, Geneva items. For fresh imported “Beat Sugar” inquire of Doc. Aspy. John Deffenbaugh moved to his farm the first of the week. Mr. Will Hale, of the firm of Hale & Bolds, spent Sunday in Decatur. Mrs. Collins, of Ceylon, who has been quite sick for some time, is slowly recovering. Our building boom still continueth. A number of new dwellings are being constructed. Mrs. Ella Brandyberry is in Decatur this week helping to nurse her brother, Solon. Snow. J. D. Hale of Decatur, was in town Tuesday on business and shaking hands with old friends. • Geo. Schimp,one of Jay county’s leading teachers, spent Sunday swith Sim. Burk’s family, east of town. “ b S. H. Anderson, of Ceylon, has been quite sick for a few days; but it is hoped he will escape a siege of fever. Miss Loretta Snow who is teaching the "Pine Hill” school, is making her home with Mr. J. P. Scheer’s family. A number of our people are taking in the Portland fair this week. A couple firms from this place have stands on the grounds. Rev. C. M. Hollopeter, pastor of the M. E. church at Coessa, Ind., but formerly, of this place, preached to a large congregation Wednesday evening. The Daughters of Rebecca of this place initiated l3 six new subjects last Tuesday evening to the mysteries of their order. The organization is growing very rapidly. Uncle John Crawford, deputy treasurer, was in town Monday and Tuesday of this week, looking up the delinquent tax list. , He does not seem to frighten the “delincturns” like the “immortal J. N.” Mr. Shanks, of the firm of Runyon & Shanks, who has been prostrated with typhoid fever for some time, is now convalescent. Dr. Brayton is much praised for his skill in this dreaded disease. David Linton and wife, of this vicinity were called to Decatur, Monday by a special message, to the bedside of Mrs. Wm. M. Reed, Mrs. Reed’s many friends in this place hope for her a speedy recovery. The Line street improvement will be completed this week. It is made of crushed stone and gravel and we hope to hear of no complaining next spring on account of lakes and goose ponds in front of our business houses. The citizens and business men of Geneva are sparing no pains to make the toWn as good a trading center as can be found in this or surrounding countries, and now they ask and earnestly beseech the farmers to stand by them. You are acquainted with the business men of this place and know that when you were shorty of money to pay for your goods they patiently waited until you could get it; therefore the very feeling of gratitude ought to prompt you to remember these same friends when you mean to lay in your winter supplies, instead ot going to strangers of some other places.

Baker charging him with stealing a carpenter’s brace some time ago. The missing tool was found at Porter’s second hand store and identified and the purchaser testified that he had bought it from Mr. Bogner. The preliminary examination was held before Hill who found the evidence sufficient to warrant him in binding the defendant over to court in the sum of $350. Failing to give bail he was remanded to jail, but it is understood his brothers are going to have him released from custody. There seems to be a prevailing opinion that Bogner is slightly demented, caused by having sustained severe injuries on his head by a fall some years ago, since which time ha frequently snowed signs of mental aberration,

