Several Decatur people went on the excursion yesterday to Home City. The quaker camp meeting at the fair grounds last Sabbath was a failure. The gypsies that were camping north of town have taken their departure. The cleaning of Sscond street has made a decided improvement in ita appearance. The funeral of Mrs. Henry Derks was one of the largest ever attended in Decatur. Communion services were observed at the Evangelical church last Sunday evening. Charlie Bottcnberg has one of the finest pianos in town, which he is of sering for sale cheap. The M. E. Sunday school retains an average of a hundred and sixty scholars during the warm weather. . Those fields of whest that were winter killed to a considerable extent produced a large per-cent of cheat. Henry Meyers is the champion at killing rattle snakes, he killing five at one time on his farm last week. Shaffer Peterson uhs applied to the quarterly conference of the Evangelical association for a license to preach. Those interested in showing strangers the attractions of Decatur should not forget to call attention to our park. Teachers should get ready to attend the county institute. The announcement of the time and place will appear elsewhere. The manager of the Decatur base ball club has challenged the Bluffton club to play on their ground next Tuesday. Will they accept ? New wheat is not moving very rapidly as yet. The price may have something to do with the tardiness of producers in marketing the crop. The ladies of the M. *E. church will give an ice cream and melon social next Tuesday evening at Kover’s Hall. All are cordially invited to attend.

A square case of misplaced confidence was settled for two hundred dollars last week, after the fellow was in the clutches of Esq. Hatley's court A large portion of the sidewalks aonstructed this season will be of brick. They are as cheap as plank walks aud mnch superior in point of durability. There was a lively crowd of gypsies in town last week. They understood the art of fortune telling in all its de vious way*. Satisfaction guarrnteed or no pay. Students attending the normal are enthusiastic in their praise of the course aud the management of the toheel, yyhieh will result in marked benefit to the pubjijj schools of the •ounty. Some fellow represented Tub Democrat at the press banquet at Indianapolis, sad more rtceD,| y al tbe ® em ' ofr*tic State getjyention, by calling forjand receiving' the tickets issued for this oflice. A very quiet wedding took place at the M. K. parsonage last Sabbath, the fontracting parties if erf Mr. Jefferson eit'ur?" Mr. SJryson°is teVegra'pt'iic foperat*r at the G. R- & I, office at this place and Miss Rice the youngest slighter of W. P. Rice, of Decatur. Our p»epbs are on the alert prospecting for gravel. SavaraJ bpds have been discovered of late which have not been fully developed. Wc believe there is plenty of gravel for all purposes in this county and within a year more of it will be located. By next prsson we will build several gravel rsads Meanwhile we urge upon farmers to continue prospecting. It will be time and money wail apepff Whoever develops a good gravel bed will find a market for it. Jay Rugg purchased two of the Diehl bee hives sold by Mr. Hubbard, •f LaGrange last spring. His neighbors made light of his investment, lut Jay thinks he is willing they should continue to laugh at all such mistakes. Last Saturday he lifted 60 pounds of choice honey out of two of the hives which brought him twentyfive cent* per pound. He has alao commenced making cheese on a small scale which he is finding very profitable. He proposes to enlarge his operations in this dilection at an early day. Our farmers would find it would pay them to investigate the cheese question. There is money in it for all who take hold of it in a thorough going manner. In this respect our county is far behind the times.

On account of the absence of Rev. C. A. Ksnouse, there was no services at the Presbyterian church last Sabbath. Turtle soup is served occasionally to the customers of one of our saloons. Genuine turtle too, taken from the St. Marys, Those who have tried it pronounce it good when flavored with a glass of cool lager. The Kepubliean State Convention nominated their present state officers. On the question of prohibition they affirm it is not a partisian question, and while neither approving or disapproving prohibition, favor the submission of the question to the votes of the state at a special election. The K. of P. and I. O. O. F. bands were out Saturday night and gave a concert in the publio square. The audience expressed themselves highly pleased with the entertainment and gave both bands credit for considerable improvement since their last appearance. Our business men are many of them getting in their fall stoek of gods and making preparations for a big trade this fall. In their calculations they should not fail to advertise liberally what they can do tor their customers, aud what advantages they have to offer over their competitors. The Misses Barthel gave a select party, at their residence, on.last Sunday evening, iu honor of Miss Mary Neuenschwander, of Fort Wayue. About thirty-five guests assembled, and a pleasant time was spent. Choice refreshments were served and everything supplied which could afford amusement to the many pleasure seekers. The Board of Commissioners met in special session this week for the purpose of acting upon the proposals to build the Snyder free gravel road running west of Geneva. The bids were so much higher than the engineer's estimate that all were rejected and another notice for sealed proposals to build the road was advertised fur. Our remarks last week iu regard to a paragraph in the Journal, after talking with Rev. M. M. Gleason, does not apply to him. We are satisfied he was not to blame in the matter We hope and expect our personal relations with the Journal folks and its editor will be pleasant. If at an; time we are unjust or wrong in our criticism, we are ready to correot upon a proper presentation of the facts. Some of our citizens residing on Meroer street hear some of the most iudecent language on Saturday night from the foul mouths of tome drunken men ever listened to. It is disgraceful such indecencies that occur on the public highway where ladies and gentlemen are compelled to pass. Burglars attempted to enter the residence of Jno. Colchin Sunday night. The family were awakened by a noise at the window and on arising found a man trying to fotce an entrance. He had one of the blinds off and was trying to force the window, when he discovered that there were witnesses to his enterprise, which he seemingly did not approve, at all events he fled across the common with the fleetness of a stag. Sol Swank, who has the gift of continuance in low-down meanness, and whose amatory and vicious acts plaee him in the front rank among the total- 1 ly depraved, received a rebuke at the i hands of a woman whom he bad insult i ed with an improper proposal last week, that ought to make an impres- 1 sion that would last. The woman met his proposition by knocking him down a couple of times with a hoe, , when Sol said, “don t , for God s sake, I was only fooling,” and sneaked away We are only sorry that lack of spaec gQHipells \H to da injustice to the subject, especially as Sol has threatened to bang any and all who protest against his misdoings A little newspaper notoriety may make him do justice to his family as well as caution 43 19 pther pranks. Our people will bo called upon to decide, each for himself, on the fifteenth of this month, whether Decafur will a nnrnprfttion ilo business under tJfM UMBnfl provisions oT me laws of Indiana, nr wnethsf »bey will do business uuder » oily charter. There will, we think, be little difference in the c-09t as between the two methods. It will afford qs spiyp (plyanOg** !# A® w*y of enlarged powers and in more directly controlingcur own legislation and better facilities for enforcing tl*® P nances we may from time to time put in force- la short we will loose noth ing aud be in a situation to eujoy some privileges impossible under the old order of thing*.

