Gone DucKiNG.-Byron Dent started on Monday for the Kankakee swamps, where he expects to shoot some ducks on the wing. He will be absent for several days. Dead.—Mrs. Theodore Kennedy’s mother, who resided in Noble county, this state, died oue day week before last. She was quiet aged. Mrs. K. attended the funeral. Gone East.—Jesse, John and James Niblick started last Friday evening for the eastern markets. Look out for an immense stock and good bargains when they return. Lost.—A five dollar bill somewhere between J. IV. Place’s confectionery store and Judge Studabaker’s residence. The finder will confer a favor by leav- . ing it at The Democrat office. Donation Social.—Members and friends of the ?J. E. Church will hold a ’ donation at the Parsonage on Saturday evening, March 26th, for the benefit or the pastor, Rev. J. B. Carns. All are cordially invited to attend. i Removed.—The postoffice was removed last Saturday evening to the room until recently occupied by Cui Whipple as a barber shop. The office 9 is now centrally located, Bro. Sholty J is the boss, Ed. Ebinger remains as j 1 deputy, and everything moves along in apple-pic order. A Curiosity.—Esquire Durbin has placed upon our table an egg that is i quite a curiosity. The small end of the egg, where the formation of the - shell would naturally be complete, is 1 the base for a protuberance, composed of shell and the white of an egg, about an inch and a half in length and about one-quarter of an inch in diameter. It can be seen at this office. Public Sale. —Bills were printed at this office Monday morning announcing a public sale at the residence of [ Lewis Brokaw, who resides in the north part of town, on Saturday next. John Shirey, auctioneer. Mr. B. will move 1 on Monday next to Fort Wayne, where ■ he is to take charge of an eating and 1 lodging house. Success to him. ! False.—The report put in circulation that there is a case of small-pox in Decatur is false in every particular. There was no ioundation for such a report, and the only logical conclusion to arrive at is that the person starting the report did so with a view to injuring the business interests of our town. Whenever a case of small-pox is known to be within our midst the readers of this paper will be apprised of the fact. 1 Ex-Official. —Ansel Blossom turned the Decatur postoffice over to his successor last Saturday morning, and , is now a private citizen. Mr. Blossom served the patrons of this office for several years, and it is but just to say that he was one of the best officials the office has ever had. For ourself we iuvaribaly found him genial and obliging and he carries with him to his rural home in Union township the best wishes of The Democrat for his future success in life. ' Died.—On the 2nd of this month I , Sarah Burkhead died at her home in j Linn county, Kansas. Mrs. Burkhead, i ; with her husband, settled in Adams county in 1816 ; moved to Knox coun- . j ty, 111., in 1855, re-moved to Adams county in 1858 and in 1879 moved to ! . Linn county. Kas., where she died on the 2nd in the 81st year of her age. She was a woman of excellent traits of character. greatly beloved by those who knew her. She was of a kind and benevolent disposition, always striving to obey the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you.” We are requested to say through ' I The Democrat to her bereaved children that they have the heartfelt sympathy of their old friends and neighbors in Adams county. The Rink.—Roller skating, for the time being, is at an end in Decatur, last Saturday closing the season so far as Mr. Neely is concerned. The ven--1 ture proved pecuniarily profitable to j the management and, so far as we are I advised, eminently satisfactory to the ' patrons. The contest on Friday night for the silver cup resulted in a victory for Albert Zimmerman, who skated one mile in five minutes and fifty-one seconds. On Saturday night a contest took place for a pair of skates, Frank Stone being the winner, having made a I mile tn the same time that Zimmerman . did. Dick Dorwin was close to him , with a record of 5:53. Mr. Neely went from here to Bluffton, where he will j conduct a school for a few days.

