WHEATFIELD.

Now is the time to begin trying to be some body. T H. L, Langdon is laid up with a severe cold this week Frank Fisher and children visited relatives in Wabash this week. Henry Gulbranson had his foot badly bruised in a runaway Tuesday. < AmosNeier, of Cloverdale, spent Xmas with his sister, Mrs. 8. E. Huber. Geo. Stembel has moved into his fine new residence in the east part of town. Grandpa Miller went to Chicago Saturday to attend the funeral of his grand-daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Blankenship, of Gillam, visited the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Huber the first of the week. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Hendricks and little daughter of Owen Co., are visiting Mrs. Hendricks’ brother, H. Shoppel. Charlie Meyers and wife start for the south Jan. 3, instead of Dec 26, as we stated last week. They will visit Cuba before they return. Roy must be a lucky little fellow, as h® traded coats the other day and got two or three plugs of tobacco to boot. That’s right Roy, be content with your lot. Tom Erwin has taken possession of the blacksmith shop lately vacated by Mr. Wyant. Tom is a first class blacksmith. Give him a call and be convinced. The masquerade ball Monday evening was well supplied with both music and tanglefoot, but some of the boys got more tanglefoot than music, which resulted in two “scraps.”

REMINGTON.

Weather good. Christmas in Remington was a very quiet day. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hardy on the 21st.’ We’ve had the “marryinest” time in our neck of the woods, you ever heard tell of. Mr. Arza Truitt and Miss Hattie Ewing, daughter of James Ewing, south of town, were married Thursday.* Mrs. Jas. Little and daughter Bessie, went to Goodland Wednesday to attend the wedding of Mrs. Little’s niece. Mr. G. A. Moore and Miss Agnes Suell were pnited in the holy bonds of wedlock Wednesday evening at 7:30 o’clock. A ladies* adjunct to the Catholic Order of Forresters was organized here Wednesday night. We did not learn the names of the officers elected. Me John Phillips and Miss Tammie Blake, daughter of E. 11. Blake, southeast of town, were married Wednesdaj' evening at 8 o’clock. Mr. Howard Jones, and Miss Una Thompson, daughter of Geo. W. Thompson, southwest of town, were married at the home of the bride Thursday evening. Albert Littlefield, who is located somewhere in lowa plying his trade as dentist, spent Christmas here with his mother, Mrs. R. A. Littlefield, on North Indiana street. Winifred Draper, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Draper, former residents of Remington, was married at her home in Hartford City, Dec. 27, to Rev. George Fidler.

Sec., Mrs. Lina Luckey;

Treas., Mrs. Maude Whitehead; Trustee, Mrs. Nora Townsend. The Imperial Stock Co. are holding the boards at Austin Hall this week. They are stars in their profession but unfortunately they struck the town when there was too much else going on, and did not in consequence have the liberal patronage they well deserve. Mrs. Ella Sayers Y 3oman, wife of George Yeoman, (Ira W’s son) died quite suddenly at her home near Wadena on Wednesday of last week, aged about 25 years. The cause of her death was uterine humorrage, and she died before a physician could be summoned. She had been in usual good health up to within a few days of her death. A husband and three small children are left to mourn her sudden death.

SEE HERE. TAXPAYERS.

The Democrat wishes to say a few words more about the bids f<r furnishing Jasper county with stationery for the calendar year 1900, and give a few reasons why the bids submitted should not be accepted. Herein we will give prominence only to the Third class stationery supplies, consisting of letter heads, envelopes, etc., which can be furnished by the home printer. We believe that this class of work should be given the home printer, providing he will do it at a reasonable price, but we do not think they should be allowed to form a pool and thus put up the price beyond all reason. Two of the republican printing offices here formed a pool, it seems, and put in what they are pleased to term a “joint bid,” but “joint bids” were just what the legislature intended to prevent when enacting the new county reform law under which these contracts are let, and the amount of this “joint bid” in question is out of all proportion to the individual bids in more populous neighboring cqunties. Below we mention a few bids on the same identical class of work for which, our patriotic republican brethren want the sum of $395. White county (population 23,715, a democratic county) bids: Wilson, Humphries & Co. $1,72.55. W. B. Burford, $228.45, Clark & eimons, $180.50; J. B. Van Buskirk, $170.65. The contract was awarded to Van Buskirk, of the Monticello Herald, the republican party organ, he being $10.15 lower than the editor of the democratic organ. , Benton county (population 17,595, republican county) contract was awarded to Charles H. West, editor of the democratic county organ, at $204.50. Carroll county (population 23, 787, democratic county) contract let to A. B. Crampton editor of a democratic paper at Delphi, for $132.50 Henry county, (population 36, 405),..contract let to W. B. Burford for S3OO. The Democrat put in no bid on the work in this county for the simple reason that we knew we would stand no show whatever of getting the contract. Had we offered to do the workfor SIOO there would have been ways found for rejecting the bid or Controversies in settling therefor, and we decided to keep out. But why should two republican offices here enter into a pool and make a ‘ joint bid?” And why was it that the Burt-Terry Co.,did not bid on this class of work? Are those affidavits filed with the bids “mistakes,” and did these parties get together and agree on prices and to the classes of work each should bid on. etc. We would ask the reader to carefully consider all the facts in this matter and draw their own conclusions. Have you taken advantage of our Indianapolis Sentinel offer?

A SURE CURE FOR CROUP. Twenty-five Years' Constant Use Without a Failure. The first indication of croup is hoarseness and in a child subject to thatylisease it may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of an attack. Following the hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough. If Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is nsed in many thousands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of a single instance in which it has not proved effectual. No other preparation can show such a rec- | ord—twenty-five years’ constant i use without a failure. For sale by Hunt Bros., druggists. Church Of God.
