Miss Grace Peterson left Monday morning for Cleveland. Ohio, where she will spend several days in a wholesale millinary establishment, posting herself on the styles of ladies hats for the coming season. Miss Delila Hoffman has accepted a position as saleslady in the Kern, Brittson & Beeler shoe store. Miss Hoffman has been teaching in Hartford township, having resigned her work to accept her present position. Oscar Hoffman will complete the school term in her place. DeVilbiss & Archbold, the dentists, have added a Columbia electric dental engine to their already handsomely furnished and equipped parlors. The engine is a perfect one and is of untold aid and benefit in the dental business. The engine is composed of a storage battery located just back of the operating chair, while the motor is suspended in mid-air by a braided cord. The addition is an excellent one and goes a great way to show that these gentlemen thoroughly understand their business and that they are to be out-done by no one in their profession.

Sol Billman, one of Decatur’s respected citizens is reported as being dangerously sick at his home onMadison street, with a complication of diseases. A daughter of Mr. Billman is also quite sick.

As seen by a notice elsewhere in this issue the Old Adams County Bank and the Decatur National Bank will on and after March 1, open for business at 8:30 o’clock a. m. and close at 8:30 p. m., except on Saturdays, when they will close at 4 p. m. The bowling contest, Bluffton vs Decatur, which was to have taken place at Warren last Thursday, was indefinitely postponed on account of the extremely cold weather. The Bluffton boys played Warren the same evening and defeated them. What came near ending in a real fight instead of a legal battle occurred in the court room Tuesday afternoon, when Attorney Hammond was examining one of the witnesses in the railway case on trial there. It seems the attorney said something to the witness which that gentleman did not like very well and he immediately announced his intention of whipping the lawyer. Both parties were finally subdued without any serious results. Dangers of the grip. The greatest danger from lagrippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy taken, all danger will lie avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for lagrippe we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia which showsconclusively that this remedy is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure lagrippe in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. f Elmer J. Ray will offer for sale at his residence one mile south and a half west of Monroe and five miles north of Berne, on Tuesday, Feb. 28, 1899, the following personal property, to-wit: Six horses, seven head of cattle, two of which are milch cows; one will be fresh in June, Jersey heifer, will be fresh in April, steer calf, three fall calves, nine sows, Berkshire boar, for-ty-two shoats, chickens, three stands of bees, Milwaukee binder, Osborne binder, self-rake, reaper, mower, twohorse wagon, spring wagon, double harness, hay ladders, hay rake, plows, harrows, cultivator, hay in mow and fodder in field. Also 3-5 of twenty-two acres of wheat in the field. A credit of nine months will be given on all sums over five dollars. Grip Treatment. Grip can be broken up in from one to three days by the prompt use of Downs’ Elixir. It has done it. It will do it. Try it before pneumonia or consumption sets in. After grip, Baxter’s Mandrake Bitters are nature's remedy for expelling all grip poisons from the blood, regulate the bowels, strengthening the nerves and imparting vigor to the system. With these long-tried remedies at hand, the worst case of grip can be conquered. We sell them and guarantee them to do as recommended, or money refunded. Page Blackburn. f
