Decatur Democrat, Volume 27, Number 11, Decatur, Adams County, 15 June 1883 — Page 2

THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT BY .. ’ Friday, June i 5, 1883. In view of what Gov. Butler has done for Massachusetts it might be well for the other New England states to elect a democratic governs. They may all of them have more “Tewksberry” about them than they are willing to acknowledge. Gioßoa W. Julias, in the North American Review, charges that Carl gcburi, after helping rob Tilden 0 the presidency, by virtue of his office as Secretary of the Interior conveyed lands to railroad companies that did not belong to them, thus robbing the people. Aft. Julian makes a very black ease against the Secretary.

Local elections in Virginia two weeks ago indicate that Mahone has has lost bin grip upon t irginia politics. The consort of republicans and repudiationists would have never been entered into, but that a desperate cause required a desperate remedy. And now the Mahoneing business will be off the country over. Arthur will not be “for us" any longer.

Dorsey says that the rupture between Conkling and Garfield could be easily explained. All that would be required would bo the publication of a paper which he styles as an agreement between New York politicians and Garfield. Dorsey intimates that that paper would prove Conkling the martyr. This indicates a wonderful amount of latent harmony in the Republican party. It consists of stalwart and half breed presisting in taking each others scalps. custom to confer the degree of L. L. D. upon the governors of Massachusetts. Harvard also makes a practice of eonfering degree honors upon presidents. Sometime since they so honored one R. B. Hayes. Last weak they refused to so honor Gov. Butler. Ths trouble is the Gov. beat Harvard's men for the position, and as there was no 8 to 7 game played, their men still remains beaten. It is as contemptible a a specimen of aalics as ever w»s exhibited. Elegance and Purity. Ladies who appreciate elegance and purity are using Packer s Hair Balsam. It is the best article sold for restoring gray hair to its original color, beauty and lustre.

PLBASAST MII.LK ITEM*. RV VOJUtm HOMA Farmers as a general thing in this locality are done planting corn. The pied frog's orchestra is again heard in the land. Mr. John Armstrong and lady, of Berne. Ind., were visiting with friends in the city the past week. John reports everything all lively and prospering at Berne. Some of our energetic young men attended the commencement exercises at Decatur the Sth inst. reporting a general good time and everything done in good order, which speaks well for instructor as well as graduates. Samuel Steele who sometime since purchased the Joseph Winans farm, is greatly improving the looks of the house by putting on another story. Mr. Steele is one of those men that never leaves anything undone which should be done. The people in this locality are very much elated over the selection of the trustees as regarding County Superintendent. The Monmouth base ball nine met the first nine in the diamond field at this place on last Saturday, but owing to a little controversy the game was not finished. The score stood when stopped 8 to 4 in favor of the Monmouths.

Mrs. Rhoda Harb, of Willshire, 0., was the guest of Dr. J. T. Harper and lady on last Wednesday. Jesse Billman buys his coffee by the sack, sugar by the barrel, flour by the ton, cordial by the gallon, and when asked the reason why ? Answers, it is a boy and weighs 11 lbs. Who is it in Pleasant Mills that is so lately from California? Wilson Watson returned home on a visit from lowa, where he has been residing for the past year. Prof. Kirby closed a successful term of school in this place last week. The next term will open about the middle of August. Timely notice will be given through the columns of this paper. Mrs. Rosa Merries departed this life Monday morning, June 11th, after a lingering illness of nearly six months; funeral services Tuesday, conducted by Rev. D. B. Reckard. A team of horses belonging to Adam Alguire made a lively run away on last Saturday, but luckily no one hurt. John Fredline takes charge of the flouring mill at this place this week. We bespeak for him n liberal patronage. Our blacksmith shop now under the auspices of a Mr. Heckman, is doing a good business. John knows how to tack on a shoe as good as the best. We judge from the amount of cigar boxes lying around the doctors office that he is going into the cigar business. How is it Doc?

H has three railroads: The Grand Rapids aud Indian. .the Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis: and last, but least > cago A Atlantic. Thera: spe about forty trains a day passing through our city, and ths whistle of the locomotive and the rumbling of thd trains are sounds which never cease Ons thing we mention. which is that tickets for any part of the country at the best rates are on sal eat the .deppf of the C. & A. railroad, Decatur, and baggage can be checked anywhere.

The Root township boys and Pleasant Milla base baliistn had—or rather intended to have a game Saturdav. Two innings were played, when Pleas ant Mills kicked against a decision of the umpire, John Walters, which ended the game. Better have played it out boys. The Democrat has appointed H. A. Fristoe its agent for the purpose of settling old subscriptions and soliciting new subscribers. He will, forthat purpose, make a complete canvass of' the county. We bespeak for him a cordial reception from our friends, and any considerations accorded him as a personal favor. A. J. Hill, Manager. There is, since the last issue of the Journal, a new classification of society been going on in this place. It is a scratch if you find any one who acknowledges himself as belonging to the class known as "our most respected citizens, and especially those who profess personal disgust of the "way such ranches are conducted. Eli Brown, lang syne editor of the Columbia City Pott, called at the Democrat office, Wednesday. Memories and reminiscences of editorial work of twenty-five years ago and pol ■ itics far away in the past were review ed in a friendly chat. There are but few editors cf a quarter of a century's experience now working in the editorial harness.
