Parties remitting for subscribtion to The Democrat will please remember that the paper is now sl.50 per year, and has been since June l. A few have made the mistake of sending the old rate of fl, the price when the paper was issued but once a week. In such cases a credit of eight months only has been entered up. f .Frank Haskell, the barber, bas been confined to the house a part bf the time this week from his injured limb, which he hurt several' years ago and has been giving him some trouble of late. Van Wood is assisting Dale Warner in keeping the hirsute appendages mowed down to a respectable degree during Frank’s confinement to the house. o Crown Point Star:—The John Brown barn will be covered with cement shingles, the first to be experimented with in Crown Point. They were made at the Crowell factory, and their wearing quality will be closely watched in consequence of the high price of wood shingles. It is quite necessary that some subsltute be found to take the place of wood, which is now of a poor quality and high in price. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Hammonds and four children, including their oldest son, F. Hammonds, of Lisbon, I No. Dak., who have been visiting relatives and friends here for the past two weeks, left Fair Oaks Wednesday for their home. Their stay here was cut short a little by a telegram that Mr. Hammonds’ 15-year-old son was seriously ill. A dispatch Wednesday stated that he was some better, but they .decided to get back home and look after him as soon as they could. Marion Goble, Mrs. Hammonds’ father, and his oldest daughter, Miss Ellen Goble accompanied them home and will likely make their home with them. If Bud keeps on prospering in the

future in North Dakota like he has the few yean he has been there, we may reasonably look for him to show up in a big touring car the next visit he makes to Jasper county. * At practically all the public sales held thus far this season property has sold a little under the prices of last year, we are told. This applies not only to horses and cattle but to farm tools and machinery. Just why this is so is not apparent. Of course the high price of feed no doubt has considerable to do with the decreased price for live stock at this season of the year, but why farm implements and machinery should also be effected is unexplained. Saturday afternoon, at a farmhouse about 2Vi miles south of here, while all the family were away, some hungry persons went in the house and helped themselves. The lady had left one apple pie and a half of one which had been left from dinner, on the dinning table, and all were eaten. They had used a knife to cut the pie. Had used one cup for coffee and two for milk. Had also been in the bread box. We know they were in two rooms and probibly searched the house. It is supposed there were three of them, as three drinking cups were used. xx MT. AYR. (From The Pilot.) Rev. Noland Is holding revival meetings at North Star.

The players are all local talent of Brook, and the play was twice given In their home town last week to large and well pleased audiences. Mt. Ayr is soon to lose another of her most estimable citizens, Mr. Walter Ponsler, president of The Bank of Mt. Ayr, and otherwise well known in the business circles, has traded his farm three mileß south of here for land near Columbia City, in tbe eastern part of the state! and will move to that city some time In January. Of the deal and Mr. Pansier, the Columbia City Daily Post in part says: “Walter i Ponsler, of Mt. Ayr, Ind., has closed a deal with Strauss Bros., of Llgonier, for the William Mowery farm of 400. acres, near Croesse, :in Union township, and will get possession of same the first of March, 1909. In addition to the 400 acres he has also purchased the Hartsock 80 acres, lying west of it, so that Mr. Ponsler now owns 480 acres in on 6 body. In the deal some Western Indiana land owned by Mr. Ponsler was exchanged for the Mowery farm'. Mr. Ponsler has rented the residence of Mrs. William Carr, on j West Van Buren street, and he will j move here in January and become a permanent citizen of the county. He will place a tenant upon his large farm and give the place considerable attention. He is a middleaged man, with a wife and one daughter. The Mowery farm is one of the best in the county as a stock and grain farm.” We are indeed glad to learn of Mr. Ponsler’s good fortune in securing a farm so highly spoken of, but we regret very deeply that the transaction will be the cause of us losing so good a citizen.
