5 PER CENT. MONEY.

Money to burn. We know you hate to smell the smoke. Stock up your farms while there is money in live stock and save taxes on s<oo.oo every year. Takes 36 hours at the longest to make the most difficult loans. Don’t have to know the language of your great grandmother. Abstracts always on hand. No red tape. ‘ Chilcote & Parkison.

Read It In Hla Newspaper. George Schaub, a well known German citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a constant reader of the Dayton Volkszeitung. He knows that this paper aims to advertise only the best in its columns, and when he saw Chamberlain’s Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with the most terrible pains in her back and could set no relief. He says: “After using the Pain Balm for a few days my wife said to me, ‘I feel as though born anew,' and before using the entire contents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely vanished and she could take up her household duties." He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of her wonderful recovery. This valuable liniment is for sale by A. F. Long.

VIRGIE.

Thos. Joiner of Fair Oaks, has been in our place fur ?. few days displaying his mechanical ingenuity under the direction of Mr. McColly on the barn just completed for Mr. Weise. Elwood Hurley, in addition to being a good Sunday school superintendent, is also a very neat farmer, and since he has come in possession of his farm has made several quite showy improvements. Now, that DeMotte has no correspondent, we would volunteer to go over now and then and give them an occasional write-up were it not for the fact that we possess gift for writing obituary notices. James McColly, our contractor and builder, has just finished a very fine barn for Chas. Weise. Mr. McColly beat’s the reputation of being a good workman and gels more to do than he can possibly attend to. . Four things are necessary in order to secure a good erop.viz: heat, light, air and moisture, but the heat has been lacking, consequently we cannot boast of good crops like Mr. D. V. Had we some individual in our midst who, like our honored friend, could furnish the necessary heat, we to would be all hunky dori. Mr. D. V. claims that Dunnville and Canaan are the same. By this I suppose he wishes to convey the idea that Dunnville is the same as Canaan was before God s chosen people took possession and gave it a name anil history among the other countries of the earth. If that is the meaning of his allusion to D. V. and Canaan, we willheartily agee-witb him. Frank Rhodie, who lives just north of Virgie, has the largest apiary in the township. We understand that he has now over forty stands of bees in it. Now, as Mr. Hurley has a Jersey cow and Mr. Rhodiehas the bees, who will have the hardihood to deny that we live in a land that flows with milk and honey? Surely, even Mr. D. V. will not enter an objection. Mr. Jugler is going to have a formidable rival in growing potatoes, as Thomas Florence has planted several acres. Heretofore Thomas has made a specialty of only one crop, and that was mangoes, but this year he is widening out his agricultural operations and we would advise all amateur gardeners to watch out if they do not want to oe distanced, because Tom is noted as a hustler at whatever he undertakes.

BLACKFORD.

Warm weather. Crops have a different color. Bennie and Vilas Price spent Sunday at John Hui ley's. Ves Austin and wife of near Wheatfield, were in this locality Tuesday. Your Blackford cor. spent lust week visiting relatives and seeing the sights at Monon. From the looks of the roads, crops and orchards in this locality, a few drops of dampness is needed. Andrew Arnold, one of Jasper’s most highly esteemed citizens, died at his home IJ4 miles south of Blackford last Sunday evening. He was stricken with paralysis about six weeks ago. He was aged about 78 years and had resided in Barkley township for several years. The funeral was held at the Dunkard church at 1:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon; interment in the Dunkard cemetery. We shall meet but we shall miss him There will be one vacant chair. We shall linger to caress him While we breathe our evening prayer. When a year ago we gathered Joy was in his mild blue eye, But a golden cord is severed And our hopes in ruin lie. At our fireside sad and lonely Often w ill the bosom swell, At remembrance of a father Whom we all did honor well. True, they tell us wreathes of glory Evermore will deck his brow. But this smooths the anguish only Sweeping oer our heartsrings now. Sleep to day, O. dearest father, In thy green and narrow bed. Dirges from the pine and cypress Mingle with the tears we shed.

GILLAM.

Corn looks fine. Peter Hermansenshelled corn Monday. C. W. Baker had business at the hub Tuesday. P. Hermansen and wife took a’ drive through Gillam Sunday. Harry Walters and father went to Francesville Wednesday. Joe was the happy guest of Miss Julia McGee Sunday evening. Mrs. Levi Miller called on Mrs. Jas. Blankenship Friday afternoon. August Clester ami Sam Armbrecht visited friends at Winamac Sunday. Losse Pass attended the childrens day exercises at Barkley Sunday evenning. The Misses Lydia, Anna and Mary Armbrecht visited Mrs. J. Blankenship Monday. J. J. Fellow of Greentown, Ind., was the guest of Jas. Blankenship and wife Saturday evening. Gillam township commencement will be held in connection with that of White Post tp., Pulaski county, at Medaryville, iune 22. An all day’s session will be eld. Gillam has four graduates.

