disease should be 1 recognized early." I believe it to be malignant, and have , cases that speak for themselves. If you . ' have any trouble corns in time and find out • , your danger. . . Find outjhow much yonr head, memory, heart, lungs, stomach. li»er, kidneys, bowels, bladder, womb, back and legs are troubled from your diseased Rectum. I eould name many persons that I am now treating who have some one or two organs deranged and have spent a great deal of money to no purpose, because it poee not reach the cause es trouble. 1 Guaeastss the Cues of Piles.

PULVERIZING HARROW, CLOO CRUSHER ISO IHiIEB. The undersigned baa the ageney for the above machine for Adams and Wells counties. The Acme Harrow has been brought to its present state of perfection only after years spent tn experimenting and a large expenditure of money. WHAT IS IT USED FOR ? Thia question is answered by the following ext:acts from testimonials from practical farmers: “We have been plowing corn on green sward that was harrowed by the Acme which had done its work so well and left the land so light that one furrow with the plow wae found sufficient between lhe rows." “It worked the sod so fine that I ventured to sow oats, and they are growing finely.” “I used it for cross harrowing my corn ' I ground and find that it does not tear up I the sod.” “On a piece of old meadow, awful tough sod, the eommen harrow only made scratch marks and the Acme made the land all fine te the depth of three or four inches." “Have worked it on flat ground plowed last fall, which had not been plowed for - thirty years. Going over it both waysit I cut It np like an ash heap.” , For further particulars or information | call on or address the agent. I will also j canvass the above named oountiis and , earnestly solicit a trial of the harrows i by enterprising farmers. 5 Residence, northeast of Adams Stave ) I Factory, Decatur, Ind.