Monroe Items. C. A. Thompson is now the operator for G. R & I. at Kalamazoo, Mich. The F. M. B. A. will meet in mass con vention at Monroe, October 14, 1890. Mys. McAdoo, of Decatur, spent last Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hendricks. V. B. Simcoke is taking orders for gold and silver watches, silverware, clocks and fine jewelry. The Monroe graded school will begin next Monday morning with Laughrey at the helm. There seems to an emigration to Tennessee from Monroe this fall, and perhaps they are bettering their condition. Who knows? Miss Mertie Numbers and her moli.cr will again move to Monroe’this week, and remain through the winter with.* j Monroeites. Miss Numbers is the tench-1 er in *th» primary department of Monroe graded schools. Farmers if you are aiming to save a large percent on purchase of drugs, pat< ■ medicines and hundreds of articles are kept in a drug store, just call upon V. B. Simcoke and if prices don’t astonish you we will,set up the milk shake. There was an educational meeting held in the Hocker Hall at Monroe last Monday night. The programme was an extensive one. Many people interested in the cause of education were present from Berne. A very large crowd was in attendance. Last Sunday week Howard Thompson converted his whole barnyard into a croquet ground. Two sets of-balls were runing all day except the time taken for square meals. The number of players and spectators were twenty. . Howard acted as umpire or judge of the games. Last Sunday L,acy Sells and V. B. Simcoke with their families, visited Mr. and Mrs. John Hendricks, Sr., at their resi-. dence near Monroe and very unexpectedly met a Mrs. Martha Fisher, ot O hio, who ' just came on a visit to relatives and friends. Mrs. Fisher is a full cousin to many people around Monroe. The day was spent in social chat— referring back to the good old days of the past. « Albert Spooler has moved himself and a bran new wife, with all his chatties, to his large farm of two hundred acres, onehalf mile east of Monroe. We hope he may remaian with us during the remainder of his days, for it’s very pleasant to have such neighbors around. Mr. Spooler is now teaching school three miles north of Monroe going to and returning from school every morning and evening; Why do the farmers around Monroe want to boy-cott Monroe? Have not the merchants and business men of Monroe been very I'enient and accommodating with you all? The merchants have not attempted to rush you and drive you to the wall, nor have they exacted high prices for such articles you were compelled to have. The merchants and business men are now beginning to see the fall off in trade. It’s now time to purchase heavy bills of goods in the way of winter clothing, flannels, boots and shoes and other necessaries for winter and no doubt Bluffton and Decatur will get that trade. Good-bye Monroe. Bobo Items. <=» : y G. W. Mclntosh was in the burg this week. “ * Miss Minna Brothers was home on a visit this week. Judge Bunner is very poorly. He is past 84 years old. Next Sunday night the new Brethren preacher will preach at the school house. S. W. Carpenter made a flying trip to a party south of Pleasant Mill last Saturday night. Rev. Foster preached at Mt. Tabor last Sunday. After preaching he administered the ordinance of baptism. They Run Out of Ambition. An old soldier who knew more of fighting than of history or grammar, said it was no wonder our boys of the north got licked at Bull Run, it was because they run out of “ambition.” Os course he meant ammunition. But you will never run out of ambition or ammunition if you take Dr. Burdick’s Kidney Cure, the only reliable remedy tor Bright’s disease and diabetes. It has never failed to cure in a single case any ordinary kidney or liver trouble. One or two bottles will make a cure. Price 75c. and |i.oo. Sample’ bottle free.

Mr. Sprunger’s health was very much improved while away from home. If you want your hair dressed neat, call at F. G. Hofer’s.

This term of school promises to be the most successful one yet held at this place. Julius Yoos went to Markle. Huntington county, where he will probably spend a few weeks, to visit his brother who is engaged in the harness business at that place. Mr. Yoos has not fully decided what he will do at present. He may take a trip, to Europe where his parents reside. Mr. Yoos leaving us Berne, will loose a very good citizen as he is a good, upright young man. Our best wishes follow him wherever he may go. Cash Store—After deliberate consideration I have concluded that business can be done to a better advantage by selling for cash. From and after Oct. Ist, I will sell for cash only and can sell goods at much lower prices. You will find my stock complete in every respect. Any medicine you see advertised I can furnish you. Your patronage is always appreciated and it is my aim to give my customers the best goods that can be obtained and at reasonable prices. Yours resp’t., John F. Lachot. Remarkable Facts. Heart disease is usually supposed to be incurable, but when properly treated a large proportion of cases can be cured. Thus Mrs. Elmira Hatch, of Elkhart, Ind., and Mrs. Mary L. Baker, of Ovid, Mich., were cured after suffering 20years, S. C. Linburger, druggist of San Jose, 111., says that Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, which cured the former, “worked wonders for his wife.’’ Levi Logan, of Buchanan, Mich., who had heart disease for 30-years, says two bottles made him “feel like a riew man.” Dr. . Miles’ New Heart Cure is sold and guaranteed by W. H. Nachtrieb. Book of wonderful testimonials free. ' “Got His Foot In It.” The Democrat scribe met a prominent Republican, not a resident of the city, on tue street Tuesday, when the following conversation ensued : “I see,” said our Republican friend, “that the Democrat and Journal still ‘whacks’ each other occasionally.” We replied .that it became our duty to “straighten out” our neighbor once in a while as he had a natural inclination toward getting “crooked” upon almost every subject discussed in his paper. “True enough. It beats all that Ashcraft has gotten himself in a box oh that Wabash business. As soon as I saw it in The papers I remarked he had committed a blunder. Now he realizes that it hurreand in trying to get out of the “soup” he has been making matters worse. Well, it’s a fact that no man gets sp smart but that he is liable to get his ‘foot in it,’ but may be this thing will teach him a lesson.” Our representative replied that he thought it would, and passed on. Rneumatlsm Can be Cured. Although it han baffled our best physi-, cians, it can be permanently cured by the proper use of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, which cleanses the blood of ail poisonous matter and induces a healthy action of the kidneys and liver. To secure the best results, Hibbard’s Rheumatic and Liver Pills, and Strengthening and Rheumatic Plasters should be used in connection with , theJSjrrup.

