PWe advise our dearly beloved Dunn ville correspondent not to worry one particle about Wheatfield pickle patches suffering because of our love for the sour fruit. Pickles are so plentiful this year that even forty per day can not be missed from the vines. Yes, they grow on vines here and not on bushes.

The boys in town Saturday night bad a good laugh on hearing a young lady, when walking down the street with her parents, who carried a lantern, exclaim that she would rather be in Guiena with her back broke than be seen on the street with a lantern. Say, boys, if you ever expect to get East have the Sand to go without a lantern. Misses Caroline Gilbransen and Elva East entertained a number of their '‘personal friends” at the former’s home Friday evening, Oct. 25. It is rumored (we don't state this as an absolute fact as only "the cream” of Wheatheld’s society were present) that a very pleasant time was enjoyed by all. Several of Dunnville's most popular and highly respectable young men were there and, so they say, behaved in the true Dunnvillia.iish manner.

His father, John Powell, went west about 25 years ago and this is Ed’s first visit back. , After a separation of over 14 years, Frank Roe came to see his sister, Mrs. W. O. Corrothers.

Page taking lead. They marched two and two, and came in single file and occupied four pews. There was quite a large attendance.

KERSEY. Weather cool. Mr. Icemeger is having his hay pressed. The dance at Mark Ott’s Saturday eve was well attended. Miss Barbara Brooks, who has been ill, is improving some. Most of the Kersey folks are going to a speaking tonight at Newland. Anyone wishing a good county paper should subscribe for The Democrat.

Would be due the County if the Iroquois Bonds were sold under a proceeding commenced October 7th 1892. These bonds could have been sold at any time after May 5, 1897. Commissioner Halleck and his then fellow member of the board, were persuaded by Hanley & Hunt on November 22, 1897, to give them $350.00 to try to avoid the sale of bonds and collect said sum from the petitioners whose petition had been fully granted on December 10, 1892. Pursuant to said agreement an unsuccessful suit is pending against those who do not owe. The still resident petitioners are Stephen A. Brusnahan, Lewis Davidson, John M. Lesh, John Humes, John E. Alter, Nathan Eldridge, S. B. Thornton, A. J. Freeland, William Bull, Prior Rowen, John W. Nowels, Charles F. Stackhouse, Delos Thompson, I. N. Hemphill, F. W. Bedford, C. A. Hopkins, Nehemiah Hopkins, John J. Pullins, Israel B. WasTTHurn, Alfred Collins, W. D. Blankenbaker, Eli J. Stutzman, Robert Stephenson, Theodore F. Warne, George M. Wilcox, George McElfresh, Jerry J. Shea, Henry Zacher, Perry Marlatt, William Greenfield, George B. Parkison, Addison Parkison, Granville Moody, Simon P. Thompson, Charles A. Harrington and Joel F. Spriggs. Much additional county money has been squandered since November 22, 1897, in said attempt to deprive said county of said sum of $3,646.70. Said Halleck asks re-election on this as one of his many peculiar strokes of public finance and justice. The Democrat is prepared to turn out job printing of any character in up-to-date style and on short notice. Remember we carry the largest stock of paper, ruled and unruled goods in the county.

PUBLIC SALES. If you are thinking of holding a public sale, remember that The Democrat office is the proper place to get your bills printed. We get up a nice, neat bill and give a free notice in The Democrat with each set of bills, and, as the Democrat is read by more farmers in Jasper county than all the other papers combined, you will make a mistake that means dollars and cents to you if you go elsewhere for this class of work. Publicity is what you want to bring the people to your sale and thus secure good prices for what you have to sell. The Democrat can insure you this, for it reaches the people, and the very class of people you want to tell about your sale. Subscribe for The Democrat fieal Estate Transfers, Asaph M.
