Peter Hoffman was at Indianapolis the first part of the week to buy holiday goods. Oil was struck at the Shepherd well on last Saturday night at a depth of ore thousand feet Drilling was then stopped until Monday, and owing to the writer being abroad no fu’l report can here be given. The Christian c-urch is holding a protracted meeting conducted by Rev Turney. Two hundred and fifty barrels of oil is dispensed daily from the farm of Eugene Lindsey, of this township.

The repremand given in the Democrat of Nov. 25th for the benefit of the editor of the Journal was a merited one. Mr. Ashcraitshould remember that Democrats and Republicans were united in one common cause in defense of our National colors on the battle field, and he will have our obligations if he answers our querry: Who it was that when the Republicans of Indiana were in the South quelling the unplesantness at which time O. P. Morton was elected Governor by a large majority, and at the close of the war when they returned home Thomas A. Hendricks was elected Governor by about the same plurality. It will take no thorough investigation to show that when there was a Republican to the front by his side there stood a Democrat. While we are conscienciously opposed to war, yet we have one brother who left his life on the battle field, and one was made a cripple for life, and he who rolls the appellation, rebel, as a sweet morsal under his tongue is surely minus a charitable heart, especially so, when we consider the locality and the age in which we live. Elonadus Davis and wife, of Knox, Indiana, is visiting the family of Jacob Coffman. The Shepherd oil well was shot on last Wednesday. Salt water so far is the most prominent yield of the well. Oil in paying qeantities is expected. The Pittsburg oil company has let the contract for the erection of an oil rig on ihe Daniel Yoder jarm, across the river from the Three Mile Bridge. This will be the first derrick in sight of our town, The largest stock of toys ever brought to this place can now be seen at the store of Hoffmann & Gottchalk. Our Collection. Joyful songs are listened to by the Monroe people when they go to Decatur on the mud road. The reason is the bridge is completed one mile north of Monroe. Frank Davis is father—"just since last week. Last week the Democrat gave the Hon. John Ashbaucher and family their best wishes. The family now reside in Bluffton, Honduras is known no longer. Everything has turned in the old city of Henpeck. Protracted meeting has closed at Washington church with but little excitement. The Monroe graded school will soon organize a debating society. Such an organization is much needed. i Very little sickness has been in this part Vs the country tnis fall Some say the \r was cleansed by the’last election. \ — , Pleasant Mills Items. The saw and gust mill are doing a rushing business Rev. Foster h»s been conducting a series of meetings for the past three weeks at this place. The prospects are not very favorable for a revival.
