HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

WHEATFIELD Mr. Dewey and family were Rensselaer goers Friday. Lou Misch visited his friend at Rensselaer last Sunday. Louie Vandercar of Knox, is "doing ' mason work for contractor Clager. 4 Andy Misch, Sr., has just completed a system of concrete walks around his house which adds a lot of comfort to the home. Ward Hamilton, our electric light man, is getting things lined up. We will soon be basking in the light; we will soon put on city airs. A company of young folks from Tefft and Wheatfield were entertained at the Dewey, home Monday evening. . All present report a fine time. w Some sneaking galoot broke into the Stembel elevator office Monday evening and stole a motorcycle belonging to Grover Stembel, and pulled out for the land of Somewhere. We hope the fellow will be overhauled. A large company of Hallowe’en celebrators called on Dr. and Mrs. Fyfe Saturday evening. After a few hours of jollity they all called at the home of Mrs. Bernice Clark and partook of a midnight supper, at which all distinguished themselves. Andy Misch, Jr., went to Kouts to mill a few days ago. Andy said that owing to the fact that a few cussed Democrats came to his home and took wheat when he was gone, he thought he had better take oina supply of flour before it was too late. Hallowe’en night was pulled off

here with all the pomp and splendor of an oriental king. Nothing in the way of pranks, tricks or general devilishness was omitted in fact, special attachments were added. Windows were soaped, main street blockaded with wagons, onions, dumpboards, etc., and the street carpeted with cabbage. With the exception of Mr. Nelson’s photo gallery, no damage w’as done. Although our boys are filled with fun, yet they are careful not to destroy property, it is not their intention. A “poverty social” was held at the opera house Friday evening, which attracted a large concourse of jolly people. All came dressed in their worst clothes, and in order that some would not play the dude, an order was issued that any person that came arrayed in good clothes would be fined. Such wearing apparel that w’as in evidence! Such freakish make-ups! Such comical headgear. Everything laughable was there in full force. A few of the high school ladies sold homemade candies, which were eagerly bought. Click, the barber, captured the prize for best suit. He was awarded a seven-ppund chain of bologna.

A Pine Whooping Cough Remedy. Mothers, Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar-Hon-ey is just the remedy for your children’s cold ailments. The fact that pine is a quick enemy of cold conditions. Its qualities loosen the mucous in the throat, soothe the lungs and •open up the air passages. The combination of honey, soothing and pleasant, with the loosening pine quality makes this an ideal cough remedy for children. Each passing year brings for it, new friends. A family of growing children cannot afford to be without it. 25c a bottle. —Advt. “THE JUNGLES.” Miss Orabelle' Swartz spent Saturday and Sunday with home folks. Orland Beaver and Irene McAleer took Sunday dinner with Mr. and Mrs. True Culp. W. M. Chapman and family spent Sunday evening with his mother, Mrs. Anna Chapman. Bert Wood of Hanging Grove tp., with his cousin, Clyde, of this place, called on Clifford Ogle Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Harry Newman returned to her home I 'in Rensselaer Sunday, after visiting her brother, Frank Sommers, since Wednesday.

We are Displaying a complete line of Heating Stoves and Ranges at most reasonable prices. C. W. Eger

Mrs. Scripter and daughter, Goldie, returned to Wolcott Sunday after visiting with her daughter, Mrs. Perfect Spencer, since Thursday. Wm. -Chapman and family of this place, and Newt Sunderland and Roy Scott of Hanging "Grove tp., spent Sunday afternoon with Lon Wood and family. After attending the teachers’ meeting at Indianapolis Thursday and Friday, Miss Marie Fisher visited friends and relatives in Noblesville, returning home Sunday. The contest supper given by the “Blues” to the “Reds” was pulled off at Fisher’s Saturday night and anybody who stayed away certainly missed the timb of their life. The Fisher family were generous enough to let us have the supper in their new house, which certainly is a dandy and has plenty of room for all. The “eats” served were oysters, sandw’iches, slaw and pickles. Everybody ate their fill and enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. We extend our many thanks to Mr. Fisher and family for the kindness they showed us.

Colds Do Not Leave Willingly. Because a cold is stubborn is no reason why you should be. Instead of “wearing” it out, get sure relief by taking Dr. King’s New Discovery. Dangerous bronchial and lung ailments often follow a cold which has been neglected at the beginning. As your body faithfully battles those cold germs, no better aid can be given than the use of this remedy. Its merit has been tested by old and young. Get a bottle today. 50c and $ I.oo. —Advt.

