Miss Alta Day of Danville, 111., is the guest of her uncle, Hiram Day. Mrs. Wm. Daniels and son Guy, are visiting friends at Chicago Heights. The date for holding the county institute has been changed from Aug. 19 to Sept 2. At Knox the other day Mrs. Gould, wife of Attorney Gould, who died a few days ago, while searching among her husband's papers found thirty-one SIOO bills tucked away in an envelope about which the family knew nothing.— Winamac Republican. The contract for the construction of thirty miles of stone 'roads in Jefferson tp., Newton county, was let Monday to a Cincinnati bidder for $45,412.40, or about $1,500 per mile. The highest bid was $56,900. Stone will be used from quarries in the township. During last week there was a car load of walnut logs piled up at Beaver City awaiting shipment to Indianapolis. They were cut on the Hosier farm which was recently purchased by Mark Peterson of this place, and constitute about the last of the walnut timber in Newton county.—Morocco Courier.

T. P. Gray and son of Benton county, were in the city Saturday, enroute to Pulaski county, to erect a wind-mill upon his Pulaski county farm. Mr. Gray, who resides in the garden-spot of Indiana, says that crops in Benton county are looking rather sickly, his own looking the worst for several years. Parties were here Saturday, from Sheldon, 111., looking for the team and buggy stolen from near that place, which was advertised in last week's Democrat. They had followed a trail for a long distance in the direction of northern Jasper, only to find on overtaking the parties that they were not * the ones wanted. The stolen rig had not been recovered at last accounts. Esq. Troxell returned this week from a visit to Delphi. He showed us a sample of the oil recently struck near that city, the discovery of which is causing considerable excitement in the town on the placid Wabash. The oil is similar to that in the Jasper county field, except that it is much thinneryoccasioned, no doubt by the fact that Carro 1 county is the home of Wind-Bag Landis, whose milk and water “statesmanship” could hardly be expected to generate the heavy quality of oil found in the tenth district. Through a little alleged “fine work,” Mrs. Ora Bushong was induced to sign a dismissal of the state case against her husband, A. M. Bushong, who has been confined in jail for a few weeks, and he was released Thursday and departed for southern Indiana. Mre.
