Walter Ponsler of near Mt. Ayr was in the city on business Monday. -He has Just traded his 320 acres of land there for a 480 acre stock farm in Whitley county, four miles of Columbia City and 16 miles of Ft. Wayne. A railroad runs within 16 sods of the farm but does not go through it. It is 1% miles to a shipping station. Walter is well pleased with the farm and expects to move upon it about March 1. \ George M. Babcock is home for a couple of weeks from Indianapolis where he is taking a course in linotype work at the Winona Technical Institute. While about to "back up” one of the machines to help clean it from a “spurt,” another student moved the elevator lever and George’s left hand was caught in such a way that the nail of the thumb was torn off completely and the end of.y6m thumb quite badly mashed, while the forefinger of the same hand was bruised somewhat. He was excused for a couple of weeks to recover from the injury. Twenty new galvanized iron garb; age cans were placed on the streets in the business part of town Saturday morning, and now instead of throwing sweepings, waste paper, banana peels and other like waste and filth in the street, people are requested to deposit same in these boxes or cans and the city garbage wagon will empty them and haul the trash away. The cans cost about 81.70 each and if they are taken care of and are generally used, they will no doubt prove a good investment and greatly improve the looks of our streets. - ■

About thirty-five guests were present at the marriage of Lucy May Wiltshire, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wiltshire of this city, to Gilbert A. 0- Albin, at her parent's residence in the east part of town, Sunday at 3 p. m., Rev. G. H. ' Clark perfosming the ceremony. The out of town guests were Mrs. Peter Giver and daughter Ruth of Wabash and Samuel Babb and niece of Monticello. Mr. and Mrs. Albin have already commenced housekeeping in the cottage owned by B. S. Fendig on Angelica street, between Van Rensselaer and Rutsen, which had been prepared for their coming for some days. Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Dwiggins of Ontario, Cali., are here to visit his sister-in-law, Mrs., Mary E. Thompson, for three or four days, when he is going to visit points in Ohio. Mr. Dwiggins was in business in this city many years and introduced the first typewriter ever in Rensselaer at that time a great curiosity. This machine was a Remington with a single keyboard and would write only capitals and figures. It was a number of years before this machine had any associates in the business houses here, and now there are no doubt fifty or sixty of these machines in use here and more are purchased each year. Mr. Dwiggins has retired from business. C. G. Spitler, wife and two daughters, Mildred and • Elizabeth, J. J. Montgomery and wife, F. B. Ham, wife and son and, James H. Chapman and wife and Thompson, wife, two daughters and son, started out Sunday morning in four automobiles to drive to Attica, just for a litle pleasure jaunt. Something got the matter with Thompson’s fire about two miles south of Rensselaer and he could not generate steam. The others went over to Remington and waited for him until noon, when Ee got in. But it was then too late to go to Attica, it was thought, and they went instead south to Mt. Gilboa, thence west and north through Goodland to Brook, visited Geo. Ade’s country home, and thence back to Rensselaer.

In correcting typographical errors in linotype matter the whole line is removed and a new line substituted, and one must be careful to get the line in its proper place and to lift out the old line. Failure to do this often makes the error worse than the original one. Occasionally such mistakes will get in, and of course they are annoying. One little local item in the last issue of The Democrat, where the wrong line was “lifted” caused such an error. It should have read: “C. W. Duvall and Charles Hemphill had a little set-to Tuesday evening, with honors about evenly divided. No arrests were made." Later, however, arrests were made, Mr. Duvall for assault, and on a plea of guilty a fine of $1 and costs was assesSed, $9.20 in ajl. Hemphill was arrested for provoke, but Duvall not appearing against hipa he was discharged. Scott Bros, have a fine line of single and double driving harness.
