T"March came in mighty nice anyway, whether it holds out good or not. ( Bessie Burk of Lamar, Colo., is here to attend the funeral of her affianced husband, Wayne Parker. has been in order this? 'week in the country, and the roads' have been lined with movers’ wagons. Mr. and Mrs S. C. Irwin have a new boarder since Tuesday. It’s a girl, and the finest one in town, Schuyler thinks. Mrs. Jesse Sayler and children anil Miss Clara Markin left Tuesday for Mitchell, So. Dak., where the former will join her husband who left with his oar of goods last week. A few Rensselaer friends and neighbors assembled at the home of Mrs. E. T. Jones, on south Scott street, Tuesday evening, Feb. 27, in honor of her o9th birthday anniversary. A nice luncheon was served, and all had an enjoyable time. Hon. John F. Johnson, an old and well known resident of Newton county and a former state representative from that county, and former commissioner and county treasurer, died at his home in Morocco last Sunday, at an advanced age. Mrs. Parker, who has been occuping the Smith Newell property*for the past year or more, will/ move back to her farm in Gillam tp., in a few days. A new house is now being built there to replace the one recently burned. Her daughters, Jessie and Fern will remain here until school is out at least.

The Democrat always keeps abreast, of the times with new type faces, printing material, paper stock, and carries the largest stock 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. W. A. Rinehart, son-in-law of ex-banker A. McCoy and whose connection with the defunct bank immediately after the failure has been freely criticised, was here Tuesday and Wednesday and rented his wife’s 2,000 aqres of farm and pasture land near McCoysburg to J. R. Philips and M. O. McDonald for the coming year. Rinehart went from here to Delphi, Wednesday afternoon, and expected to return to Missouri yesterday, he stated. Remember, that as usual The Democrat is prepared this* spring to print the best horse bills and cards of any print shop in this section of the state. More new type, horse and mule cuts have been added and all work of this character will hAve prompt and careful attention. Owners of stable horses will also find that it will be money well expended to advertise their horses through the columns of The Democrat, “the paper that everybody reads.”

Regarding the proposed C. I. & E. railroad plans, the Indianapolis News quotes John B. Carter, who seems to be at the head of the cdtapany, as saying that active operations would be begun about April 1 or just as soon as the weather becomes settled. He added that all the laborers that could be procured would be set to work. The promoters desire, it is stated, to have an army of 5,000 men in the field, so the work may be advanced with all possible speed. Francis M. Grant, an old resident of Newton township, died at his home a few miles west of Rensselaer Saturday afternoon, aged 79 years, 6 months and 1 day. He had been a resident of this county for 56 years. Several weeks ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis from which he never recovered. He leaves a wife, one son and three daughters. The funeral services conducted by Rev. D. T. Halstead, were held from the Church of God Monday afternoon and interment made in Weston cemetery. /Leon Landsdruf, an employe of 4he Knapp livery barn, was badly kicked by a horse while in the stall feeding it Monday morning, and has since lain in an unconscious and delurious condition. He was quite badly bruised about the chest and head, and it was feared a blood clot had formed on the brain and that he might not recover. He is probably about 35 years of age and came here with Mr. Knapp from Pennsylvania. He was reported considerably improved yesterday and it was thought he will soon be about again. ’ ‘
