The Democrat’s job department, turned out a job this week that went to Goldfield, Nevada. The job weighed 35 pounds and was shipped by express, the express charges being between five and six dollars. Yet the work cost the parties considerably less than they could have gotten it dore for in .that locality. It is the opinion that the firm of Baldwin & Dague will not be judged bankrupt. Every creditor accepted the ten per cent, dividend. Those best informed are certain that there will be enough property to pay out. It will take some time to realize on some of it, but they express their belief that it is good. Fowler Leader. The name of J. L. Moorman of the Starke County Republican is being strongly talked of as the proper man to succeed the late Congressman Brick in the Thirteenth district. He is the. present district chairman there, and if a republican must be elected we know of no one more worthy to bear the honor than Bro. Moorman. Goodland Herald: Col. Spoor, our former banker who put the Goodland bank on its feet here years ago and afterward sold out, has again gone into the banking business. The bank in which he is interested is the Citizens State Band at Elwood, Ind., one of the leading banks of the city. He has been elected vice-president of the institution. Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Garriott of Hammond are here for a couple of weeks’ visit with the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Leach, and other relatives and friends. Orville says the labor conditions in Hammond are something fierce, there beings so many idle men in that locality by reason- of shutdowns and reduction of working forces in the factories. T. F. W. and S. A. Austin and sevJral others from the vicinity of Wheatfield were down Monday on business, principally on the Grover Smith ditch matters. F. W. Austin spent the winter at Hypoluxo, Fla., and has bought a 15-acre fruit and vegetable farm there. He is much taken up* with that country and expects to locate there permanently as soon as he can dispose of his holdings here. * > Lwhile practically all the oats hive been sown on the tiled and higher ground in this county, there are thousands of acres yet to be sown in the northern part of the county and in other totalities where the land is not well drained. This has been a very wet spring for the farmers to get into their fields, and especially so in the north part of the county where the ground has been thoroughly soaked all spring. Work on the Hoagland ditch is progressing nicely. The smaller dredge is now right on the south line of Princeton township. The big dredge is one-fourth of a mile west of the Monon railroad and just entering on the biggest cut on the ditch. This cut is about threefourths of a mile long. When it is completed the dredge will then be going down the hill to the river for the next four miles. —Monticello Journal. Uncle Felix French writes us from Hutchinson, Kan., in renewing his subscription to The Democrat, and says: "I see -that my subscription expired on the 14th and I don’t want to miss a copy, as it is a welcome visitor to our home. We have had a fine spring, but very little rain. Wheat and fruit is a fine prospect. Best of all I went to hear W. J. Bryan speak the other day. With best of good wishes to all, I remain as ever your friend,” etc.
