At the interval where'two days arel iftiked together a repast was served, after the rendition of more music they’left their ]best wishes for the host and hostess and left for their homes rejoicing.

All seemed to’cenjoy the occasion and are cordially invited to call again. If the late cold weather did not completely exterminate his whole race. The old ground hog must have felt tip-top last Thursday when he came out and observed the cloudy weather and read therein the Beense of his release from confinement. “Winter is over,” says Mister Ground Hog. There are eight candidates for the Berne postoffice and each one seems to think his chances could not be better. Wm. Brown is among those on the sick list at this place, being troubled with lung feuer. 1 P. P. Ashbaucher, trustee of Monroe tp., has the honor of holding an institute that hasjnofhad its equal of late years. - The same wasjheld at No. 4 school house, there were 14G in attendance. The exeK cises of the entire day were very interesting and instructive. A general good time was enjoyed by_rall present. Why could not all institutes be such a-success as this ; was. Mr. Ashbaucher deserves praise and can be proud of the corps of teachers he lias'under his supervision this schopr’year. > Florida Letter. Bbaidentown, Fla., Feb.;’, 1893. The following letter from IL B, Allison was handed tifus. The trip of J. IL Trentman and self was uneventful. We found snow all through Kentucky, Tennessee and; Georgia, some places to the depth of eight inches. The first few days after our arrival on the Man- . atee the weather was quite cold but since has moderated very'much, and Tor the last week the mercury has registered from 72 to 80 in the shade, and the natives are out In their shirt sleeves at work. Vegation | was very much injured the forepart of ft January, and therforeJJvegetablesTare not so plentiful as they were at this time last’ year, but still we have an abundance of ; tomatoes, potatoes, pears and some cucumbers. Thereto quite a large number of oranges on the trees yet and , they are quite a luxury when compared with what we get up north, or as John Trentman says, in the “States.” Fishing is not so good as usual on account of the north winds, which keep out the tides, but we anticipate much sport in that line just as soon as we get a south or southwest wind which is sure to come soon, • U they generally prevail during the month of February. It was quite a sight to see the dead Jack fish floating in the river, actually frozen to death, they being without scales

therefore are not so hardysis many others. “ They were so plentiful that they created a ’ very bad odor when a person had to go on the beach but now since the water is warming up we sec fewer of them. It may seem like a fish story, but there was actualily ii shark feet long camo ashore to warm up and was captured by the small 1 boys. The natives say there never was a colder : month in the history of the state than the past January. There is a.lady at Braiden--1 town. Mrs. Humphrey,fwlio rejoices in the ownership of a magnificent specimen of the famous Chinese sacred lilly. The bulb was put in a tumbler of water four or five weeks ago has put out one after another of green leaves until now it looks like bunches of bullrushes, displaying eight bunches of three Hilles each, which with yellow center. and giving out a magnificent oder, unlike any other I have ever smelled. It is a great curiosity. - There has been a company formed on the river to grow lemons on a large scale. They have already received 10,000 trees and will continue to receive more as fast as they can place them. I think perhaps their cultivation will be more profitable than the raising of oranges, as the light frosts do not injure them so easily. Although this country has large deposits of phosphate they do not work the beds for the reason that it is so expensive to get it to market, but the day may come when they may find it profitable. The railroad they were building last year when 1 was here is no nearer completion than when I left last April, and it now looks as though it never would be. I do not think there would be business enough to justify the expense of building at least not now. John Trentman is getting along splendidly, having increased his weight from 134 to 142 pounds, and'says great hemlock, I sleep so sound at night. I can scarcely get my eyes open in the morping. As for myself. 1 had an attack of sore throat when I first came here, and have not fully recovered yet. The party from Des Moines, lowa, who own the Korena will be here the last of this week, and will sail on their annual fishing cruise about next Monday. They have given me a hearty invitation to go along, but I don’t care te be cooped up in a vessel for two months, therefore will decline their very agreeable offer. 1 am now sitting out on the veranda writing this, and the sunshine and warm air is making me lazy, so 1 will close these random notes for 1 actually believe I am getting to lie half cracker already, and don't care to make much of an effort. Hoping that you are all well, and that the cold weather lias moderated in your country by this time, I am yours truly, R, B. A. School Notes. Joint Teacher’s Institute at Berne, Saturday, February 18,1893. Reduced railroad rates on the’morning train. Prof. A. Jones, of Marion, Ind., will lecture at Berne on February 18, 1893. Every school corporation in the county will be represented at the Berne Institute Feb. 18, 1893. The program of exercises is unquestionably a good one, and none on duty will fail to ably handle the subject assigned. Arrange to be in attendance to witness the exercises at thexßernej Institute February 18,1893. The State Legislature should give us an intermediate grammar and'a primary United States history as an addition to the state adoptions. A majority of the public schools will close-with the month of March. So far there has been but little tardiness. The literary part of the teacher’s examination for the month of February, March, April, May, June and July will be Holme’s “Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.” More than fifty of Adams county’s young teachers will attend school within the spring and summer vacation. The editors will be there, and the ministers will attend at the Berne Institute. Eight new school buildings were erected in Adams county within the present school year. J. T. Kelley, one of Jefferson township’s teachers, resigned his position to accept a position in one of the legislative committees. Mr. Kelley is an efficient teachers, yet one cannot censure him for accepting a more lucrative position. > (Common school graduation will be held by several of the graded schools of the county.

