Let the good work go on. Nearly a score of replies have already been received from all parts of the country, to the ad in last week’s Democrat of a farm band wanted. The advertiser instructed us to run the ad three times, and we shall follow instructions if we have to hire an extra man to answer the numerous inquires. Advertising in The Democrat brings results.

Advertisers should not lose sight of the fact than as an advertising medium The Democrat is unequalled. No other paper in the county has such a large circulation, and no other paper is read so closely. The best people in Jasper county are its patrons. Its advertising rates are reasonable, and merchants will be benefitted by advertising in its colutns.

The “publisher” of the Which Is It Review thinks The Democrat is jealous of his “500 subscribers” in Northern Jasper. Not a bit of it, John. But perhaps one could arrive nearer to the facts of the actual number by dividing that 500 by 5. It will be noticed that the “publisher” also states in the same column that he has over 400 subscribers at Wheatfield alone. Can it be that he has the modesty to claim only 100 more in all of Northern Jasper? Mr. Frank W. White, a musical director and teacher of violin, has permanently located in our city and is now ready to receive scholars at his home on North Front street.

He also 2 lies mandolin, guitar, etc. r erner Miller has sold his 80 farm two miles southwest of town to Henry Eiglesbach, and is prospecting up in Wells county this week. The consideration was S7B per acre. He decided that he did not want to buy in North Dakota, but will probably purchase in Indiana. The eighty sold was a part oLthe old Eiglesbach farm, and Henry owned the other eighty. He will leave the J. M. Wasson 715 acre farm southeast of town which he has fa rmed for the past nine years and move onto his own farm next year and make some improvements to the buildings, etc. He gets possession of the Miller eighty Feb. 1.

The revival meetings at Milroy Baptist church closed Tuesday evening. Rev. Bair of the First Baptist church did most of the preaching and effectually sang a number of solos. The meetings were of great profit to the church and a good number of substantial members were received into the church. Dr. Rose M. Rem mek, optical specialist, will make her next regular visit to Clarke’s Jewelry store, Sept. 26-30. The eye is a delicate organ. Correcting its defects should be done by one having full knowledge of its anatomy and diseases, a thorough college and clinical training and extended practice. Fraser Thomas and Abram Burkhalter, two prominent Carroll county farmers, and M. M. Murphy, druggist, James Shirk, banker, and Victor Ricketts of the Delphi Journal met with an automobile accident Thursday morning near Monticello in which the four former gentlemen were quite badly injured. Shirk lost control of the machine and it ran into a deep ditch, throwing the occupants out with great violence. AU will recover. The machine was wrecked and banker Shirk says his auto days are over. J. P. Sherman, of Chicago, was here the first of the week and got an order from the court giving him the custody of the two children that were formerly given to Mrs. Sherman when her divorce was granted here a few years ago. Mrs. Sherman has since married a Georgian by the name of Herbert Askew. The girl Mabel was staying with a sister of Mr. Sherman’s in Chicago, and last Friday some woman called at the house and Mabel left with her. Since then Mr. Sherman has been trying to find the child, and, of course, as usual, has made a great hullaballoo about it. The Chicago papers have published pictures of the girl and her mother, who it is supposed came up from Georgia and took the girl home with her.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Sarah Bringle was born October 26, 1839,- in Harrison county, Indiana. She and her husband moved to Jasper county, Ind., in 1866, where she has ever since resided. She departed this life Sept. 19, 1905, at the age of 65 years, 10 months and 25 days. She was the fourth in a family of sixteen children, born to the union of Christian and Rhoda Flock. She was married to Wm. L. Bringle, December 3, 1858, from which union were born seven children, of whom all but two survive her. She became obedient to the faith of the gospel thirty years ago; united with the Church of God, and was ever faithful to her vows and died in triumph of a living faith in Christ. The funeral service was held at the home, Sept. 20, conducted by Eld. D. T. Halstead, of the Church of God The unusually large assemblage of neighbors and friends from far and near, fully attested how greatly she had won their esteem and affections by her ever kind and gentle disposition, and her upright, pure and noble life. After years of illnei s so patienly endured, “she fell asleep” and was laid to rest in the cemetery so near her home, until He who is the Resurection and the Life shall call her forth.
