■the JJemnrrat Kfc-'i.'-. ■■■—■■ -— 'NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS. Hobo It onto. » e' John ’l’lmtolier niui wife, of Uolutn■■ua, Ohio, are visiting Mr. Kzekinl 1 routman. ' , i Jehu Melchl, of Schiimin. Ohio, was in ■ our burg over Hie Fourth. A number of Bobo people went to AVill- ! uhlre, Ohio, to spend the Fourth. ’ Mr. Logan, of Angola. Iml., is visiting L James Ault and family L Bobo was very quiet on the Fourth. | Nearly all of our people wont to Decatur | or Willshire. Steeie Simmerings. I' The agricultural interests in this vicinity | are receiving marked attention. Longonbarger Bro’s have just completed I-, tlielr saw mill well and will soon lie ready I to run a full-fledged business. i E. IL Clawson says he would not have a V byelcle because he can walk furthci in a g. day than one of them run. You boys that I Intended to buy bycides had better giseit | up and take a trip or two with Eph. | Riley Bro’s show was largely attended last Wednesday night, but did not complete their program. They finished it last Monday night. * L- Several of our people attended the I ourih > of July celebration at the various neighs boring towns. ?. C. C. Calderwood closed his normal last i week. There was no grand display of I tailent offered, but it was a simple, ordinary * ' old-fashion last day. k I Some of <nir people are digging wells to be in readiness perchance this summer ?' should turn ont dry as most previous seatv sons have. The Daily family here returned from i Chicago. All seem to be well pleased. Linn Crove Crist. Olney and Ernest Walser and Albert Musser, of Anderson, Ind., were visitors | here over the Fourth. William Schlagenhauf again carried off the first prize in a foot race at Bluffton on the Fourth. Billy is seldom left when it j comes to a run. Owing to a defect in the proceedings the I ease against William Anderson for kidnaping was dismissed in Cowan’s court on Monday. Children’s Day for the season has been observed by all of our churches. While i they are instructive and enjoyed by young and old, yet if one-half of the distance was '. traveled to attend ordinary church services | our congregations would be much larger and our measures of good more often filled. In relation to our report of the affray in our last week.s items, it is proper to state | that the saloon or its proprietor mar which | it took place is not accountable for the ocK currance. The owner, in unison with all ! our citizens, deplore the unpleant event. E Many of our people spent the holiday at * Bluffton, while our urchins kept us in remind of our natal day during the day, when ’ they were reinforced by the aged in the evening with a pyrotecnic display which ; was pleasing to view. But are there any to deny that had fifty percent of the money thus spent over our land been invested in bread for the needy, that the tendency ? would'be much greater in loosening the bars when knocking for admittance at the pearly gates. | Wholesome advice is no scarcity to the professional bussiness men of one of our f neighboring towns, who was found laying I under one of our awnings at a late hour the other night in a comatose state. Should our undertaker chance to discover him and E mistake him for a subject of his, and away he goes into the ice box. Monroe Melange. i Look out for a bran new wedding at Monroe soon. E. . « |-< Oliver T. Hendricks and wife took in the Bights at the windy city last week, returning home Tuesday. Chas. Hocker, one of our Monroe boys, ; who is attending the Normal college at Mary ion, was at home visiting his parents last Sunday, returning Monday. ? The fellow who last his hat and a tuft of long, dark hair, in a frightful, hard closewoven cobweb near a hen coop in Monroe, can have the trophies by calling where ; found, and receive a reward that he can | carry in the seat of his pants to thp day of his death. fe. Mrs. Dr. O. I’. M. Andrews died Halit Tuesday, July 4, at her residence in Monroe, after many months of distressing pain. She leaves a loving husband and three childreil to mourn their great loss. From the conversation of the people at Monroe, we judge that there is quite an excitement about the choice of teachers for the Monroe graded schools tiff* coming winter. We understand there are three < r f jur applicants for the principal department. The people are pretty well divided ?. as to the selection. The parents or patrons -of the schools, we understand, are to make I the selection. There is too much prejudice and ill feeling existing among them to make a selection, and we might be very poor judges as to who would make a good ’ teacher, and suit all. Wv suggest the idea that it would be better and more satisfactory to the pupils of the schools for them to meet at the school house and there make their own selection,*' tlief would be the better judges- as they are all acwith the applicants, and they an' the ones so be satisfied because they are more interested. t-, The No. 2 Monroe Ilemizer to the Diu<>S chat last week spoke of the Monroe Me- | lange Correspondent’s mind being unbalanced whtm h’e spoke, of the Children’s ' Day exercises at Monroe as being almost a J | failure. Mr. No. 2 admits that then' was a J blunder on the part of the little ones. The 5 reasons he asigns were that of 'he organist ' ’ being inexperienced and could not do jus- ' tlce to the selections of music. Now, right < there was the fault, and blunder of the old- . ’ ,er ones (so called instructors) in the exer- • cities. They had all the children and or- t ganlst practicing the program for many * ■evenings prior to the day of performance. 1 The instructors were the ones to judge as I j ttolhe competency of the orggnist aiid not place Iter In position to cause embarrass- , iaaent ami almost a failure in the proceed- L, Incsand then place the blame upon one '<

