We sell “The Plow a Man Can Pull.’’ HAMILTON & KELLNER. Drop in at Morrow Bros.’ store in the Odd Fellows building and look around; You will find on our ten-cent counter over two hundred useful articles, some worth double the amount we ask for them. Your choice for 10c. JOHN EGER. Twelve indictments were found against blind' tiger operators in Pulaski county by the grand jury which just adjourned. Fines of SSO and jail sentences for 30 days is the custom over there and the practice is likely, to be broken up. Try a 25c package of rolled oats and get a handy glass measuring cup with it. JOHN EGER. The Delphi Herald has found an old settler who remembers a winter that was worse. It was in 1844, according to the old inhabitant, that the Wabash river was frozen over solid until April 4th, so solid that teams could drive over it. • As we near spring, we crave something for an appetizer. We have a full line of sweet, «our, and dill pickles. JOHN -EGER; r ——————— “Bud” Hammonds, of Lisbon, N. Dak., was in town this morning. He had come back to see his aged father, who was taken to the asylum at Longcliffe recently. “Bud” is just as enthusiastic about the west as he ever was and looks prosperous and don’t hesitate to say that he is prosperous.

W. H. Stucker, who. resides on a farm he owns near Roann, Ind., is here for a short visit with relatives, his father, Phillip Stucker, at Mt. Ayr, and hjs wife’s relatives, the* Schanlaubs. He would like to return to Jasper county and may make a deal to do so while here. Mrs. Reuben Hess, of Kentland, was taken suddenly ill last week and hurrled to a Lafayette hospital, where her disease was diagnosed as diphtheria; Several were exposed and were given antitoxin. Mrs. Hess Is improving very satisfactory and there is little chance toffy spread of a disease. <W. C. Pruitt..was in today from his home In Jordan township, where he has been assisting his son for a day or two. lie has been staying with hia mother, who lives in the extreme southwestern end of Carpenter township, 2 miles southeast of Goodland ever since the 23rd of last November when, she had the misfortune to fall and break one of her legs at the hip. As she is 78 years of age the accident has gone very hard with her and will probably result fatally, as she has been failing quitd rapidly lately. Mr. Pruitt will return to her today. This is the 42nd day since''the groundhog emerged from his winter quarters, beheld.a black patch on the earth, cast there by his own body, which was between the earth anil the luminous orb of the beavers, and ducked back into his hole. That was Just six weeks ago and true to his reputation the weather has been real winter ever since. Thgr Republican, during that period, defended him against all comers and has argued almost daily to convince the skeptical of his power over the existing conditions. At last all were and the groundhog has gone right ahead ancj upheld his reputation to the last. Today, for instance, snow' has fallen from very early morning up to noon and has mingled with yesterday’s rain and slush and sidewalks and street crossings are submerged In water and slush. And now the sun has come out for just a little while, long enough to Jet the groundhog get'the boots, scared pff him again and if he is really entitled to another six weeks, he is doubtless now tucked away in the farthest recesses of his winter home. We can hardly see our way clear at this time to longer defend the little pest and after three days 6t grace, we expect warmer-feather to come, even Jf it meets the disapproval of his terra firma hogness. ■ , Oyster shells and otberppultry feeds sold by Hamilton &- Kellnjer.
