The Fort Wayne Conservatory of Music opens September 4th. The County Board of Education meets Friday, September Ist. Now is the time to commence plant ing your fall advertisements. * John Miller is the father of a girl baby. He says she is a “daisy.’’ The K. of P. Cornet Band will return from Petoske y, Michigan, to day. Las- week closed up the first year of the present management of The Democrat. Yesterday the corner stoae of the naw Evangelical Church at East Salem was laid. Joseph Thomas had his hand badly injured by a threshing machine near Craigville, Tuesday. The members of the Evangelical Church of this place are engaged in repairing their church. The normal school has an attend anee of eighty now, more than has attended for some time. Vacation is about over, and our future men and women are getting ready for their winter's work at school. The Adams county Institute commences September 4th. Teachers should make it a point to attend. Notice of the election of city officers appears elswhlre. The election will take place one week from next Tuesday Candidates foe the different city offices are as plenty as blackberries in blackberry time, when there is a full crop. It is a good thing to have plenty of candidates. There is nothing like having an opportunity to make a choice. There was a full delegation in from the surrounding country Saturday, which made it lively for our business men. The members of the Lutheran congregation are also having their church repaired by making the belfry higher, and otherwise improving it. The men who are running fruit stands say they have customers who are very difficult to please. And who eat more in sampling than they purchase. The swamp in Grim’s prairie, through which the C & A railroad passes, has been spanned by a trussing two thousand three hundred feet in length. As a matter precedent to the election of city officers, the Trustees of the town of Decatur divided the town into wards. Monroe and Adams streets being the dividing lines. Some of our people are complaining of the filthy condition of the alleys. Some of our business men are in the habit of dumping garbage and offal in the alleys which should not be permitted.

The Fort Wayne club beat tbe Golden Eagles of Fort Wayne, at Columbia City, Friday last, by a score of four to thirteen, taking the SIOO. prize offered by the Whitley county agricultural society. The Chicago & Atlantic people are putting in a temporary bridge across the St. Marys river at this place, the object being to save freight by shipping rails and iron bridges over their own track, which they claim will more than pay them for the temporary bridge. The Chicago says: One hundred miles of the Chicago & Atlantic railroad has been completed between this city and Marion, 0. All the grading will be finished in thirty days. Bridges, culverts and depots are well advanced, and a freight ware house is being erected at Fourteenth street, and transfer yardi made ready at Fortieth street. A three year old boy of William McConnehey was taking his first lesson, in gymnastics last week, and turned a summersault, pitching head first mto au oil barrel two-thirds full of water. The child had the presence of mind to turn under the water and come up right side up, but could not get out of the barrel. One of the older children informed the mother, who was at a near neighbors, who came and lifted the little one out, who exclaimed “0, ma I’m so wet." Considering the age, it was a remarkable escape from drowning, showing rare presence of mind and cool judgement in one so young.

Nice rain on Wednesday morning. The blackberry season is about over. Jeff Bryson, operator at the Grand Rapids depot, received and sent over threft hundred messages the night of the wreck. The Salamonie River Baptist Association held a three days session at Buena Vista, this county, commencing Friday last. The small pox business has about run its course. There are no cases that we are aware of in any of our neighboring towns or cities. A methodical farmer says he gets more work out of the _average hired man since his farm was fenced with barbed wire. There is now no top rail for the h. m. to sit upon. Harry Hart, who fell from the cliffs last summer near Leadville, Colorado, has recovered, though crippled, and is again at work. Ho expects to. return home this fall. Dr. Ph. D. Paul, the successful German Eye Specialist will make his 15th visit at Decatur, and be at the Burt House, Saturday, September 2nd. Providence permitting. Examination free. Some of our town officers think it hard to be voted out of office. The boys have the sympathy of The Democrat. If they have the necessary staying qualities they can get voted in again. The peach region, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia will have the largest crop of peaches ever known. Freight trains will be run to Chicago, making expres» time, to help furnish a market sot this delicious fruit. In the grain circulars issued by produce dealers, they hold out the idea that with the immense wheat crop in this country present prices of wheat will be maintained, and that no serious advance can in any event be maintained. Horace Porter has opened a new harness shop, temporarily in the old Flag building, where he will keep on hand and make to order everything m his line. Superior workmanship and prices as low as first class goods can be afforded, is his motto. The members of the Christian Church are having their church repaired, by putting in a baptistery un-’ der the pulpit, dressing room on either side, papering the wall, putting in new windows, and fixing the belfry. This will greatly add to its appearance Every body look but for the excursion to Rome City, September 7th, to the third Annual Regatta Sylvan Lake Association—Boat races, Tub races and Swimming races. This will be one of the most enjoyable excursions of the season. The K. of P. Cornet band of this place will furnish good music, so be ready and drop your work on that day and join the excursion. Noah Baxter, an old resident of this county, died at the residence of his son Reuben, at Monmouth on Friday last, aged sixty-five years and eight months. He had been afflicted with dropsy for some time past. His re mains were buried at the Pillars’ grave yard, Alpha M. E. Church, near Monmouth. The ladies who procured promises to have the cemetry cleaned up, desire those who have friends buried there to see to straightening up tomb stones and trimming shrubbery. After the ladies have so kindly taken it in hands people who have relatives and friends buried there, should look after their own lots.

