Fuel is getting in good demand. The Hessian fly has injured early sown wheat to some extent. A crowd of our young people are going hickory-nutting to-morrow. The last Rome City excursion, for the season, went through Thursday. The G? K & I. and the T. D. & B. roads both have a new time card out. Rev. M. M. Gleason will preach at the*Sl. E. church, Sabbath morning and evening. Wet weather has considerably interfered with work on the sewer the last two weeks. Samuel Gates invites the people to his grand opening of the New York Clothing House. The Alert base ball club of this place propose playing against the Van Wert boys at Van Wert in two weeks. Whether E. Mosimen, of Bluffton, has had his buggy repaired, remains a mystery to some of the Decatur ladies Contractors should not fail to examine the notice “sealed proposals’’ for building stone street and alley crossings. The young ladies’ social of the P. C., at the Burt House, though not largely attended, was a pleasant occasion for those present. On arising Monday morning, C. T. Dorwin found to his astonishment that the cows had held a surprise party in his front yard. Ten cows being present. The contractor lias passed the one thousand foot stake of the sewer on Third street, from which point west the diameter of the sewer inside will be two feet. When you put up your stove for winter, examine your pipe, flues and connections, as by so doing a fire may be avoided that is not down on the programme. We invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Buckeye M'f’g Co., Marion, Ohio, in another column. They offer rare inducements to earn an honest living. Two of the south end belles arc soon to be married, so says Madam Rumor. They will doubtless be the most brilliant weddings of the season. Further notice will be given in dae time. Dr. Devilbiss wishes The Democrat to inquire of S. D. Kunkle, C. D. Kun kle. Ruben Chenoweth, Alex Bell and John Watts, what kind of a time they, had coon hunting last Saturday night? Dr. Jewell, of Chicago, was in town Monday, to see R. R. Allison. He pronounces his case of rheumatism critical but thinks by proper care and treatment he can be restored to his health in a year or eighteen months time. Saturday forenoon there was an immense throng of people on the streets. Business men were busy as bees. Had it not been for the rain in the afternoon, it would have been the biggest day for business in the history of Decatur. There will be au English sermon at the Catholic Church, Sunday morning at 10 o’clock, the subject of which will be the answer to the Boy Preacher's remarks about Catholics worshiping idols and pictures. Everybody is invited to attend, especially our Protestant friends. A sack of the new process flour of Messrs Patterson and Pillars, was left at the residence of the editor last week. It is enough to say that our “better half” says she never used better, in which opinion, after a faithful inspection of the product wc heartily concur, and recommend a trial. Messrs. Patterson and Pillars ground six hundred and eighteen bushels of wheat for the customers last week, which they consider a pretty fair week’s business for the custom department of their mill. Their new machinery is giving great satisfaction to the patrons of the mill. While John Shirey was driving, Monday afternoon his horse frightened at a dog and ran away. Mr. S. was thrown out of the buggy, falling on his arm and causing a bad bruise. Dollie Hill, who was with him, was thrown out at the same time, but escaped without injury. The horse was caught before running a great distance. A genteel sleek looking young man, with the air and manner of a sharper, was noticed Wednesday at the Van Wert junction on the T. D. & B. R. R. who was soliciting subscriptions for the Garfield monument. He took in threedollars while under our informant s surveillance. Before people give him their money, his crededentials should undergo a critical examination, as The Democrat has good reasons for believing that the money will be used for the personal benefit of the solicitor. He is undoubtedly a swindler.

The fifth annual hop of the Knights of Pythias will be this month. Wood is wanted on subscription at The Democrat office. I. J. Miesse proposes giving a dance to the railroad boys next week. The Chicago base ball club won the league chapionship again this year. The new sign in front of Pierce's drug store is a decided improvement. The circuit court will adjourn Saturday. The docket has been pretty effectually disposed of. Peter Tonuellier, of Richmond, Ind. has bought property in Bluffton, for the purpose of starting a saloon. Wm. P. Moon invites the public to call upon him in his new quarters through The Democrat. His stock is fresh and complete. The Democrat Annual for 1882 will be a thing of beauty. We shall call upon our friends for advertising favors in a few days. The New Home sewing machine, represented by Foster and Brothers took all the premiums, ten in number, at the Northern Indiana Fair. Deputy Sheriff Joe Thomas, took Albert Sharp to Michigan City this week, where he will be confined in the northern penitentiary for one yexr. John King, jr , is pushing the brick work on his new wagon manufactory. When completed it will add immensely to his facilities for doing business. Taylor’s sale of buggies, last Saturday, was a failure. There was none sold at public sale. Whether any were sold at private sale or not we did not learn. By reference to court proceeding it will be seen that Amos Bechtel has been sentenced to the House of Refuge, Indianapolis. The Sheriff will remove him at an early day. E. A. Hackett, of the Fort Wayne Sentinel and Hon. J. D. Sarninghausen, of the Staats Zc.itnng, called on The Democrat yesterday. They were witnesses in a legal case sent here on a change of venue from Allen county. The plasterers have already commenced their work and will push it forward until completed. Plumbers ■ are at work putting up gas pipe. And the prospects now are that the M. E. church will be completed some time before the holidays. Lorin Z. Ayers a young man of good repute and fine attainments, son of Drayton Avers was buried at Decatur, Tuesday. ” lie died df typhoid fever. The family have been seriously afflicU'd, having lost a member each year for the last three years. Last Saturday some fun loving boys elevated an old wagon wheel and placed it on the top of the spire of the new M E. Church now building. In the morning it looked as if some one was about starting a wheel of fortune in that elevated region. It was a harmless expenditure of muscle, and no doubt paid them quite as well as some other investments they have made. Subscribers to the Tin: Democrat who live out of the county must pay their subscription in advance. All who do not renew their subscription by the Ist, of November, unless their papers have been ordered by friends who live here, will have their papers stopped at that time as it will be considered that they do not wish their subscriptions renewed.

