Pota oes are now within reach of the average editor. The enterprising impecunious One can dig for himself, if not his own, his neighbors, only when it is a “wood chuck case,” however. A number of o'ur young people have revised croquet thia sum®er,;and are taking deep interest in the game. Thos. Mickle has a fine ground upon whieh the lovers of the game nightly assemble. There was some fear about a week ago that there were not enough votes in the second ward to furnish a sufficent number of candidates to go around. There is not quite so much of a craze as thare was. ft would be a great saving of time and wear and tear generally, to roll up the bed covering and deposit it at the foot of the bed. It is a great trouble these nights to get it kicked into just the right position, if this is neglected on retiring. The old M. E. church, purchased by tlitTijhristian Church ami lately repaired will be dedicated next Sabbath to thfc Worship of God, according to the new order of things. We understand there will be no services at the other protestaut churches in consequence thereof. Decatur papers are getting quite saucy on the base ball question, and say we are afraid to meettbeir elub on the diamond field. We warn Decatjir tliat they may expect to be'taken up on our kce and spanked to the same tune the Warren boys were. —Bluffton Chromite. ' Some of our good Christian people, if their assertions be true, are aching for the revised statutes instead of the revised testament as a means of reforming the immoral and vicious. The gojiel is dead, no longer a factor in the promotion of morals or religion. No wonder the devil's leaven is as lively as ever. Isaac Rhodes dropped his pocketbook in a crowd where a street fakir wai selling his wares. The eloqueice of the aforesaid was sb inspiring that no one noticed it. An hour or two afterwards he found it all right save the tramping the crowd had given it. It contained thirtythree dollars andsome valuable papers. Week before last the Journal complained of The Democi...- .> ladies of the W. C. T. U. “liars,” and complained untruthfully too. Last week he complained because we did not call them ‘ liars," because we did call them “untruthful.” Verily, it is hard to please the Journal. This kind of argument is in keeping with the “high and nolle purposes' proacssed by tbe JmirnyZ. Tuesday in company with Col. Moore, division engineerof the Chicago and Atlantic railroad, we went over a portion of thp tack of (lie .road east of this place. The grade of the road bed is superior to that of any new road now building in this country. The steel rails have been laid to within a few Luui r ueu. ! ‘^ ; ho"Lis'the contract tor building the switch to die gravel pit arrived on the ground yesterday and will open the pit and proceed to ballast the road as fast as the track is laid. The festival at the Market Street Methodist Church closed last evening and was financially a success. The quilt which had been contested for both evenings was awarded to Mrs Hagenbuck, as the most popular married lady. The votes at closing stood: Mrs. Hagenbuck, 201; Mrs. Hiinmelberger, 148; Mrs. Hawkins, 49; Mrs. Fairman, 2; Mrs. Ratshausen, 15. The amount of money realized from the sale of the quilt was $109.95. The piece of carpet for the most popular widow lady was taken in by Mrs. Mary Black. Miss Maggie Metts was voted the most popular young lady and received the ring. John Ralshauseu received the complimentary send off as the laziest young nuu and received a caning. The festival passed off pleasantly, and was voted a complete success by those who were there.—Logansport Daily Journal. A preliminary meeting in the interest of the State line gravel road was called, in accordance with the suggestion of The Democrat of last week, and met at the Court House, Wednesday night, the proceedings of which appear elsewhere. The preliminary steps were taken that, we predict, will result in building the road. Our county can only issue a limited amount of bonds. If this road is not built uow, others will be built in the near future, which will consume the limited amount of bonds that can be issued. Those who wish to do anything should move promptly or they may be too late. The road is a necessity, can be built and should be put under way without delay. Notice. The City school rc opens Monday, September 12th. All pupils, on the first day of school will take the rooms to Which they were assigned on the last day of the spring term, when they will be re aranged in the different rooms. The teachers will meet the bupt. at the school building,Saturday at 4p. m.

FATAL ACCIDENT. JniHM VVUh«>ii JtMUCr ball Erwin n tier A sad accident occurred in Blue Creek township, Tuesday afternoon, which resulted iu the death of a promsing lad, James Wilson Danner, son of W. J. Danner, of that township. The young man had been mowing in the afternoon in a field bn the farm and came to the house about the middle of the afternoon for which was the last seen of hint alive. At five o’clock the father who had been plowing came to the house for supper. As the young man did not come home for supper he supposed he left his mowing to plow daiine his father’s absence as he had occasionally done. He found the team as he had left it and then commenced searching for the absent boy, who .wasfound dead under a wild chbrry ifbc’whfcli grew by the side of the field where he had been mowing. His hat was found lodged in the tree. From appearances it is supposed the boy bad climbed the tree a distance’of thirty feet and had fallen. There was no obstruction for about fifteen feet, at which point there were limbs which he struck in his fall, bruising hjs facc, neck and body and injuring him fatally. When found he was dead, and it is supposed that he never regained conciousness after the fall. The funeral was preached by Rev. M. M. Gleason, of this place, on Wednesday, to a large audience of friends and neighbors. The father was terribly broken np at the loss of his idolized boy, the stroke being doubly se-. 'vere til him, to think he could not say a parting word, though ever so sad a good bye it might be. Prohibition Resolutions. The Young Peoples’ Temperance Society have bad before them for several week a set of prohibition resolutions, for adoption or rejection, as, i tie ease may be, which they propose to discuss Friday night at the Evangelical Church and then take final action upon. The resolutions read as follows: Rewlved'. That we, as advocates of true temperance, are in duty bound to oppose by all honest and lawful means, all persons and organizations that may bt opposed to piohibiliyttf of ifio manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors, in their efforts ,to antagonize such prohibition. And we shall treat the resolutions adopted by such persons or organizations, either in person or by as a true exposition of their position on the subject of prohibition, *• Resolced: That. it ance to do so, we shall advocate the submission to the people of this state, of the proposed amendments of the constitution, and that such submission be made at a special election, to the end, that the true will of the people’ will be ascertained as to the same. Webster defines temperance as, “Habitual moderation in regard to the indulgence of the appetites and passions; as, hu iqdglgoftm: of joy or mirth.” With this definition in mind, as applied to these resolutions, can those who approve them be “true temperanee men and women Hardly, we think, without revising Webster. Intemperate temperance men would be the correct appcllaUpn, True temberance men annlieJ to prohibitionists is a misnomer. Personals. Col. Moore Sundayed at Lima.

