Tickets sold for regular trains of this date, good returning on all regular trains up to and including special train leaving St. Louis Sunday, Sept. 25, at 8:20 p. m. The careless use Of slingshots by the small boys of the city will cost some one serious injury if it is uot stopped. The other uight some boy “shot” Sheriff O’Connor with a B. B. shot just as he was entering the postoffice and tbe shot barely missed one of hie eyes, raising a lump on the side of the nose as large as a pea. Edward Debo, the Remington man who bargained for the R. B. Porter and Donnelly farms north of town several weeks ago and later went back on the deal and purchased a big farm near Wolcott, has disappeared from home, it is said and his whereabouts are unknown. Robert Parker of Remington has been appointed temporary guardian for him. He is supposed to be mentally unbalanced.

Frank Gillilan, representing the Burchard Hulburt Land Co., of St. Paul, Minn., and C. J. Dean, the local agent for said company, returned Sunday from taking a party of landseekers up in the Red River Valley. The sales made this trip aggregated 3,040 acres. We understand that Henry and Conrad Hildebrand each bought a quarter section, but do not expect to go on it for another year at least. Brook Reporter: The little Thurlow boy, who had his leg nearly amputated in a mowing machine a few mouths ago, was operated on this week. In healing the tendons refused to unite and the leg was practically useless, so the surgeons opened the wound on Tuesday and stitched the tendons together again and it is thought that in time he will have fall use of the limb. It was almost a seven day wonder that the limb was saved at all. Does advertising pay? Well, tbe party who found the lost pocketbook advertised in The Democrat Saturday came in the same day tbe paper was out and said that he had found tbe lost property, and Monday a gentleman from Newton tp., drove west of Remington to buy some Shropshire sheep advertised in the same paper. Advertising in The Democrat, whick circulates largely all over this county, does bring results, and if you don’t believe it, give it a trial. Shelby Grant and T. A. Crockett have been enjoying a visit together at the latter’s home southeast of town. It is the first time Shelby had been at Tom’s place since a pionic there in 1865 which was held for a reception to the soldiers returned home from the war. That they had a great visit goes without saying. Both are old settlers of the oounty and were schoolmates together, went to the war in 1862 and served in the same company. They bare attended many reunions together but say they had the best time recently at Moroooo of any. It is said that Shelby Grant has more old relics than anybody, and it is very interesting to view the collection he has. Come to The Democrat office for all kinds of job printing.