Tue Adams county teycheiv' lusti- ] tute will begin September 4th and continue one week, closing with an examination of teachers Scptembi r 10th. Among the workers already engaged are John JJ liloss, State Supt., .1} Brown, »f Valparaiso, Prof. G. W. Dale, the elocutionist of Danville, Ind., Prof. William Myers, for many years Supt. of the schools of Ada, Ohio, Prof C. G. White «nd L. W. A Luck ey, of Dcoatar. There wilt Ik- other instructors added to the above list and everything will be done that can be done by the Supt. to have U-is tute surpass any previous one. Many who do not Intend to teach will do well to spend a week at the institute. All teachers should be present Monday morning. An allowance will be made in the grade of all teacher* who attend the full session.

Our notice of the extensive back door business of a certain saloon seems to be variously received. One saloon man. whose toes we had no intention of pinching, stopped his paper in consequence of the paragraph, indicating boat net measured by the thermometor. Another saloon keeper remarked that a certain saloon keeper had three hundred customers that day byway of the back door. The Democrat cannot vouch for the truthfulness of these statements, but they are reasonably accurate. For certain reasons we have refrained from mentioning names and the- same course seals our lips at the present time. We wish, however, to call the attention of the saloon keepers to a certain point. The Democuat believes there are men in Decatur who are trying to comply with the law under which they are conducting their business, for which we are always ready to give credit. Other men are not, but are openly and notoriously violating the law, by keeping their back doors open to the public on Sunday, These men are injuring the business of those who are trying to eonduct their business legitimately. It has been a custom among those engaged in selling toJiold up all engaged in the business. Would it not be better for you to denounce them for keeping open house, and for other discreditable violations of the law? The Democrat is of the opinion that it would not only be right but to your interest in more ways than one. All of which will become self-evident on reflectien. The suggestion is given for what it is worth. Christian Faith. Editor Democrat: In the Journal I see that “Observer” has expressed a desire that I should preach “A little more on faith." If he were a regular attendant upon our services, he would see no occasion for such a request; and if he had been present Sabbath morning, July 23, he probably would have understood the remarks in the evening on the subject of faith, in the light of the morning discourse. My position was, that in essentials, orthodox churches agree in faith; and their difference arises from different beliefs regarding the non-essentials to personal salvation. “Observer” now has the floor that he may give me the ear-marks of the faith of what he calls the “true church.’ I suggest, that he plainly define those marks that the world may know the “true church" and not make the fatal mistake of taking some other church for the “true church.”

I also suggest that he give the common name of the church for which he claims these marks as its exclusive right I will not enter into any controversy with any one who assumes a cognomen, such as “Observer.” He who writes should do so over his own name, if what he writes is personal or controversial. M. A. Teague. Base Ball. The Decatur played the Bijou’s, of Fort Wayne, Tuesday, with a score of tweuty-two to seven, in favor of the Decatur boys. Mr. Hutchinson of t e Golden Eagles umpired the game, performing his duties to he satisfaction j of the contestants and those who wi - nessed the game. Our boys, for the practice they have hai], played a ortid liable game. If they will get down to good practice and submit to discipline they will make a fair scrub nine, and make it interesting for any of the plubs they will he called upon to meet j It is understood they have several j match games under contemplation, j but at this writing the time, place and ; club they are to play with cannot be j qnpounced.

We demand the repeal of the order of the Board of Commissioners defining what animals may run at large made at the June term of Commissioner’s Court, 1882.
