During the after noon the ordinance of baptism by immer sion was administered to three subjects, by Mrs. Rev. Vandavere, who also delivered her farewell address to the church in the evening. In ojiir item of last week relating to the brick layers on our school building we had no other informant than one of the contracting parties of the same as to the rumor and understanding one other of the workmen told us to write the matter up for the Democrat, we reluctantly done so it should not be construed to mean anything outside of a jest,which it seemed to be taken for would do an injustice to the parties as their deportment here has been wholly to the reverse and the article appeared only through what seems now to be *n error of misunderstanding. L. L. Dunbar and family attended the Sunday school picnic on last Sunday, taking with them a good dinner consisting of spring chickens and other viands. But when the hour oi noon came they cheer fully accepted an invitation to dine with a friend, ior when they went to spread their repast they realized that the ways of this world is wicked and the heart of man no better,for some miscreant had carried away with foul intent their fowls and other viads with plate and platter. When humanity gets so low as to steal a family’s dinner unless having endured a seven days fast for want of food and no chanty at command would seize the honey bees while i in toil disarm them of their weapons and | * suck their bodies tor the sake of their I honey bags.

Boycotting the Girls. - A peculiar boycott is on in this city, which would he laughable were it not that ihe young men dre in dead earnest An enthusiastic and well attended meeting was held by some of Decatur’s best young meh the other night, for the purpose of duclaring a boycott against the young ladies. The position of the members was outlined in resolutins to this effect: ‘ That we organize a boycott; that this boycott apply to the the young ladies of the city of Decatur; that persist in going with small boys; that this boycott shall not apply to any one young lady in particular, but to those who persist in going with small boys; that the boycott shall not apply to any lady under 18 years of age; that information having reached our <ars that certain young ladies in the city of Decatur are in the habit of breaking engagments. We condemn this habit in the strongest terms possible, and boycott the young ladies in the future who shill be guilty of the same; that we boycott any young ladies over 15 years of age who allow boys under 15 years of age to call on or accompany them to places of worship or amusements; that we boycott any young lady who makes two engagements for the same evening; that we solemnly pledge ourselves to carry out the above resolutions. After these resolutions .were adopted, the boycotters adjourned, subject to call. Now it will be the young ladies turn to play even and boycott all young men who swear, drink, use tobacco, and play cards and don’t attend Sunday school.

We regret to say 'that Humphrey Hughes is absent from our town. His whereabouts is unknown. We hope he will turn up all right in a few days. A young lady of this place, one of Adams’ county teachers, thinking the Indiana schools were not sufficient tor her qualifications, took a course of study at Middlepoint, Ohio, and afterwards applied for license in that state and failed, and on returning home she informed her friends that she was satisfied with the money she had spent for what she had learned in society. The festival at Pleasant Mills Saturday evening was largely attended by both old Md young. Bobo and Monroe were represented by g large crowd, and everything passed of pleasantly with the exception of a few shallow-brained dudes firpm Monroe, who were considerably filled up on bug juice and who thought to show nut what little wit they possessed. But that is a common thing with the toughs of Monroe. We wish all the good people to return again on such an occassion. Berne Items. C. A. Wilson has been on the sick list this week. Mrs J. F.

Monroe items. The farmers’* exchange is in tall blast at Monroe. Remember the farmers’ institute st Monroe on the 22nd day of August Wednesday of last week Ed Leßron bad about two tons of hay destroyed by fire. Monroe is now needing a regular hotel. Who will be the man that will build dne? Our village is improving rapidly and travelers are getting thicker. The grist mill question was agitated last Saturday at Monroe by a few farmers who met for that purpose, so we were informed. The conclusions are in the dark. A drug clerk wanted at Monroe, one who can come well recommended, and capable of managing the business for one year. Address lock box 20, Monroe, Ind. There will be an ice cream social at Mrs. H. P. Merriman’s on next Saturday evening, the proceeds to go to the benefit of the needy. Everybody please come. Quite a delegation of the upper tens of Monroe went to Rome City on last Satur day with well-filled baskets to bask in the boiling sun, while the lower millions remained at home in the shade. Last Friday the Monroe court was kept quite busy on account of the State of Indiana against Joseph Mcßarnes charged with provoke by James Fristoe. Deputy J. Fred France gallantly fighting for the state againss his sire, Charles M. France, who was here, present himselt, the whole of himself, defending the defendant, and on the same day, the State of Indiana vs. George Zimmermann charged with assault and battery on the body of name unknown. Rollin Bobo defending Mr. Zimmermann, a fine of two dollars and costs were imposed. Zimmerman asked for an appeal to to the circuit court, which was granted. The two cases were sent herefrom Washington township. George H. Martz, of Monroe township, one of the committeemen of the Farmers* Institute, is active in advertising and distributing circirculars informing the public generally ot the next Farmers’ Institute which wtll be held at Monroe, on Saturday, August 22, 1891. There could not be a more active and interested man than Mr. Martz. He is one of the oldest young pioneer farmers in the county, liv ing on the same farm his father entered from the government fifty-two years ago. George is a Democrat by bijth, a farmer by practice and theory, and a good, wholesouled citizen by nature, he has always sustained an unblemished character among his neighbors, and has served the people of his township ter several years as assessor and trustee, with honor to him self and friends, and is qualified for any position he may ask for. A gentlemanly looking fellow dropped down in Monroe, bearing the title of M. D., hunting a location. He used up the Latin dictionary and the United States dispensatory and -many original words that we could not catch on, but we understood him by signs and gestures that he wanted to buy Simcoke’s drug store. Van was found behind the prescription case with all the mortars, weights, bottles, hammers and guns ready for the plug hatted gentleman in case of an attack. Van stepped out and confronted the M. D., and asked it he wished to purchase a drug store, the M. D. answered that he would like to buy a drug store in Monroe, and remain here. Would he like a blush on a physician’s cheek, a temporary erethema and colorific effulgence of the physiognomy actiologised by the perceptiveness of the sensorium when in a predicament of unquilibrity eventuating in a paresis oi the case of the vasso motor capillaries whereby being divested of their elasticity, they are suffused with radiant aerated compound nutritive circulating liquid emenative from an intimidated pre cordis of the left leg. Boys, the stay in this little village would cause my deciin ing body to become lazy—as in all the villages all over the land. At this instant Van’s armory was in requisition, and the fellow took a sneak for Buena Vista.

