A large number of horses will be sold, and they are being bought fast, from which we may infer that the animals are being secured near a reasonable figure. Good prices are being given for the stock here and whoever offered a horse at this sale has had no , regrets to express. The next sale will be held on Thursday April 27th,and will no doubt be as largely attended as the present one. Over two hundred horses changed hands at this sale and a special effort will be made to secure the banner lot of the season for the next sale. o WAS NO PLACE FOR THE EDITOR. An editor died and slowly wended his way to where he supposed a warm reception awaited him. The devil saw him and said: "For many years thou hast borne the blame for the manyerrors the printer made in the paper. The paper has gone. alas, for $1 and the $1 has failed to come in. The printers have deviled thee on Saturday night for wages when thou hadst not a cent to thy name. Men have taken the paper without paying for it and cursed thee for not getting out a better. Thou hast been called a dead beat by passenger conductors when thou hadst shown thy annual pass to envious gaze. All this thou hast borne in silence. Thou canst not come in here. (And he fired him.) Heaven is his home; and besides, if we let him in he will continually dun delinquent subscribers, for our habitation is full of them, and thus create disorder in my kingdom.”—Ex. o Though somewhat belated, the word which just reached this city regarding the death of John Shirey, a former well known Decatur citizen, and well known to the present, older residents ■ of the city, will be of much interest to his many friends here, who, will, however, hear with regret of his passing away. The word came Thursday to Attorney J. C. Sutton from Mr. Shirey's daughter, Mrs. Laura Jeleff Breckenridge, of Denver, Colo., and stated that Mr. Shirey had died March 7th at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Harvey Hart, at Carleton, Mo. Mr. Shirey had reached the very ripe old age of eighty-nine years, and his passing away was due to the infirmities of old age. For manyyears, prior to going with his daughter to the southwest, he lived in this city and was ene of the pioneers of Decatur. His daughter, Mrs. Breckenridge, was a former resident of this city, being the wife of the late Dr. Jeleff o FEAST OF THE PASSOVER. Beginning Wednesday night at sun down was the Feast of the Jewish Passover, celebrated for eight days by the orthodox Jews, but seven by oth ers. This commemorates the deliverance of the race from Egyptian bond age and during this time no leavened bread is used. It is observed by the reading of the passages of Scripture relating to the deliverance and other things connected therewith, and with other appropriate ceremony. o — SAVED HIS MOTHER’S LIFE. “Four doctors had given me up," writes Mrs. Laura Gaines of Avoca, La., “and my children and all my friends were looking for me to die. when my son Insisted that I use Electric Bitters. I did so, and they have done me a world of good. I will always praise them.” Electric Bitters is a priceless blessing to women troubled with fainting and dizzy spells, backache, headache, weakness, debility, constipation or kidney disorders.

Ohio, has been here during the past week looking up old acquaintances. While here she was the guest of Mr. and Mrs William Scherer and numerous other friends. This is the first visit of Mrs. Wert to Monroe in 25 years and she was greatly surprised to find I the town such a hustling and greatly improved place. Mrs. Wert left for | her home Thursday. Owing to a misunderstanding in the dates, Dr. W. T. Culp arrived here on the one o’clock train, but matters were soon explained and he left on the . three o’clock train for Cleveland. O. Mr. Culp had the pleasure of meeting many of Monroe’s citizens and made a good impression w-ith those he met.

As may be seen from the sixty-inch 'advertisement in another part of today’s issud, the Schafer Hardware ■company, will next Saturday have an- ' other of their famous auction sales. Several years ago this company inaugurated these sales, and they have i proven a good thing for every one concerned. In the first place the I company likes them because It allows | them to turn their good quickly, even at small profits; the buyer likes • them because he long ago realized the | bargains he could secure when he bought at his own price; the other i merchants, the restaurant men and all 1 the business men of Decatur like them because the Schafer company does such extensive advertising that they bring to town large crowds, who deal everywhere. This “up-on-your- , toes” way of doing business, while strenuous, is after all the way the man does who gets there and this is ! the secret of the success of many. The • Schafer company is just now entering ■ upon their thirty-eighth year in the ■ hardware business in Decatur. They ■ ate known ail over this and adjoining counties and the immense business they do is absolute proof and . guarantee that they have always been . honest and square in their dealings. ! and have built on the sure foundation J that assures that growth. In addition to the line of buggies, harness and machinery offered at this sale, they will also put up a bunch of live stock, including horses, cows and calves. , The sale is next Saturday, beginning at 10 o’clock a. m„ with Fred Rep- . pert and John Spuller as the auctioneers.
