Misses Alta and Eva DeMoss, wbb have been visiting their sister, Mrs. Russel Baker of Barkley tp., left Tnesday for their home at Fairbury, 111. James Fletcher and family are moving here from Kentland into one of John Makeever’s tenant houses on Sodth Division street. Mr. Fletcher is the new clerk in the clothing department of. the Chicago Bargain Store. We sell you the same goods for less money or more and better goods for same money, besides give you beautiful premiums when your purchases amount to $5, $lO, sls and 125. Save the tickets you get with every sale, no matter how small your purchase; they are valuable at the 99 Cent Racket Store. It’s a strange thing what women do with so many clothes. According to the complaint in a divorce case just filed in the circuit court here a woman’s busband bought her $2.05 wortb-.of clothes during the period of their married life, six years and eight months! And now she wants a divorce from him for non-support! Boyd, the 13-year-old son of Sidney Holmes of Newton tp., was bitten on the small toe of his right foot by a rattlesnake .Thursday morning. The boy with his sister was picking grapes when he was bitten. Dr. Miller was called at once and the boy is getting along all right now, although the foot and lower part of the limb swelled considerably. An extensive traveler in automobiles over the highways of England, France and -United States is accredited with saying that Indiana roads—improved roads—beat them all. The England roads, he says, are fine, but are too narrow. Indiana’s improved roads are wider than the England roads and are much easier on auto tires. Owing to the poor health of Mrs. Hollingsworth who has looked after his squab industry a great deal when at home, E. L. Hollingsworth has gone out of the business temporarily, and shipped his birds, 800 pairs, away Thursday They wereshipped to South Haven Mich,, and Independence, lowa. He may stock up bis pigeon bouse again in the spring.

As a result of two freight trains trying to pass each other on the same track at horseshoe curve near Bedford Wednesday, the Chicago bound passenger trqin on that division of the Monoif which passes here at 3:30 p. m , did not go through until about 8 o’clock Wednesday evening. A number of freight cars were derailed and smashed up, and both engines were put out of service. The Democrat is informed from another high source that it is an invariable rule of the state pardon board, or board of parole, not to grant a parole to a convict so long as there are any other indictments pending against him. Therefore if the people of this community do not want Tom McCoy paroled, they should use their influence to see that the two cases still (fending against him in the Newton circuit court be not dismissed. Township trustee W. D. Martin of Beaver tp., Newton county, resigned bis office last week as be expects to Shortly move to New Mexico. Mr. Martin was one of the five democratic trustees of Newton and the resignation was made to the county auditor, who is also a democrat, and his son, Joseph A. Martin, was appointed to succeed him. - This leaves the trustees politically the same as before—five democrats and five republicans. Rt. ReV.H. J. Alerding, bishop of Fort Wayne, has just issued to the clergy of the Catholic church in this diocese an official letter calling attention to the fact that on Sept. 22, the diocese of Ft. Wayne will be fifty years old, and expressing the "earnest wish that some kind of celebration take place in your parish, and in all parishes and institutions of the oibcese.” It is left to each pastor to determine the precise day and manner in which the golden jubilee of the diocese will be celebrated. ’ * . - - - ■ ■ - Geo.
