P lam now ready to fill orders for fine sorghum of my own make, in quantities of one to 100 gallons, at my farm near Egypt school house, Jordan tp. Wm. P. Michaels, R. R. 3. Remington, Ind. ' Monon’s street carnival is going on this week, and from all reports about the usual crowd following such attractions is in attendance. Wednesday night the day telegraph operator at Monon was stabbed in the breast by a man who made his escape, and may die from his wounds. The stabbing, it is reported, took place in a dance dance hall, and was occasioned by words over a woman. John Schanlaub deposited a half dozen fine large seedling pefiches and three pears of his raising on oar table Wednesday that are hard to beat for size and appearance. The peaches are the largest and finest we have seen this year, while the three pears weighed pounds and the largest measured 12J inches in circumference. John grows about section of the state. ' - « . , George B. Clark, an old and respected citizen of Remington, died Tuesday night and was buried there Thursday afternoon. * He had been a sufferer from a dropsical complaint for a great many years. E. B. Vondersmith, another old citizen of Remington who has been in a hopeless condition for several weeks, was reported here" to be dying Thursday, but we understood yesterday that he was still alive, although he could probably live but a few hours. Korah Dewitt, of Fair • Oaks, was down here Tuesday and helped the saloon keepers diminish their stock of booze. He became boisterous and “cussed” some people who were quietly sitting on their porch, while on his way to the depot to take the afternoon train, and refused to desist when the gentleman of the house requested him to do so. As a result he was hauled before Squire Irwin and given the usual “dollar and costs,” $11.55 in all, which he paid. Mr Meed S. Findley and Miss Emma Lubker, both of Brownstown, Ind., were united in marriage at the home of the bride’s cousin, Geo. F. Meyers, on South Division street, where she had been visiting a few days, at 7:30 I VVednesday evening, Rev. J. C. Ptfrrett, of the Presbyterian church officiating. The young couple left on the afternoon train Thursday for Indianapolis to attend the statb fair, after which they will return to Brownstown where they will reside. Squire Irwin had quite a hotly contested case on hand Saturday between A. B, Claspel and Edwin Stahl, arising over a gasoline engine trade. It seems the parties agreed to trade and later Stahl baok out, after Claspel had pulled up his engine. But the latter went to the Lute Hemphill shop where the Stahl engine was and took possession of it. Stahl sought to replevin it, but after hearing considerable evidence and the argument of the attorneys the court decided there had been a trade and Claspel could keep the Stahl engine. The latter threatens to appeal to the circuit court. There has been more drunkenness in Rensselaer this week than has been seen here for a long time, the boozers apparently filling their bides for the long dry spell that is soon to be inaugurated iu the city. As a result the police court has been kept pretty busy. The court aud officers want it understood that if it is the intention of the soaks to celebrate the closing days of the saloons here they will be compelled to pay dearly for the privilege, and every last man who loads himself up and is seen by the officers will be hauled before “His Honor” and ask to contribute to the state school fund. If they fail to observe this warning they have no one to blame but themselves.

Bert Armstrong, of Brook, was arrested by Constable Vick Saturday on a charge preferred by Andrew McKinney, of Kniman, and lodged in jail. Armstrong had been keeping company with McKinney’s sixteen-year-old daughter, and wanted to marry her, but the girl’s parents objected. Later it was found that it would be better to have the girl married, and iu order* to have the matter attended to'at once a warrant charging Armstrong with being responsible for her oondition was sworn out, The parents of the girl came down with her Monday and a license was procured and the marriage solemnized by Squire Irwin, the young man admitting the oharge ana being willing and anxious to marry the girl.