— — £inn Grove kerns. F. A. W. Lindsey and family Sunday ed with relieves at Geneva. E. D. Walser has movfd into the house vacated by Dr. J. A. Wa’.ser. Emanuel Ledy and wife were at the bedside of Alonzo Shanks, of Geneva, on last Sab; a- □. Charley Caldwasser and family,- of Bluffton, were visiting E. D. Walser, of ’ this plac . on last Sabbath. Stiner had husked and cribbed ,ten wagon load s of corn up to Tuesday evening. Mr. S. will harvest a large amount ol good corn this tall. P. Hoffman,David Runvon. Talferd and Elmer, his sons, and Dr. J. Yoder started up North to stir up the denizens of tiie forests of Michigan on Monday. Christian A. Amstutz, who was taken to the asylum for the insane a short time ago, was brought back on Monday. Mentally there is no change in his condition, while physically he is much worse. Frederick Hoffman left a specimen of potatoes at the store of Hoffman & Gottydhalk. They are of the “Bell” variety ■and are very fine. Anyone who can beat them will get a reward. Fred says there are not manv in a hill, but that they make up the deficiency in quality and size. Peter Hoffman cut down his shade trees in frontW his residence last week. They were silver leaf poplar and were brought from Randolph county and set out by F. A. W. Lindsey in the fall of 1867. When cut they girted sixty inches in circumference and each made one cord of four-foot wood, including one saw log which will be made into lumber. Two strangers who hailed from Troy, Ohio, gave an entertainment in magic wonders on Monday evening. The show was not well patronized but those who did see if say they were well entertained. On returning the next morning to the hall, the proprietors found that some one had broken in during the night and car ried off their curtains. Boys you should remember the Golden Rule. On last Sabbath we got a family invitation to take a ride out in the country which was accepted. After all were seated in our conveyance we called the roll when eight answered to their names. We headed our horses north-westward on the beautiful pike With no particular place in view. Before we were fully aware we were inside the corporate limits of that ancient hamlet, Newville. Not wishing to disturb the quietude of that place, we passed on through to the northwest. One of our party then conceived the idea ot visiting the cemetery located east of the town. On meeting a gentleman we inquired the road to the cemetery, when he regrettingly answered that he did not know where he lived. Venturing our chances we drove on and by and by appearently into a resident barnyard from which place led a road in the direction of the place in view. After traveling quite a distance on this road one of our party halloed “halt.” Just in front of us was a monster hill, the foot of which was invisible. “We never can get down that hill,” “We will all get killed,” “We will get out,” was heard from our better half. All got out but three whom we persuaded to keep their seats. We took the lines from the driver, braced ourself and s tarted down what looked to us a perpendicular height. Step by step our trusty animals went. Presently we were safely landed in a ravine below. We climbed the hill beyond on, the top of which and to our right was located the sacred gi ound, which as one approaches is very inviting, owing to the manner and taste of its keeping. We have seen cemeteries of large cities that would not compare with this one in its keeping. We have seen tomb stones ot ancient make to the costly. monument of these modern times among which were many beautiful designs. It was our pleas ure to visit the place some eighteen years ago. But what a change! From the Potters field of then to the now enticing place to bury the dead. The people can be congratulated for the interest they have taken and labor displayed in beautifying the city of the dead. A National Event. The holding ol'a-World’s Fair in a city scarcely fifty years-old will be a remarkable event, but whether it wi I really benefit this nation as much as the descovery of the Restorative Nervine by Dr. Franklin Miles is doubtful. This is just' what the American people need to cure their excessive nervousnes , dyspepsia, headache, dizziness, sleeples ness, neuralgia, nervous debility, dullne s, cofifusion of mind, etc., It acts like a charm.

Meeting. The farmers of Kirkland township and those of neighboring dist icts held a meeting at Election school house, in tha’ - township, on Tuesday evening of this week at which time the purposes and advantages of the Farmers’ Mutual Benefit Association to the farmers generally were explained by different indr. iduals in the hope that those not belonging to the order would be induced to unite with it. There were also a few remarks made touching the question of endorsing candidates for office nominated by either o the old political parties and the prevai ing sentiment of the order seemed to be ag linst anything of the kind. The ordbr do.-s not appear to favor the election of even one of.its own members who has been nominated for office by either of the political parties and it was suggested that it could not endorse any candidate unless he. wa put forward by the order. This brought forth a short talk from Joseph D. Btery. whom the Republicans have nominated for representative in this district, and in the course Os his remarks he declared his intention not to allow himself to become a candidate, as the nomination was tendered him unsolicited, consequently he would not accept it. It is generally understood that politics will be barred from the F. M. B. A. in this county this fall. The First Step.