FOUR CORNERS. Mrs. T. F. Maloney is reported on the sick list. Harry Neier is remodeling the interior of his residence. F. W. Fisher and son, Orvil, and wife, were county seat visitors Thursday. K continued dry weather has caused the farmers to commence feeding their stock hereabouts. New corn is being contracted for at Tefft, we were informed, at 45 c per bushel. Oats worth 34c and wheat, SI.OO. Corn husking will begin in earnest next w’eek. The corn is not yielding as expected and prices will be correspondingly high. The aged mother of ex-trustee Shirer of Kankakee tp., is reported quite poorly at the home of her son, William, near Tefft. A. S. Keene is now busy on the Karch stone road, and should the weather continue favorable, will make an effort to complete it this year.

Timber wolves are becoming quite thick in this vicinity, and several farmers report having lost sheep, pigs and poultry from their depredations.

Mrs. W. D. Myers of Wheatfield, who suffered a stroke of paralysis while at Winamac last Friday, is reported considerably better at last accounts.

The Wheatfield light plant now being built will receive the approval or rejection of the town board Friday evening. If Bowie is against, who can be for it?

John Wesner of Tipton, returned home Holiday after several days’ visit with his brothers and friends. His father, who lives in Wheatfield, has now passed into the 90’Si and is quite spry.

We failed to see the Demotte depot in the location designated by the Booster. There was a telephone pole in the way, and the removal will be demanded by the citizens of Demotte at the next council meeting. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hight and daughter, Alma, of Wheatfield, and Mrs. J- T, Biggs and son, Ted, were in Rensselaer Thursday. Miss Alma and Ted were anxious and did interview the county clerk, and were the most interested of any in the big bargain day at Rensselaer. Jesse Collins, assessor of' Kankakee tp., who had > been suffering from consumption for the past two or three years, died at his home onehalf mile north of Tefft, Saturday morning, aged about 30 years. He leaves a wife but no children. The funeral was held from the residence Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock, and burial made at San Pierre. Mr. Cellins was superintendent of the new DeArmond stone road in Kankakee tp., and had not been out of the house after this road was completed, only a few weeks ago. He was a native of Kankakee township and was held in high esteem.

Rheumatism and Allied Pains They Must Go! The congestion- of the blood in its flow causes pain. Sloan’s Liniment penetrates to the congestion and starts the blood to flow freely. The body’s warmth is renewed; the pain is gone. The “man or woman who has rheumatism, neuralgia or other pain and fails to keep Sloan’s Liniment in their home is like a drowning man refusing a rope.” Why-suf-fer, Get a bottle of Sloan’s. 25c and 50c. SI.OO bottles hold six times as much as 25c size.—Advt. An arm load of old papers tor 5 cents.

. FAIR OAKS. Trustee Hammerton was in our town Tuesday on business. A. M. Bringle and wife made a business trip to Chicago Thursday. Mrs. A. J. Abel is down about Battle Ground this wobk, visiting relatives.

Charles Halleck has begun his fall delivery of shrubbery and fruit trees.

Health has improved in our toWn since our last report, and is good again.

F. R. Erwin is making preparations to begin his ditch contract. He will probably put in a new dredging outfit.

Flete Lakin and Otto Schultz unloaded a car of tile here the first of the week.

Rev. Postill talked to a good-sized audience in the M. E. church Sunday evening. F. R. Erwin got in another carload of coal and filled up many bins in town the first of the week.

Mrs. C. A. Vondersmith came up from Brook Wednesday to visit Charley and the children on the farm. JWilliam Mallon of Chicago, was down Sunday and made a short visit with his uncle, John Guss, and others. .

Frank Huffiek shipped several carloads of mixed cattle from here to the Chicago market Tuesday evening.

Miss Pansa Bozell, the nurse-, went down Monday to take care of the aged Mrs. Halstead, who is badly afflicted with a cancer.

Tom Mallatt is having his old livery barn torn down and some of the lumber moved to Virgie to be used in building a new house. Lou Mofßtt, who has been working for Lawler for a couple of years, quit and went down to Kentland the first of the week to husk corn.

Bert Sullivan, who has been living and working on the Tolen ranch the past two years, moved the first of the week onto the Al Moore place, south of town.

