Miss Lessie Robinson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pad Robinson, living six miles west of town, was bitten by a rattlesnake last Tuesday afternoon, on the first finger of the right hand while in the act of picking strawberries. Her parents brought her to town in very quick time where she soon received necessary treatment to put her life out of danger, although her arm had begun to swell rapidly. She is at present at the home of her uncle, J. E. Tillet, where she is getting along encouragingly.— Francesville Tribune.

A. D. Soott of Indianapolis was in the city Monday and sold a carload of Orr’s “Mastic” wood fiber wall plaster, to Hiram Day, which will be nsed on Murray’s new building. This plaster does away with sand, lime and hair, comes already prepared and only requires mixing with water to be ready for use. It is said to be cheaper than other plaster and is highly recommended by those who have used it. Among the recommends carried by Mr. Scott is one from S. 8. Tull, postmaster of Monon, who used some of the plaster last year.

A fair example of what a “dry” town will do versus a "wet” one was explained to us by a prominent merchant of Fowler last week. Said he: “Since the saloons have quit business here my cash sales have been nearly two hundred dollars a month more than formerly, and as to my bad accounts, that is total losses by trusting out goods, have been nearly sixty per cent less than in past years. This state of affairs I can only explain by the faot that many laboring people who spent nearly all of their earnings for liquor and buying the necessities of life on time, oannot now get the liquor and are paving cash for the “necessities.” All dry towns are telling the same story,Brook Reporter.
