She was about fifty years of age. The hopes for a new county infirmary have for the time being gone glimmering, all the bids opened last Thursday, being in excess of the appropriation, and as a matter of fact, were rejected. This certainly relieves the board of commissioners of a great deal of responsiblity, but nevertheless the fact still stands out in bold relief, that an infirmary building is needed, and badly at that. The bids filed were Linn & Patten $30,601.83; W. H. Maxwell $27,381; J. L. Shetterly $26,757, and H. F. Rumps .$26,000. Story of a Slave.

This miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run-down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents. Sold by Page Blackburn, druggist.

Tuesday evening Mesdatnes L. Luttman and D. C. Wagoner.of Monmouth, entertained in honor of the Misses Lulu and Myrtle Rice, of Goodland, Indiana, and reports record it as the shining event of the season, in which refreshments, dancing and music were the leading spirits of amusement. In addition to a classical selection by L. N. GrandstafT, choruses wen* rend ered by D. M. and M. F. Rice, Gus and John Christen. It was a social function that was greatly enjoyed by those present.

The evening wassjient in gamesand music. At eleven o'clock a dainty two course luncheon was served after which the guests departed declaring that they had never been so royally entertained. Mrs. L.

John Maffet of Conant, Ohio was here the first of the week agitating the boring for oil. He is a practical driller and is willing to take stock in the enterprise and do the drilling at regular prices for this kind of work. He said his experience at the business lead him to beleive that an oil field could be developed here, and that he would stake his reputation of his view of it. Nothing was done toward bringing the matter to a focus, and perhaps will not be for the present. Nevertheless, it is a subject worthy of consideration. A contract has been let to Suttles & Weaver for the erection of an addition to the Big Store. The new building is to be a one story frame apartment. sheeted with metal, and will be used as an addition and wareroom to the grocery department. The room will be 22x50 feet and will lie built west of the shoe department, entirely covering the vacant space left there when the large building was constructed. The wutk of excavating will begin this week and the new room will probably be ready so occupancy within thirty days provided the mater ial can be obtained. Last Sunday at his beautiful country home near Pleasant Mills Ezra Mcßarnes was reminded by a party of Decatur friends that he had lived just forty six years. His “better half" who had known of their coming had prepared an excellent dinner of roast turkey and all other substantial eatables which Decatur people enjoy. Those present from the city were Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Mcßarnes, (3eo. Kern and wife. David Buckmaster and family and D. B. Erwin and familv. An enjoyable time was had and all present pronounce Mr. and Mrs. McBarnes royal entertainers. The Chillicothe Record has the folk ving to say of the Graham Earle Company to be held at the Bosse opera house all next week: “The Alamo,” is the title of the bill given by the Graham Earle Company at the Luella Wednesday night. The play was entitled to a much larger audience than attended and was the l>est given this week. It was written by Mr. Earle who creditably takes the leading part and shows much dramatic ability. The lines are clever and gives' opportunities for interesting situations which are neatly brought out by this excellent company. Mr. and Mrs. Earle were again the favorites and received frequent and merited applause. The cast as a whole was good. The specialties by the Thompson sisters was one of the features of the evening. Tonight the bill is ‘ The Widow and the Fool," a very laughable farce comedy. Owing to the very hot weather Mr. Earle has reduced the prices to 10 and 20 cents. Ladies will be admitted free on Monday night when accompanied by one paid ticket. •

Says an exchange: Somebody says j that onions eaten just before retiring ' are a great help to digestion. We ' tried it and about two o’clock dreamed I that a fiery-red dragon with a pea- ' grean tail and eyes as big as soup 1 plates was carving us up with a meat ' saw and a sword. We finally awoke to find our good wife fanning us with a lied slat and trying to get the baby out of the coal scuttle, where we put it to keep the fiery dragon from getttingit. Away, onions! Give us prunes! ImportajH Notice. fifil-/ ' PILES CURED AT HOME. I WILL BE AT DECATVR, Monday afternoon, Aug. 20, and forenoon. Aug. 21. BERNE, Cottage Hotel, afternoon of August 21.
