The Newton circuit court will convene Monday, The Enterprise says the indications are that the docket will be very light. Eighty-two applicants for teachera*|l license were examined last Saturday, and seven papers were sent in from other counties for application for license in this county. The Apologist editor is evidently too ashamed of himself to mention his criminal libel cases, as we were unable to find them noted in any way in the last issue of that sheet. Judge Thompson expected to wind up the April term of court yesterday. The case of Bedford vs Warner, for an accounting, has occupied nearly the whole week, And no decision has been rendered by the judge at this writing.

Another alleged owner of a worthless dog has been “horsed” up and fined, however. I have private funds to loan on real Estate at low rates for any length of time. Funds are always on hands and there is nodelay—no examination of land, no sending papers ea^t—absolutely no red tape. Why do you wait on insurance companies for 6 months for your money? I also loan money for short times at current bank rates. Funds always on hand' W. B. Austin. When you have a noD-resident notice, notice of appointment, notice of survey, notice of final settlement, etc., to*.be published, insist on your attorney having the publication made in The Democrat.

Frank Fisher of Kankakee township, end James Antrim of this place, were over in Illinois this week to invoice a hardware stock which the former has traded- a half section of wild land for. The trade was made with J. G. Perry of Goodiand. Mr. Fisher sells the stock of goods to a Mr. Puckett of Remington. Frank still owns 320 acres in Kankakee township, which is sufficient to keep him busy the most of the time.

Death of John W. Warren.

John W. Warren, whose serious illness was mentioned in our columns last week, died at his home in Newton to., last Tuesday at 1:30 p. m., from tumor of jthe stomach, and 13 days. Deceased was born in Circleville, Ohio, Jan. 19,1834, and came to Jasper county in 1854. He Was married to Rhode Coen Sayers, March 26, 1856, who died in 1878.

ANOTHER LIBEL SUIT.

Editor Marshall of the Apologist, is the Aggrieved Party—No Opposition totfie "Ring” Desired. Another attempt to silence The Democrat was hatched this week, and strange as it may appear to people who are acquainted with the prosecuting party, George E. Marshall of the Apologist, is the “injured individual.” This is the first case that has ever come to our notice where one newspaper man sned another for libel, and this instance, coming from a newspaper man of Marshall’s known tendencies to “larrup” everyone who opposes him or against whom he has a fancied grievance, the prosecution is even more ridiculous. The alleged libelous article is that wherein John H. Jessen, over his own signature, lampooned Marshall last week, in reply to a maliscious article of the previous week from Marshall in the Apologist. The action brought is for criminal libel. Of course it is patent to all that it is The Democrat that Marshall is after, yet the clumsy attempt is made to cover this by also filing an affidavit against Mr. Jessen on the same charge. The apologist editor has had considerable experience in silencing opposition in political matters here in the past, but in this case he evidently was of the opinion that his old tactics wouldn’t work, so he plays the “baby act” of suing for übel.
