Horses and Cattle taken in exchange for farming implements, wagons, baggies, binders, mowers, hardware, etc. J. W. Phelps, Remington, Ind. Mr. Harry F. Ward of Evanston, Ills., a young orator of considerable fame, will lecture at the M. E. church, Rensselaer, Ind., Friday night, Jan. 20th, 1899, under the auspices of the Epworth League. His subject will be, “Rudyard Kipling.” Admission 15 cents. This will be a rare treat. Everybody invited. W. H. Beam met with a painful accident last Monday morning by dislocating a little toe. Although suffering intense pain Monday, he attended the council meeting at night, but shortly after returning home became violently ill with a partial paralysis of the diaphragm, and for a time his life was despaired of. He is now much improved and is again attending his duties at the dedot. * •' Mir. Babcock has undoubtedly saved the county many thousand dollars since he became the publisher of The Democrat, and while being indicted for libel looks a little bad op paper, we can assure.the parties that took this means of “getting even” with him, that they will reglize that “he’ll isn’t a half mile off,” before “meetin’ isout.”—Monticello Journal. Several members of the K. of P. Lodge have visited John L. Wickham at Monon Sunday. He is suffering what may truly be callcpl a living death from paralysis. The disease began with his lower extremities and is gradually progressing upward. His hands and arms are now slightly affected, but he still retains the use of his mental faculties and the power of speech; His condition is one that calls for the deepest sympathy.— Monticello Herald. The appointment of postmaster at this place to succeed Geo. M. Robinson, deceased is still in abeyance. There seems to be an impression that the widow of the late postmaster will be appointed his successor provided she will agree to keep competent clerks in charge of* the office. In case the widow is not appointed the acting postmaster, Mr. E. D. Rhoades, may be appointed and his appointment will give very general satisfaction.