Thanks.—Last Saturday was ■ the 80th birthday of grand-mother Mary Ann Spullcr, mother of our late county commissioner, Joseph Spullcr, deceased. The childrc t and other relatives and friends of this aged lady gave a party ( in honor of her birthday and The Democrat household was not forgotten, as ( a lot of the best cake we have eaten in many a day was laid upon its table by a grand-son of the old lady and es- 1 teemed friend of ours, Mr. John I*. Spuller. The subject of this notice set- l tied in Adams county in the year 1837. Kind reader, let your thoughts run back i to that period and contemplate, if you can, what this county looked like fortyfour years ago. Eighteen hundred and thirty-seven ! That was eighteen years before the writer was born. Then reflect on the fact that though she has been a citizen of Adams county for forty-four years she was, nevertheless, a middle-aged woman when she came to the county. Seventy years ago she was a young school girl. What changes have taken place since then. The Republic was only getting fairly under way for settling down to actual business. Ten years prior she was an infant. Thomas Jefferson had been president but fifteen days when Mary Ann Spuller was born. Gen. Washington had been dead less than two years when she entered the land of the living. It seems almost incredible that we have within our own county one who was a little child when Thomas Jefferson was president of the United States. For years and years his name and fame have filled the pages of history, and when we reflect on the fact that one of our own citizens lived at the time he was the ruler of this land we can but look upon her as an epoch of time so remote that it seems she was in another world. True, there are many people older than Mrs. Spuller, but few of her age have resided so long in one place. When she came to the county there were but few houses here. Mr. Rugg, the founder of Decatur, Joseph Crabbs, now of Wabash, and two or three others whose names we have forgotten, and who have ■ been dead for many years, had just cleared off a small patch where the Burt House and a few surrounding buildings now stand, and that was all there was of Decatur. Mrs. Spuller is the mother of ten children, but four of whom are living. We thank her most kindly for her remembrance of The Democrat family, and trust that she may enjoy the blessings of good health during the remainder of her days in the world she has lived so long. Appointed.—Feeling that too many irons in the fire might not work so well Mr. B. W. Sholty resigned the agency ■ at this place of the American express company and Chas. Spencer was appointed to fill the vacancy. The office , will now be located at Spencer’s bard- , ware store. Important to Travelers.—Special inducements are offered you by the Burlington Route. It will pay you to read their advertisement to be found elsewhere ia this issue. 51w40 Obituary. David Fitzgerald, whose death we announced last week, was one amongst the oldest settlers of Adams county. Mr. Fitzgerald was a native of county Limerick, Ireland; was born December ■ 23, 1800, consequently was in his 81st year at the time of his death. He came to this country when quite a young man; bought a piece of land in the vicinity of Sandusky. Ohio, where ’ he and his sister lived for some ten 1 years, but not liking that country he , moved to Adams county and located ~ two miles west of Decatur, where he purchased a small piece of land. This I country at that time was a wilderness, ; | but being energetic and industrious he • j soon had it under cultivation. He then ■ I married Mrs. Johana O’Connell who I survives him. Here they reared and brought up a large family, consisting | of six boys and five girls, all of whom are I living and grown to be young men and women. By good management and hard work Mr. Fitzgerald and family had one of the largest and best improvI ed farms in Adams county, where they lived until 1875, when they disposed of their farm and purchased propertyin Decatur, where Mr. Fitzgerald lived up to the time of his death. His life was maiked with many a good trait of ! character. The most notable was that he always paid as he went, never allowing himself to be encumbered in any manner. He was temperate in all things, never drank liquor nor used tobacco in any way, and this no doubt accounted for his strong constitution and prolongment of life. In his death was lost a good husband, a kind father and a most respected citizen. His family were all at his bedside ar, the time of his death, with the exception of his three eldest sons, who through sickness in the families of two of them and the third being so far west he could not possibly come home in time to witness his last hours. Mr. Fitzgerald became reconciled to his death and knew he was going to die, and had his presence of mind up to the hour of his death. He died with all the rights of the Catholic church, of which he was originally a member. He was buried from that church on last Friday at nine o’clock a. m. • The funeral was largely attended by a concourse of people who sympathize with the family in this their sad affliction, this being the first death recorded in the family. May his remains rest in peace. * Aanonncement. I hereby respectfully announce myself as a candidate for the office of County Superintendent of Public Schools ■ of Adams county, subject to the decision of the Trustees at their coming election. I earnestly solicit the aid of ! all, “J. T. Simooke. !

