FOUR CORNERS.

K. “W. Allen continues on the sick list. The Gilb.ransen Bros, are pressing nay for J. A. Hixson. Irwin Albin of Tefft visited over Sunday with relatives in Rensselaer. Frank Hart attended the I. O. O. F. lodge at Wheatfleld Tuesday night. Marion Sands has regained his health sufficiently to permit him to move this week. The two daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Marion Albin are quite sick at this writing. Herman Langdon and “Skeet” Hendrixson are tenting and duck hunting this week. Simon Fendlg is able to attend to business after three or four days of sickness the first of the week. Herald, the little son of W. S. DeArmond, who has been dangerously sick with lung fever, is reported better. Dr. Solt of ‘San Perre was called to see Goldia, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Wesner, Thursday, who was quite sick. Ernest Biggs ai}d wife of DePue, 111., visited over Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Biggs of near Wheatfleld. We hear that an effort will be made to obtain a saloon license by one of the Wheatfleld business men in the near future. Homer Fisher is working for J. A. Hixson this week, taking the place of the regular hand, John Stephens, who is sick. Harry Hibbs has moved onto a farm in Union township. He formerly occupied the Hollingsworth farm in Walker township. Col. H. Marble returned home Tuesday evening from Attica, where he has been taking treatment. He continues in very poor health. The Yeagjey child, so badly burned, is now with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Grover Smith, and is improving rapidly. He is in the care of a trained nurse, who came with him here. A few threats have been made against the one who was instrumental in closing the Tefft saloon. Take our advice and keep cool. You will soon realize that it is a blessing in disguise.

We were informed that there are forty indictments against the sa-loon-keeper (Burrows) at Dunn’s Bridge. They surely have made some mistake as there are only fifty-two Sundays in a year. Mrs. M. V. Sands, who received a severe and dangerous fall several days ago, in getting out of a wagon, was able to be taken home Tuesday. She is being cared for by her daughter Lydia, who is now a professional nurse. It is reported that one or two are contemplating the saloon business at Tefft, but are meeting with little encouragement from the business men of the place. The better class will be opposed to such a degree that no one will get a license to sell liquor in that town, is our guess.

Mrs. Perry Hodge and children of Rochester, Ind., who have been visiting relatives here the past week, returned home Wednesday. Her husband came Monday to accompany her home. Mr. Hodge is employed by the Baker Medicine Co., with headquarters at Rochester and informs us that he is doing a good business.

SURREY.

The saw-mill Is at worl^ Mr. Shirey is having some clearing done on his farm. The farmers are busy thinking about sowing oats soon. Duck hunting has begun—more hunting than ducks, we think. Joe Kosta was looking after some road business here a few days ago. C. EJ. Day is having another car of tile shipped here to improve his land. Hugh Brusnahan will have a public sale on the 18tn, to dispose of his personal property. Eli Stutzman of Arthur, 111., has been here moving the balance of his goods to that place. Mr. and Mrs. Levi Chupp went to Edinburg Saturday to make their sons Anson and Frank a visit. Marion Gant bought the church organ at the sale, but Mr. McCurtain didn’t go cu-snucks on that deal.

C. L. Parks has bought the Eli Stutzman place and will do some improving on the buildings, then the place will be for rent. .Chas. Pullins has. bought the Vaughn church building and seats. It will soon be taken down and converted into a dwelling. Now Charley, will you be good? Trustee E. P. Lane was seed driving along the mall route the other day with a new shovel by his side. We didn’t hear whether he found a job or not. Some of the phone lines still are in very dangerous condition, to the annoyance of the traveling public. Ed Lakin had a good young horse hurt Monday night by getting into a loose wire laying on the road. The cords of one hind leg were cut off, so he thought best to have the animal killed.

W. S. Lowman returned Sunday evening from Bangor, Mich., where he visited a few days with his brother Carey and also looking after the interests of his own farm, which is near his brother’s. « The shooting match here Wednesday was not a very big success on account of the weather. A few men were here and enjoyed themselves by shooting. Mell Griffin of Rensselaer was here with his hot lunch stand, but as most of the crojvd came in the afternoon he didn’t make very much.

HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.

Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol, Glycerine, Etc., Used as a Simple Wash. It really seems strange that bo many people suffer year in and year out with eczema, when it is now no longer a secret that oil of wintergreen mixed with thymol, glycerine, etc., makes a wash that is bound to> cure. Old, obstinate cases, It is true,, cannot be/cured in a few dayß, but there is absolutely no sufferer from eczema who ever used this simple wash and did not find immediately that wonderfully soothing, calm, cool sensation that comes when the itch is taken away. Instantly upon applying a few drops of the wash the remedy takes effect, the itch is allayed. There is no need of experiment—the patient knows at once. Instead of trying to compound the oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine, etc., in the right proportions ourselves we are using a prescription which is universally found the most effective. It is known as the D. D. D. Prescription, or Oil of Wintergreen Compound. It is made by the D. D. D. Co. of Chicago, and our long experience with this remedy has given us great confidence in its merits. B. F. FENDIG, Renssdlaer, Ind. The Democrat-for good work. I