Good Looks. Good looks are more than skin deep, depending upon a healthy condition of all the vital organs. It the liver be inactive, you have a bilious look, if your stomach be disordered you have a dyspeptic look and if your kidneys be affected you have a pinched look. Secure good health and you will have good looks. Electric Bitters is' the great alterative tonic acta directly on these vital organs. Cures pimples, blotches, boils and gives a good com plexion.

W. C. T. U. Notes. The twenty first annual meeting of the Catholic Total Abstainance Union of America was held in Washington, D. C , commencing on the sth. of August. It was composed of a body of distinguished looking and very earnest men (character istics of total abstainers.) One of the peculiarities was the great number of young men. Cardinal Gibbons in his ad dress of welcome said: “Your effort and mission is to declare that intemperance like treason ought to be made odious, [applause] and there is a very close similiarity between the two. The treasonable man endeavors to dethrone the rightful sovereign and to place in his stead some usurping man, and intemperance dethrones reason, tor reason is the presiding spirit of our soul, is the ruler of our soul. Intern perance comes to disturb that peace and harmony in the Kingdom of God within us and to create and leave behind it nothing but anarchy and confusion.” Gratifying progress has been made in the temperance cause in the past year. The total membership of the Union is something over 53,000 exclusive of detatched societies. The Rev. Father Egan spoke of the situation in New York City and the opposition the priests had encountered in the excise board, and said that the principal opposition had come from the one Catholic member of the board. Father Clerry read a communication from the W. C. T. U. appointing delegates to the convention, which was received with prolonged applauses, and the delegates—Miss Frances Willard and Mrs S. D. LaFetra were Invited to seats in the convention as its fraternal guests and in response to repeated calls Miss Wiliard stepped to the platform and made a short address, during which she was frequently interrupted by enthusiastic applause. The committee on resolutions reached that in the efforts to overcome the evils of d;ink, there was no race, no creed, no color, no national distinction in this common struggle, in this common soirow but also common hope against a common foe. Catholic women were appealed to to initiate the W. C. T. U. and to c > operate, with them. That sound public policy does not seem to sanction the sale of liquor al the Chicago World’s Fair, nor does it require the existence of a tral sic prlveledged to coyer this fair lard with imported breweries, distilleries and saloons and which is also wrecking the homes, blighting high hopes, breaking hearts, ar d grinding down priceless souls into tbe mire of unutterable wretchedness and woe. Indianapolis was selected as the place holding the next convention. The following officers were elected: President. Rt. Rev. Joseph B. Cotter, Bishop of Winona; First Vice-president, Rev. Morgan M. Sheedy, of Pittsburg; Second Vice-president, W. A. Manning, of Cleveland, Ohio; Third Vice-president, Miss Sadie A. Moore, of Philadelphia; Treasurer, the Rev. McMalfon, of Cleveland; Secretary, Phillip Nolan. At the Boston Union Abstainance convention the following resolution was adopted: * That the Catholic maidens an<( matrons be appealed to in order that, by their organized effprts, they may imitate the noble example given to the world by the Women's Christian Temperance Union, in their untiring efforts to annihilate the horrors of intemperance, with its train of attendant evils, for women’s auxiliary total abstainance societies mean, everywhere, husbands redeemed, sons and brothers lifted up to nobler impulses and the love of cherished ones raised to a holier and purer level. Now let Boston’s “Catholic maidens and matrons by their organized efforts” do as the W. C, U. T. are doing, or let them join the W.C. T. U. Our Catholic women have held aloof from this noble or ganization too long.—/. C. B. U. Journal. "■ 1 Guaranteed Cure for Lagrippe.
