Monroe Melange. E, Monroe has a growler, a great big grow lei E ha growl! at most anything. j» u Last Saturday night auothei tight occur f red al Monroe. A few nights ago J. I*. Johnson had a HLj'beef hide stolen, the prii e was so little It was Returned the next evening. 1 It Is reported that the telegraph office nt ■ Monroe will be removed and dispensed I With, leaving ils out in the wilderness. The postoffice of Salem (or Steele) has | been removed. Mr. Porter, the postmaster, under the new dispensation will deliver the mail nt his residence. While Mr. and Mrs, Henry Laughrey were attending the World’s Fair last week, some miscreant took possession ol their S' residence and slept in the beds, mussing J. things generally. Nothing stolen. No JI clew. Married, last Sunday. Oct. sth at 11 o’clock a. m., by V. U. Slmcoke, J- 1 ■■ at the residence of the bride s parents, two miles south of Monroe, Mr. William 1. Wisner to Miss Ida Martz, oldest daughtei of Mr. and Mrs- James- K. Martz, lheie were present 100 guests, the friends and associates of the bride and groom. Aftei ■L the many hand shakes and congratulations, dinner was announced, a more sumptuous t repast was never witnessed on Bacon F. Ridge. The multitude was well fed, and *ll passed oft pleasantly. We wish the bride and groom a long, happy and pros- ... pereus life, They will reside on his father's farm, south of Decatur. K Last Sunday afternoon, according to ap- £ pointment, the well-selected base ball team from Berne, Geneva, Ceyloifi Canada and 'Sr Buffalo, the Lord only knows where else &. came to Monroe to rush the Monroe Kazors ' pnt of existence, but was met with such ; unexpected resistance that they weie dumfounded and began to kick. Such : / "high kickers never struck the diamond, f after so muchkicking and disadvantages, [ \ the Razors came out victorious. 1 hey have ynot been defeated yet. and are ready to cope with the star leagues. Our boys have PX Jived on milk and honey long enough to \become gymnastics. For activity and /strengthnoneoan compete, they are tine ■ 'catchers, pitchers, runners and knockers, and a set of perfect gentlemen. — ■■ — L|un Grove Grist. David N.Eckrot, alate resident of Fort | Wayne has moved back in our midst. Peter Kizer is a close observer at the Great Fair thia week. Died, on Friday, October 6th. Mary A., daughter of Samuel Opliger, age 2 years. 9 months gnd 5 days. Also on Monday of cholera infantam, Francis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Crisman, age six months. The mother has been prostrated for the | past four weeks, the care of both mother and child has been solely on Mr. Crisman, and should have commanded more sympathy than that extended. Peter Fox moved out of town on Tuesday into his new and commodious residence on his farm one mile east of town. L. L. Dunbar, William Wechter and Andrew J. French left for the bear pits of Arkansas. They expect to jerk the wild meat of the bear state in large quantities. Their equipage was second to none. Os course the artist must also display his skill on their caravan, and his productions were: “On the dash a huge wild boar, on the run ' on one side a monster serpent to which was added, No. 13. On the other side the lamentable motto: To Arkansas or Bust.” The • profuse decorations so elated Wechter that he forgot his gun, but he will surely think of it before he meets Bruin face to face. All in all, they were a jolly band, and should they fail to have fun in plenty, it will be no fault of theirs. Henry Bresdorf accompanied them to St. Louis, enroute to Indian Territory in view of locating a home. Monmouth Notes. Rev. D. F. Kain will preach at Concord next Sunday at three o’clock p. in. The Y. P. S. C, E’s. have changed their time of meeting. They will meet just after Sunday school hereafter. Mrs. James Gilson is spending part of the week with Mrs. Jacob Fonner and fam- ■ ily ’ James Smith and Anes Lord have accepted positions with Mr. Adair as log rollers. The schools of Monmouth are in a nourishing condition. C. D. Lewton is on the sick list. The Monmouth boys met the Union township boys on their grounds last Saturday and defeated them bv a score of 34 to 20. The tough-skinned Union boys tried hard to beat our boys by taking them in a thistle patch which had been cultivated for that purpose, but our boys made sure to alight on their basemen and thus avoid the thistles. Hunt another thistle patch, boys, but be sure to have your backs half soled before the game is called. John Wolford and C. D. Kunkle are still on the hunt of dogs. So bring on your dogs. No matter what breed. The second game between the Monmouth and Union township boys will take place next Saturday at Monmouth. Everybody is invited to come out and enjoy the sport. !

Vince Pease contemplates moving near the Mt. Zion church in the near future. We have learned that a certain young lady of Monroe has changed her name from Miss Ella Hendricks to Mrs. Ella Graham. She tells her friends that she enjoys being called Mrs. Graham. The Democrat wishes Mr. and Mrs. Graham all fne happiness and success they can enjoy. Every one seems to enjoy good health in our part of the Country. This speaks a good word for our neighborhood. Misses Laura and Lpcy Hendricks, of Decatur, gave Miss Bell and Addie Barnett a pleasant call on last Sabbath. Mrs. Sam Johnson is slowly improving. Where are the Trustees of the Kay cemetery? If the cemetery has any Trustees, why not take hold of the work and attend to the bridge and fence matter? If not, let us set a day and raise money and repair the bridge and fence. Next week we’ll name the day.

A year ago to-day the best steers were selling at 85.10 and the bulk of the beef cattle of 1,000 to 2,200 pounds $(3.05 to 4.00. We were getting ¥5.90 for the best porkers and $6.00 for tops of the medium and packers’grades of hogs a year ago, and selling pigs at $5.65 to 5.7,5. The New England Dressed Beef and Mutton Uo, were operating a year ago the 15th ol this month, but have not put m an appearance yet this year. It will probably be close to December first before they commence slaughtering anything this year. As they kill liberal quantities of sheep and lambs it is quite an item to the local trade. Canada lambs were running.heavy a year ago this week. Monday a ago year this week 35 cars were on, sale, Tuesday 18 cars, Wednesday 12 cars, 11 cars on Thursday, 15 cars on Friday and 14 cars on Saturday, 105 cars for the week, whereas we have had less than 25 cars all told, while the best Canada lambs sold-al? $6.25 a year ago and $5725" is the top price tor anything choice this year. No wonder our Canadian shippers are 'discouraged, and are holding back their stock.—Daily Mercantile Review, Saturday, October, 7, 1893. \
