Vp. H. Zea of Atlantic Highland, with his bride, formerly Miss Dorothea Louise Werner of Brooklyn,, N. Y„ has been visiting relatives in Monon and elsewhere in this vicinity the past week. 'W Ir George Heil and Miss „Ada Huber, both of Wheatfield township, were maaried at Monon Wednesday and returned to Wheatfield Thursday. Thursday evening about sixty Wheatfleldians surprised them at their home on the Jessup farm with an old-fashioned charivari. J\Geo. W. Goff has sold his restaurant business to Van Grant, who will take possession Sunday night, May 3rd. Mr. Goff has been in the restaurant and hotel business here for 22 years, and retires only because the incessant work day and night have told on his health, and for the last four months he has been scarcely able to take care of his business. He does not intend leaving town but as yet has made no plans for the future. Joseph L. Mendenhall, deputy sheriff of Danville, Ind., came here yesterday and arrested Earl Gray, a paroled prisoner wanted for forging a check for $125. Gray brought his wife and child here some weeks ago and they have tenanted on a farm in Gillam township. Gray was sent up for larceny to serve from one to five «years, was paroled and got himself into trouble within thirty days afterwards. He has no relatives living in this part of the country.—Francesville Tribune. jtWm. M. Hoover, south of town,

ie preparing to build one of the finest horse barns in Jasper county. It will have a* cement wall two feet thick all around for the foundation and the entire lbwer floor will be of cement. It will have a Mansard roof, guttered, etc., and when completed will be, it is said, the best and most convenient horse barns in the county. He will also remodel his cattle bqm and build a new corn crib* 32x48 with cement floor and ten foot driveway through the center. Here it is May, and that "excursion” to Hallett, Oklahoma, where several of our citizens bought lots last winter, has not been run yet. The visions of a Pullman palace car trip to the Oklahoma Eldorado, that were so alluringly painted by the agents who sold the lots here, seem to have vanished and gone, and the purchasers seem to have none the best of those who “bought” Canadian lands a few years ago. Mr. E. Z. Mark seems to have a whole lot of near relatives in Rensselaer. This has been a busy week for the Rensselaer lodges. Monday evening the I. O. O. F., celebrated the 89th anniversary of their order at their lodge rooms, at which refreshments were served and a very pleasant time enjoyed by all. Tuesday evening the K. of P’s. entertained some 35 members of the Remington K. of P. lodge, at which work in the third degree was done by the visiting lodge, after which a fine supper was served. Thursday evening the Royal Arch Masons gave a blow-out, at which some 30 members were present and two candidates were exalted to the sublime degree. A fine supper was served and a most excellent time enjoyed by all. Any person who has concluded that there is no wild game in this country can disabuse his mind by spending a morning near McCoysburg. The booming of the prairie chicken, the song of the thunderpumper, and the shrill note of the “rail,” will remind him of the times when, with pants rolled up so high that they would roll no higher, he hunted birds’ eggs, and was occasionally chased by a young pumper, or scared almost out *of his hide by a drove of muskrats swimming through the water-grass at the rate of 15 miles a minute, more* or leas. Those were times when the beys had fun and they didn’t need any “terbacker” either, to dwarf the stature or cloud the intellect. Boys now don’t know anything about fun. We have put out in the past few months several hundred of The Democrat’s Wall Charts, nearly fifty going to subscribers in other states, and in not a single instance have we had a word of complaint—everyone has been well pleased with them and scores of people have written or told us they were worth double the 35 cents additional asked for them. Read the description of them on another pagq and it you come to townWUln) and see a sample chart. You will want one when you/ know what they are, and the supply now on hand will not last long. When these are gone we shall not get any more, as the publisher* have recently raised the price on them and we had to get these in 600 lots in order to put them out at the price we have, 35 cents additional to the regular subscription price of The Democrat.
