Cowgill & Worland have moved into their new building on the east side of the public square. C. H. Vick has moved his news, fruit and confectionary.-store into the rooms they vacated. It is reported that Miss. Allie Day of this city, and O. H. McKay, a former employe of the Rensselaer laundry, were married at Plymouth, where the groom is now employed, last Sunday. and Mrs. D. L. Richardson have moved to Wingate, where they will make their home with their daarughter, Mrs. Charles Postil. Greo. Colvert will occupy their property on North Cullen street. It was reported here a few days ago that Mrs. Myrtle Pulver Veach now of Hammond, was about to die of peritonitis. She died Thursday night about 11 o’clock. She leaves an infant about ten days old. Donnelly, the onion grower, struck it rich again with his last season’s crop. He raised about 5.000 bushels on fifteen acres of of ground. He sold some of these for 84 cents per bushel, but about 3,000 bushels brought him $1 12, while the 1,000 bushels he has left he will get about $1.40 to $1.50 for, thus the average on the whole crop will be about ♦ 1.20 to $1.25 per bushel. Not bad for fifteen acres of ground, is it?

W. D. Harlow, late of the Monon News, was in the city a few hours Wednesday and made us a fraternal call. Bro. Harlow gave the people of Monon a mighty good local paper, but his efforts never received the recognition they deserved. He expects to again engage in the newspaper business but aB yet has not decided upon the location. The Democrat hopes that his lines may be cast mid pleasant and prosperous surroundings. We understand that the widow of the late James W T . Pierce contemplates leasing the large farm owned by deceased and will probably move to town. The insurance and persoual property left, by Mr. Pierce will be about sufficient to wipe out all incumbrance on the farm and pay all outstanding debts, leaving the widow and children the big farm, worth $15,000 to $20,000, clear This will bring in a handsome income annually and will no doubt continue to increase in value,

Valparaiso College and The Northern Indiana Normal School at Valparaiso, Indiana, will open its spring term April 2. This Institution has been unusually prosjrerous and has done great good for the teachers in the state. It is now thoroughly equipped in every way. During the past year it erected a new science hall which will accommodate 400 students at one time, or 1,200 in a single day. During the spring and summer sessions they have all of their regular classes and in addition to these, review classes, so that students may take regular work, or review, or part of each, as may be desired, one tuition paying for all. A large unmber of students from this county always attend. Harry Butler retnrned ’Wednesday from his visit in southern Indiana. He is very favorably impressed with North Vernon and that -part —of —Jennings county visited, which was only a small portion. He says Col. Spoor’s farm of 300 acres within sight of town, is a valuable tract, and has 45 acres of fine timber on it. The weather was fine and dust fiying. Spoor took advantage of this condition to make Harry believe that the coldest winters down there were naught but a summer’s dream, and that mosquitos are worst about holidays; he also disabused Harry's mind of the idea that natives down there raise moss on their chins instead of whiskers. Mr. Spoor is building a large barn on hia place, all from lumber out of timber from his own farm.— Goodland Herald. “My heart was badly affected by an attack of grip and I suffered intense agony until I began taking Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure.
