jMir. and Mrs. L. D. Carey of Monticello were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Williams Wednesday and Thursday and attended the rally at Geo. Ade’s farm Wednesday. John Kyapp has imagined that he had been been suffering from a mild case of flux, but Dr. J. H. Kannal, after a careful dianosls pronounces it an aggravated case of socialism. John will now know what to take to effect a permanent cure.

Frank White, a half-brother of C. C. Starr, and wife of Lafayette, stopped off here Tuesday evening for a few hours visit with Mr. Starr and Mrs. Wm. Barkley, who is recovering from a spell of sickness. They went to Brook next day to the Taft rally.

The creamery bridge was not got in shape as soon as had been expected, but on Thursday afternoon everything was ready to begin rolling it back into place, and Friday it was let down on its foundations and will be in shape to cross no doubt by the time The Democrat reaches its readers.

If the young lady who advertised in The Democrat recently for a lost bracelet marked with the initial “L” will call we can give her the name of the party who found it, a Wolcott lady, w'ho saw the ad in The Democrat and will mail the bracelet to her on receipt of her name and the proper postage.

Miss Jean Trussell is visiting her sisters at Forest, Mrs. O. B. and Thomas Wolfe. She writes her family that they do not know what dust is up here, as it is several inches deep at Forest and ?Nerything is literly covered with it. This condition is caused by the soil, all, or most of it at least, being clay. surprise party was given Fay Clarke, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Clarke, at the latters’ residence, in the west part of town Tuesday evening, in honor of his eighteenth birthday. About a dozen friends spent the evening with him enjoying the music and different games played. Refreshments were served about ten o’clock. All present report a fine time.

James M. Tanner of Bucklin,. Kan., came Tuesday for a week’s visit with relatives and old friends. Mr. Tanner says that four years ago he went to Kansas with S2O and bought a piece of school land on time for S6BO, meanwhile working at his trade, that of blacksmith. He sold this land recently for $3,200, and the crop last year made him $1,200, so that he has done very well since he went out there.

The seven fishermen who went fishing on election day in order to assist the republican candidate to a seat in the senate during the special session, returned Tuesday. They did not get as many fish as they intended to get when they started, but enough to make things pretty lively for their friends upon their return. Some pretty large cats were hooked, some of them weighing as much as nine pounds—more or less.

Uncle Joel Spriggs of Walker tp., was in town yesterday attending the Poince divorce suit, wherein he had tied the marital knot. Uncle Joel didn’t say whether he thought it was his fault that it came undone in two months and eleven days or not. and we are inclined to the opinion that it was not. The fact that the bride was 14 and the groom 4y7; that the bride weighed 90 pounds and the groom 240, may have had more to do with this case of incompatlblity that Uncle Joel’s work had. Jirtie & —Somes, the contractors who had the moving of the Washington street and creamery bridges, have captured two more jobs and will finish them before leaving here. One of them is moving a barn for Walter Porter, on his farm, the old James Ritchey farm, south of town, and the other raising a house for Conrad Kellner of this city. These gentlemen have given such universal satisfaction since they came here, in all their work, that their services will be in demand hereafter when anything in their 1 line presents itself. , \Ajeorge Ade did the wondering populace a great service Wednesday to giving a practical demonstration of the "full dinner pail’’ from a republican standpoint. A bun, a pickle, a small piece of meat, and a piece of pie in a five cent pall constituted the outfit, all for a quarter. A laborer working for $1.75 a day ought to become a millionaire in a few years under these conditions, and if, he would cut out his "eatln” altogether he should be able to acquire | that sum before the republican party have done cussing Hanty for callling the special session.
