While at Decatur Monday afternoon Mont Evans was suddenly stricken with paralysis. He was brought home and it is now thought he wiil soon recover. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the entertainment at Wil liams school house Saturday evening was poorly patronized. The same will be repeated in the near future.

her home at Oden last week. The smallest things may avert the greatest influence. DeWitt’s Early Risers are unequalled for overcoming constipation and liver troubles.

He reports plenty of snow in that section. Alpha thinks there is no place like home. Samuel J. Martz is again a resident of “Old Adams." having returned from Arkansas last week. Sam says there were too many chilly shakes out there to suit him. Married—Saturday evening. Jan. 7. at the home of James Hendricks. Rev. T. P. Harris and Mrs. Emily Valentine.

Pleasant Valley Literary Society elected officers for the ensuing month as follows: Elmore Cook, President; Koy Gould, Vice-pres.; Mary Martz, Secretary; Harvey Lamminan. Assistant sec’y; John Durbin, Treasurer; William Herron, Marshal. The meetings are held every Friday evening to which all are invited. Lagrippe is again epidemic. Every precaution should be taken to avoid it. Its specific cure is One Minute Cough Cure. A. J. Shepherd, publisher Agricultural Journal and Advertiser, Elden, Mo., says: "No one will be disap]>ointed in using One Minute Cough Cure for lagrippe.'’ Pleasant to take, quick to act. Page Blackburn.

Pleasant Hills. The saw mill is again in operation. Quite a number are on the sick list with symptoms of lagrippe. Wm. Hill went to Winchester the first of the week on legal business It is reported that the streets of this place will soon be graced with a new sidewalk. Edward Cordua contemplates renting his farm and moving to Decatur in the spring. Otto Martz and wife have again moved to town and will occupy the house- they vacated last fall. It is an old, true saying, that every dog has his day; but Earl Cowan thinks he had about two days last week. Two fights occurred on our streets last week, in which three of our wouldbe voting men from the country figured. The funeral of Samuel Barto occurred at the M. E. church ednesday of last week. His remains were laid to rest in the Pleasant Mills cemetery. The little son of Albert Boner, whose eves have been in a critical condition for the past five months, is not improving very much. He is still unable to distinguish any objects. Coughing injures and inflames sore lungs. One Minute Cough Cure loosens the cold, allays coughing and heals quickly. The best cough cure for children, perfectly harmless. Page Blackburn. Linn Gro\e. Edward Neuenschwander and wife are visiting’ Mrs. N. Parrents at Beaver Dam, Ohio. Bert Heller is becoming skillful in enlarging and copving portraits. Some specimens were presented to our view that would warrant progress. The death of Solomon Mosser occurred at his residence two and onehalf miles south of hereon Monday afternoon. He was buried from his residence Wednesday forenoon. Pneumonia was the cause of his death. The following persons will build barns the coming season: Celestine Dolt, Fred Reffee, Richard Hunt, John Synder. Samuel Egley. Abram Bierie and Benjamin Moyer. The latter will lie 40x83 feet in size. John Hirschy will also build a dwelling house. Our teachers and scholars are disagreeing on the following problem :i A charged cannon is placed on the rear end of a train which is running at a speed of thirty miles per hour and at a given point the ball is discharged from the gun in an opposite direction at a like speed of the moving train. What will be the distance

between the missile and the train a , the close of one hour? An exchange of ideas are solicited. Mr. S. A. Fackler, editor of the Mi crnopv ( Fla. I Hustler, with Ins wife; and children, suffered ternblv from lagrippe. One Minute Cough ( uro was the only remedy that helped them. It acted quickly. Thousands of oth- [ ers use this remedy as a specific tor lagrippe. and its exhausting afteret feets. Never fails. Page Blackburn. In relation to the mysterious death of Edmond Harran we request the following correction to the Democrat s article of last week: Harran had worked for Frank Heller at the dose' of 1897. at which time he went away and did not return until Saturday. January 7, during the night of which he met his deplorable fate, and consequently had not been rooming with another laborer over Runyon’s saloon. The person occupying said room as stated was supposed to carry some money, however, several hundred dollars less than the stated thousand. That the victim was taken for this person is a probability. The following letter has been re ceived from a sister of Edmond Harran. a description of whose tragic ending was given last week: "Cincin nati. Ohio. January 13. 1899. Peter Hoffman, Esq: My husband had just written to you for particulars of my brother’s death, when we received your kind and sympathetic letter. The details of my brother's death are most harrowing; what a fatal mistake not to go home with Frank Heller. The reporters are at the house trying to get news for their papers. It is comforting to know if you are interviewed that you speak well of my poor brother and say his was a quiet, peaceable life. His mother is seventyseven years old and it would be death to her if more harrowing articles were published. What has been published has been the theory of your coroner. I hope the blessings of God will be with you always for your kindess to my poor, unfortunate brother. Will you kindly endorse all letters or papers and send in a box by mail and I shall remit postage. Please give none of the letters to newspaper men. j by so doing you will confer a favor I: shall never forget. Let me know, please, if any of the contents of his pockets have left your hands. He re- j ceived a registered letter containing five dollars on Saturday morning; I received the return card signed by I him on Monday, the day he died. I shall send you a postal note for the J expenses next week. My brother was buried to lay. God bless you is my fervent prayer. Respectfully, Ella C. 0. Donnell, 1526 Linge Street. Case and observation cars. Excel-; lent service on superb through trains. Queen & Crescent Route from Cincin- , nati south.
