Did you taste those lovely warm biscuits during E. D. Rhoades’ stove sale? They were made of River Queen Flour. Alfred Anderson was fined $25 and costs by Squire Burnham Tuesday. will lay it out at the county expense. Anderson resides here and is a horrible example of what excesses in this line lead to. This was the second time he had been before His Honor, and the full limit was given. In The Democrat’s mention of the decease of Sylvester O’Meara last week there was an efror as to the place of his birth. Mr. O’Meara was born in Tippearv, Ireland, and his parents left there when he was about two years old. A near relative was the source of our information that he was born at Peru, this state, but this was not so. Mr. O’Meara lived several years at Peru. One reason why the people never pay any attention to signs and advertisements daubed on old fences, stables and bridges, is because they do not know whether they are reading the advertisements of some firm that is still in business or one that has been dead for years. When the people read the advertisement in a paper that is up-to-date, they know that the advertiser is alive and doing business. judges on Long’s corn show awarded the premiums as follows: Ist premium, a fine gold watch, to Frank Welsh of Jordan tp.; 2d premium, 25 pounds of barn paint, to Irving L. Jones of Marion tp.; 3d premium, 25 pounds of condition powder, to T. F. Dunlap of Newton tp. The entries were only 57, against 101 for last year. ~\The falling off in entries this year is no doubt due to the fact that there are fewer good fields of corn in this vicinity. The friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. David Crowe of Newton tp., gathered at their home last Saturday night to remind them that it was their 20th wedding anniversary. The invaders carried well filled baskets of edibles with them and a feast of good things was spread. They left a 115-piece china set with Mr. and Mrs. Crowe as a testimonial of the esteem in which they are held and as a souvenir of the occasion. There were about 45 people in attendance. At the third International Live Stock Exposition, to be held in Chicago November 29-December 6, the champions and ribbon holders of the big fairs and exhibitions in every part of the country this year will be brought into direct competition and the relative merits of the finest types in the world determined. The work of judging the almost innumerable classes filled with choice specimens at the Exposition is said to be the most difficult ever undertaken by an unbiased expert anywhere in the world. Quite a number of The Democrat’s readers have guesses on the total vote of Ohio for secretary of state, and will be interested in learning that the vote is 811,467. It is quite likely that to win any of the 4,187 prizes offered in the Cincinnati Enquirer guessing contest the guesses will have to be within a few hundred of the exact vote. The names of the winners is to be published in the Enquirer of Wednesday, Dec. 3. It is reported that 15 postoffice employes at Frankfort, Ind., made up a pool and took several guesses, and that among the number was one of the exact vote. If so, they will secure the capital prize of $24,000 —unless some one else ties them, in which case it will be equally divided. Wolcott Enterprise: An extensive drainage improvement planned by a number of Jasper and White county farmers is now in shape for being established unless defeated by remonstrance. The viewers, of whom Albert j Plummer, L. A. Geiger and Stewart Hughes represented White county, met the first of the | week and went over the proposed line of improvement and have their report in shape to determine the cost and assessments. The ditch will be, when completed, about thirteen miles in length and will drain nearly 11,000 acres of lnnd. It is not known just the exact cost of the proposed improvement but it will probably be very nearly SIO,OOO. The starting point is on the Jasper and Wnite county line near the Hicks farm.
