The county commissioners met in regular session Monday, but not much was done the first day except allow claims, all of the recent general election expenses coming up this session of the board.

They were to play last night at Peru, but were informed that the town was practically quarantined on account of smallpox, and if they got in there they were not likely to get out soon. Therefore they played here again last night, at reduced prices, any seat in the house being but 25c. The Winamac Democrat-Journal says of Mr. and Mrs. Blanchard Elmore of Remington, whom, it seems are now in vaudeville work: “Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Elmore held the boards at the Isis theater on last Monday and Tuesday nights with their musical and play specialties, they especially delighted the audiences on the saxaphone and cornet, and in the accompanying play of the ‘Matinee Idol.’ Mr. Elmore equalled the great actors in his recitation as a Shakesperean character. Mrs. Elmore also sustained her part with charming simplicity and natural elegance.’’ ' . ’ Poultry Catalogues Now Ready.
