“Richard the Brazen,” a high class serial, will soon appear in The Democrat. The revival meetings by Mrs. Leslie are still being conducted at the Firet Baptist ohnrch and are resulting in several conversions. Wm. Washburn was oalled to South Bend'yesterday by the serious sicki/ess of his brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Waßhburn, who are down with lung f S ver i. j Cal Cain, who has been runuing a pool room and barber shop at Lake Village for the past year or more, will return to Rensselaer for the winter at least if he can sell out at Lake Village. Wm. Dunn, formerly of Jordan tp., this bounty, who went to Larimore, No. Dakota, last spring, planted 40 acres of potatoes there this season oq shares. The yield was over 8,000 bushels and Mr. Dunn sold his share for 40 cents per pushel, realizing $1,400. Frank Welsh says no one bnt a Jordan township man could do this, however.

August Rosenbaum is suffering from a paralytic stroke that affects his right sidfl and has rendered him speechless. It i 3 thought he may have over exerted himself at the fire in their rooms over B. F. Ferguson’s office recently, as the paralysis begnn to creep over him a few days thereafter, and Saturday became so bad that be has since been confined to his bed.

This talk that promotors of the proposed Lafayette-Chicago electric line will now switch off through Wolcott because Remington refused to vote a subsidy, is the veriest kind of rot. If the road is ever built 'it will pass through Remington and Fountain Park and Rensselaer. No other route is practicable but this one, and it is silly to talk about revenge of this kind.

The Democrat acknowledges receipt of a copy of “The Legend of Grape Island and Other Poems” by VVill W. Pfrimmer, the “Kankakee Poet,” whose home is in Kentland. This is Mr. Pfrimmer’s latest book of poems and is deserving of a place in the best libraries. The Legend of Grape Island is particularly interesting anjshould be of especial interest to people of this section as the scene of the story is an island in the Kankakee river, in this county, where many of our readers have fished and bunted.

We wish to apologize for the beastly print on the The Democrat the past two issues. Some time ago we were persuaded by a smooth talking salesman, against our better judgment, to buy some of the ink sold by his house; it was so much better than what we were using an 4 the price was only a trifle higher than what we had been paying another house. Last week we opened a can of this “better” and Hbigher prioed ink, and it is tbV worst mess we ever had in the shop. The second can will never be opened by us and the whole mess will be shipped back next week, a keg of the former kind used having been ordered and will be on hand ready for use for our next issue. It is generally a good rule to not forsake old and tried friends, and we guess this applies to printing inks, judging from our-present experience.