LEE.

Children's day at Lee, June 23. Lase Denton spent Sunday at home. Ed Meyers and Ray Holeman each have a new buggy. For tbe latest, inquire of J. J. and J. S., and you will bear it.

Albert Hanna and Fred Phillips drove to Rose Lawn Sunday. John Johnsen and Fred Phillips were at Rensselaer Saturday. Several from here went to Center Sunday to Children’s exercises. Jink Johnson and Angus Carrothers went to Monticello Friday on business. Mrs. J. E. Donalson and children visited her sister in Rankin Sunday afternt on. Sam Noland, who has been teaching school at Lafayette, returned home last week. Ivy and Clarence Carrothers of Kentland, spent Sunday with their folks at this place. Wonder why a certain young fellow don’t take the family when he goes to see his girl? Quite a number from here attended commencement exercises at Monon Saturday night. C. C. Robinson and family, who lately moved from Lafayette, were driving through the country Sunday.

PARR.

Summer again, to stay; we hope. Grandma Martin is some better at thi s writing. Crops are 'looking -better and the farmers are wearing a pleasant smile again. Mrs. McCurtain's sons, Edward and Alfy, came home Saturday for a short visit. Mrs. Anna Clark is still very sick at her parents' home, Mr. and Mrs. Haste’s, east of Pari. I’he foundation for the new church at this place is most done. Charles Martin is the contractor. The entertainment given at the school house Friday and Saturday evenings was good and highly appreciated by those present. - - Parr is still on the boom. Mr. Kite is building an addition to his restaurant, it is being plastered this week. Charles Martin is doing the work. Childrens day exercises will be observed here the last of June. We have a large school here and can give an entertainment worth listening to. Come and see.

DUNNVILLE.

D. V. is the home of the just. Miss Emma Knapp is working for Mrs. August Kalanska. Dr. Solt of San Pierre, was in our vicinity, last Tuesday. Clifford Fairchild of DeMotte, was in our burg Saturday evening. Messrs. Elmer Collins, Walter Smith and William Wills spent Sunday at San Pierre. Eatl and Alice Wilmington and DougIrs Wynant departed for Michigan last Sunday. Miss Lyi'ia Sands, who has been visiting at Winamac, arrived home the other day. W. S. DeArmond is erecting a machinery palace on his Dunnville property. He intends to dedicate it with a dance to-night. Oh, no, we don’t raise sugar beets as extensively this year, as we did last. I’he farmers like to work but they like to see the money roll in. Dunnville will feed the American eagle at Dunn's bridge the 4th of July. | We intend to make the celebration a ! success or kill the bird a-trying. We had the pleasure of breaking cak e with Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Cooper at San Pierre, last Sunday evening. We ate a few onions, in fact, we partook of every thing on the table. The commencement will he held a t D. V. June 20. Immediately after the exercises the young ladies will give an ice-cream festival for the purpose of buying a church organ. Sir W. G. Hinshaw, who has been doing telegraphing work for the B. & O. railroad, spent a few days with us the first of the week. He was enroute to Wyoming, to visit his parents, and from there will go to Oklahoma where he has a situation on the M. K. & T. road. Winfred is a fine operator if the recommendations that he carries with him are a criterion. He was formerly operator here and as such had the good will of all. Mr. Virgie is a name with a semi-mu-sical accent. It is the index of a noble man, the heading of a noble and eloquent essay. Wisdom of all ages are brought to a realizing focus within the domain of his thinking machine. If the old philosopher or stoic who used to go around in . search of a man with a lantern was here and would request me to refer him to a physical being that the word man, would fit, we would, without hestitatiun, say unto him, go and see Mr. Virgie. Mr. Virgie has tried in the past to convince us that he makes his living with his head but then, after al), we think and smile, when we remember that the wood-peck- | er does, too. Mr. James Newhouse, our good natured elevator man, issued a proclamation, to the young people of Kankakee township, to the effect that they should asi semble at the City of Dunnville, and effect a military organization and then proceed from there to the residence of Mr. Newman White and surprise bis daughter, Stella. Seventy-five persons responded to the gracious call, and under the leadership of Major General Newh <use, gave Miss Stella the greatest surprise of her life. She would have cried if she thought no one would have seen her. After playing a few games and telling and exchanging a few humorous stories, supper was served in banquet style and my goodness! how the icecream and cake vanished. The sons and daughters of Kankakee and a few of their San Fierre cousins actually ate eight gallons of ice-cream and a corresponding amount of cake. We all had a fine time.