W. S. McConnell has a gang of men at work near town putting up hay. There is still considerable water on the ground and they are cutting in some water. Mr. Vance, who has been painting Mrs. Winslow’s house, and doing considerable other repair work about the property, is painting the inside of the Christian church this week. J. J. Lawler got in several hundred head of stock cattle a short time ago to stock up his pastures until cold weather. He certainly has a lot of splendid pasture for the time of year. \

Our venerable old ex-postmaster, Mr. Thompson, for several days has been having trouble with one of ears. It has been draining considerably, and is so serious he was taken to his -feed Wednesday. At last reports was feeling quite bad.

The usual amount of “pranks” were indulged in Hallow'e’en, and the probabilities are that the ones that upset the out-buildings at the school house will get to pay for their fun. We have always been paying heretofore for the erection and repairing of those buildings, and we feel it is about time somebody was being made an example of, and see this anniversary public expense stopped.

Get Rid of Those Poisons in Your System. You will find Dr. King's New- Life Pills a most satisfactory laxative in releasing the poisons t from your system. Accumulated was’te and poisons cause manifold ailments unless released. Dizziness, spots before the eyes, blackness and a miserable feeling generally are indications that you need Dr. King's New Life Pills. Take a dose tonight and you will experience grateful relief by morning. 25c.—Advt.

Obituary of William Petty. William M. Petty, Jr., youngest son of William and Mary E. Petty, was born Jan. 27, 1870, near Hobart, Ind., and departed this life Oct. 26. 1915, at Wesley hospital in Chicago. He was a member of a family of twelve children, namely: Eva, Elizabeth and Johanna, who died in infancy "Mathias, Mary and Clara, deceased Mrs. John Guss, Mrs. Ora Yeoman, Mrs. Austin Lakin, Mrs. Daniel Mellon and John Petty, living. J-'j 'His father died some years ago, but his aged mother is still living and resides with her daughter, Mrs 1 . Ora Yeoman, in Chicago. Mr. Petty was married June 25, 1912, to Miss Fa© Bradford, of Bloomington, Ind., w’ho had be on teaching school in this County. They spent a short but happy married life. Some two years ago Mr. Petty underwent a very critical operation for appendicitis, but after a long sickness he partially recovered, but had never been well, ana on Monday, Oct. 25, at 1:30 a. m., he was taken suddenly ill and Dr. Kresler w’as called. He did not make a sudden decision, but at a second call w’as fully decided 'that another operation was necessary and must be performed at once. Sc( arrangements were made for the fast train to stop and his wife and Dr. Kresler hastened him to Wesley hospital, w’here he again underwent a still more serious operation for obstruction of the bowels. His body was in a very weak condition and unable to undergo this operation, and after about twelve hours of suffering he passed quietly away. However, he came out from under the anesthetic and was conscious to the last, bidding his wife good-by, she alone being allowed to remain at his bedside. He had some weeks before expressed to her his willingness to die and be relieved of his suffering, which had been almost continual.

His remains were prepared for bi rial in the city and shipped back to Fair Oaks Wednesday on the 10:30 a. m. train. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Postill, at the M. E. church, after which his remains were taken to Prater cemetery and laid to rest beside his father, brothers and sisters. Mr. Petty was confirmed and baptized a Catholic, but after his marriage had conformed to the belief of his wife, who was a Methodist. It w’as their intention to unite with the M. E. church at Fair Oaks, having purchased property and moved there this fall. Besides his wife, mother, brothers and sisters, he leaves behind a host of other relatives and friends to mourn their loss. ' Those who came from a distance to attend the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Bradford, of Bloomfield; Mrs. Austin Lakin and two children, of State Line; Mr. and Mrs. Ora Yeoman, Blanch Cooper, Dan, Will, Harriet and Henrietta Mellon, of Chicago. xx

Why She Blushes. They tell us of the blushing bride Who to the altar goes Adown the aisle of a church Between -the friend-filled rows. There’s Billy whom she motored with, And Bob with Whom she swam, There’s Jack—she used to golf with him—* And Steve who called her "Lamb.” There’s Ted, the football man she owned, And Don of tennis days. There’s Hubert, yes, and blond Eugene, They took her off to plays. And there is Harry, high school beau, With whom she used to mush. No wonder she’s a “blushing bride’” Ye gods! She ought to blush! -—All Story Weekly. Place your want ads in The Democrat if you want to get results.
