SI.OO Per Year.

Why Do Country Boys Flock to Big Cities? ( v are short of young men. social and financial considerations he rushes off -fxuaem. *° the great city. Very frequently he finds that ho is lonesomer there thaji at home—nearly always so; and even more frequently he finds that riches do not grow on ten story walls. BUT STILL HE GOES TO THE CITY. In going there the boy simply follows his daddy’s dollars. For years his daddy and his mother and his big sister and his Aunt Mary Ann have been mailing their money to the big city for Mail Order bargains. Result: Home merchants don’t thrive, grass grows in the streets, no jobs are to be had, no opening for a new business, and the young man goes to the city because it is a place where people have traded at home and built up their own community and provided opportunities for outsiders as well as for themselves. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR BOY AT HOME BUILD UP YOUR TOWN SO THAT HE CAN BUILD UP HIS CAREER AMONG HIS HOME FOLKS.

HAD A BIG CROWD.

Sunday was a pleasant day, and about every able-bodied man, woman and child in Rensselaer was out to see the railroad bridge removed east of town and see the big Sternberg dredge cut through the Monon’s right of way. The work of removing the bridge was begun right after the milk train went north in the morning and was not so big a job as that of removing the piling on which tbe bridge rested. With the help of the dredge's big dipper and digging about the piling to considerable depth, however, this was finally accomplished and about midnight the cut was made and the dredge had passed through. All trains went around by Wilders until the bridge was' ra.placed, and the first train to pass over was the 8:30 p. m., train Monday. As the cut is not so deep from now on the dredge will make good progress if all goes well, and it will not be long until it reaches town.

AND IS STILL RUNNING.

Chief of Polioe George of Marion came here on Thursday of last week, on the lookout for one Ernest Bunker, who was wanted at Marion for horsestealing. Hiß man was located south of Remington, working for a farmer named Zinzer. With Reneselaer’s Nick Carter —sometimes called Lyman Zea —he drove over to Zinzer’sand concealed himself in the bouse to wait Bunker’s return, as he was out in the held. The latter, however, caught sight of the Marion officer on entering the house and made a successful break for liberty, followed by a few shots from the officer’s revolver. He is supposed to be still running.

Dr. C. K. Roberts will be at the Remington Hotel, Thursday, March 28, on his next regular visit, extracting teeth without pain or danger. Absolutely no harm can oome from the use of his great “Odontolone Method.”

LAYMON-HAYES.

Mr. Bert Laymon of Marion and Miss Mae Hayes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Hayes of Barkley tp., were married Saturday afternoon, by Rev. H. L. Kindig, in the county clerk’s office. The marriage is tbe culmination of a pretty romance. In April of last year Mr. Layman, a young traveling man, entered the Marion Normal College to finish a business course, and finding an opportunity to earn his tuition by washing dishes in the college dormitory, began such duty the second week of bis school work. There he found Miss Hayes, who, though not forced to earn her way through college, yet was doing the same as Mr. Laymon. A strong attachment sprang up between them and this friendship ripened into love. Miss Hayes returned home, a correspondence was kept up, and the young man having secured a position as book-keeper for the Big-4 Fruit and Grocery Co., of Marion they decided to get married, and will reside at Marion. The Democrat joins the friends of the bride in extending congratulations. YEOMAN-GRANT. Mr. Albertus M. Yeoman, son of Robert Yeoman of Newton tp., and Miss Amy R.

DISMISSED!

McCoy Cases at Honticeilo Stricken From Docket. PROSECUTION PROBABLY ENDED. Although There Are Still Two Cases Pending In The Newton Circuit Court. Friday’s Montioello Journal: The McCoy bank cases occupied the time of the court this forenoon. Mr. Alfred McCoy appeared in court and was arraigned before Judge Faber, on the charge of having received a deposit of $118.90 from Abram Leopold, when he knew his bank to be insolvent. McCoy plead not guilty but the Judge found him guilty and assessed a fine of double the deposit, or $237.80, which with the costs amounting to $267.75, was paid into court by the defendant at once. He was also arraigned on the same charge as to receiving a deposit of $91.35 from Chas. W. Platt. The fine in this case Amounted to $212.65. This was paid into court. Judge Farber then dismissed the other eleven indictments hanging over the two McCoys, father and son, which clears these cases from the docket of this court. There are still some cases at Hammond, which it is thought will be disposed of in the same way, and Alfred McCoy will be arraigned and found guilty in 1 one or two of them and the rest! will be dismissed. Some had thought that all the cases would be dropped but judge Farber was not willing for such a move. He felt that Mr. McCoy was guilty in having neglected to have kept a more careful oversight over the finances of the bank and that some punishment should be meted out to him.

TO FRIENDS OF THE DEMOCRAT.

When you have a legal notice, such as notice of appointment as executor or administratror, final settlement of estate, nonresident notice, notice of ditch or highway petition, or any other legal notice that the clients themselves control, be sure to instruct your attorneys to have the publication made in the Democrt, otherwise they will take it to papers of their own political faith. Remember The Democrat is fighting your battles and using its best efforts to keep down taxation, and it is your duty to assist it, at least when it costs you nothing to do so, as our prices are usually much iess for publishing legal notices than other papers, because they are set compactly, and are not “padded” out to make them as long as possible. Any favors shown us ig this way will be greatly appreciated, and we want again to urge you to be sure to instruct your attorneys to have such publications made in The Jasper County Democrat.

WANTS HONORS PASSED AROUND.

Kentland, Ind., March 21. —The resignation of H. M. Strohm as postmaster of this city has been forwarded to the PostmasterGeneral, effective October 1 of the present year. Mr. Strohm recently received his third appointment as postmaster of Kentland, but he protested against the third corncommission on the ground that he believed public favors should be passed around. Congressman Crumpacker insisted that he accept the place till such time as Mr. Crumpacker could give attention to the succession, and Mr. Strohm acted upon the suggestion.

AND STILL ANOTHER ONE.

0 Louisville Train Wrecked at Fair Oaks Wednesday Forenoon. The southbound Louisville train on the Monon was wrecked at Fair Oaks Wednesday forenoon, but as usual with the Monon wrecks, no fatalities occurred and not a passenger badly injured. The wreck occurred north of the station as the train was slowing down for to take the siding, and is thought to have been caused by the tender not striking the north switch squarely. The engine tender all the coaches were ditched and trains were detoured again via Wilders until evening when the wreck was cleared away. The trucks and platforms were torn off the coaches and some of the coaches were tipped partly on their side. The fact that the train was slowing down to take the siding to allow the north bound Cincinnati train pass, only prevented greater damage and propable loss of life.