Mr. Lou Gast and his sister Regena, who spent last week in Louisville, Kentucky, returned homo Saturday afternoon, reporting a pleasant time. Mr. and Mrs. Jake Shaffer entertained a large party of friends at their home Wednesday evening, in honor of the fifth anniversary of their marriage. Miss Ella Schirmeyer, who has been teaching music in Portland, for the past three months, camo home Saturday to spend a week with her friends. The dance given in honor of the Misses Niblick, of Decatur, and Misses Sailor and Laufman, last evening was a grand affair. Dailey’s orchestra discoursed some fine music. Bluffton Timet. The Misses Mary and Amellia Niblick, of Decatur, returned home last Monday, after having visited friends and relatives in this place several weeks Bluffton Chronicle. Gas Light for Decatur. A gentlemen of means has been conferring with some of our citizens in regard to erecting gas works at this place. He proposes to put up the works, lay down the gas pipe and take his chances for customers sufficient to remunerate him for his outlay. It would be a great convenience, in fact it is almost a necessity. It is however, an open question which is the best and cheapest light, gas or electricity. In some places both are used and each system have their friends. The Democrat has not bad opportunity to investigate the two systems with a view of its adaptability to a place of the size of Decatur, consequently is not prepared to give an intelligent opinion of their merits. Business. The Democrat suggest to our business men that it pays to advertise. J Fort Wayne business men, if solicited would use the columns of The Democrat to twice the amount they now do. They would not advertise if it did not pay: neither should you; and if it pays you should not neglect it. The Democrat asks no business as a matter of charity, but suggest that it would be profitable to both parties in more ways than one. The advertising patronage of our county papers is not as it should be, a reflex of the business of the cdunty. That patronage does not show what we arc doing; it but feebly indicates the business interests of our people. It is just as important to show this to the outside world as it is to know what we are doing ourselves. It would, were it represented, show that we are a live go ahead people, and be a standing invitation to others to come and share our prosperity. Minutes of the S. S Convention October 8, 1881. The convention met at Pleasant Mills, as had been arranged at the previous meeting at Decatur. The house was called to order, with Prof. Luckey, Vice President, in the chair. Exercises opened with a song, and | prayer by Rev. M. S. Metts. The subjects were then taken up and very ably treated. The first subject, “Personal Effort, Zeal, Love, Consecreation and expectation, necessary to success in Sabbath school work,” was treated by Rev. Metts. He gave the subject due consideration, dwelling at length upon expectation necessary to a successful result. The next subject, “bible study, the hope of the church, the nation’s safety,” was taken by Prof. G. W. A. Luckey, who explained very clearly the results and benefits to be derived from a careful study of the bible. Mr. Holmes took up the subject, “the work and worth of the Sabbath school,” and showed to a certainty that this is very great. The next subject, “how to promote the habit of thinking on the lesson, while engaged in daily labor,” was very ably discussed by Mr. E. N. Wicks. He said that this habit could be promoted like any other habit, viz., by indulging it, but he did not think it best to promote such a habit as persons were liable not to give weighty subjects due consideration while eagaged in daily labor, and thereby make serious mistakes.” By request of the convention, Prof. Luckey gave an account of the “origin | and advancement of the international lesson system.” This was very enlightening and entertaining. Sentiments were then generally exchanged. A motion was then carried to the effect that the convention actively take up the idea of having a Sabbath school teacher’s institute. By consent of the convention the President appointed a ccmmitte on programme, which consists of Rev’s Metts, Kanouse, Dustman, Prof. Hastings, Mrs. Dr. Holloway and Miss Maggie Dorwin. The thanks of the convention was then tendered to the trustees and person who opened the church. The convention then adjourned to meet at Decatur, the second Friday evening in May, 1882, and to continue on the following Saturday. S. G. Hastings, Pres’t. J, R. McConahjsy, Seo’y.
