Tell your neighbor if he wants to subscribe for The Democrat, here is his chance to not only get it a full year for SI.OO, but the Farm and Fireside, a leading farm and poultry semi-monthly, of Springfield, Ohio, is now being thrown in for good measure to new subscribers. This offer will last but a few weeks more. It is rumored that a newspaper will be started at Mt. Ayr soon. We don’t understand why “J. Bowie” has not extended the protecting wings of his Kankakee Valley Review over Mt. Ayr long ago. All he would have needed would have been a Mt.

The Democrat always keeps abreast of the times with new typefaces, printing material, paper stock, and carries the largest stook of ruled headings, envelopes, cards, flat and typewriter papers, print paper, etc., of any print shop in the county, and employs •none but the best of printers. Give us a call when in need of anything in the job printing line. ~t-T. A. Crockett moved to town Monday from southeast Marion, and occupies the John Greenfield property on the corner of Scott and Cedar streets, and will enjoy the fruits of his years of toil on the farm. The' farm Tom left — which he has now rented to his son George—he had resided on for fifty-four years. This is a recdrd that can be equaled by comparatively few people _in Jasper county. Memories: “Don’t you remember the old days back on the farm when the sun kissed the dewy grass at mom and at night the lowing kine came tinkling in from the pasture?” “Sure, and I also remember that I went down to the barn long before the sun bad kissed anything, and that when the lowing kine were not caressing my freckles with a damp tail they were putting their feet in the milk pail. Are you from the country?” Candor forced her to confess that she bad merely read about it.

Brook Reporter: The directors of the Newton & Jasper County Mutual Telephone Association met in the Murfitt hall Saturday afternoon and adopted by-laws to govern the association. They expect that it will be at least three or four weeks before actual work will commence on placing the poles and erecting the lines. At present they are not soliciting any subscribers, but are adding any who come in. as they have a sufficient number to place the association on a good working basis. The number of subscribers at present is nearly four hundred. It is the intention of the directors to purchase the best of ’phones and string heavy wires. Francesville Tribune: A subscription paper was circulated one day last week for the relief of Luther Watson and family, whose residence was burned in Gillam. J. J.

Tillet obtained $26 in Gillam, making a total of $161.95, for which the solicitors wish to thank the doners for their generosity. The ladies of Gillam also deserve much praise for their assistance in securing clothing for the family. At last reports the mail order bouses of Chicago hadn't donated anything.

JOHNSON-HITCHINGS.

A very pretty home wedding occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hitchings of Jordan tp., on St. Valentine’s day at noon.

The ceremony was followed by an elegant dinner. Miss Birdie Hitchings, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and Mr. Johnson, brother of the groom, was groomsman.

CLEVELAND THEATRE, CHICAGO.

The engagement of W. S. Cleveland by the International Theat. rical Company to handle the Chicago house at Wabash avenue and Hubbard Court, and its other business here, created a mild sensation. The deal with the “vaudeville wizard” is considered a cotlp by the leading men of the profession throughout the country. President John Considine of the International Company and Mr. Cleveland closed the deal in New York City, the latter coming direct to Chicago and assuming control. The change means much to patrons of vaudeville, as Mr. Cleveland is acknowledged the theatrical profession’s hardest worker and without an equal in assembling the premier performers of the world. He has the faculty of providing vaudeville shows just a little better than those presented elsewhere and his return to the field will meet the approval of his millions of friends and patrons. Theatre goers will remember the high grade attractions at Cleveland’s Theatre, and Mr. Cleveland who became famous for his “original greater vaudeville,” announces that the quality of those entertainments will be excelled under his regime at the Cleveland-Inter-national Theatre, the safest, largest and most comfortable theatre 'ln Chicago, which has been rebuilt and redecorated at an expense of $50,000. Bargain matinees will be given every Monday and prices for ladies and children will be 10c for best reserved seats. On other days the matinee will be 10, 15 and 25c, the entire first floor being reserved at 25 cents. Evening: Gallery, 10c; balcony and first floor, 25, 35 and 50c, with a few choice orchestra stall and box seats at 75c. Two big shows every day.

Cuban Land.

I am not a land agent, but I can tell you where I bought land last year that has already increased in value 150 per cent. This is because thousands of Americans are investing there, building railroads, sugar, mills, saw-mills, and other things necessary to develop a new and fertile country. Land that is producing SSO to 175 clear profit per acre yearly in sugar cane. Land that is producing $750 per acre net profit yearly in ordinary cocoanuts. Land that is producing #4OO per acre yearly in oranges, lemons, pineapples and bananas. Land where rich grass grows higher than a horse's back, and on which cattle fatten with no other food, ready for the block. Land with a perfect climate, cooler in summer than it is in Indiana, with no frosts, and plenty of rainfall. Richer land than yon ever saw. unless you have been there. Land covered with forests of great commercial value, such as mahogany, sabicou, juiqui, etc. I can introduce you to a man who makes a practice of backing these statements up with his pocket-book—he will give any responsible party his certified check for S2OO, and if this party should, upon investigation, find any of these statements untrue, he shall go to the bank and get his S2OO, which pays his expenses and leaves 150 for his time; but if everything is as represented he shall hand the check back, and he will buy land, all he can pay for, just like I did. This won't last always, and "the early bird,*’ etc. Parties going to Cuba every month. If you want to know more, see me, or write.

Rensselaer. Ind. E. J.WILCOX, His Invention Was His Death. Lawrenceburg, Ind., Feb. 23.—Warren Mitchell invented a device intended to prevent loss of life on thin ice. The device consisted of a light framework to l>e fastened alx>nt a skater’s body and extending three feet on each side. Mitchell took his contrivance to Tanner's creek to test it. While skating his foot came in contact with an obstruction and he was thrown headlong up6n the ice. The ice gave way and the upper part of his laxly went under' water. The device about his waist hampered him so that' he could not raise himself up and when taken from the water he was dead. And All on Account of a Girl. Kokomo, Ind., Feb. 23.—Arthur and Otis Maple, brothers, quarreled over a girl both were wooing. Otis then swallowed poison with suicidal intent. Arthur rode to town for a physician.
