It is a real mean trick for a young man to put a bunch of smaU chickens on the Xmas tree for a lady. That is what I call a peeping mean trick. John D.

They intend to make this the cap-sheaf of the entire number that has been held. Let all,come. Tbe young folks of neighboring towns are cordially invited. A. G. Hendryx has invented a cattle guard, which for usefulness is far ahead of the ones now in use. With his in use, it would be absolutely impossible for a horse, cow or hog to get from crossing onto right of way. It is one of the* finest things in that line ever made. We wish Mr. Hendryx abundant success in the inventors’ world. OBITUARY. Charles W. Shade was born April 24, 1876 and died Jan. 12, 1904, age 27 years, 8 months and 18 days.

They held their meetings in the new opera bouse over Nolan's blacksmith shop. The wolf hunt on Tuesday in the southeast part of Jasper was a failure as they did not have a sufficient number of men on their south line. Another party is being organized to start out soon ana we wish them success, as they deserve it. Tbe interest in the Milroy church stilt continues. Two new candidates for membership were accepted Sunday evening at tbe regular services. The Baptist minister, Rev. Marrow of Wolcott, will assist Rev. Fertich in a series of meetings at the M. E. church in Lee, commencing to-morrow night. Last Sunday evening we noticed a couple coming in churcn when the services were about half over. On inquiring we found that it was Fred’s first trip and he did not know the way to her home, and consequently got lost going over. After wandering around several hours and opening every gate in southern Milroy, a friend put him on the right track and he reached there. We see now the truth of the old sayidg “Better late than never.” and we congratulate Fred on his perseverence. No one was more pleased to hear from the depths of the deep “Blue Sea’’ than their South America sister cor. We had not seen any of you for so long we thought you were not in the land of the living any more but last week’s issue of The Democrat proved to us the contrary, and great is our delight.

We teel so sorry for “Benny” as we know of a certain young lady who was anticipating much pleasure in attending. \ “Of all sad words of tongue or pep. Tbe aaddest are these. It might have been.*’