Fort Wayne is wild over base ball, but not more so than many other places around us. They can boast of two of the best clubs in the state, the Golden Eagles lately organized and the Fort Wayne club. There is rivalry enough between the clubs to make hot work when they play together. And if we get notice in time it is our our intention to witness the racket. Taylor Wilson, solicitor of subscriptions and collector for the Fort Wayne Gazette, called at this office Saturday He added thirty-five names to the Gazette list while here, and has increased the subscription to the daily Gazette 2,196 since t he first of J anuary through his own personal solicitation. The Gazette is fortunate in having such a worker in giving their circulation a boom. It is time the ordinance requiring the cutting of noxious weeds is enforced. Several different kinds are rapidly maturing and if not destroyed now. it will be impossible in a few weeks to pass along some lots without getting covered with burs. There is one lot, in mind as we write, in particular that needs attention and there are many others that the same remarks in a modified form would apply. Jacob Schrol, took unto himself for better or worse, Nancy Evans, of Van Wert county. Esqr. Bailey performed the ceremony, and it is said, saluted the bride with extreme unction, all of which is accounted for by her ravishing beauty, a dark brunett that would lay some octoroons in the shade by several degrees. It is not quite a January and May affair, but nearly so. Schrol’s ducats were doubtless a part of the consideration on the pait of Miss Nancy.

The Cincinuati Enquirer has Jo. Creatner, of Decatur, seven times married. Jo has been married three times that we know of. He was seen fast to a Monroe township widow’s apron string this week, which looks very suspicious that Jo was willing to try his luck again, and further deponent saith not. A big burly son of Erin applied to Clerk Blackburn for a permit to marry Mrs. Riley, one day last week, whose hnsband was sent to the penitentiary last tefm of court. He refused because Mrs. Riley had not been legally divorced from her leige lord. It is understood the twain went to Michigan where a license is not required and were married. If this be true they may come grief for disregarding the law. Last Friday night, about twelve o’clock, a couple of fellows came promenading north on the southern extension of Third street, as if they had started to go somewhere and a large amount of money was pending as to who should get there first. Finally, it seems the fellow in the rear pressed the fellow in front too close, when the foremost fellow turned and yelled, “don’t come any closer or I'll shoot.” The order was not heeded, when the front man, as good as his word, pulled his little pop and fired twice. The only result appears to be that the race was off. Who the parties were, what they were racing for, and what the motive in firing was, is simply a matter of conjecture, which analytically examined would lead to a host of unanswerable conundrums. Personals. John France was at Willshire, on Monday. Miss Ella Schirmeyer spent Sunday in Van Wert. D. C. Townsend Sundayed at Petoskey, Michigan. Lewis Moses will leave shortly for Anderson, Indiana.

George Arnold, editor of the Bluffton Chronicle, with other Republicans attended the convention Tuesday. Mr Arnold called at The Democrat office. Mr. and Mrs. 11. B. Allison started on Tuesday night for a two weeks visit at Washington Court House, and Jamestown, Ohio. Tour of Inspection. S. B. Smith, President, J. C. Smith, principal contractor, J. C. Williams, chief engineer, T. L. Moore, division engineer of the Chicago & Atlantic Railway, accompanied by Mr. DuPuy, consulting engineer of the Eirie, Gen. Robertson. M. C., of Kenton, Col. Pride, of New York and others made a thorough inspection of the grade, track, etc. from Lima to Decatur and will continue until Chicago is reached. The gentlemen expressed themselves as very well satisfied and that the road bed and track will compare favorably with any road. The track has been laid to ithe state line and about twelve miles through Van Wert county. It will be laid through Decatur by the first of October. The party of gentlemen left on the evening train for Huntington, lad. The contract for ballasting the road has been taken and the gravel pit will at once be worked by a steam shovel, hence the road will be ballasted at once.