she R.P. The game last Thursday between tin: Organ Factory club, of Fort Wayne ' apd the Decaturs was the fust defeat for the season of the Dacatur club. In justjeq ty tjiCj bqwifver, site of them were unlit to play i«om v|reou9 reasons, and to those who were fanilittr with the condition of the boys before the game was called, the defeat wfe t!W Adqjph Hart,, catcher forth a Ducatur*,’lias had bis hand bndly stoved up in catching, and the probability now is 'that he will not be in good conditio* to catch again this Should this be hi# be bard to iill. . ,< ' The Portland papers poke a little fun at the “Clippers” tor theix. defeat at Decatur. Their sarcasm is unmerittul. The boys'jidaybil aj. yrd game, but had bad luck, which, eomts to all or later, while the Decaturs luck came to them iu the last inning, whieh the game by a scratch. The game betweeh the Decatur's and tHlvfe Hagiefi, oY tort Wayne, rcsnked in the defeat of the latter by a i score of twenty to thirty-four. The first half of the game was well played by both nines, the score being very low, with the Deoaturs in the lead. The last half the batters were more Successful in making hard hits, which with some loose fielding, muffs and overthrows run the score up. NOTES. Linn in center field made the catch •of the day, after a long run taking it with' his right. A . Frank France made a play in left out field, taking a fly and throwing to first base without assist putting o*t his man, making a* double play. Webb, of the Fort Wayne, club, umpired the game, and gave good satisfaction. Their next game will be next Tuesday with the Van Wert club, after which they will play at Bluffton, if arrangements can be made for a game. The game between the recently or■ganizid Decatur (Deys and tltc!Silten Eagle’s, of Tort Wayfie, resulted in a score of thirteen to nineteen in favor ! of the Silver Eagles. It was a creditable game for ftrffys considering it 'was thdfr first game! They were ouU generaid by Withers in pitching, who saved his team from probable defeat by tempting the heavy batters of the Greys with balls between the batter and the home base, whieh they were tw tu ICIUBtJ. The game between the fat and leaat ineftl on Monday resulted in a score of Seventeen to twenty-five in favor of the obese men. The game was one of the . ni9>,t enjoyable ones of the season, and has resulted in another challenge from the skeletons, who do not propose to remain vanquished if it takes all summer to redeem themselves. However Portland folks think about Decatur boys playing base ball, they are all unanimous in the opinion, that W. 11. Meyfers knows how to lay brick. His job on the .bfgjhotel is about * completed, and well done at that. The parties working al the other house have iust made a fair start Moyo" knows how to make a wall out of brick. The Decatur juniors were beaten by the Bluffton juniors last Saturday, by a score of 26 to 29. The rain made it very difficult to play, and was trie cause of the large score. Fred France umpired the game and did it to the satisfaction of both sides. It was a fair square beat. The game here could hardly be considered a game in consequence of the incompetence of the umpire. We understand some of obt bbys came home partly intoxicated. If this be true they had bet-, ter stop "playing Ifasc ’l|iß until ll'djy can do so without indulging in strong drink. Gravel Road Letting. The Board of Commissioners met in special session Monday, for the purpose of examining Vids, and awarding contract for building the Bears’ gravel road, from Geneva west to the county line, The work was divided into six sections and the bids for the same as follows: A. Ford, $11,785; E. Woods, $11,940: Daniel Railing, *ll,*" l6o;‘ Levi Snyder, 10,595. There was some dissatisfaction in consequence of S thfsund<Standing in regard to whether the bids included the price of gravel or not, upon the part of Levi BnyJ der, who in listed at first that Ws bid did not iSelude gravel, but finally consented that it should be so considered, when the fontr.iet.wasawarded to him. when he etilerej into . bund. for the completion of the same. The Board titered Into ‘contract with ktyrjiiaß Burgholter to furnish tlie gravel st the rate of one hundred i i Mfia twenty dollars per mile, estimating twee tysiour hundred cubic yards per mile, or at the rate of five cents peY yard for the gravel. , •- — 1 • A Challenge. itc nerdby challenge the Fat Men to playa g®nc of base ball next M;u4»y afternogn.
