These two cases were remarkable, as they were identically alike and occurred on the same day. Both men are improving rapidly, and although the injuries are not serious, they are nevertheless painful. Monroe had quite an attraction Monday morning about 8 o’clocw, when our tonsorial artist, Herbert Parrish, discovered near the Burk elevator what he supposed to be a big rat.

Among them was Oliver Hendricks, who has for some time been losing a number of chickens, and as the weasel was killed near his chicken park it is supposed that this was the cause of his loss of chickens. Someone suggested that Mr. Hendricks pay Parrish a bounty for his services, but the former stated that he would if Parrish would prove to him that the animal did the Work. Mr. Parrish will keep tab from now on as to whether there will be any more of the former’s chickens missing, so as to claim the bounty. A deal was closed yesterday whereby Dr. M. F. Parrish becomes the owner of a fine corner lot purchased from E. W. Johnson. The deal has been on for some time. Mr. Parrish will ' begin the erection of a modern and up-to-date house at once, which, will be a credit to the doctor &s well as to Monroe. The house will have all the modern improvements and conveniences. It will contain six rooms and be a two-story frame. If Monroe had , a few more such hustling business men she would come to the front in a ' very short time. ’ Willis Van Camp of Decatur will ’ coriimence his duties as miller at the ( Monroe Grain, Hay & Milling company’s plant next Monday morning, when they will again be ready to do your grinding. Mr. Van Camp needs no recommendation to pur people, as he is well and favorable known here and in the surrounding country as a No. 1 miller, having had many years’ experience, and is a master in his profession. The manager, Josie Rich, invites all to call when needing anything in the flour and feed line. A force of carpenters is at work putting on the finishing touches to the hardware building of the Lichty Bros, and Co’s store, which will be completed within a few days. Owing to the large trade which this firm has had this season in the implement line they will not be ready to display their Urge and fine stock of hardware to the ■public th their new room before the first day of August. Watch for later announcements as to their grand opening. Misses Harriet Mayer and Anna Smith are visiting with relatives at Farmland and Gaston. They will be absent about two weeks. Section Foreman Harwick and his force of men, while mowing the right-of-way of the G. R. & I. south of Monroe, came across a blue racer snake about five feet long, which gave them quite a fight. The snake was quickly dispatched by one of the men. John Andrews,- the horseman; reports that one of his young chickens had swallowed a snake which ht thought to be about six or seven inches long. So far he says he has noticed no material change in the condition of the chicken. The snake was of the garter variety. <., Marion Oliver and Joe < Johnson were business visitors at Fort Wayne today. Mrs. William Scherer, who was operated upon a few weks ago at the St. Joseph hospital at Fort Wayne, was quite sick Tuesday, but is somewhat I improved, today. • : »■
