The undersigned will offer at public sale in the town of Decatur, Ind., on Saturday, May 14th, 1381, at 2 o’clock r. m , forty acses of timber land, situated in Kirkland township, Adams cotiiny, Ind , near the road leading from Decatur to Buffion, 7J miles southwest of Decatur and 1 j miles south of Gath P. O„ adjoining lands of Andrew Hower, M. Perry, Samuel Weldy and others. The cesditione are: One-half of the purchase money to be paid on the Ist of April, 1882, the balance in two equal annual payments bearing 6 percent, interest from the Ist day of April, 1882.

The “Acme."—This superior harrow subjects the soil to the action of a crusher and leveler, and at the same time to the cutting, lifting, turning process of double rows of steel coulters, the peculiar shape and arrangement of which gives immense cutting power. For sale by Phillip Hendricks. — « ■ Located.—Mr. D. T. Spriggs, the cattle king, has located for this season at Bluffton, where he will keep on hand at all times a large number of the celebrated Short Horns. Adams county farmers who failed to purchase while Mr. Spriggs was in Decatur will do well to call on him at Bluffton. List of Unclaimed Letters—remaining in the Deeatur Postoffice Adams county, Ind., for the week ending April 11,1881. Legget Isaac Snyder J. M. Lord Lewis H. Shaffer Miss Amy Zar Miss Otta Persons calling for the above letters will please say advertised. B. W. Sholty, P. M. Sudden Death.—Alexander Baughman, who resided two and a-half miles north of Berne, died very suddenly last Thursday while visiting friends in Licking county, Ohio. Mr. Baughman had been sick just prior to his visit in Ohio, but having been restored to his usual health he ventured the trip and a relapse followed, resulting, as above stated, in his death on Thursday last. His remains were laid at rest in Licking county. A Queer Institution.—The Elkhart Democrat speaking of a monstrosity brought to that city, says of it: “This monstrosity was a perfect pig in all its parts except the head, which was a miniature elephant’s to all appearances. The ears were exactly like an elephant’s; trona the center and high in the forehead was the trunk, which was about two and a half inches in length, hanging down below the mouth, which was also very elephantine. There were also indications of the tusks, and had it lived there is scarcely a doubt but that they would have grown, but nature had undertaken too large a job for the foundation, and the constitution of the pig succumbed and it died on the third day." Don't Mix—Don't mix a aorporation ticket this time. Let the Democrats of Decatur corporation meet in caucus and nominate a ticket for corporation offices composed of true and tried Democrats. Don’t fritter away party strength again on a so-called peoples ticket. It is a sham and a delusion. Let each party nominate a ticket and the Democrats will not be insulted again by seeing “a great Republican victory" specially telegraphed to the city dailies. If we haven't enough brains in out party to manage the affairs of this little corporation it is high time we abandoned the name of Democrat. We have good and efficient men for trustees, for elerk, for marshal; therefore let a good, sound and efficient ticket be put in nomination and it will be overwhelmingly elected. The way to gain State and national victories is to begin at home. A straight Democratic ticket or none. The Conference.—The M E. Conference, held at Wabash, completed its labors on Monday. It will be observed that Rev. M. S. Metts has been appointed to this charge, while Rev. Carns goes to North Manchester. North Magchaster is an enterprising tewn of Wabash county. It is at the crossing of the Eel River and Cincinnati & Warsaw railroads ; has a $9,000 church and good parsonage. We understand Rev. Carns is well pleased with his appointment. Rev. Metts comes here from Tipton, and those who know him say a congregation never sleeps while he is talking. Following are the appointments for this, the Fort Wayne district : Y. B. MERIDITH, P. E.

