Etting’s for gent's wear Quail hunters are plenty. Decatur has three railroads. Who heard the bugle call ? Candidates are not so plenty. Their machine was “smashed. ’ The holidays will soon be here. Holthouse’s for boots and shoes. A Thanksgiving ball is talked of. Decatur dosn’t lack for sensations. The Journal didn’t crow last week. Our hotels are doing a good business. Now is the time for buckwheat cakes. Bluffton would like to have a base ball club. Plenty of new hats are worn since the election. Our City Marshal is giving general satisfaction. The hickory outcrop did not pan out very extensive. Notice Jas. Stoue’s advertisement in this week's paper. The Paulding hunters returned home on Wednesday. Bluffton has gent a large delegation of hunters to Arkansas. The rubber goods business was good the forepart of this week. The Independents elected their sheriff in Allen county. It snowed Monday from the amount of poetry we have received. Allison's dwellings in the south part of town is nearing completion. Prepare for a big holiday trade by a udicious and liberal system of advertising. Johnny Miller has moved his barber shop in the Citizen’s Bank building, up stairs. Thursday the pay car on the Chicago & Atlantic railroad made its first appearance in Decatur. The United Brethern of Union township have a neat brick church nearly ready for dedication. John Bowers had a big trade in his hardware line last Saturday. Read what he has to say in another col umn. A lady asks The Democrat to ventilate some persons who have been prowling around her domicile at unseasonable hours, which would be gladly done if she could inform us who they were. Last Monday Dr. Freeman was called to Geneva to perform an operation on John Clendenning.aboy of thirteen. He was afflicted with necrosis of the leg. New bone had formed around the old. In the operation six inches of the old bone was removed. Last Friday a boarding and construction train arrived over the C. & A. road from Lima, containing a force sufficient to ballast the road as fast as two steam shovels can load it on the cars. It is expected they will ballast about two miles of road per day. Ed Daniels, of Meadville, Pa., had both arms and legs crushed on the Nickel Plate, at Fort Wayne, Monday. He had been employed for two years in the construction of the L. M. &D. railroad and was on his way home with considerable money. He indulged in too much whiskey, lay down upon the track, The result is given above. There was an alarm of fire at the M. E. Church Monday evening. Those who were passing noticed a dense smoke creeping out of the east gable and thought the church on fire. On examination it was fonnd the chimneys had not been plastered a portion of the way up on the inside. The consequence was the smoke escaped into the gable which caused the alarm. The deficency will be made good in a few days. At the time the Chicago & Atlantic railroad was located through Decatur, some thirty of our liberal minded citizens joined in a guarantee bond to the Company for the right of way through this county, expecting at the time they would eventually be released by subacriptions afterward obtained. These subscriptions were not secured. The road is built and the guarantors are liable on their bond. To assist them in this matter, a petition is being circulated asking the city of Decatur to assume the expense of the right of way through this corporation, which is being numerously signed and will, as it ought, undoubtedly receive a large majority of the signatures of the tax-pay-«rs of this city.

