Decatur Democrat, Volume 37, Number 49, Decatur, Adams County, 23 February 1894 — Page 8

■ n>att< * Amu’ hi n v 11 H widow Harry Knoff will always be held in grateful remembrance by his friends who so generously sup ported him in the late Primary Election. He is a Democrat of the Jeffersonian stripe. Root township nominated L.- W. Lewton for trustee, Frank McConnel for assessor and 11. D. Fuelling for Justice of the Peace. Prohibition Convention at the Court House March 6th, at 2 p. m. Hon. James P. Pinkham will ad dress the meeting. » Too much can’t be said of our orchestra. Our citizens may well feel proud of them as mucisians and citizens, regardless of the snub the Evening World gave them in its report of the Washington’s birthday exercises at the Court House. The World reporter, it seems, only saw one person there. This may seem strange to some people, for a reporter could fail to hear the opening address by Rev. Gregg, that strong, patriotic address of Rev. Vitz, the speeches and music of the school was equal to any that can be furnished. While we admired Mr. Spangler in his most exqeltent address, the Democrat believes in treating everyone fairly and honor ably- ——— We are glad to chronicle that Prof. A. D. Moffett has received a High School Commission from the State Board of Education. A commission is hard to get as the standard of excellence must be very high. Many schools in the State have lost their commission because the standard of scholarship has been raised. We congratulate Prof. Moffett upon his success and are exceedingly glad to know that our schools are considered first-class by the highest authorities in school affairs in our State. Josiah Crawford died at his home in Wabash township, Monday, February 19, at 8 p. m. after a lingering illness of several months. Mrs. Charles Tucker is prepared to do all kinds of washing; she will call for same; please call at her residence on 9, street. Monmonth Notes. Quite a number of children have the Whooping cough in this vicinity. Miss Ida Magley is improving very slow. Mont Evans beats any previous record on hogs. He having sold eight four-months-old pigs which averaged 142 pounds. Who can beat this? Frank Houk invented an ideal mouse trap, and if he can secure a patent on it, it .will make a fortune for him. Thieves broke into W. A. Fonner’s smoke haese Feb. 3rd or 4th and secured four elegant pieces of pork. The thief had a tender spot in his heart, for he took the smallest pieces. IMPORTANT NOTICE. Plies Cured at Home. I will be at the Miesse House Decaur, Monday afternoon, Marsh 5.

After the got about four miles from home one of their horses gave out. The boys did not know what to do, so they decided to go to Reuben Briners; they called Redben out and after the boys told him who they were and wheye they were from, then they slated the case and asked him for a horse; Mr- Briner told the boys that if they woutd return the horse before daylight they could have one, they thought they could not get back till daylight, so they went to George Hower’s and told the same story, after which George told them they could have a horse if they would return him before breakfast; the boys did not take the horse, but returned to the sled and were surprised to find the girls had gone, Melviu started out towards home at full speed, and after he;had ran about three miles down the road, he shouted “how far is it down the road?” The girls overheard him and waited till he came up. He told them to wait that the sled would be along soon, but they were so near home, they thought they would would walk the rest of the way. Now, girls, when you want a sleigh ride hereafter, you should call on the Magley boys. John Hower met with the . loss of his little dog which was struck and killed by the cars.
