Barkley M. E. Minister in Lively Runaway.
Rev. Petty of the Barkley M. E. church, met with quite a disastrous runaway Saturday forenoon. He was driving to Rensselaer with his sister, Mrs. Jessie Snow, of Kokomo, who had been assisting him in revival services, and who was going to take the train for her (home. When within a quarter of a mile of the corner near Jud Adams’ farm they met some boys with a couple of dogs. One of the dogs lunged at the horse, frightening it, and it started to run, the dog taking after it. At the corner turning south the buggy was upset and the occupants thrown out. Both were considerably bruised, Rev. Potty’s right shoulder being quite badly
A HOME-COMING CHRISTMAS EDITION V Of The Democrat Will Be Issued Soon, Containing Letters From Many Former Residents of Jasper County. The Democrat expects to issue a Christmas Home-Coming Edition soon in which we hope to have a large number of letters from former residents of Jasper county who now reside in other states. These letters will be of interest to all of their former relatives and friends still residing here, as well as to every reader of The Democrat, no matter where he is located. This edition will 'be published either on Dec. 19 or 23, depending somewhat on the receipt of the letters, requests for which were recently mailed, and the time necessary to put them in type. We believe that this particular edition will be by far the most interesting one ever published by The Democrat, as it will contain a score or more of letters from former citizens to their old friends in Jasper county. We know every subscriber will enjoy reading this Home-Coming number and many will want a few extra copies to send to some relative or friend who is not a regular subscriber to The Democrat. To provide for this a few hundred extra copies will be printed, and if you want one or more of them you should leave your order with The Democrat at once.

Cora and Poultry Clubs.
Last spring quite an effort was made in the organization of a Boys’ Corn Club and Girls’ Poultry Club over the county. Meetings were held in various parts of the county and quite a number of boys and girls became interested in "work. It was the intention of County Agent Barrett to visit and advise with the children during the summer and to make the club work really worth while to the boys and girls. When the county agent work was discontiued it left the, club work without a leader, but since that time County Superintendent Lamson has advised the boys and girls to keep up their work as faithfully as they could under the conditions. Of those who went into the work last spring about 50 have continued. At the meeting of the Board of Education December 7, it was decided to encourage the work in every way possible and through box socials and other means to procure money to make the prizes as planned in the spring. The following is a list of boys and girls who have so far remained in the work: BARKLEY Amos Deere Blanche Peterson Lowell Peterson Hazel Brouhard Alonzo Scheurlch Newell Hays Pearl Peterson Lowell Hays Lawrence Brouhard CARPENTER Lester Alter Hilda Gray Lacy Alter Sallie Knockel Robert Smalley Helen Welch Clermont Stack Carrie Pluiiner Cecele Fisher Mary Pluimer GILLAM Clarence LeFevre Goldie Hough Clarence McElroy Hilda Onken Edward Ryan Frances Ryan Myrtle Houston Irene Smallfelt HANGING GROVE Laura Maxwell Garry Snedeker KANKAKEE Dewey Myers Amanda Albin George Schreiber Charles Duggleby Nora Davis - KEENER Matie Kersey MARION Fred Spangle Amie Spangle Lila Peek MILROY Katie Guttrich Leonard McAleer NEWTON John Stockton Josephine Thomas Almira Stockton UNION Emmor Switzer Lonzo Wiseman WALKER l lric Hinrichs Elsie Peer James Alexander WHEATFIELD Archie Hendrix Eva Grube Elam Summers F:cra Short Sarah Gorden Rosa Smith Harold Kennedy JORDAN Hurshell Bice These at least have reported to Superintendent Lamson and if there are others who have kept up the work but have not reported they should do so at once. All reports both from the girls of the Poultry Club and the boys of the Corn Club should be sent to Superintendent Lamson at once.

News Letters From the Country
BAUM’S BRIDGE. Mrs. Hallier visited the River school last Thursday. W. R. Custard departed for Warren, Ind., last Friday, on legal business. Mrs. Terry and Miss Maud Smith were callers at the Vandercar home Friday. Messrp. Clifford Custard and Wm. Bush called on your correspondent Saturday evening. Miss Maud Smith departed for Chicago Sund'ay morning to hear a sermon by Pastor Rjussell. Edson Gibbs departed for Wilmington, Del., Saturday morning to appear in the U. S. court there as a witness for the government in a case against a defunct insurance company that operated in this state a short time ago. , If we all could realize the great importance of a hearty co-operation with the teacher in the interpretation of the school work, we would surely bestir ourselves and put ourselves in vital connection with the school work by frequent visits. Thus we would develop a harmony upon the basis of a mutual understanding.
ALVA MORTON REITZEL.
Alva Morton Reltzel is not new on the Lyceum platform. He has been before the public for years, first as a successful minister and then as a lecturer. His lectures are uplifting, full of good sound facts and, as the Register at Oxford, Kan., says, “He related just enough good stories to spice the lecture." The Walnut (Kan.) Eagle says of him: “He makes a fine appearance, for he has a commanding figure. His ar-

Those who heard him were delighted.” The Herald, Laddonia, Mo., says: “He kept his audience in splendid humor throughout the entire time. This was the fourth number of the course and by far the best His audience was sorry when he closed, but they left with the realization that they carried away with them many choice thoughts.” At Presbyterian church Wednesday evening, December 16.