r. “High colors’’ seem to prevail i the - . make up of a ladies toile's this season. I'he commissions for the count v > !'- dicers elect were received on Wedncsi ‘JayOur cold snap of the front part of the week has been succeeded by milder weather. Dogs, guns and shooting are prominent topics just now. There is more talk than sporting however. - There will be several striking features in the. Literary Entertainment to be given at the Methodist Church on Thanksgiving. The woods cf Michigan must be filled with hunters, judging from the | number that pass over the G, R. & I. R. R. going north. J. W. Place left samples of bread at this office, the best we ever saw come from a Decatur bakery, which is saying a great deal. The Fort Wayne base ball club have reorganized for 'B3, and signed contracts with their players. Their salaries average SIOO per month. The gap on the C. & A. road between this place and Huntington has not been closed. There is yet about five miles of steele to put down. There is a terrible rush upon our boarding houses at the present time. They are entirely inadequate to meet the demands made upon them. Farmers see A. McCann before you sell your hogs, as he will pay the highest market price. He ships every week and shipped five ear loads this week. Woods & Winnes sold their interest I in their saw mill at Monroe to Bowen ; & Orth, last week. They are now for < the present, down and out of the saw- < mill business. 1 A couple of young men were arrested * by the Marshal and brought before the * Mayor last Saturday, for peddling 1 without license. They took out license * 4 and were released. i The necessity of gravelling or boul- < dering the streets to the C. A A. and ] T. C. & St. L. railroad depots is now very apparent. During wet weather ( they will be almost impassible. J W. P. McMahon, of the Bluffton ’ Daily Herald has stepped down and 1 out. He has rented his office to F. ' W. Wilhelm and H. L. Troutman, who 1 will continue to herald that paper. 1 The third quarterly meeting of this conference year will be held at Deca- ( tur charge, commencing Saturday , evening. Presiding Elder Y. B. Mer- ( edeth will be present and preach Sunday. j The Board of Commissioners met in f special session Wednesday and ap- ( proved the bonds of the Sheriff, Sur- j veyor and Coroner. As soon as their ; commissions arrive they will be sworn ( into office. ( The gravel trains have not yet com- , menced running between Decatur and , Geneva. There was some defect in ■ laying off the switch. Gravel will commence arriving about the first of 1 the week. 1 John King jr., and J. F. Galbreath killed a wild turkey Thursday. It i was seived up at the Bon Ton restau- < rant the same evening. Several in- ] vited guests surrounded the board on I that occasion. I The west end grocery house enjoyed 1 a brief corner on celery this week. The ’ only explanation is they sold it cheap. ‘ And selling cheap has a tendency to 1 create a lively market and move goods 1 quick and fast. 1 The mysteries of the free ballot and fair count system, in this congressional district, will probably be contested in the interest of Hon. Joseph S. Dai- • ley. It will do no harm to unearth 1 some of Mr. Steele’s work, though it 1 should not return Mr. Dailey. There will be reduction tickets sold | on the railroad from 1 ecatur to Geneva, December 2nd. Attraction, Joint [ Township Institute. Now is the time for all teachers to visit the towu of Geneva. An invitation has been extended to all who are interested in education to attend the Institute. A hunter named Thompson who was following a wounded deer near Puck- i erbush, Allen county, came across a i citizen named Parker, dressed in gray , clothes, who was engaged in cutting hoop poles and mistook him for the deer. He fired with fatal precision, ( shooting Parker through the neck, killing him instantly. The hunter is almost crazy over the affair. C. C. Wingate, sheriff-elect of Jay, and J. T Hartzell, sheriff of Jay; , John Saxon, ex sheriff, now deputy sheriff of Blackford county, and James Dailey, deputy sheriff of Wells, were , in this city Wednesday, for the pur- , pose of canvassing the vote for State j Senator and Representative, for the various districts to which these counB ties are attached. o Dr. Heller, of Enterprise, Ohio, had . a narrow escape from being run over i by the cars on the T. L> & St. R. R , - at Willshire, last Sunday. He attempt- - cd to get on the caboose of a passing y freight, missed his footing and fell be - tween the platform. He was dragged t about sixty feet, and severely bruised, i- but escaped without any broken bones. His presence of mind saved him from being ciushed between the wheels.

