ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

Get in on that Piano contest of The Democrat’s. Mr. and Mrs. Jessie Snyder spent the fourth with relatives in Logansport. Good woolen Pants at the Ideal from SI.OO to $2 00. They are easily worth double the money. Do not forget to attend the Wildberg Clothing Sale. Remember that wool goods of all kinds will be higher than for years the coming season and it is money in your pocket to buy all you can at once. In the 4th of July races at Lafayette, Billy Smith, the Rensselaer horse, took first money in the 2:23 trat. Max, Ault. Padgett’s horse, took fourth money in the 2:25 trot. Louise, Wm. Smith’s horse, took third money in the 2:25 trot and lost in the 2:23 trot. Delos Thompson’s horse, Ester Van, won no money. It is reported that the fellows who are alleged to have run the “booze wagon” at Fair Oaks the 4th are boasting that they bought up the prosecuting attorney and his deputy. It is up to these officers to disprove the charge by going after the guilty paities. There has never been a celebration of the 4th of July at Fair Oaks in our memory but what intoxicating liquors is alleged to have been sold in utter disregard of the law and the officers who are elected to punish such offences. It is time the business was made both unpopular and unprofitable. Anson Chupp, who for the past eight years has clerked in the grocery department of the Chicago Bargain Store, will move to' Edinburgh, Johnson county in a few weeks, where be has bought a notion and grocery store. Edinburg is 30 miles southeast of Indianapolis, aud has a population of about 2,500 people, and has both steam and electric railroads. By his strict attention to business, economy and good habits, Anson has saved up considerable money for a voung man and has won the confidence and esteem of the people of Rensselaer and the farmers upon whom he has waited for several years. The Democrat unites with the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Chupp in wishing them lots of success in their new venture.
