Miss Ann Durkins tin employee at Corbetts cigar factory lost a breast pin several days ago which | she prized very highly and a liberal reward is offered if the lost article is returned to its owner. The intials A. D. were engraved on the pin. Elaborate arrangements are being made for the Old settlers reunion of Jay and Randolph counties to be held at Ridgeville on September, 9th. Among the attractions which are being advertised in a glaring manner are speeches by Senator Beveridge and Govenor Durbin, two brass bands and various other amusements for the pleasure loving public. Quite a number from this county will no doubt attend. There is hardly’ any way in which a person can do so much for his own locality, with so little cost and at the same time with so much benefit to himself and his family, says the Bay City News, as by giving a hearty support to his local paper. A newspaper with evidence of substantial support in its pages speaks volumes for a town. The fact that every trade seeker has (

an advertisement in it impresses strangers. If a stranger offers to trade you a good horse for a bad one and asks a i little monev to boot, beware of him, ' for you may be sorry afterwards. The ' present day horse thief does not try I to sell what he steals direct for the deal excites suspicion, but when you trade and he gives you the best of it the appearance make you believe that the fellow did not understand his : business. He does, however, and I after receiving a little cash money quits the place. The wedding of Miss Della Baugh- ■ man and Earnest M eaver two popular young people of this city | has been announced to take place on the evening of August 20, at the brides home on Eighth street, j Both the bride and groom to be are | highly respected and have the best ■ wishes of their many friends. | Miss Baughman is the daughter of I ’Squire and Mrs. William Baughman ; and the groom is the son of Isaac ' Weaver who lives on the Ellsworth 1 farm south of this city. Mr. and ': Mrs. Weaver will reside in this city. > We are in receipt of the cata- '

To many who are familiar with the slow running gasoline engine it seems impossible for an automobile to carry an eight or twelve horse power engine. The fact is that the automobile engine is only about one-fourth as large as the ordinary gasoline engine but it makes up its power by fast running. For Trade—l have at my farm, two miles west of Monroe, a full blooded, registered, short horn bull, two years old and as good an animal as can be found anyw’here, that I would like to trade for another short horn bull. Stockmen will understand why. Call on or address, J. B. Carson, Decatur, Ind., R. R. No. 2. 21-3 g Suicide Prevented. The startling an’ nouncement that a preventntive of suicide had been discovered will interest many. A run down system, or despondency invariably precede suicide and something has been found that will prevent that condition which makes suicide likely. At the first thoughtof self destruction take Electric Bitters. It being a great nervine will strengthen the nerves and build up the system. It's also a great stomach, liver and kidney regulator. Only 50c. Satisfaction guaranteed by Blackburn Druggists, a Among the questions recently sent out by a county superintendent of

schools in a neighboring county, was the following question in arithmetic: ‘‘lf one horse can run a mile in one minute, fifty seconds, and another in two : minutes, how far would the first j horse be ahead in a match race of two miles?" The scholar returned the question with this attached: “I will have nothing to do with horse racing.” Not over-wise. There is an old allI egorical picture of a girl scared at a grass-hopper, but in the act of heedlessly treading on a snake. This is paralleled by the man who spends a large sum of money for building a cyclone cellar, but neglect to provide his family with a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a safeguard againt bowel complaints whose victims outnumber those of the cyclone a hundred to one. This remedy is every where recognized as ths most prompt and reliable medicine in use for these diseases. For sale by Holthouse Drug Co. a Miss Rose Martin entertained twenty five of her friends at a dinner Wednesday. The guests assembled at Miss Martin’s home at six o’clock and at six thirty a dinner was served. The table was burdened with tempting delicacies and none present were averse to disposing of them. After dinner various games and contests furnished amseument for the guests. The guests of honor were the Misses May and Anna Oberman of Cincinnati. Dysentrey cured without the aid of a doctor. “I am just up from a hard spell of the flux” (dysentery) says Mr. T. A. Pinner, a well known merchant of Drummond, Tenn. “I used one, small bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and was cured without having a doctor. I ccc .ni.er it the best cholera medicine in the world.” There is do need' of employing a doctor when this remedy is used, for no doctor can preI scribe a better medicine for bowel ' complaint in any form either for childI ren or adults. It never fails and is easy to take. For sale by Holthouse Drug Co. a
