Mr. and Mrs. H. E. • Rurrie are visiting at the latter’s old home, Paoli, this week. Fred Fatka,of southeast Marion, who has been having quite a seige of sickness, is improving. Kellner and son, Conrad, were called to Chicago • Tuesday night by the sudden death of Fritz Hess, a relative of theirs. The little two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Rosenbaum fell out of a chair Wednesday morning and fractured her right arm. The Democrat has just got in a nice new stock of mounting board. It is all new and in the popular shades. Remember this when in need of any. Miss Belle Wood, of Battle Ground, went to Rensselaer on Monday where she will spend the summer with her sister.—Carroll County Citizen. '{About an inch of snow fell Wednesdey night, and Thursday night there was a hard frost. However, nothing was far enough advanced to do much of any damage. /Joe Hordernan has sent his sister, Mrs. Conrad Hildebrand, and sister-in-law, Mrs. John Hordeman, each a most elaborately embroidered silk handkerchief, the work of Philippine women. Mrs. Hettie Reynolds has moved into her mother’s house on South Weston street, and Ross Goble has moved from South Scott into the Marsh Warner house, vacated by the former, on South Weston street. vThe Milroy Circle presented the G; A. R. post with a fine silk banner at the latter’s meeting on Friday eve of last week, after filling the “old vets” with choice edibles from a number of baskets which they had brought with them. W. T. Beahler of Carpenter tp., was in the city Monday and had his name enrolled on The Democrat’s subscription list. Mr. Beahler has just been appointed administrator of the estate of his father, George Beahler, late of Goodland.

#he bans of marriage of Miss Kate Halligan of north of town, and Mr. of Richmond, were published at St. Augustine’s Catholic church last Sunday for the second time. We understand the marriage will take place about next Sunday. Wm. Ridenour of Yirgie, returned last week from a prospecting trip to Oklahoma, and was so well pleased with the country that he made arrangements to locate there permanently and left Tuesday with his family. He locates in Garfield county. The meetings at Free Baptist church are still progressing with good interest. Rev. W. E. Meads has arrived on the field and is to be installed as pastor of the church. He is an able and efficient worker and a good and forcible speaker. Meetings will continue until Sunday evening. Goodland republicans held their town convention last Friday night. Harvey Wax wood, the colored candidate for the nomination for marshal, received only 13 votes — 10 colored and 3 white. And Goodland town is about three to one republican, too! How our republican friends do love the colored man—when he’s a long ways from them. Franklin Landers of this city has sold to L. M. Fairbanks, a brother of Senator Fairbanks, 1,530 acres of land in Newton County, four iriles from the Kankakee River. The consideration named in the deed is $61,600, or S4O an acre. As part payment, Mr. Landers takes a four-story flat of eight apartments in Chicago. The value of the flat, as estimated in the transaction, was $35,000. Mr. Fairbanks owns a large grain elevator in Chicago and deals extensively in land. The land purchased of Mr. Landers is for the most part of a very fair quality of grain producing soil, and Mr. Fairbanks will cultivate it under his own personal supervision.—lndianapolis Press.
