- * " ' - ■“ THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT. 1 ... Xi== i - - ==S P ll\ 5..« IT WILMIM* n Thursday, August 18, 1881. ' ’ . c News from Washington is anytiling but encouraging. The president. though some better than otl W ednes day evening, is still a very siek man, ( :nd the people may prepare for the ‘ Worst. It is now regarded by eminent physicians as only a matter of time, and that very brief, when President Gahfiii.d will be no more of earth. His stomach refuses toperform its natural functions and there is no denying j the fact that the doctors have but little faith that he can ever recover. A Brief Review ol a Few of our Live and Enterprising ■ Business Men. J. W. Ki.einhenz. This is a fast age in which we move nnd have our being, and the average citizen does not wait for the morrow, for the joy« and pleasures belong to him who enjoys a social glass of foaming lager at the sample rooms of J. W. Kleinhenz, situated on the east side of Second street, lie is not only a genial fellow, but in pool and billiards lie has everything to a "queen’s taste, and it is a “cold day ’ when he don t accommodate the boys with fine cigars and all other articles pertaining to his traffic. Call and sample for yourself. Jacob Martin. For thirteen long years this enterprising gentleman has been identified with the business interests of Decatur, ami when vou speak of the Bakery and Confectionary of Jacob Martin, every child in Adams county knows just who vou mean. lie bakes fresh bread and cakes every day and when you are trad- ; ing with him you need not have any fears that you are getting a stale article. lie is especially prepared to give you * good lunch at all hours, and at this time he has some of the finest brands of fresh oysters known to the ■ market. Mr. Martin is a genial good fellow and we are pleased to note that he is the recipient of a large trade at the hands of the good people of Decatur and vicinity. Donovan & Adlesbrgeb. I The firm who deals in staple goods , to-day must be w'de-awake and enterprising and know just how to purchase t goods that will recommend themselves , to the buyer when tried, and when you . find a grocery house of this kind you ran rest assured that they are on the , high road to prosperity, and we are pleased to find ono of that description in Decatur, that of Donovan & Adies- -j berger. This firm have been in active business here for over six years and they arc well and favorably known by the people of this and adjoining counties, and their popularity in the past fully attest their ability to meet the c wants of the people in a well selected ‘ stock of staple and fancy groceries. ’ They are making a special feature of ’ tobacco and cigars, and carry one of 1 the largest stocks in thia line ever of- * fcred for sale in Decatur. In wood £ and willow ware they have an elegant assortment, while their stock of canned 1 goods is unsurpassed by any house in s Decatur. They keep smoked meats d and fresh lard at all times. The lead- t ing feature with this firm is that they a do not allow any house to sell goods s cheaper than they do, while they are I actually paying more for country produce than the highest market price. g In short they keep everything known r( •to a well regulated grocery establish- $ ment. Their store is located, on Sec- tl end street opposite the Court House. t r and you should not fail to call and see i E them before buying goods elsewhere. al Meissl- llocse. There is nothing that adds more to the popularity of a town than a well regulated hotel, and Decatur can truly cr boast of one of this class now under 111 the efficient management of the well known and jolly Mr. Meisse. His house is new and each and every room st is supplied with ail the modern con- SI veniem es of today. lie sustained a ai great loss and inconvenience by the sc burning of his hotel a few years ago, ” yet by his energy and affable manner ■ he has succeeded in not only regaining ail of hts old customer--, but he has se- 11 cured a score of new ones. His house *' is always crowded to its utmost eapac- t ity, and the cry is still they come. The 18 traveling public should not fail to call l * ! and see Mr. Meisse wWn they visit 01 • - T Decatur and wc will guanrantce tiat they will Ire received with genuine hos- ‘ t pitality and be provided with the best f a the market affords. 1 _ - ■ of Georgs D. Siihiley. ( ,f 1 here is no establishment in Deca- pj tur to-day that is meeting with greater favor at the hands of the public than that of the new Bakery and Boarding J,j ( house of Geo. 1). Shigley. at Charley re Miller's old stand, one door south of pl Currans drug store. He not only car-, $' a ties a full line of groceries, but he has lniu stock one of the finest lines of si- i gars and tobacco ever offered for sale j in Adams county, lie etpploys a first ,c< class baker and serves up to his many D patrons fresh bread, pjes and cakes I S each and every day. This is cspecia}- L ly a popular resort for those who love a’ a square meal or want a good lunch on w short notice. Mr. Singly is obliging J and courteous to all and as he has just I "embarked in this line of business we t

bespeak for him a liberal share of the public pttronagc. Don't fail to call and see him. - H. A. Curran. .Men of sterling worth arc not to be counted by the thousand, but it Is a happy thought to know that you will ■ find them in all phases of life; men who have the ability to lead out in their profession or calling. In this particular we have been pleased to note the prosperity of the drug firm oi 11. A. Curran. Mr. Curran is a practi- > cal druggist, a man of years and experience, and although he has only been in our midst since 1875. he has. by his fair and honest dealing, won for himself a reputation and patronage that is worthy of the highest commendation. Having graduated years ago at the Princeton University, N. J., he is to day one of the most reliable and trustworthy prescript! mists in Northern Indiana. This house deals in nothing but genuine goods and we venture to say that it would be an utter impossibility to, find an article in his establishment that is not genuine in every particular. We do not hesitate to say that he is one of the representa- 1 five drug firms of Decatur, and carries : one of the beet stocks ever offered for I sale in Adams county. In patent medicines he deals in nothing but what he j can guarantee to le reliable. \\ bile it would be impossible for us to numer ! ate the varied assortments in his line, yet we cannot fail to speak of his ex- , cellcnt quality of oils, wall paper, sta- , tioncry, toilet articles, lamps and truss- : es. Also an elegant assortment of perfumery, and of the best known to j the market. If our readers desire to be treated with genuine courtesy they should not fail to call on Mr Curran the genial and obliging druggist on the corner of Second and Monroe street. Condensed Telegrams. The Hailway Mail Superintendents yesterday referred to a committee the subject of heating postal cars in such a manner as to prevent fire in case ■ of accident to trains.

The editor of the Winchester Journal lost forty dollars in money, the other day. and some valuable papers.

Phillips, the last part of last and the fore part of this week. Miss Leßlond is an accomplished young lady, and Bro. Ed. justly feels a little bit proud in having so excellent a cousin. On Saturday afternoon last, at Henry VoglewedeV west-of town. David Werling threshed 305 bushels of wheat in two hours and twenty-eight seconds. Abrabam Stoneburner and Seth Weldy fed the machine. We believe this is the* fastest work of diet kind on record. Some inhuman villain set fire to James Jones wheat and oat stacks last Thursday morning about three o clock and destroyed his entire crop, about 22.5 bushels of wheit and 150 bushels of oats. Mr. Jones is a hard working farmer of Blue Creek township, and the loss to him is a very severe one. A fire at Hartford City last Monday destroyed $35,00(1 worth of property. The Telegram office was totally destroyed, and what makes so much worse for Bro. Timmonds is that he had not a dollar of insurance on his office. We deeply sympathize with our brother journalist, who. by the way, is one of i the best of newspaper men, and hope ' that Le will soon be able to resume publication.
