The harmony that exists between local Democrats is not so abundant that it is hanging on the busjies. The recent precinct conventions which elected committeemen were not altogether love_ affairs. This was very appKirent in some of the precincts in Center township. There were no real fights, but the spirit of fight was present.

Fountaintown Christian Church The revival still continues at the Christian church conducted by Rev. Ernest A. Addison and wife, the regular pastor, assisted by Rev. Burns, of Gwynneville. Large numbers of people attend and great interest is manifested. Many were turned away Sunday evening on account of not having room to seat them. Thirty-six have already confessed Christ, and many more are hoped for. Everybody is invited each evening to hear these wonderful messages, full of truth and consolation.

The Mite Society of the Christian church will celebrate their twentieth anniversary on Friday evening, February 13th. at the church. An interesting program will be rendered and refreshments served.

The attendance at the Christian church Sunday school last Sunday was 74 and collection, §3.30. School convenes at 10 a. rn. each Sunday. Everyone welcome.

SALE PRONOUNGED COMPLETE SUCCESS

Over Forty-Five Hundred Dollars' Worth of Property Changed Hands in a Few Hours.

The combination sale at Fairs barn on North street Tuesday was pronounced a complete success. The proceeds amounted to over $4,500, the property changing hands in a few hours. Household goods, farm tools and junk sold in the forenoon. There were a few hogs, about 20 head of cows and calves, and over 30 horses sold. The prices for horses ranged from $60 to $226.

There was probably the largest crowd present that ever attended a sale in^ this vicinity, and both buyers and sellers seem well satisfied. This is the second annual combination sale held at the Fair barn.

•A Winter Cough .A stubborn, annoying, depressing cough hangs on, racks the body, weakens the lungs, and often leads to serious results. The first dose of Dr. King's New Discovery gives relief. Henry D. Sanders, of Cavendish, Vt., was threatened with consumption, after having pneumonia. He writes: "Dr. King's New Discovery ought to be. in every family it is certainly the best of all medicines for coughs, colds or lung trouble." Good for children's coughs. Money back if not satisfled. Price 50c and $1.00. Recommended bjrZike, the druggist. (Advertisement)

PAYING MACHINES EXHIBITED HERE

W. M. Bonnewell, of Indianapolis, spent a few days this week at the Columbia Hotel exhibiting one of the money paying machines which is manufactured by the International Money Machine Company. This company recently located at Mars Hill, Indianapolis, and is a corporation with $2,000,000 of stock. Former Mayor Charles Bookwalter is vice-president of the company.

The machines made by the company include a great variety, but two of the ones being used most commonly are the paying machine for pay-rolls in factories and large institutions using many employes, doing away with much work of the pay roll, and the machine used in banks which keeps a record of the amounts paid out and at the same time cancels the check on which the payment is made. The company went to Indianapolis from the Pacific Coast.

EVERY GROUHDHOG TO HAVE HIS DAT

And That Day is Monday—Something to Worry About—Will He See His Shadow?

Well, every groundhog must have his day, so they say, and that day is Monday, February 2d. Some say this important date is the 22d, but the former dale is pretty generally conceded to be the real time when the control of the,weather is given over to this queer little animal, and right at this time, when things to worry about are growing scarce, it gives many people an occupation.

Will the groundhog see his shadow Monday? That is the question before the house, and much in the way of weather may hinge on its answer. Should the independent and sleepy eyed prognosticator leave his winter's bed Monday and see his shadow hanging around, the saying is that he will immediately return to his nest and prepare for another six weeks' sleep, reasoning that when he again awakens, spring will be on hand to greet him. But should the day be dark, without sunshine, and the little animal failsto see his shadow when he leaves his winter quarters Monday for the first time, then he will have reason to believe that spring is just around the corner and cannot be headed off, so Mr. Groundhog begins to hunt out a spot in which to ihake his summer home, deserting his old quarters for good. This is one of the old-time tried and tested signs, and it never fails— when it hits.

KANSAS CITY CATTLE MARKET SHOWS ADVANCE PAST WfcEK

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. 3— Of the 29,000 cattle received here last week, stocker and feeder buyers. took 12,000 head. Cattle hunger is becoming acute in most localities, and prices are considerably higher than a month ago, advancing 10 to 25c last week. Receipts here Monday this week were 11,000 head, containing a very large percentage of stock and feeding grades which sold strong. The general market ruled steady Monday. Illinois and Iowa parties who visited the rec^nI Denver Show and Sales were unable to get nearly enough cattle, most of them returning empty handed. The S. M. S. ranch of 400,000 acres in Texas, which brand of cattle is well known in Illinois finishing circles, reports that never before has anything like the number of inquiries now coming in for young cattle been known. A sale of five cars of Kansas Hereford stockers was made here Monday at $8, 624 lbs. average, and good to choice feeders have gone to II

and feeders at $6.75 to $7.75 Feed saving weather has resulted in the ability to take care of many thousands of additional cattle the balance of the winter, and country transactions in the last week have covered a wider range of territory than usual. Considerable of the recent strength in corn has melted away, due to Argentine imports, together with mild weather, requiring slight feed bills. Different sections of the feeding territory report corn selling in the past week at 65 to 70 cents. J. A. RICKART,

His skull and both of his jaws were fractured. His condition is critical.

