The Roachdale News says: Esther The Beautiful Queen—the above cantata was rendered Thursday eve in the Roachdale Hall by Greencastle talent and if we are to judge from the expressed approval of those who attended it would be most favorable to the company; such comments as it was the liest entertainment that has ever visited this town were the answers we received from every one of whom we inquired. A DePauw University Sophomore recently had “a date” with one of Greencastle’s belles which he desired to skip, and as an excuse he desired her to believe that he had been called from the city. To accomplish this he wrote a note and addressed it to her; this note he enclosed in another envelope, which he sent to the postmaster at Rockport, with a request that he mail the note for the lady from the Rockport postofflee. The postmaster compiled with the request, but he also wrote on the outside of the envelope, in a bold hand that the note had been sent to him from Greencastle to be mailed from his office. The Sophomore will understand, when he reads this, why that young lady fails to speak as she passes him by.

The ladies of the Freshman Class gave a green reception to the young men of the same class, at Ladies’ Hall, on Monday evening. The toilets of the ladies were more remarkable for variety than elegance, and the young men were almost hid by their shirt collars.

GRAZED BY A BULLET.
Bourne, the Wild Man of Hendricks Comes Near Killing Marshal Starr On last Sunday afternoon one Everett Bourne, who hails from Hendricks county, got loaded with fightinir whisky and : elf acting revolvers, and created a disturbance in Keightleytown; in fact his whooping and yelling and reckless pistol firing created consternation in that suburb. Marsha! Starr was summoned to the seat of war, and he met Bourne as he was leaving the scene of trouble. When tno Marshal hove in sight Bourne tacked to the southwest; Starr followed and Bourne turned and informed Starr t bathe must not attempt to arrest him, or he would be shot, and emphasized the notice with an amplitude of oaths. Starr kept on advancing, and when within about ten feet Bourne blazed away with his pistol, firing three shots; two of them went wide of the mark, but the third one"struck Starr near the groin; it was a glancing shot, cutting through his clothes, just breaking the skin,

Most people have come to the con-1 elusion that they can’t well go barefooted even in these hard times and are coming after their shoes just as though they expected to continue wearing them. Well, as I said before, you will be surprised when you see how many different styles we have and how nice they are. When I tell you that I have the largest stock of fine shoes in the city and give you better shoes than you can buy elsewhere for the same price I simply state a fact, which you can’t help but see when you come to examine. I intend to keep a larger stock this year than ever before. Very respectfully, P. R. CHRISTIE.