( Much interesting matter was crowd- ( ed out of this issue. Monday was equinox, and the us ’al ( gloomy weather prevailed. ( Maine raises nearly 7,000,000 bush- . cis of potatoes per annum. , A few days of sun weather and our ! roads will be in good conditien. : There are ten cases of small-pox in 1 our neighboring town, Monroeville. The Bijou at Fort Wayne opened to a large audience last Monday night. Rev. Carns will deliver his farewell sermon on next Sunday night a week. Will Nuncmaker was resting from his railroad labors a few days this week. Absent “city dads” of Geneva are represented at council meetings byproxy. Remember that the safest man to deal with is the one who advertisesVhat he has. Mr. Hendricks will no doubt do a handsome business with his “Acme” harrow. The revival at the Evangelical ehurch seems not to abate. Go on with the good work. Robt. B. Allison has returned from Hot Springs, but his health is no better than when he left. Judge Low and W. J. Craig were in town Monday and Tuesday looking up railroad interests. A traveling man tells us that Decatur is on the route laid out by seven different circuses. Gracious me I Seven circuses! Those parties who promised to bring us wood, and failed to do so, can now bring us the money. We want it immediately, too. The mother of W. J. Sherman, civil engineer of the Narrow Gauge road, died at her home in Norwalk, Ohio, one day last week. Read all the advertisements in The . Democrat ; it will be a source of profit . as well as information to those who ■ intend purchasing. ; Decatur Democrats didn’t feel at all bad Monday morning to find that our ■ postmaster had a Hancock pole standing in front of the office. Mr. C. N. Lang, business manager for ’ John Eiting, returned to-day from the I wholesale markets where he purchased ’ a large stock for the spring trade. ! In the Cincinnati market as we go to press hogs are selling at [email protected] ! for common and [email protected] for light. Wheat was worth $1.06; corn steady at 47c. Rev. Wilken, pastor of the Catholic church, is preaching a series of ser- , rnons during Lent on “the true church.” He preaches in English every alternate Sabbath. Yesterday was the day for opening proposals for building the M. E. ehurch. But one complete bid was handed in and as yet the committee have not let the contract. A numerously signed petition will be handed the M. E. conference to send Rev. Carns to Lagrange. It is now thought quite certain that Rev. Adams ‘ will be returned to this charge. 1 As the season approaches for cleanj ing house and papering just tax your memory with the fact that at Curran’s drug store can be seen all the latest styles of wall-paper at very low rates. John Smith, of the firm of Wagoner & Smith, Decatur, started on Monday j morning last to Bodkin, Shelby county, I Ohio, to attend the funeral of his brother Andrew, who died on Saturday last. Geo. S. Stanton is looking up a location for a paper. We undertand he is or was negotiating for the purchase of a half interest in the Lime City News, a greenback sheet at Huntington. L. W. Luckey’s school having closed he has returned to the farm in Union township. He has bought the old homestead of his father and will farm it for all it’s worth. Success be with you, Leonard. The Adams County Bank carries a largeramountof deposits,for the amount of paid up stock, than any bank in the state. This fact speaks volumes for the confidence reposed in the management of that institution. John Miller was “fined and costed” to the amount of SIO.BO for fighting on Saturday night with a man by the name of Monday. John says the man Monday called him a hard name and, refusing to recant, lie “beefed” him. Daniel Sayres, present incumbent, has been renominated for postmaster at Wabash. Thad. Butler, one of the editors cf the Republican paper in that city, was a candidate, but it seems newspaper men are destined to disappointment under the De Golyer administration. Several of the young men who have ■ been doing the hall for the past few ■ j weeks clubbed together and presented ] Frank Crawford, on Friday night, with f a handsome pair of roller skates. Frank was considerably surprised but rallied sufficiently to do the graceful in satis- t factory style. j

rr.ww*Wiwi ■m«ui»i»i wniiri'iiimg* vweeAll bee keepers who are anxious to produce good honey in the best market shape, will find it to their interest to call at Tervcer*& Bowers,nndsec Hill’s Sectional Honey Box. Any farmer can use it as conveniently as the old ' style honey box, and yet when it is fill- ; cd with honey it can be readily separated into sections for convenience in retailing. In looking over the files of The Democrat we found a paragraph that read to the effect that if, by some unforsccn accident, Gen. Garfield should be elected to the office of president B. W. Sholty would be Decatur's postmaster and John P. Quinn would be internal revenue collector of this district. Onehalf of the prediction has been verified ; are you going to let us stick on the other half, John? For The Democrat. Last Ray. We had the pleasure last Friday of being present and witnessing the closing scenes of the Buena Vista schools, which have been under the care of Mr. L. W. A. Luckey. The exercises consisted mostly of recitations. The pupils evinced such knowledge of the branches studied that no chance was left for the experienced observer but to conclude that the teacher had carefully instructed, and the pupils thoroughly studied during the term. About three o’clock