THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT ___-___ BY A. J. HILL. Friday, Apbim, 6, 1883. On and after October, 1, 1883, you •an send a letter with a twn cent I poetage stamp. TJUS Fish Commission intend to increase the numbers of food fishes until they become so plentiful that the only lie a fisherman will be able to tell will be to say he did not catch any. It is now pretty generally settled that Lieut. Gov Hanna is the man responsible for the fact that the-e was no provision made for the payment of the current expenses of the state of Indiana, by his pocketing the appro priation bill. President Arthur is said to be superstitious. The way and manner he became elevated to the Presidency was not soothing. The sudden death at the White house, at a reception, was another jog in the direction of the revival and maintainance of unpleasant memories. The gossip of the papers is that he is melancholy and afflicted with Bright s disease, and has not long to live. At best he has an exalted but unpleasant position. The provision made for new hospital’for,the Insane by the recent Legislature is worth all the session cost the state. The insane are a class of , people that peculiarly appeal to our sympathy. They cannot be treated I properly at their homes, in many eases, no matter what the mean s and eireumstanees in life of friends. The present accommodation could hardly ear* for half of the cases in the state. It is foolish and idle talk to say the | legislature did not amount to any thing. PLEAMAST WILL:* ITEMS*BY “NORMS HOMO. Rain is very much needed in thia lo- ; eality. Smart housewives are bragging of their young chickens. Will Laughrey is the champion mouse killer. He had fifteen mice in one barrel and not a single cne made its escape. Mr. Ed. Miller, of Hoagland, was visiting with one of the fair sex of our place over Sabbath. Come often Ed and get acquamed. J. B. F. Noll is now a reaident of Pleasant Mills. Jont Barnett, the huxter of our place is reported doing a good business. Success Jonty. Deacon McLeod and wife returned on last Saturday evening from an extended visit of a number of months through several of the Western states, looking well and hearty. ‘ Our Jack" and one of our gentlemanly store keepershad a little racket one evening of last week. Thomas Ritter is dangerously ill at this writing. Consumption seems to be the ailment. G. W. Archbold has added a-'*condi-tion” to his store room, which greatly improves the looks of it. Dr. Lipse, became sick and returned to his home northwest of Fort Wayne, last Friday. Miss Belle Gilpin returned home from a visit to Portland, on last Friday evening. There was a taffy pulling in the cityone evening last week, but it resulted in ‘‘shoo gar.” There were two little girls kissed a man a few evenings since for a penny each. We wonder who they were ? J. Schlegel, the blacksmith, goes from this place the coming week to Osgood, Ohio. Mrs. Rosa Merriss who has been on the sick list for the past five months is no better. Joe Foster, of Van Wert, Ohio, was , in town Saturday, just as gassy and loud as ever. Rev. D. B. Reckard reports his meetings at Pleasant View, a success. Thirty-two seekers with several acces•ions to the church. J ELEGANCE AND PURITY. Ladies who appreciate elegance and purity are using Parker’s Hair Balsam. It is the best article sold for restoring gray hair to its oringinal color, beauty and lustre. Married, Koose—Steele. At the residence of ; the bride's father, Washington Steele, one mile east of Decatur. I Thurday, March 22nd, by Rev. J. j B. Fishes, Mb. Jacob Roots to , Miss Emma Steele. The nuptials were witnessed by a j large concourse of friends and invited guests. The wedding feast was all that an epicure could desire. The young couple have our best wishes for their kindly remembrance of the printer. Note.—The above was written and should have appeared in our issue of last week. —Ed. A WORD TO MOTHERS Mothers should remember it is a most important duty at this season to look after the health of their families and cleanse the malaria and impurities from their systems, and that nothing will tone up the stomach and liver, regulate the bowels and purify the blood so perfectly as Parker's Ginger Tonic, advertised in our columns.— /W Fee other column.
