DEMOTTE.

BY THUNDERBOLT.

An interesting trial took place here last Saturday, to recover damage done by railroad fires, supposed to be set by the I. I. I. R. R. The defendants made no defense and will likely carry the case to the circuit court.

John Sigler has bought Mr. Troxel’s furniture store and will move here about the Ist of March. He will move into the property now occupied by Mr. Headley. A supper will be given at the school house next Saturday evening. The proceeds of which will be used to purchase books for the town library. Mr. Headley expects to build on his farm west of town very soon as he must vacate the property he now occupies, March Ist. Mr. Fairchild has engaged with the Singer Sewing Machine Company as traveling salesman.

The people of this place expect to put out a large amount of small fruits this coming spring.

Quite a few of our citizens are complaining of LaGrippe, but no serious cases are reported. Fay Granger has his butcher shop completed and will soon be ready to wait upon customers. Fay Granger and Miss Dolson were married here last Sunday, Esq. Troxel, officiating. Mrs. DeKock’s has moved into J. F. Bruner’s property east of town. Some hunter’s were here from Chicago and report a scarcity of game.

The stores of DeMotte were crowded with people last Saturday. J. F. Bruner is building another new house. Protracted meeting closed last Sunday night.

About a year ago I took a violent attack of la grippe. I coughed day and night for about six weeks; my wife then suggested that I try Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. At first I could see no difference, but still kept taking it, and soon found that it was what I needed. If I got no relief from one dose I took another, and it was only a few days until I was free from the cough. I think people in general ought to know the value of this remedy, and I take pleasure in acknowledging the benefit I have received from it.—Madison Mustard, Otway.
