r ’♦"Editor Schanlaub and attorney Graves were over from Morocco Monday. We understand that H. J. Bartoo of this city has bought the Courier of Mr. Schanlaub and will take possession In a few weeks. The Courier is a good plant, located in an excellent town, and we trust Bro. Bartoo will meet with the same financial success that has drowned Bro. Schanlaub’s newspaper career. -4-One of the automobiles that came through here a couple of weeks ago scared the horse of uncle John Grooms north of town and the animal turned square about in the road, throwing Mr. Grooms and wife from the buggy and bruising them up considerably, as well as breaking up the buggy and harness badly. If there is anything.more scary to a horse than an automobile, we hajp never heard of it, and drivers of these machines should use extra care when meeting teams.

Rensselaer people celebrated the 4th at various places, Fair Oaks, Water Valiev, Monon, Francesville and Goodland. The latter plaoe, of course, had the “big crowd” and they gave everything advertised, except the fireworks in the evening, which probably cost about $lO instead of S2OO. The high-diving horses were quite an attraction at Goodland, and it is said that between S2OO and S3OO was cleared on this feature alone. About $250 was the cost of getting the attraction there. The day was pleasant but warm, with a shower in the afternoon to lay the dust and cool the atmosphere for the home trip. During the five years of the present management of The Democrat four former lady typos of ours while at Remington have been happily married, while three young ladies employed by us here have also found good husbands; and atill another —perhaps two—if indications do not lie, will probably do likewise ere the end of the year. So many of our lady correspondents have been married that we have quit keeping tab on During the same period the Journal has had two typos to find husbands, but the Republican —sad to relate, but true —has not had one of its lady compositors marry for, 10, these many years! If the girls down there don’t go on a strike pretty soon we shall miss our guess.