BACKACHl KIDNEYS AND BlMQftl

gj,

The Home Economics Club met Monday afternoon with Mrs. Geo. Cooper. Each member responded to roll call by giving a recipe for "your best dish." These dishes varied, consisting of salads, biscuits, meats, etc. Mrs. James Rogers continued the regular work on "Starving America," the author warning against the use of adulterated and denatured foods. Much to the delight and benefit of the'members and a few guests, a demonstration in line with the lesson was given. The wheat grain was served in three wTays: First, the way our grandmothers cooked it, the wThole grain being cooked for six hours or more and then served with sugar and cream. Second, cracked wheat off of the first roll, or ground in a coffee grinder at home this is then made into a mush from thorough cooking, and then the mush made from the graham flour unsifted. These all should be cooked 6 hours or more to make the bran digestible. Apple sauce may be served with these mushes. By the addition of cream and sugar, we have a balanced ration,, or one that supplies the different, elements the body requires. This whole wheat or mush may be cooked from one to two hours on the stove, then/ placed in the fireless cooker for the remaining time. As a club we have found that some of the most necessary food qualities are taken out in the manufacture and preparation of many grains that are now used for breakfast foods, and the best of whole wheat can be obtained from our own mills here. Our object as a club insofar as it has to do with cooking, is not so much how to make fancy dishes, or always something new, but to learn what elements the human body needs and what articles of food and how prepared to meet, the demand and lastly, the art of making these plain, necessary things palatable, so that they will be used instead of artificial supplies—or of foods artificially prepared. This is the true art of cooking, supplying happiness and contentment in a home, so far as the matter of cooking is concerned. In the serving of the plain, wholesome dishes, the beautiful and artistic need not be forgotten. Foods being more appetizing in pleasant surroundings. At this demonstration eighteen ladies were seated at the long table lavishly decorated with large ropes of smilax, entwined with sprays of sweet peas, dotted here and there. At each plate was an imitation flower pot in minature, fashioned by molding graham mush in individual brown baking dishes and sticking sweet peas and ferns into it. These were given as favors. A more pleasant and profitable afternoon has never been enjoyed by this club.

The Modern Priscilla Club met with Mrs. Jacob Thomas Saturday afternoon. Six members attended. Miss Ethel Hutton of this city, was

a guest of the evening. Refresh-

served. The next meeting will be with Miss Elizabeth Addison, February 28th.

Mrs. Howard Roberts, Mrs. Wood L. Walker, Mrs. John Rosser and Mrs. Edward Moore were hostesses to the Cosmos Society Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Roberts on North street. There were about sixty-five members present, and a number of new names added to their already large list. They had a very enthusiastic meeting. The following officers were elected for next year's work: president, Mrs. John Rosser vice-presidents, Mrs. Ward Fletcher, Mrs. Riley McKown and Mrs. Edward Moore. During the social hour, Mrs. Dora Andrews and Mrs. Samuel J. Offutt rendered several solos which were appreciated by the company. The dining room was beautiful with floral decorations, the colors, yellow and green predominating. The tea table was decorated with green candles and a bunch of jonquils, formed an attractive center-piece. Mrs. Lawrence Garriott, Mrs. Sam Offutt, Mrs. Fred Havens, Miss Naomi Goble and Miss Elizabeth Goble presided at the tea table. All members of the club feel that they will have a very prosperous year before them. The next meeting will be on the first Tuesday in March.

The Christian Endeavor Society of the M. P. church" held a very enjoyable social at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Kirkpatrick Tuesday evening. There was a good" attendance. The Endeavor Society is observing anniversary week, and Will give a program, at the church Sunday evening.

IT TAKES TIME,

Is the Only Sure Way of Becoming Wealthy

The second of a series of social gatherings of the Presbyterian church was held at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Andrick and Mrs. Emma Merrill. In spite of the very inclement weather there were about thirty-five in attendance, while there was rain, sleet, snow and ice without, there was abundance of merriment within. Many amusing games were indulged in during the evening. Refreshments consisting of all kinds of candy, apples, pop-corn, dates and wafers were served at a late hour.

Miss Justine Stubbs, assisted bysome of her pupils, gave an interesting recital at her home on East Main street Friday evening. This is the fourth recital Miss Stubbs has given. She gave a very delightful talk on "The Music of Primitive Man." Her sister, Miss Martha, gave two clever monologues. Those who played were Misses Ruth and Elizabeth Barrett, Jeanette alton, Anna Moore. Edna Bayley Allred, Marybelle Keller, Helen Loy, Martha Stubbs, Martha Gettle, Ruth Henby and also Miss Frances Woolery, of Indianapolis.

One of the most enjoyable occasions of the season was at the spacious home of Mrs. Marshall Smith on East street, Saturday. A birthday surprise party was given for Mrs. Smith, planned by her daughter, Mrs. Rose Carr. Mrs. Smith had gone to make a short visit to the country, and on her return at noon she found her home filled with frjends of long and close association, the ladies of the Hespr ian Club, whom Mrs. Carr had .nvited to participate in the joys of the occasion. The rooms were vc ?y beautifully decorated with American Beauty roses, tulips and carnations. Eighteen ladies were seated at the tables, resplendent with cut glass and silver, and center-pieces of carnations, the club flower. The color scheme of green and white was carried throughout. A threecourse luncheon was served. Mrs.

Hiram Eshelman, in her presentation speech, spoke touchingly of the daughter's wish to make it a day of roses and sweet memories, presented to Mrs. Smith a beautiful, hand-painted "salad dish, a gift of the ladies of the club. There were many other gifts, among them being a handsome book from Mrs. Alice Glascock, and many pieces of china.

MI CONVENES IMPORTANT CASE

State Case in Which Young Man is Charged With Intent to Kill is Now Being Tried.

The February term of the Hancock Circuit Court convened Monday morning, and an important criminal case was called for trial. This is the case in which Lawrence Morris is charged with assault and battery on Herbert White, with intent to kill. The case was set for last term, but was continued on account of sickness until the first day of the new term. The trouble out of which the case grew occurred at Wilkinson several months ago. Both the defendant and prosecuting witness are young men: The prosecuting witness, it is alleged, was attacked by the defendant, and seriously wounded with a knife.