South Bend has three daily papers. But little moving was done on the Ist. Good butter is not to be had these days. Decatur ought to have a public library. Onion sets are worth their weight in greenbacks. Immense piles of new goods arriving at Niblick's. Work on the Monroe street sewer I will begin in a few days. France & King are fixing their law office up in good shape. Bro. Phillips of the Journal attended the conference at Wabash. Harvey liarruff of Berne paid us a friendly and subst .ntial call on Monday. We would like to have every voter in Adams county subscribe for this paper. Those Wjtbash editors are publishing unpleasant things about each other again. The Dayton Herald has undertaken a job of huge dimensions—that of “busting up" the variety dives in that beautiful city. The ones who find the most fault with newspapers are the deadbeats that never subscribe or pay them a cent. There is a moral to this. After investing in a new suit of clothes and squaring up some accounts, Jim Buttercup had fifteen dollars left. He is now looking up a good location for a hotel. Miss Lou Allen, of Brimfield, Ind., a niece of Mrs. L. T. Kennedy, is now engaged with the latter in the dressmaking business. Sue will remain through the summer. We’ll bet a cent that not a man who has blown out the gas and been suffocated during the past ten years ever took and read his county newspaper. Now is the time to subscribe. Remember that Terveer A Bowers sell the champion reaper and mower, the leading machine in the known world. It leads—others try to follow. See their advert : sement in this paper. The season for clipping the hair short is about to set iu, and you will be unable to distinguish a Sunday school superintendent from a prize fighter, unless you have a superior knowledge of physiognomy. Rev. Adams missed the train at Fort Wayne while on his way here from conference at Wabash, but not liking to remain in the city until the next day he started on foot for Deca tur, completing his journey about ten o'clock at night. The other day at Canton, Ohio, a young man went into a saloon, called for a glass of beer, drank it, and dropped dead. An examination by physicians demonstrated that the beer, immediately after having been drank, fermented, causing paralysis of the heart, from which death was instantaneous. Our inquiry of last week has been answered and we can now say to our readers that Messrs. Allison and Studabaker arc the parties contemplating the erection of a brick block this season. The block will be on the lot just south of Edington's store. The contract is let and work will begin as soon as the weather will permit. Dr. Schrader, whose card appears elsewhere in this paper, will be at the Meisse House on Wednesday, May 11, where he invites all who are afflicted to call and consult him. He comci highly recommended by citizens of our neighboring county, Wells, and who have known him as a man and physician for many years. He is no traveling humbug or quack, but a professional man who advertises himself and remidies as they really are. Even newspaper men occasionally make mistakes, and are often the volunteer victims of huge jokes at their own expense. The “Marriage in High Life” article that was published in week before last's Journal was clipped from the Kokomo Dispatch for Tin: | Democrat, and would have appeared ' in these columns the same week that it did in the Journal had we hung it on the copy hook. But John Welfly was to have been the grocer in our account of the “wedding."

Congleton 1 are seen in the editorial columns of the Journal. , If Gentle Annie should happen to be i skirmishing around in this part of the < country she’d get frost bitten. For the benefit of those who might , forget it we will put the fact in cold j type that next Sunday is Easter. We printed bills this week for Jacob I J. Hass’ sale, to take place at his farm in French township on the 21st, one , week from to-day. ( And Goshen is to have a daily paper too. If some fellow will loan us i twenty-five thousand dollars we’ll publish a daily in Decatur. Billy McMahone, of the Bluffton Tinies, is going to publish a daily paper in a weekly town. Better stop while your credit's good, Mae. ( The Triumph says a certain piece of i Geneva calico causes a flutter in the i bosom of a young man of Deeatur. | Give us the name, Charlie. t The snow has sufficiently disappear- 1 ed to enable Decatur ladies to crawl out through the chimney tops and return their last October calls. We learn that in case Prof. Hastings decides not to stay another year the friends of Mr. J. M. Pearce will petition the school board to hire that gentleman. Marshal Rhodes met with a painful accident a few evenings since. He was after same galloot and while passing through an alley run a rusty nail ( in his foot. Decatur is getting to be one of the , largest horse markets in this section of the country. Better prices are being paid by our buyers than in any of our ■ neighboring towns. * The Democrat welcomesßev. Metts to Deeatur, and earnestly hopes he may s be successful in bringing in many a stray sheep. He’ll find whole flocks in t this neck o' woods to work upon. s At Richmond the roads are dusty and the grass is beginning to wear a j verdant hue. Here in Decatur there t is still some snow and the grass—widows well, they are just too sweet. The future prospects for Decatur ) are very gratifying. All we need, or one of the most important things needed is a city charter. We’ll bet a pint 1 of beans our friend Conrad Brake will 1 say “Nixy. ” We are pleased to note the fact that ( Bro. Hackett is prospering finely with the Ft. Wayne Sentinel. He has one ' of the best arranged and most complete . offices in the state, and the true Democracy of Allen should give him their heartiest support. One of our young men is corresponding with an Ohio widow who has six children. She is of medium height, blind in the left eye, forty-nine year's old and left handed. He says he wants a Melinda that the boys won’t be trying to mash. Sensible young mau. We were shown through the hardware store of Terveer & Bowers last Saturday, and can truthfully say that it is the largest stocked and best arranged and neatest appearing store of the kind that we have seen in a long 1 time. Their books show that a very handsome trade is crowning their efforts to keep up with the times. The sermon of Rev. J. B. Carns before the A. M. E. Church in the Opera House from the text Genesis 7th chapter, Ist verse "And the Lord said unto Noah come into the Ark then and thy house," was a most attraotive and interesting discourse, dealing with the “scientific” quibbles in a masterly man- | ner, and marks Mr. Carns as among I the most able preachers in the Con- | ference. He goes to North Manchester this year, and we congratulate the Methodists and the people generally on their good fortune in having him appointed there.- IFubtwA Plain Dealer. •••. •*■ " n’..» 4

