King Chamberlain of Newton county was in the city Wednesday on business. He wae ready to plant corn this week, but the rain settled it for a while. The republicans*. of tbe PulaskiStarke circuit court have re-nomin-ated Judge Nye for circuit Judge. W. C. Penticost of Knox is the nominee for prosecutor. Nagel reports pretty high water in the Iroquois in bottoms southwest of town. It has about two and one half feet to go before it is as high as it was last winter. The sun came out brightly yesterday and the indications were as we went to press that the rain was over, although weather reports for to-day are “showers in north por tion" of Indiana. It is reported that Squire Bussell of McCoysburg was in the city Thursday to get a pair of hip beots for his cornplanter. The Squire threatens to do a little corn business in the near future rain or shine. An East Chicago paper states that Attorney John Westfall has been appointed city attorney for the town of Whiting. Mr. Westfall was formerly of Remington and worked for the writer there two or three years at the printer’s trade. Success to you, John. The Democrat was in error last week in stating that an execution had not yet been issued on a precipe of $149.09 against Abraham Halleck, the republican candidate for state senator—the execution, according to the execution record, was issued April 30. r Uncle David Nowels, whose health in recent weeks hap concerned his many friends and relatives, has so far recovered as to be able to get out of doors on nice days, and it now seems that his ambition to vote for one more democrat for president will be realized. Alfred Peters, south of town is another Marlon tp. farmer who is going into the catalpa growing quite extensively. He has 9,000 young trees to set out as soon as the ground gets dry enough to work. Arnold Luers, of the same neighborhood, has set out 1,000 trees.

Little Hallie was just recovering from measles and j this with Bright’s disease proved too much for her weakened constitution. The funeral was held yesterday at the home of her parents, Rev. J. C. Parrett officiating. Burial in the Brown cemetery, Barkley township. F. E. Babcock and son George were in Indianapolis Monday where the latter entered the Winona Technical Institute to take a full course in the Linotype department. The course is eight weeks, and linotype operators receive all the way from sls to S2O per week in the country print shops and $22 to $25 in the city shops, and is one of the best trades in the country. When he finishes his course George wilt assist in operating The Democrat’s linotype. \C. C. Warner has bought of E. D.’ Rhoades the north tenant property of the latter on Front street, which now stands vacant, and will make some repairs thereto and has rented It to Bert Hopkins.

Mr. Rhoades also owns the property immediately * south, now occupied by Aaron Hickman, and is thinking of building a new house there this season for his son Leonard. • Subscribe tor The Democrat.