the principal went into the lower room and addressed the little folks. The recitations still continued in the advanced room in a pleasant manner, until the principal returned; it was then observed that bis face wore a very sad expression. He then addressed the students; scarcely had he commenced speaking when every eye was filled with tears. Soon the bell rang for dismission when one of his pupils arose, and in behalf of the school presented the teacher with a large and bcautfully bound bible and a very pretty writing desk. This was a surprise to Mr. Luckey, but the presents were received with an appropriate speech of thanks. The teacher has certainly won the respect of all his pupils, and we believe our school was never more prosperous. The singing was excellent. All in all the day was one of pleasure. Parental Spectator. Communicated. Forty persons participated in a birthday party last Thursday given in honor of the 85th birthday of Mrs. Rachel Walters, of Lnion township. She received several nice presents from her children and grand-children. Mr. Charles Baker and wife, the granddaughter of Mrs. Walters, of Winchester, were present on the occasion. Mrs. Walters is the mother of eleven children, grand-mother of forty-five children and great grand-mother of fortysix children. Notice. To the Township Assessors of Adams county: I have been reliably informed from Indianapolis that the time for meeting of the assessors has been extended to the fifteenth day of April. ' As the tax bill is stiU pending in the 1 legislature and as 1 shall not get the ■ assessors’ blanks printed until some- ■ thing definite is known you will please not call for books and papers until further notice. ■ G. Christen, Auditor. FLAX STUIW WANTED. To the farmers of jtdams and .4 dj •fining Counties. • I will call your attention to a matter that concerns you as well as myself. The culture of flax is very imperfectly 1 understood by a large majority of our ; farmers. I desire to call your attention to a few very important points and if proper consideration is given my views 1 have no doubt but that pecuniary benefits will accrue to those who ' may see proper to follow my instruci tious. As a general rule our farmers I do not properly prepare the soil for flax ■ seed. The next evil is their- seeing, I which is generally succeeded with a crop of weeds and fox-tails instead of lint and seed. Two pecks of seed to the acre may produce an average crop if the season is very favorable, but three pecks to the acre is more certain taking everything into consideration. The best soil for to sow flax on is sod ground, and next best to that is good clean corn stubble. The ground should be well prepared, well ploughed and harrowed fine. Get a field roller and make your ground smoothe and fine, then sow your seed and brush it in with a brush, and put no less than \ three pecks to an acre of ground. I Our farmers let the seed get too ripe ; before harvesting ; the result is shrink - j age in seed and a very unprofitable ar- ' ticle to the crusher or manufacturer. | Don’t let your flax get ripe before cut- ■ ting; it is necessary, but wrong. Some | think seed ought to have a brown color before it is fit to cut. This is a mis- 1 take. When seed is fairly formed in the boll, and begins to harden a little, cut down your flax and let it ripen in the swath. It will mature in 8 or 10 days. You will then have a quality of seed that will be desirable. Seed saved in this way will weigh six pounds more to the stroked bushel than seed that has ripened while standing. Try it once and you will be convinced. The next matter of importance is taking care of the straw so it will realize for you the highest market price. The farmers of Huntington and adjoining counties are rotting their straw before bringing it into the market and they are well pleased with the arrangement, as the cost of rotting amounts to but very little to the farmers as they are provided with ever facility. This idea of rotting may not meet with much favor; but I have no fears. After the first experiment has been tried you will never want to sell green straw after- , wards when you can get from S 2 to $3 per ton more for rotted than for unrotted. For your information I will say that one man ean spread out font tons per day, and this amount should cover one acre of ground as near as possible. It must be shook out and spread very light so the grass underneath can be seen. There is one great advantage in I light spreading; it rots and dry? quick- i ly. It will not rot evenly if it is laid down in bunches, as the inside receives material benefit while the exposed parts will bo properly rotted. There

need be no misunderstanding. When farmers come to market their straw and, if 1 should find fault, say: ‘•Well, I spread it out and did as you directed, I can tell how it has been treated. ] 5 sometimes get straw that is rotted enough before the seed is taken off. I also get some that is about half rotted. These two qualities 1 can use by mixing with well rotted stock. 1 The average price for different qualities will be : For long, clean and well rotted straw,s6 ; green and unrotted, $3. The cost of rotting will not exceed 60 cents per ton to those who own the ground and have cheap labor. Farmers having straw of last years crop will find a market for it. 11 further information is wanted by any parties they will find me at the factory, | 4 Farmers wanting to buy seed for j I sowing can be accommodated by call- i ing on Niblick, Crawford <fe sons.
