Big Fox Chase at Augusta. Editor Democrat: For want of other news I will write yon of our big- fox Chase Christmas. Sometime ago the fox hunters of this plane caught a large red fox and decided to turn it loose Christmas and have a chase. All the nearby hunters were notified and the Cable and Kaufman woods selected as the best point to meet. On Christmas morning the hunters met at the home of Jnd Burlingame, J. V. Stinson's timber boss. By eleveu o'clock the hills were covered with people. There were old aud young, big and little, white and black, both male and female, iu all uearly three hundred people, eager for the sport. J. E Pipes had three dogs to go in the chase, Jimmie Davis, three; Wesley Richardson, three; Wyatt Com and Charles Curtis, three; Ilalisee Hollon, two: James Tooley, one, and William Norriek, one. The fox was given five minutes start, then the dogs were turned loose. They all got off on a dead run from the beginning aud were well bunched. Most every one supposed the fox would go baek to his old haunts near Pikeville, but he seemed to be

lost and agreeably surprised the crowd by running in short circles. As every one was anxious to see what dog caught the tot the excitement soon became intense. After1 running Irani for half an hour he started for the place where he was turner! loose, hani pressed by the dogs. The dogs were ooaring iu well bunched but when they came iu sight J. E. Pipes’ “Bally Scraper/’ au old veteran fox dog, shot ahead of the j others and caught Mr. Fox. During the race and after it was over, j Mr. Burlingame and his handsome wife served oysters and other refreshments to all j who would partake, in a way that made every one feel that life was worth living j after all. The crowd was very orderly but j hail about as much fuu as could be got into that many people. SnarAToK. Mrs. M. B.

Braden and Erast us Johnson of this city, Lew Traylor of Jefferson township, Thomas Johnson of Patoka township, J. A. Shrodes of Clay township, attended the teachers and trustees association at Indianapolis this week. What might have been a serious fire was happily discovered in time at the home of William Limp last Sunday evening. The family was away from home and the gas was turned on full when the pressure came ou in the evening. The furniture was blistered somewhat but no serious damages. It is distressing to see so many young men all over the country who have no fixed object in life. No thought of what they intend to make of themselves, uo idea of what they expect to pursue, no idea of trying to elevate themselves. Moving along through life as though they expected to live through countless ages, and in no hurry to commence life with a view of success. With no thought of winter, of old age. when their vigor and strength will have left them as helpless as babies.

Business meu, don’t give your orders for job printing until you have seeu samples of work at this office printed with the latest style* of type which have just been received. The job department of this office has always been the best in the city, and with the additiou of over a hundred dollars’ worth of type of the up-to-date styles we are now better prepared than ever to do neat printing. Call and see the styles, nothing like them in the city. Something new for letter heads, note heads, statements, cards and circulars. A number of people in Indiana, who have considered themselves divorced, some of whom have contracted new matrimonial alliances have been placed iu an embarrassing position by a recent court decision and some action may be taken by the legislature toward reformation in the granting of divorce. The court dockets of the state arc incumbered w ith decrees granted where no costs have been paid, the aggregate amount being startling. The result has been a decision of the circuit court judges t at no divorces will be granted until court costs are paid, and that in cases where decrees have been issued the martial bonds are still binding until Costs have been paid. For colds and coughs and all lung troubles « Wr’s Lherry Pectoral is the standard remedy. It is now put up in half-size bottles.