“BETSEY AND I AUE OCT.” An Episode In Reni Life Without lloiuanci Last spring the firm of Myer Broth ers employed as foreman of their sac tory T. 11. Hirst. Everything moved along pleasantly for some time. They were pleased with him as a workman and he seemed to bo pleased with his situation. He had a wife and two children who lived in another state. It was very natural that he should send for them, that the family might be united once more. He wrote a letter, procured a remittance, but before sending it made a briney and tearful avowal that he loved another woman better than his own wife. After which he cried and played the baby act to his hearts content. The letter was dispatched and in reply the family arrived. The wife was informed of the husband’s change of affection toward her and the first evening was spent in discussing a divorce, but no conclusion reached. Meanwhile his affection for his wife had returned, but did not come to stay. It playe d shuttle-cock between the two women. Where his love was depended with which charmer he was for the time being. He could not keep his love or bestow it where it would stay. Hirst is a natural born compromiser. Through his diplomacy several meetings were brought about between the two women and himself. A t one he would be the girl’s lover and talk about a divorce and a wedding. At another he would discard the girl and claim loyalty to his wife. This playing of fast and loose continued for some time and ended in several separations. The last separation he gave his wife the furniture and entered into a contract to give her thirty dollars a month. Last Saturday a sad faced woman and two little girls might have been seen at the open space in front of Brake's saloon, Second street, disposing of her furniture at public auction, preparatory to her departure to her childhood's home. Her manner attracted the attention of the bystanders and their sympathy as her story passed from lip to lip. That evening an informal gathering of our citizens attempted to wait upon him, but he was not to be found. It was proposed to furnish him with a new suit and a free ride on a rail. It was fortunate on both sides that an interview between the parties did not take place, as two wrongs do not make one right. Monday Mrs. Hirst and the children left on the G. R. & I. for her home. Some strange attraction brought the husband to the depot. The wife and children were frightened and tearful of violence which the husband seemed to enjoy. The tables were turned when about twenty hunters from the neighborhood of Warren put in an appearance. The brave husband thought it was a party of lynchers, and claimed the protection of the Marshal, which was accorded, and while Hirst was walked down town the family sped away on the train. Hirst has been discharged from his position as foreman in Myer Bro's, factory. He is a man weak and vacillating rather than bad and vile. He is a victim of intemperance and indulged in morphine and hydrate of chloral until he has no mind or will of his own. In this brief statement we have given the plain facts as they came to us without a particle of shading. Presented in the light and shade of a mental picture it would present a remarkable chapter of realism in human life without a particle of romance. A Fowl Act. Some one did a mean job at the Journal office last week. They cut all the roosters out of Ed's, democratic exchanges and posted them on the walls. The energy with which Ed. proceeded to bring them down, it it had been concentrated on Joseph Helm previous to the election, would certain ly have produced different results from those shown by the official returns. It was a fowl job. Unclaimed Letters List of unclaimed letters remaining in the Decatur post office, Adams coun ty, Indiana, for the week ending November 13, 1882. Winfield Allen, J. C.

As usual the entire county Democratic ticket was elected. In two instances by reduced majorities. This is due to a few Democrts who devoted their time and energies to d<-feat one or two Democrats on the county ticket and had their labor for their pains. Had the same energy been put forth to defeat George W. Steele, Jos. S. Dailey would, in all probability, have been elected. In the fight some Democratic votes were dishonestly taken from Dailey by the use of “soap.'’ The dissensions in the Democratic ranks kept others aa ay from the poll*. Had this mis-spent energy been directed against the Republican party those who were disgusted and remained away from the polls might have been induced to coms out, and the result would have been different. At all events there were enough Democrats in Adams county who did not vote on I the 7th of November to have turned the tide and elected Joseph S. Dailey. We do not wish to be understood as charging that those Democrats who worked and voted against McGriff, were opposed to Mr. Dailey. Not at all. It had this effect, that those Demccrat who wished to elect McGriff and Dailey both, had hard work to prevent a revolt against Mr. Dailey. This distracted their attention from the common enemy and the result is a great falling off of the Democratic vote in this county, and the defeat of Mr. Dailey. Dear as the lesson is, it is to be hoped Democrats will profit by it. Gravel Roads. Our people now begin to feel the need of gravel roads. There is no of wading the miles ou miles of mud to get to market. There is a remedy for it in gravel and MeAdamized roads, and they should be built without delay. If they would cost twice as much as it would require to build them they ought to be built. Onr wide-awake enterprising men should work up the question and never cease agitating it until our county is gridiroued with good substantial roads. School Report.
