Ford Demonstration Next Week.

John M. Knapp, the Ford agent, has arranged to have a Ford demonstration all next week, showing a cutaway chassis, and all working parts of the Ford. The location of the room where the demonstration will take place will be announced later. All are cordially invited to call. John Biggs, of Wheatfleld, has sold his farm and will move to Wheatfleld. He will hold a publip sale on Tuesday, February 21st. * Over one mile of the finest embroideries and insertion to be sold at the Ransford Dept. Store on Feb. 3rd, for 10c per yard. No limit; buy all you want. 5,000 ya*ds of the very finest embroidery and insertion to be sold at 10c per yard at the Ransford Dept. Store, February 3rd. No limit. Sale Starts at 8:00 o’clock. Mrs. Harry Folk accompanied her husbaqd to Kentland to remain durnig the week. Judge Hanley, who has had a siege of the grip, went to Kentland also, but he was feeling far from well. Don’t miss getting some of those bargains in embroidery and insertion at the Ransford Dept. Store on February 3rd. All of it is worth from 25c to 75c per yard; 6,000 yards to be sold for 10c per yard. “JVly child was burned terribly about the face, neck and chest. I applied Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Oil. The pain ceased and the child sank into a restful sleep.”—Mrs. Nancy M. Hanson Hamburg, N. Y. The Lewin horses were released this morning by Sheriff Hoover, the costs were all paid and the stock was started back to Hurbert, Porter county, this afternoon, where the public sale will take place as provided foin the agreement between Mrs. Haskins and John Lewin. Over in White county stock prices are as high or even higher than they were last year, and persons who are to hold sales in Jasper county will doubtless receive better prices the balance of the sale season. The Journal speaks of one sale last week where hogs averaged $32 and where yearling brood sows went as high as ssl each. The best cows brought SBO, spring calves S2O, sheep $9.05. One sow that sold for $42 had eight pigs that brought S2OO. At another sale sheep brought $10.75 per head, cows $75, one horse brought $436 and another $225. G. L. Thornton, the Surrey merchant, whose deal with Harry Cook did not terminate in the sale of the store, has been in Kansas for the past two weeks, visiting old friends at Greenßburg, where he iived for some time several years ago. Mrs. Thornton has been visiting for the past month at Oshkosh, Wls., and returned home last night. She says that cold weather has been the rule at Oshkosh, with the temperature daily reaching 12 to 15 degrees below zero and lots of snow. She said she felt just like she had returned from a trip to the north pole when she found it so warm here. L. D. Boyd came over from Delphi this morning to look after the interests of a client. Mr. Boyd says that * petition is being passed for an election in Delphi to decide on the saloon question. Carroll county will be legally “wet” on February 28th, unless city and township elections are held favorable to the temperance people prior to that date. Delphi formerly had nine saloons. It has been “dry” for two years and the temperance people there hope to keep it so for all ruture time. It is half way between Lafayette and Logansport, both “wet” cities, but Delphi is better off without saloons for all interests.
