DEMOTTE.

BY M. A. M.

DeMotte is still on the boom. Henry Granger has sold his property to E. G. Warren. E. G. Warren made a flying visit to Chicago last week. Wm. Posey is having a fine residence erected. Henry Sparling is building a porch in front of the millinery store. The DeMotte brass band gave an open air concert last Friday evening. The music was .fine. A new store was opened up Joe Tyler, in the Sayers building. Kittie Harring, of Rensselaer, paid DeMotte and vicinity a visit last week. The saloon property will be repaired and fixed up for a restaurant and confectionary store, we understand.

Dan Fairchild, the liusllii g sewing machine agent, says he is having good success selling machines. Henry Granger is having a good house put up in Thaye , which he will occupy as soon • s complete. The ice cream social at the school house for the benefit of the M. E. minister was a success both socially and financially. The proceeds netted about sls. The DeMotte ball team went over to Rose Lawn to play the deciding game of ball. The score stood 9 to 16 in favor of DeMotte. Some of our young folks took in the pie social at the Gleason school house last Saturday night. They report a good time. Our genial post master is talking of putting in new boxes, both call and lock, as the old ones are not sufficient to accommodate the public. Mom Burns, who has been in the West for six or seven years, dropped into town the other day. He says he is surprised at the growth DeMotte has taken since he left.

It is reported that there will be a wedding in DeMotte in the near future, as your correspondent happened to hear the arrangements being made in one of our butcher shops some days ago. DeMotte now has a full fledged livery and feed stable. Conducted by a couple of young men from Medary ville. This is something that we have needed for a long time. We hope that the boys will do well. The People’s party is talking of putting out a full township ticket and if they do we believe it will be elected as there has been a great change in the political opinions of the people of Keener in the last year or two. J. F. Bruner as agent for the Continental insurance company, paid the J. N. White, whose house was burned some days ago the full amount of insurance, which was £1,351. The Continental is a good company and Bruner is a hustling agent, attending to business promptly.

I have two little grand ch' d ren who are teething this hot summer weather and are troubled ; with bowel complaint. I give! thbm Chamberlain’s Colic, Choi- j era and Diarrlioe Remedy and it acts like a charm. I earnestly j recommend it for children with | bowel troubles. I was myself j taken with a severe attack of bloody flux, with cramps and pains in my stomach, one-thiid of a bottle of this remedy cured me. Within twenty-four hours I was out of bed doing my house work. Mrs. W. L. Durragan, Bon-aqua, Hickman Co.. Tenu. ! For Sale by F. B. Meyer Druggist.