who was willing to do her di ity nnd ai<l in carrying out the program ass dictated by the incompetent judgment oT.noiuo ohe who selected the organist, perhaps stone so for a damaging effect upon tho sirganist, as they ought to have known ns to her competency after so many rehcrsab>. The little children were doing their part as best they could, and meant well under tiie tircumstances. The program was good, and the greater pint of the exercises was performed by older ones, nnd gave us some very good vocal noise. Monroe, can for a fact produce more of the biggest little children than any other part of the vineyard. No. 2 advises us to say something that would encourage the business men of Monroe, when he himself goes to Decatur and lugs his groceles, &c., instead of patronizing the business men of his home. He further said he could purchase goods, and go to church where he pleases. That's true; but don't advise any person* to do a thing that you wont do yourself. Oh, thou art a jewel I He also says that we failed to do justice toward encouraging the young people of Monroe, especially in the Children’s day exercises. Wealways have and always will encourage the young people of Monroe and elsewhere to do right, advise them to attend church, and exercises of all kinds at the proper time of having such, even if we do not attend ourselves, and always ready liberally to reward the religous societies with money and kindness of heart to aid in building up and promoting good society. For bad society we dislike evil doers, they are no good, hypocrites we detest, deceitful friends are the most dangerous jH'ople and ought to be banished from society as the worst pestilence on earth. SOiH OF VETERAN Tbc Seventh Annual EncampIn Session at Terre Haute, Ind. The Seventh Annual Encampment of the Indiana division of Sons of Veterans began last Wednesday morning at the opera house, with Commander McGuire, of Rising Sun, presiding. There were 350 delegates present from the 117 camps, and others are arriving to-night. 6 The Adjutant-General’s report shows a membership of 2,287, a falling off of 700 in the year. At noon a large number of the delegates went to the depot to meet ex-Governor Chase, jml in the afternoon Commander Johnson. G. A. R., who with It. M. Smock addressed the encampment at the afternoon session. At the campfire to-night addresses were made by Governor Matthews and Col. R. W. Thompson and others. William G. 1 oung, of Connersville, former Senior Vice-Com-mander, is a candidate against McGuire, of Rising Sun. for Commander. The ladies auxiliary aid society met with 100 present. Committees were appointed when the “daughters” heard ex-Governor Chase and Commander Johnson and then paid a visit to the “sons.” The candidates for President to succeed Miss I’earl Wills, of Glayton, are Miss Alice Koerner, of Indianapolis, and Miss Georgia Duncan. neal Estate Transfers, The following real estate transfers have been recorded since last week: 'Andrew Gottschalk et al to Amos Ilerschey, in-lot 143, Bernellooo 00 Elias Riesen to Rebecca Reisen, o' i sw K sec 22 tp 25 range 14 east.. 2500 00 William C.

Allen, in-lot 279, Geneva 100 00 Every line in a newspaper costs something. If it is for the benefit of an individual it should be paid for. If the grocer were asked to contribute groceries to one abundantly able to pay for them he would refuse. The publisher of a newspaper must pay for the free advertising if the beneficiary does not, and yet it is one of the hardest things to be learned by many that a newspaper has space in its columns to rent and must rent to live. To give away anything at less than living rates would be as certainly fatal as for the grocer to give away his groceries. c Stationery. The best ever offered at Yager Bro’s. Two farmers were heard not long since discussing their local paper. One thought it had too many advertisements in it. The other replied: “In my opinion the advertisements are far from being the least valuable part of it. I look them over carefully live times the cost of the paper each week through the business advantages I get from them. Said the other: “I believe you are right—l know that they pay me well and rather think it not good taste to find fault with the advertisement after all.” Those men have the right idea of the ■matter. It pays any man with a family to take a good local paper for the sake of the advertisements if nothing more, and if business men fail to give farmers a chance to read advertisements in a local paper,they are blind to their own interests, to say the least of it. "You have never invited me to your place’of business anil I never go where I'm not invited; 1 might not be welcome” was thereply. MARKETS. The following market report is corrected • very week by .1.
