HUG The Unclean Swine. The Monroeites heve come to the conclusion that the man who sai<l that “All Flesh is Grass.” may not have known that they have a farmer in their township near Monroe who does not •wait for the grass to grow, but proceeds to feed his hogs and chickens on flesh He up all the old broken-down horses that he can buy cheap and then kills them and feeds the meat to his hogs and chickens and by such feeding turns out some tine porkers for the good people of this county to satisfy their carniverous appetites on and make the fine sausage that we find coming to our table with bologna and wienewurst on the side, besides the tine lard that is produced by the feeding of meat to bis hogs. The people of Monroe say that they would not care so much but he buys diseased horses and uses them the same as though they ’ were sound and in good shape They talk of having the matter investigated at once. Our reporter says that at least fifteen head of horses have been slaughtered there within a few weeks past and that while the price of horses continues so low, the work will go on at the same rate. Some horses were bought as low as one dollar, while the price ranged upward to seven dollars We have a class of citizens who say they would not eat horse meat, but when they eat the hog fattened on horse meat, they come along that way and eat the samerunknown. MARRIED. . At the parlors of the residence of Father Wilken on Wednesday evening, the marriage of Miss Emma Starost and Mr. Henry Schulte was solemized by Father Wilken. * . The bride is one of Decatur's fair young ladies and looked very charming in her beautiful gown of canary henri- . ettta trimmed in lace, while her maids Miss Tina Smith who was attired in Taffeta silk and Miss Ella Touhey who was gowned in de soi moussillene, pre sented a very beautiful appearance Trie groom and his attendants Messrs. John Mougey and Robert Ehingerwore the conventional black suits. . The groom is the junior member otthe firm of Peter Holtbous & Go., the clothiers, ot our city, and a successful young business man who for the most of the winter past has been in charge of the branch house.of the company at Geneva. The groom having prepared a home for them on sth street, tney repaired there immediately after the ceremony where a reception was tenderd them by their friends. The young couple start out with the best wishes of their friends, and the congratulations of the Democrat. COMMUNICATED. Pleasant Valley, April 16, 1895. Ed. Democrat:—We are not familiar enough with corresponding to newspapers, but would ask a short space'’ iu your columns, if you please, to inform the public of what is done, and has been done among the good citizens of what is known as Pleasant Valley, where there is a good church house,also a very fine country school house, No. J, in Monroe township, Chas. Simcoke taught school the past winter in said school house, and had a good attendance, and the school was taught beyond the expectations of many of the patrons of the school on account of his youthful age. Friday of last week was the close of the let m, the teacher bad prepared a program of exercises for the pupils, while the patrons concluded to join in and have a grand and glorious dinner which was a grand sue, cess; also the evening entertainment was a success. Os course the teacher met with some.opposition, from a young fellew who purports or styles himself.a preacher, wltc came in the neighborhood an entire stranger without any reccommondation as" tc character, worthiness as a minister of the gospel. This same styled minister did, jvt think, through his very moral suaison in fluence one fady pupil to quit the schoo on account of the entertainment being tor worldly , but sgid unworldly man did comt to-the grand feast and partook with rnuci relish thereof, then afterwards went out ot diamond field and umpired a game of basi ball, disputing with bovs on fouls, e'e Oh! how moral indeed, and unworldly bi must be. The general public measure: every man’s Conduct by the strict law o propriety, and accredits him with so mucl intelligence and. refinement as his manner display no more and happily no lefts. Jt i not enough that we know ourselves to b above reproach,- we must take care that th stranger who observes us get ro hn piessimi to the contrary. Hoping hov evr, he may prove himself to b a’ differ entcharae rto the Valley people tlia what we expe t. Time will tell mi tlies things. Selah.