m —nonmnr rmirTLf 1 uJWtinMLmi f W. C. T. U. Notes. * The Loyal Temperance Legion meets on Sunday at 4;o’clock, at XV. C. T. U. Hail. All are invited. The L T. L. is an organization for boys and- girls banded together for inst&ictio in temperance and 1- giene. All ever oi’t laird are tlioi;sanus o» boys I and gi.-;? wln.i have t-ien the- pledge to I abstain from alcoholic drink, from tobacco 1 in all O' its form- and from profanity. ; Who. shall say. that the children who take I this triple, pledge and keep it, wili not make healthier and better men and women than those who do not? Is there a mother in our city who would not feel proud to say, “My boy neither drinks beer, chews tobacco, nor swears.” “The child Os ■ to-day is the man of to-morrow.” Let u< then in the words of another, “Goto work and out of the material God has put into ou r hands,- make men and women capable of better things.” These meetings a°re neither sectarian nor political in any party sense, so that all may feel free to come and assist us in making them inter- . esting. It would seem that every agenev that has for its object the uplifting of humanity.to a higher plane, ought to commend itself to Christian parents. , Mrs. L. D. B. Cowan in the Organizer > says, “At the very best in these davs ot dangerous opportunities, guard children as we may, they must meet with tempta- ’ tions on every side—temptations of the pool-room, the saloon, the brothel, obscene pigtures, bad books and papers, profane talk/vulgar stories, ribald songs, bad companions—and only those who have ' been wisely taught the privileges of puritjjwand truth, can be expected to sue1 cessmlly resist these temptations.” ”, R. J. Burdette: “You give your bov a , penny to drop into the collection box for ; the heathen. The next day you give him ■ a quarter for base ball or the circus?’ » A gold watch with a white ribbon at- ■ tached, was sent by a young lady school : -teacher in southern Kansas to be sold to ■ help to save the homes in Nebraska. * # * Kelley Bound Over. James Kelley, the farmer of Blue Creek r township, arrested last week on the charge 1 of fraudulently attempting to obtain a pen--1 his preliminary examination beJ 'fore'tommissioner Harper, of Ft. Wayne, : on Friday. The evidence appeared to war 1 rant the commissioner in binding the pris- : oner over for his appearance before the t United States court and*he was held in S2OO J bond with his brothers as surety. i Kelley had represented that he was a : member of company I, Sixty-eighth Ohio, t and that he was honorably- discharged at e Chattanooga, Tenn., when in truth and in - fact he never was a member of company e I, Sixtj-eighth Ohio, and was not dist charged at Chattanooga. There was a r James Kelley who lived at Union Grove, - Grant county, the real member of company 1 I. Both these men filed application for a f pension with Powell & Fitzgerald, pension e agents at Indianapolis, and that firm, after r a time, dropped the real member of Com 1- pany I, and their subsequent correspon- - dence was with the defendant. Filing an ” affidavit that his certificate of discharge t had been lost he obtained one through 1 Fitzgerald, but his son changed the numj ber of the regiment and when he made ap--1 plication to the department thev made in--1 qury albout the matter and detected some-' :. thing iyrong.>. Hence the arrest. Kelley . claims, however, to have enlisted in the 1 service but after a few days in camp he - became ruptured and was sent home, s r ? The Republican judicial and legislative ’ conventions were held at Portland on last j Saturday. David Bell, of Jay county was . nominated for state 'senator, and David j Wilson,of Blackford, and Joseph D. Beery, t - of Adams, for representatives. Zeph Lea, s of Camden, was the nominee for p'rosecuting attorney. All are said to be mems bers of the F. M. B. A., except Lea, whiqh shows that the Republicans are try3 ing to catch the Democrat farmer vote ' through that channel? . ' The carp pond on Second street opposite ’ the Democrat office is no more. The “street commissioner with a force of men took up that portion of the street and re laid it, thus elevating it several inches. This spoils “Jingle” Westerfield’s calcular tions. He was thinking of turning the - pond into a skating rink this winter for the - amusement of the young people. The “Stoneburner” to whom the Demot crat referred last week as being taken in : by the confidence sharpers, lives in Wash- , ington township instead of Kirkland. Our • Kirkland township friend says he can 1 prove an alibi in his case—that he was at 1 home on show day. We take pleasure in I making the correction.
