A delicate tinted birth announcement reached The Democrat Saturday morning from Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Reynolds, of Chicago, announcing the arrival of an 8-pound girl at their home the day previous, April 14. Mother and babe are doing well, and Will is as proud as an earl. Chas. B.

Squire Troxell came down from Demotte Wednesday to visit a few days, and turn over the money collected by him on fines to the auditor and to resign as Justice of the peace. He has been in poor health all winter and is looking far from stong now. He expects to continue living at Demotte, hence his resignation as J'. P. here. A dispatch from Frankfort has the following mention of Prof. Hiatt, formerly of the Rensselaer schools: Twelve students of the high school were expelled because they played “hookey” in order to practice for the “meet” with the Kirklin school. They can return by making due apology. Prof. Hiatt threatens to interdict athletics entirely if the offence is repeated.
