ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

The Harrington livery barn at Goodland baa added an automobile to its vehicle outfit. An innovation indeed for a country town. Come and see me about your wagon and buggy work, either iron or rubber tires, I will do your work right and will make the price right. I do the work myself and have no rent to pay.

Oxford Tribune: Ott Keys' little son aged seven years was killed by lightning in Ambia Monday afternoon during the storm that passed over Benton county. The little fellow had been sent to the home of his uncle Thomas Dwire, only a short distance away, on an errand, and was returning home when the bolt struck him causing instant death. Fowler Leader: Thomas Burt, of Lafayette, was in Fowler Wednesday. The person who was awarded the contract of furnishing stationery to the county officers is not filling the orders. "The bondsmen are being called upon to supply the deficit and it is probable that arrangements will be made with the Burt-Terry Stationery Company to complete the contract. The Insurance Press for May states that the amount paid life insurance policy holders in this section of Indiana during the year 1904 was: Rensselaer, $6,262; Remington, $8,600; Goodland, $4,000; Hammond, $5,425; Kentland, $2,000; Lowell, $11,000; Medaryville, $7,551; Monticello, $3,500; Brookston, $4,000. One payment at Lowell, to Etta B. Sprindly, was for SIO,OOO. Estate of Abram R. Colbom, deceased, of Michigan City, was paid $29,689. H. T. Hoshaw, of Chalmers, and his hand, John Cleaver, were greatly relieved when they got to Chicago last week to be told by the doctors that they were in no danger from the mule bites they had received, as hydrophobia is not communicated to the human race by horses and mules. This, if true, is news to a good many people, including even some doctors, and it is strange that such matter-of-fact information is not kept on tap more generally by the profession.—Monticello Herald.

I never saw a girl who was unfaithful to her mother that ever came to be worth a one eyed button to her husband. It isn’t a guess; it is written large and awful iu the miserable life of a misfit home. My dear boy, if you ever come across a girl with a face full of roses who says as you come to the door, “I can’t go for thirty minutes, for the dishes are not washed,” you sit right down on the door-step and wait for her because some other fellow may come along and right there you have lost an angel.—Ex. One of Morocco’s citizens who has been the owner of a horse for a short time past, reports a rather remarkable experience in connection with it. It appears that through a mistake he fed it a quantity of poultry food, supposing it was Dr. Cureall’s condition powders, and the mistake was not discovered until the horse had scratched up half of his garden and showed signs of wanting to set. The story is being investigated by a committee of the Prevaricator’s club and an effort will be made to induce the gentleman to become a member of that organization. The town of Medary ville will be “dry” for two years as a result of a blanket remonstrance from White Post township filed last week. There are about 320 voters in the township and the remonstrators got 217 of these to sign the remonstrance, one of whom is alleged to be a saloon keeper of Medaryville whose licenes expires next January. The towns has had three saloons and the lioeuse of one expiros this week, another iu September and the third and last next January. Other towns in the county will attempt to follow Medaryville’s example, it is said. Trustee Phillips was down from Gillam on business Monday. Mr. Phillips said that there were quite a good many farmers in his township who had not planted yet, owing to the extreme wet. He drove drove down through the Gifford district and said that it was a picture of desolation—most everything drowned out. In Barkley township, outside of Gifford’s realm, however, he said that he saw many excellent fields of oats, in fact he never saw finer ones for this time of year. It is the general report that oats that were not damaged by high water are looking extra good and promise a big I yield. -