Frederick Scheiman, Preble township Infant child of Philip Erb, Williams. Horace Brunett, from Chicago, is desirous of locating a canning factory at Decatur, if a little encouragement will be given by our citizens. A factory of this kind would employ, during the canning season, from 100 to 150 people. A meeting will be held next Tuesday evening at the Democrat office, and every body interested in the welfare of our city should turn out. With a little effort this factory can be secured. Without factories of some kind, Decatur must soon enter au epoch of emply houses, and tenantless business rooms. Everybody come to the meeting to , organize the canning factory. Creat Triumph.

The Chelera and the State Boanl of Health. Modern science has Unfolded the true nature of most of the contagious and Infectious epidemic diseases. It has proved that man can prevent the greater number of them in mafiy cases, and restrict their spread and mitigate their severity in nil cases by the exercise of feasible precautions. But these precautions require an Intelligent directing mind, suitable appliances and sufficient trained help. Itstands to reason that the State Board of Health should look out for and prevent or restrict the introduction of cholera into Indiana the coming year. The Columbian fixposition at Chicago will draw millions of visitors from all countries of the world, who will find their pathway over Indiana soil. These visitors are liable to be carriers of the cholera bacillus. The railway lines in all probability be sources of infection. The State Board of Health should at once adopt measures tc meet any emergency. Obviously there should be Inspection by skilled health officers on all trunk lines of railway. There should be disinfection of passenger cars and railway tracks. The excreta of passengers falling on the tiacks may become a nidus of infection. The railroads should be compelled by law to do this disinfecting. There should be disinfecting vans provided, similar to those in use at Milwaukee and elsewhere, which could be shipped to points where the disease might break out. There should be means at* hand to provide for hospital tents and other appliances, and trained nurses to prevent inhumanity and panic when the visitation comes. But these things cannot be done unless the Legislature will provide an Epidemic Fund and place it at the disposal of the Governor and the President of the State, Board of Health. If God shall avert the’ epidemic the money will not lie used; but if He permits the leaden-hued spectre of Ganges to invade our State, then the Governor will thank Him if the Legislature will have provided tbe means to mitigate and restrict the terrible evils that follow in the wake of this dread spectre. At least fifty thousand dollars should be appropriated to be used in tbe discretion of the Governor and President of the State Board of Health to prevent the introduction and spread of cholera in Jndiana. We also think that the time has come to enlarge the powers and duties of the State Board of Health, and to increase the appropriation to pay Its expenses, from five thousand to at least seven thousand five hundred dollars per year. A larger number of its annual reports should be printed and circulated. In the Annals of Hygiene for February, 1893, we find tbe following: Scotch sanitarians are now strongly urging the centralization of sanitary authority, and are urgently decrying optional sanitary legislation. Both Scotland and England are urgently clamoring for a Ministry of Public Health, The French Workmen’s Sanitary Congress, recently held in Paris, entertained similar views, all of which causes the Lancet to conclude that the day is not far distint When in every civilized country there will lie a Ministry of Public Health. Let us earnestly hope that our own progressive country will not lie slow to adopt this most desirable innovation. CoMmnnicated. Editor Democrat:—Have the kindness to accept my suggestion. I understand by the reading of youF valuable paper that the Toledo, St. Louts <fc Kansas City Railrord Co., '.deisres to make Decatur a division point. I propose that you or some one else draw up a petition to the effect that the County Commissioners donate tbe old Fair grounds to said company on condition that one of thelF divisions be located at this place and that the necessary repair shops accompany it. We must have work for the laboring people or our city is dead. 1 will do all tfidt I can toward helping to circulate the petition. lam also in favor of a Fair. Why can we not have one as well as other counties? We have just as intelligent men, but we want the push. Gentlemen, wake up. Do not let the Democrat be all the time trying to wake up an interest, but crowd it with good ideas as to what is best to do. We have as good a county as any in the state, therefore let us have a (Minty Fair. 7 T/. Hart. ——— I I II ■ ■■ I —>!—■—■■■■■ ■ Notice of Assignment for Benefit of Creditors.
