Isaac Glazebrook run a sharp pointed wire through his foot a few days since and has suffered a deal of inconvenience from it since. Lots in the Leopold addition in pro moxity to the court house are very much fought for atjpresent by local real estate buyers. Mr. and Mrs. Newton Warren, who were married Sunday morning, left for Bloomington, where Mr. Warren will engage in school work. At a thrashing in the township of Marion last week there were twenty-six farmers present, only one of whom owned the farm he lived upon. Everybody needs an Aermoter, the nest windmill made. Sold by Judson H. Perkins. Call on him at office in McDonald’s poultry market. Twelve of the stone cutters on . the court house have been laid off because of the accumulation of finished stone that has not been men set in the wall. Another week has been frittered away without any mcr « stino being laid in the foundations of th- court house. Nor has any adjustment been reached in the matter of taking out rock already laid.

Pass the good word along the line. Piles can be qnickly cured without an operation by simply applying DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. A. F. Long Corn shucking will begin in September this year. The recent storms have materially damaged the crop for in many fields the stalks have been broken down by the wind. Luther Strong, Walter Porter, Jay Williams, S. Makeever and Mrs. Stockton have just had new cement walks finished in front of their residences on Main and Division streets. John Jesson is still struggling with the elements and quick sand in pushing his work on the court house sewer. He certainly has no large net profit awaiting the conclusion of his contract. Married—Sep. 2, 1896, by Rev. R. D. Utter, of the M. E. Church, Miss Elizabeth A. Hilton, of Rensselaer, and Mr. Charles G. Harrington, of DeMotte, Ind.

Babcock, trustee of Marion township, is reported to have told some free silver men a few days since, that no honest laborer would vote for Bryan. It is to be regretted that any man wteuld. so forget his American citizenship as to so brutally stigmatize those of his fellowmen who happen to differ with him. Mr. Babcock will hardly repeat the statement to the same parties.

The local money brokers have received instructions from their eastern principals that no further farm loans Will be made until the financial policy of the government is settled. Hollingworth and Hopkins, who have been extensively engaged in this line are among those who have been obliged to reject numerous applications of late on this account. It is to be regretted that the citizens of our county should be made to suffer inconvenience of this kind because of agitation of the silver question. John Reynolds arrived home Monday from Milwaukee where he has been having a very successful season with his newrunning horse, Lou Hopper. He won second money in a race last Saturday, upon which race a fortunate backer won so handsomely that he made Mr. Reynolds a present of a 8200 gold watch. He left for Lexington Tuesday to purchase other horses. It is reported Lou Hopper has started six times, winning one first, three seconds and two thirds. So far it has been a very profitable season for Mr. Reynolds and he has high hopes of still other victories this fall.

“Wake up little Jacob, day is breaking!’’ so said DeWitt’s Little Early Risers to the man who had taken them to arouse his sluggish liver. A. F. Long.
