CITY NEWS.

FRIDAY. James Parkieon’s two little boys are quite sick with sqre throat. Mr. and Mrs, A D.. Wash burn and son, of Fair Oaks are in our city today. i . The two small children of Charles Morris in Jordan Tp., who have been sick with intermittent fever are now improving. Mrs. A. Zacher, west of town, returned last evening from a week’s visit with relatives at Lafayette. Mrs. Ed. Peacock has returned from a month’s visit with her parents, Rev. and Mrs. S. P. Colvin, at Covington, lad. The Methodist ladies were very successful at their dinner -and supper and apron eale, ig Liberal Corner. The net proceeds will be about $52.

Mr. and Mrs. W. S.. Eagler, of Murdock, 111, arrived last evening, for a few weeks’ visit with their daughter, Mrs. J. T. Penn, at the Nowels’ House. This is the 14th day of December, and there has been no skating so far, and very little snow. Not an unprecedented fact by any mean though rather an unusual one. Ice is beginning to form, now though and is now about a half inch in thickness.

A bill to prevent “professionalism” in iuries will be presented to the legislature by Representative ReagaD, of Indianapolis. It proposes that an extra venire of twelve men be drawn and from this panel a man be drawn, where there is need of a man on the regular panels. This would abolish the system of talesmen. F. M. Donnelly, a well know n photographer, formerly located in Monticello, was here yesterday, negotiating with C. W. Stoneback for his business and outfit.

Ed Heath, of Aydelotte, yesterday closed up the purchase of a fine residence property in Rensselaer, and he and his family will soon become residents of our city. He bought the new house on Forest street, recently build by Geo. Andros, and now occupied by Prof. W. H. Sanders. Mr. Heath will move over as soon as Prof. Sanders finds another’suitable residence. The fact that ice is forming on the river, and the joyful skating season seems to be approaching, makes it timely to call attention to Mr. Starr’s notice in this issue. His ice pond is the best skating place in Jasper county, and he is very glad to have the young people enjoy it, but he can noFafford to clean off thousands of little stones and other rubbish, before he puts his ice plow to work. The young people who wish to skate, should not only rigidly refrain from throwing stones and other rubbish on the ioe ; but also try to MtfPM&jtthers from doing it, also.

Thai cough nangsOn You have used all sorts of cough remedies but it does not yield; it is too deep seated. It may wear itself out in time, but it is more liable to produce lar grippe, pneumonia or a serious throat affection. You need something that will give you strength and build up the body. SCOTT’S EMULSION Sill do this when everything se fails. There is no doubt about it. It nourishes, strengthens, builds up and makes the body strong and healthy, not only to throw off this hard cough, but to fortify the system against further attacks. If you are run down or emaciated you should certainly take this nourishing food medicine. joe. an* fi.oo, .11 dnigjijtt, SCOTT* BO WN E, Chcmitu, New York.
