NEW RICHMOND RECORD.

Shawnee Mound.

The Coal Creek Cotton Tail Club held their annul hunt all day last Wednesday and captured 197 rabbits. John Morris was captain of the east side and he and his men got 130 rabbits; Jake Fulwider, captain on the west, he and his men getting 67. Jake being the defeated captain had to dispose of the rabbits, and he and Fred Clough (Fred being treasurer) had to make the necessary arrangements for the supper which was held at Jake Fulwider’s on Friday night. There were 81 persons present at the supper. After supper an hour was spent in a good social time, following which the gentlemen retired to another room for a business meeting. The house was called to order by the president, Robert Armfield. The report of the treasurer showed the treasury exhausted. In the election of officers it was moved and seconded that all the old officers, except the captains, hold over another year. Treasurer Armfield said he was going away and would resign, and Mart Graves was then elected to that office. After the regular routine of business the club adjourned. Taking their leave for home all expressed themselves as having had an enjoyable time, and wished Mr. and Mrs. Fulwider many happy years and a kind good night.

PROMINENT CITIZEN GONE.

Wilbur Kerr, a prominent and lending citizen of Wingate, died at home at 11 o’clock Tuesday night, December 18. Death was due to congestion of the brain, Mr. Kerr having first taken ill while in attendance at the fat stock show in Chicago two weeks ago. He returned home as soon as possible and had since grown gradually worse.

S. C. Sayers and the Hawthorne boys are borne from DePauw for the Christmas holidays. Five new telephones in Stringtown this week. This includes the Mayor and Clerk of the Court.

Mr. Kerr was a man of medium years, and his many friends realize that his light has gone down in the midst of his best usefulness. He was a Christian man in all that that name implies, and a man with few enemies. As a business avocation he followed stock buying principally and his demise will be sadly felt among a host of patrons and farmers who always knew where to look for aid when in need while awaiting the sale of some fattening livestock. Mr. Kerr was also a member of the town board

Misses Florence and Annie Meharry spent Tuesday as the guests of Mrs. Al Bailey near New Richmond. Mr. and Mrs. Albert J. Wallace spent Sunday in Indianapolis, the guests of Mrs. W’s sister, Mrs. Roxie Long. Wm. Mitchel, of Ambia, was a visitor here this week. If he did not make another mash it was not because he did not try. Mrs. G. N. Meharry and son and daughter are home from Goodwine, Ill., where they attended the funeral of Mrs. C. B. Hickman.

HOW TO CURE CROUP.

Mr. R. Gray, who lived hear Aoienin, Dutchess county, N. Y., says: “Chamberlain’s Cough remedy is the best medicine I have ever used. It is a fine children’s remedy for croup and never fails to cure.” When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croup cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. This should be borne in mind and a bottle of the Cough Remedy kept at hand ready for instant use as soon soon ns these symptom appear. For sale by J. W. Hollin & Co., druggists.

MILLINERY DEPARTMENT.

RUNAWAY.

What narrowly escaped being a serious runaway happened on the street Monday afternoon about 4:30 o’clock. Jasper Dick, who lives north of town, and Mrs. Frank Thompson who with her husband work for the Dick family, had come to town to do some shopping. He had hitched his horse near Dr. Washburn’s office and when they were ready to return home Mr. Dick was in the act of untying the horse when she pulled back, breaking and pulling the bridle off and started on a run, going west on Washington street, thence turning north on Wabash street. Mrs. Thompson had gotten into the phaeton, and when the beast started off in a dead run she was terribly scared though yet had presence of mind to hang onto the bow of the top of the phaeton with all her strength. The horse was making a dash down the sidewalk on Wabash street and when in front of Matt Davidson’s residence the left front wheel struck a shade tree, thus freeing the horse and the horse went on, around the corner, and was caught by Joe Allen in the east end of town. Mrs. Thompson had fainted from fright and excitement and was taken out of the phaeton, where they said she still hung on in a death grip, and was carried into the residence of H. K. Lee and was resusciated; but she was uninjured. The phaeton was considerably demolished though was not overturned even in making the very short turn at the corner.
