George Murray will pay the highest price for eggs, commencing with this date. T. C. Baker of south of town, moved to Jennings county where he has purchased some 400 acres of land, this week.

Another excellent company showed at Ellis opera house Thursday night in “For Love’s Sake.” It was among the very best companies that has been here this season. A. Leopold contemplates building at once a one-story brick addition to the rear of the George Murray store, filling in the open space south of The Democrat office and fronting on Vanßereselaer street, the room to be occupied by Mr. Murray who will put a complete line of groceries therein. David McQuaig, the well known veteran hotel-keeper of Monticello, died at his home in that city last Tuesday, after several weeks illness, aged 63J years. Deceased was a native of Scotland, came to America in 1846, located in White county in 1856, and for the past 37 years has been engaged in the hotel business at Monticello. There are no new developments in the Dowell-McCoy draft affair. The case will come up at the April term of court here, when, it is rumored, the evidence will probably show that Dowell was much more deeply indebted to the McCoy’s than has been supposed. They had a chattel mortgage on every bit .of personal property Sim had, we understand, and the property was all quietly shipped out of the state by Dowell, leaving them in the hole on this also. As an “honest, careful and painstaking” gentleman “Sim the Cattle Dealer,” seems to have been a wonder indeed. Vern Kaub, a high school pupil, was assaulted last Friday night near the school house while returning from a social. Fred Parcels, Fred Hemphill, Guy Peacock and Chas. Clift are alleged to have been his assailants. He was knocked down two or three times. On Monday Parcels was arrested and hauled before Esq. Burnham and on a plea of guilty was fined $2 and the “fixins.” The other three left town but returned and were arrested Wednesday. They took change of venue from Esq. Burnham, and the cases were sent to Parr, where they were set for yesterday. Young Kaub says he thinks the boys were drunk and that the assault was entirely unprovoked.
