Our reporter overheard (Dr. Boyers ,say that if it was not for jhis family he would likejto organize a regimentland go and whip Turkey. Doctor, have you forgotten that a few short years ago many of the men that went to the front in 1861 had thought about the welfare of their families this county would not be where it is today—a free county to all regardless of class, politics, or religion;—Decatur Journal. The above article was taken from last week’s issue of the Deca tur Journal, and it would take a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out its true meaning. If it is meant for an attack upon the patriotism of Dr. Boyers, it comes far from hitting the mark. The doctor is too well known in this community for people to pay any attention to such an uncalled for article:. I A Brownie party is quite the latest thing in social gatherings for the small lads and lassies who desire lo entertain their numerous friends and acquaintances. The invitations are® neatly written on creamy note paper which has brownies engraved on it. The little folks appear in quaint brownie costumes, and the scene makes one think he is in fairyland.- A clever dance, in which all the brownie guests participate, is very entertaining. Following this there should be some ’’magic-lantern views of Palmer Cox’s brownies and their peculiar and amusing antics. The simple but dainty menu may consist of chocolate with whipped, cream, small glass of milk, lemonade, a variety of sandwiches cut in diamonds, hearts, triangles, and squares, or simply rolled and tied with baby ribbions in different colors, salad eggs, orange baskets cut with a penknife from oranges and filled with lemon or orange jelley, simple little cakes baked in fancy shapes, and ices, the later being molded in the form of brownies The souvenirs which are to be given each child in memory of the occasion are cunning little cups and 1 saucers decorated with brownies. 1 The house should be prettily decorated with blossoms and trailing vines. The invitations should be ’ for from four to eight p. m.—From 1 “Suggestions for children’s Parties” in Demorest’s Magazine for January. I ' The following resolution was unanimously adopted at the G.

J’erhaps it is, and that is the reason some folks endeavor to keep it a secret. But, nevertheless the intended secret will be revealed at last. Such was the case with John Myers and Miss Mary E. Merriman, who were united in tbe bonds of matrimonial bliss on Sunday morning at the home of the bride’s parents who reside at Steele, Indiana. Although this event has transpired, still another mystery remains to be solved by tffe people of this vicinity. It has been announced that Rev. Gregg will administer a very eloquent and interesting* 1 discourse at said place next Sabbath and the majority of the people think that the-Rev. Gregg has more “gumption” than to come so far the mud unless he has other business to attend to. It has been reported that the daughter of the ex-re-corder called on Mr. Gregg while in town a few days ago, and as a young gentleipan from the eastern part of Ohio wflKxisiG tier ere Sunday morning’s sun shall rise, nothing else but a wedding cap be expected. » '’\”y —~ e— ' lou can get two of the largest and best loaves of bread in Decatur for 5e at the Union Bakerv. d3Qstfw43tf Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder

Jenkins, editor of the Santa Maria Times, California, in speaking of the various ailments of children said: “When my children have croup there is only one patent medicine that 1 ever use, and that is Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It possesses some medical properties that relieve the little sufferers immediately. It is, in my opinion, the best cough medicine in.lhe market.” If this remedy is freely .given as soon as the croupy cough appears it will prevent the attack. It is also au ideal remedy for whooping ccugh. There is no danger in giving it to children, as it contains nothing injurious.

!Wr«. Zachariaa, of Cincinnati »ay« Pretzinger’a t» a God-Mend. Last September M rs. Zacharias, who resides at 911 Everett St., Cincinnati, saw an advertisement in tbe morning paper, and being m despair over a catarrh in the head that failed to get well, bought a jar of Pretzlnger’s Catarrh Balm for fifty cents, and says she feels better than she has for many years She uses it constantly in her family for curing coldi in the head and her own chronic case of catarrh has been entire* ly cured. “Since using it I feel like a new woman; it is a God send to all catarrh sufferers.” On November 12lh she writes again and savs “My eldest boy was suffering very much with catarrh inflammation of the ears which were almost entirely closed by swelling. I tried your Balm and the inflammatory symptoms have entirely disappeared and he is entirely well. I find that Pretzinger’s Catarrh Balm stops my earache a>most Immediately. Any reader of this paper who will purchase a jar will be convinced of tbe virtue it possesses.” Light cases of catarrh and colds in tbe head and where the passages are choked with mucous, yield instantaneously to this treatment. The delicate aroma of the camphors makes it a delightful remedy to use. A small sample will be sent by Bret zinger Bros., chemists, Dayton, 0., on receipt of a two-cent stamfi. Sale.