The whereabouts of James Stoops ire as yet unknown to his friends in Decatur. We learn that Henry Hite has re ared from the firm of J. E. McKendsry & Co. They were twina. The parents christened one of them Kate and the ether Duplicate. Eugene Morrow, of Linn Grove, is in Fort Wayne purchasing goods for the spring trade. Some friend has ourthanks forcopies of the Solid Muldoon, published at Ouray, Colorado. Section hands were ordered to watch the railroad bridges across the Wabash and Limber Lost. An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Stauffer, of Hartford township, died on Sunday evening last. From the peculiar carriage of some of Decatur's gents they must have taken a trip over the M. K. & T. At the recent election Delphos voted a tax for building the T. D. 4 B. shops. There were but two votes against. Candidates for county offices are already at work, and yet the time for nominating is more than a year hence. A negro barber of Marion tried to kill one of his customers while suffering from a terrible case of jim jams. The barber was lodged in jail. W. M. Williams, until recently one of the live business men of Willshire, has located in Lima, Ohio, and orders The Democrat to follow him. It often occurred to us that if a man were to set out calling everything by its right name he would be knocked down before he went a great distance. Charges of a very serious character were preferred [against Rev. McCarty at the Wabash conference. They were placed in the proper committee’s hands. We understand that Mr. J. McGonagle afid his son-in-law, Mr. Walkup, ot the Delphos Courant, contemplate soon starting a paper in some good town in Indiana or Ohio. Hill's Winter Bee Hives arc halved together at the corners; substantially nailed ; accurately cut and put together; painted two coats of durable paint. Their construction is so simple that not a single hook, hinge, or screw is used in building them. They are perfectly free from all unsubstantial fixings that usually accompany other hives. Sold by Terveer & Bowers. The “Skillet” is the name of a new style hat just out, and it is the most outlandish style in the business. The Wabash Courier describes it as follows, adding at the same time that but one young blood as yet appeared upon the streets with a “Skillet upon his head : “Take an ordinary plug hat, soak it in warm water four hours; then kick it from Dan to Beersheba; on arriving at Beersheba trim the rim down to one-fourth its original dimensions; then saw off the crown just above the upper edge of the band ; then stitch a piece of black muslin over the upper opening, and you have a sac smile of of the ‘Skilie t.’ Religious.—Rev. George Adams will preach at the M. E. church next Sabbath, morning and evening. Geneva Gleanings. BY RUS-TI-CUS. The “beautiful" has disappeared. “Old Nick” has got into the Triumph. Geneva has its funnyman as well as other places. Uncle John Ruckmau became a citizen of Geneva. Our summer school commences next Monday under the supervision of Professor Jones. Me cream colored boss beats them all, for me wife say so. Howard and Mollie Haines have moved three miles east of Portland, on a farm. John Shirey is buying the best horses in the country, for which he is paying the highest prices. Bill Wiley is talking something about joining the Roll-Casad Bros.’ show, and has commenced practicing tumbling. Dr. Jay, an old resident of Jay county, died at his home in Briant on Saturday at 3 o'clock A. M., of kidney affection. He was carrying an insurance in the Home Relief Association, of Greenville, Ohio.

What has become of the Pleasant Mills fellow of the Journal? Has he gone west to grow up with the country ? Ans. Roll is going to build a new front and otherwise improve his barbershop in away that would dazzle the eyes of the bon tons of Paris. The Triumph man was reared and fostered in the Republican party, and has not been a Democrat long enough to forget the modus operandi of changing the “returns.” Hence the conglomeration of that little type-setting work last week. A little girl, about nine years old, , of Joseph Christman’s, who lives about ■ four miles northeast of here, undertook to kindle a fire with paper, on Friday 1 of last week, when her clothes took , i fire and nearly all burnt off of her bej j fore the flames could be extinguished, j She inhaled the flames and was brunt I so bad inwardly that she died on Sat- ’ | urday. , | Mr. and Mrs. Holmes, of Portland, ' spent Sunday in Geneva, the guests of i Mr. and Mrs. J.

I They went from here to Briant, Mon- ' day, where they intend to protract a ■ meeting. ; It is diverting to hear Uncle George i Pontius relate how his old lady was go- . ing to hold the horses once while he i . trounced an insurance agent. You may . • bet that Riggs will never say insurance to him after hearing it. Messrs. Reed & Shultz, of Portland, have bought the Ceylon grist mill, i They propose hereafter that the mill , shall make as large a turnout and as ! good a quality of flour as any mill in the country.