Base Ball, Tuesday the Decatur club played the Clippers of Portland. The Portland club had strengthed their club by the addition of two men from Muncie, and came here backed by a oonsiderablo number of Portland men, who were ready to back the visiting club with a liberal amount of greenbacks. Our men wore posted in regard to the condition of affairs, but did not object to the substitution of men from another club, because they were playing for the love of the national game and not for money. With what was regarded as heavy odds against the home nine, some of of our men inclined to place money on uncertain contingencies, did back our men to a considerable extent, and with satisfactory results. The score was fourteen to eighteen in favor of the Decaturs. The score by innings, Decaturs, Ist, whitewash; 2nd, one; 3rd, whitewash; 4th, four; sth, whitewash; 6th, one; 7th, four; Sth, whitewash; 9th, eight. The Clippers: Ist, two; 2nd, whitewash; 3rd, one; 4th, four; sth, whitewash; 6th, two; 7th, whitewash; Bth, four; 9th, one; The score of individuals as follows Decaturs : France, p., four; Dent, Ist b., one; Eason, t. b. (pitched after second inning) one; Patterson, s. b., nothing; 11. Shirey, s. s., two; Miller, r. f., three; Linn, c. f., one; B. Shirey, 1. f., four; Hart, c., two Clippers: Carpenter, c., two; Gillum, s. s., three; Reed. c. f., nothing; Sherman, f. b., one; Rauen, p., two; Wil. hams, r. f., one; Miranda, 1. f., one; Tracy, s. b., one; King, t. b., three. The objectionable features of base ball is the disposition to wager money on the game. The Democrat observes a growing disposition in this direction. It is wrong. It is the bane of true sport, and has a tendency to eliminate from the game a correct result upon the merits of the game. The effect is to demoralize the players, and make the game subservient to knowing sporting men, who bet to win, and to accomplish this give players on one side or the other money to win or loose according to their interest. Not that anything of the kind has been done as to games played at Decatur, but this is the tendency. notes : Third base does not count. King, of the Clippers is a heavy batter. Both clubs were credited with “muffs,” overthrows and other bad errors. France is the heavy batter of the Decatur’s, and has the best score, one out and three runs. The ninth inning was a terror to the visitors. Rattled with two bad “muffs” in the start, they batted Rauen’s balls all over the field and won the game. A “dead sure thing” does not always win. Jno. Canfield umpired the game and has credit for impartial rulings. Eason's pitching for the home nine was splendid. The Organ Factory nine beat the Decaturs yesterday by a score of sixteen to twenty-one. Our boys were in bad condition. Next Tuesday and Wednesday the Decaturs play the Silver Eagles, of Fort Wayne. Come out everybody and see a good game of base ball. The Decatur Base Ball Club wish to return thanks to the citizens of Decatur and vicinity for their liberal patronage yesterday and further, that the club will be reorganized before another game is played. B. 11. Dent, Manager. State-line Gravel Road. Several weeks since The Democrat mentioned the finding of a gravel bed in Union township. Since, there has been further prospecting. The result of the investigation gives assurance that there is more than enough gravel to build a gravel road from the stateline to Decatur. The Union and St. Marys township people interested in the project, have been discussing the question and are alive to its importance. They feel that they should have better communication with Decatur. The people along the state-line living in Van Wert county are also interested in the moyement, and if our people build the road to the limits of this county will, it is thought, without doubt extend it further, thus opening out to Decatur an opportunity to divert a considerable section of the trade of Van Wert county, whose business now goes to Van Wert, to come to Decatur. Such a road would have this effect, and if the proper efforts are made can and should be built at once. The people along the line are ready to go to work. The town of Decatur is as deeply interested as the people along the line. Their interests are identical.

In conversation with some of those living along the line, and who have interested themselves in the matter, they informed The Democrat that if the citizens of Decatur would provide for the preliminary expenses of a survey and estimates, there was no question but that the people along the route would take hold of the matter and build the road at once. The Democrat suggests au informal meeting of the citizens of Decatur to take such action as they deem proper under the circumstances. A committee of conference, authorized to speak authoritatively for Decatur, would probably put the matter in motion and result in building the road. It is a question of vast importance to our people. It may be the starting point of a system of gravel roads, of which Decatur will be the center, that will be of immeasurable benefit to not only Decatur, but the surrounding country. O«r people cannot afford to ne gleet any opportunities for benefiting our communication with the surrounding country.

Kansas Letter. London, Neosho Crunty, Kansas, August, 1882. Editor Democrat :—A glance at the map will show you I am located in Southern Kansas. Times are good. Crops never better. Wheat ten to forty bushels per acre; oats the same. The corn crop bids fair to be the best for ten years and is nearly matured. Wo have had splendid weather this summer, splendid showers of rain at the right time, with no hard storms or beating rains. Fruit in abundance and vegetables “till you can’t rest.” Watermellons as large as a basket. This is a splendid country and very healthy. If any of your readers come out to Kansas, let them come to Parsons and inquire for me and I will show them one of the nicest countries in the west. Would like to return and see all my old friends but can't. Samuel Winans. Wreck on the G. R & I. Last Thursnay as No. 12 was going south, ten cars and the engine were ditched just beyond Monmouth where a gang of track-layers were taking up the old iron rail and replacing it with steel. The engineer failed to notice the flag, and when warned by the waiving hats and shouts of the working party it was too late to prevent the ditching of the train. There was n» person hurt. It looks as if some one was to blame, and as the railroad company is the only one particularly interested they will fix the blame where it properly belongs. This is the only wreck of any importance we can remember since the the toad has been in operation. The company have been unusually strict with 1 their employes and careful in their management. Some one will get “bounced” for his carelessness. —j Announcements. We arc authorize dto announce the name of I. C.
