The weather yesterday was once more a little spring-like, and it is to be hoped that we will have some growing weather now. Capt. J. W. McMurray, aged 68 years, died at his home in Francesville last week of pneumonia. He was a prominent citizen of that community. ■V """ ■ Mrs. George Blystone of Frankfort visited over Sunday with Mrs. Fred Yelter. Also, Mrs. Jacob Wright of Michigan City, is spending a few days with Mrs. Yelter. 'KFrank Donnelly has torn down tpe old sheds back of his residence and will erect a fine new barn and garage. He expects to buy an auto soon. Several carloads of fertilizer has been shipped in here this spring, Stephen Kohley of southeast of town, who is acting as agent for one firm, having received six carloads Friday. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Hayes of Marion came up Thursday evening for a few days visit with relatives and old friends. Mr. Hayes does not like city life very well. Jerry Seese, who has since their opening been employed as operator at the Princess theater, has resigned his position to take charge of a girage at Oxford. Jerry Karnatz has taken Seese’s position here.

Miss Ora Evaston of Butler, Ind., returned to her home yesterday after spending a few days with Miss Leatha Wright Miss Evaston taught in the same school with Miss Wright at Raton, N. M. The four months old baby of foce Porter is seriously sick with bowel trouble. The babe has not been well since birth, and the three physicians who have been called in consultation on the case can offer little hope for his recovery. sLI. A. McFarland & Son have moveOheir grocery into their new quarters in the Williams building, formerly occupied by Wright’s furniture store. Read' their Invitation to visit them, on last page of today’s Democrat. Boaz Evans, who makes his home with Joseph Adams of south of town, suffered a paralytic stroke early yesterday morning from which it is doubtful if he rallies on account of old age, being nearly 71 years old. N. S. Bates and daughter, Mrs. W. J. Wright, went to Indianapolis yesterday to attend the funeral of the former’s brother, Dr. J. W. Bates, mention of whose death at. Broad Ripple, Ind., is made elsewhere. Dr. Bates, it will be remembered, visited here with N. S. Bates several days last summer.

B. S. Fendig, the junk dealer, has added several hundred tons of old, scrap iron to his junk pile here recently, and now has over 2,000,000 pounds on hand here which he is, holding for a rise in price. If Joe Cannon, et al, will tack on a little more tariff Ben can make a big lot of money out of - his junk pile. Advertised letters, Mr. Marval Ford, T. Pickner, B. A. Vess, M. A.

Dr. A. F. Turfler was in> Indianap- J oils Saturday to attend the semi- < annual meeting of the Indiana Os- I teopathlc Association. Dr. Turfler * read a paper before the meeting on < the treatment of stomach troubles. J Dr. Franklin Fiske, who has charge < of Osteeopathic Technique of the J American School of Osteopathy at < Kirksville, Mo., was one of the I principal speakers at the meeting. Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Miller left J Saturday for Rossville where they * will visit for a couple of weeks be- ! fore the doctor goes to his new lo- ‘ cation. The Democrat has a tip ! that the doctor’s new location Is not J far from Remftelaer; but he is not < making the name-of the place public ! as yet for fear some other physician < will get in there ahead of him, as J he takes the place of a doctor who * retires. J Friday evening was the last op- ' portunity to file mortgage exem- ' tions from taxation for this year. * An even 1,100 were filed, or just ! twenty-four more than last year. ' There were people that took advan- < tage of the same this year that have ! carried mortgages ever since the ' law went into effect, but either ' were ignorant of such a law or were too careleees to think to take ad- ! I vantage of the same heretofore. ' Monticello Journal. <
