THEDECATURDEMOCRAT. BY 8. RAY WILLIAM*. DECATUR, INDIANA. Thursday, April 14, 1881. THE IIF.MOI HA r'S A<.KXTS, As fast an satisfactory arraugcmenta can be made we will hove an Agent for The Democrat at each postoiHce in the County, the name, of whom will be kept standing in the paper. We do thia for the convenience of our subscribers, and trust they wilt appreciate It. Suoacribero can pay their aubacrlptlon, oratiy part thereof, or any sum of money, to our aaente, who will receipt for the aame, and who aloo will take the names and cash of new subscribers. The lollowlnn are the names of agents already appointed, and our patrons ar the several oßiees will <l« ■» * great favor by remitting to them a “Utile rnnfj on subscription:” ( \V.

It’s a downright shame. —, The Christiancy nastiness is now fairly on in Washington, and lovers of that kind of literature will watch for their morning papers with unusual interest —As heretofore published in these columns we are uncompromisingly in favor of a stringent liquor law, and would be equally uncompromisingly in favor of a prohibition law if prohibition would prohibit. The present legislature of Indiana has passed some sort of prohibition amendment. That is, they sought to escape the wrath of the people whom they had betrayed by pasaftig <• bitt that nitl, *4‘ kj. the Governor and passed by another legislature, place the question of prohibition square in the hands of the voters of this commonwealth. The bill, however, is full of faults, objections and inconsistencies. It is to prohibit one class of business men from manufacturing and selling intoxicants. At the same time it permits another class of business men to sell intoxicants, providing a little quinine, or j. peppermint or some other Harmless stuff is added. Now the question that arises is a fair one : Will this in any manner check the great sufferings inflicted upon poor humanity through the intemperate use of intoxicants? We are not prepared to answer our own interrogatory, but should the bill become the law* of the State it is to be hoped that 1 much good will be derived therefrom. A Romantic Marriage. [Auburn Courier ] In the quiet town of Waterloo, there dwelleth two widows, who are neighbors, viz: The widow Yant and the widow Lent. The widow Yant has an otdv son. called George A., whom the boys call “Burt,” and the widow Lent has (or had, for Burt has got her now) an only daughter, called Celia. The widow's son and the widow's daughter had a great hankering for each others society. The widow Lent was displeased thereat, and made Celia a proposition to visit the Academy of the Lady of the Sacred Heart, near the city of Ft. Wayne, which Celia unsuspectingly accepted, and they started thither a week ago last Monday, and, after they tarried there a few hours, the widow proposed to leave Celia in care of the lady superior of the academy, at which Celia was exceedingly wroth, and administered such a chastisement to the lady superior as to effect her release. Then the widow proposed to Celia to go to Chicago, in the land of Illincis, and Celia consented, and the twain wended their way thither, but some way or qjher, Celia managed to notify the widow Yant's son, who also proceeded to Chicago, in the land of Illinois, and came to Celia s rescue and married her, and brought her home with him on the fast train on Monday evening, and the evening and the morning were the seventh day, and they all rested, and everything is now .quiet on the Potomac.

KCTttIIKMSESiSKCIiini BY DR. A. B. JAMISON, Who is permanently located at Decatur, j — Satisfaction Guaranteed I PILES-NO CURE, NO PAY’ I Os the many cases I am now treating 1 and have examined I find it a common so- , 1 tion of the sufferers “that they have the ! Piles.” They write, send or ask for medi- ■ cine for the Piles. You can not tell, nor could I, if I t>to ' xot make an exsmintion. You wouldjust 1 as likely be right to call all trouble of the 1 Rectum Cancer as to call it the Piles.“lf you have a sore throat you desire to know what kind—Diptheria, Tonsillitis; if fever —Bilious, Lung, Brain, Typhoid, etc., then . you have an idea of the danger. Then I why call every trouble of the Rectum Piles 1 f Hundreds of young men and women and older persons go to their grave from Rectal diseases—most likely Ulceration or Cancer —and the so called Piles are not , accused of murder. Never say you have the Piles unless some I phveieian tells you so, or any ocher difficulty; and know how high—one, two or three inches—and how much surface diseased. f One-half of the cases lam called on to examine or treat have no Piles at all. but f a disease a thousand time worse. I find many troubled with Piles, Tabs and Utcubatiox I have yet to find a simple case > of Piles without ulceration. Dr. Allingham says “Ulceration extend- > ing above the interna! sphincter, aud fre . quently situated entirely above that muscle, ! is not so very uncommon a disease; it in- . flicts great misery upon the patient, and, if neglected, leads to conditions quite incurable, and the patient t>ixs of exhaustion unless extraordinary means are resorted to. In the earliest stages of the malady - careful, rational and prolonged treatment ■ is often successful and the patient is restored to health; I wish I could say the same of the severe and long-standing cases. i Ulceration of the rectum can only be mistaken for malignant diseases. * * s As the earlier manifestations are fairly f amenable to treatment, it is of the utmost , importance that the disease should be I recognized early.” I believe it to be malignant, and have cases that speak for themselves. If you have any trouble come in time and find out your danger. Find outjhow much your head, memory, heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, bladder, womb, back and tegs are troubled from your diseased Rectum. I could name many persons that I am . now treating who have some one or two ] organs deraug-d and have spent a great deal of money to no purpose, because it ’ poes not reach the cause of trouble. I Gvabaxtee the Cvre of Piles. Should I fail, I will pay your Railroad and Hotel Bills, return every cent you have paid, - and make you a present of One llcsdbkd Dollars. • Examination free to all.

PULVERIZING HARROW, ■ < .CLODCRUSHER ANO IEVELER. = I 1 ~ I 4nr The undersigned has the agency 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? This que-tion is answered by the foli lowing 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 was found sufficient between the 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 ground and find that it does not tear up | the sod." | “On a piece of old meadow, awful tough sod, the common harrow only made scratch i marks and the Acme made the land all ! fine to the depth of three or four inches.” “Have worked it on flat ground plowel I last fall, which had not been plowed for thirty years. Going over it both ways it cut it up like an ash heap.” For further particulars or information call on or address the agent. 1 will also canvass the above named counties and , earnestly solicit a trial of the harrows ’ by enterprising farmers.
