Harriet!.— On June 9th, 1881, by James R. Smith, J. P., Mr. Thomas Buckmaster to Miss Mary S. Brandyberry. All of Adams county. Masonic.— All M. M. of Decatur Lodge No. 254, arc requested to meet at the Lodge room at 9 o’clock, a. m. on J uly 4th. By order of the Lodge. N. Blackbukn, W. M. Dedication.— The U. B Union Chapel, in Root township, three miles northeast of Dacatur, will be dedicated on Sunday, 10th of July. Rev. Dillion, of Dayton, Ohio, will deliver the dedicatory sermon. Clipped.— While at work Monday in Jackson's factory Joseph Cratner met with an accident that caused a small circular saw to clip one of his fingers off. He will be relieved from duty for several days in consequence thereof. Accidents.— On Thursday Mr. Jesse Butler had one of his fingers so crushed in the pulley of a hay fork as to render amputation necessary. On the same day a child of Mr. Chas. John fell from a fence which resulted in a broken arm. Dr. Freeman was the attending physician in both cases. Good Oder.— G. W. Michael, proprietor of Pen Art Hall at Deleware, Ohio, has written Mr. Leonard Luckey, offering him sixteen hundred dollars for fifty weeks labor in assisting him to teach the art of penmanship. He desires that Leonard begin work on the first of September, should he accept the offer. Bugg ie<«. —Sheldon ahead : another big sale of buggies July Ist.. 1881, at Sheldon, Ind., by Taylor & Sons. Music by the band, organ, etc. Ladies and all invited. Go and have a good time. These sales are hard to beat. Thirty buggies sold each day ; average about $190.00. Everybody wants a Sheldon buggy for the Fourth. adv.

What’s the Hatter?— On Monday last Mr. Frank Hicks, of Indianapolis, sent a telegram from that city at 8:30 a. m. to Godfrey Christen, stating that he (Hicks) would be in Decatur at 3:15 p. m. of the same day. Immediately after sending the telegram, or delivering it to the operator at Indianapolis rather, Mr. Hicks got aboard the train for Fort Wayne. At 3:15 he was in Decatur. Thirty minutes after his arrival at the Auditor’s office the telegram sent from Indianapolis at 8:30 a. m. was delivered to Mr. Christen. It would seem difficult to find any reasonable excuse for such carelessness on the part of telegraph operators. Good. — While it is true two or three weeks ago the prospects for a wheat crop in Adams county were anything but flattering it is at this writing equally true that the crop will be far from a failure. Some farmers report that they will have a third of a crop, while others believe theirs will reap fully a half crop. Many fields of corn had to be re planted, but the cut-worms are now gone and with favorable weather we may look for a fair crop. Oats arc comparatively good, while the hay crop is by no means a failure. All in all we think it safe to say that the crops of Adams county will not be such as will cause much coinplaint. Cruelty.— An egotistical little ass by the name of Hahn, teacher of the parochial school of one of the churches in Root township, has recently been conducting himself in a manner that should prompt the citizens in that vicinity to kick him until his boot heels would dance a jig on his shirt collar. The conduct, as told to us, is as follows: One day lastweek a couple of his scholars, boys about twelve years old, were playing at recess, which is doubtless their privilege, but which however was contrary to the rule of the pastor and teacher. Proceeding to his stable this ungodly and depraved specimen of humanity brings into use a buggy whip, the heavy butt end of which was applied to the almost bare back of one of the boys until the doctor, who was called, counted fifteen welts as thick as a man’s thumb. If the citizens of that community longer tolerate such an inhuman being to preach to them the word of God they are most certainly lost to every semblance of respect for themselves and the world in general. A~CARD. The Geneva correspondent of The Decatur Democrat in the issue of June 9, 1881, gave quite a lengthy notice of ourselves and others buggy-rid-ing, etc , and our condition at the time. We care not to have the truth published, but the greater portion of his (Rus-ti-cus') article was a base and degrading falsehood which he cannot substantiate. But this article is only one among many written by this filthy liar, “Rus-ti-cus” (Jim Riggs.) Such an article would do us no harm where we are known, but among those who are unacquainted with us it might be taken for substantial facts. All who are acquainted with the writer (Rus-ti-cus,) will with one accord, at once state that honor, veracity and principle, are entirely wanting in the make up of his character. D. M. Hoskinson, M. M. Foster.

I The undersigned has the agency for the • above machine for Adams and Wells I counties. The Acme Harrow has been brought to ! its present state of perfection only after years spent tn experimenting and a large 1 expenditure of money. WHAT IS IT USED FOR ? This question is answered by the folI lowing extiacts 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.” I “On*a piece of old meadow, awful tough ■ sod, the common harrow only made scratch . marks and the Acme made the land all fine to 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 cut it up like an ash heap.” For further particulars or information call on or address the agent. I will also canvass the above named counties and \ earnestly solicit a trial of the harrows by enterprising farmers. Residence, northeast of Adams Stave Factory, Decatur, Ind.
