IN a SlN-Column quartO form m
stead of a nine-column folio form
as heretofore. While the pages
have been reduced in size, the en-
tire paper has been made larger.
We believe that the new form is
the more convenient one and that
it will be appreciated by the read
ers of The Democrat.
The Hoare Bros. are making
extensive Improvements in their
butter factory, just south OF town.
A large steam engine and sep
arator are among the additions.
This factory has always turned
out excellent butter, and its ca
pacity can be increased with the
assurance that its product will bring
Elgin prices.

picnic of Trinity Sunday School,
which was held at Dodge's grove,
on Wednesday, a bus loaded with

serious injury. Aside from this
unfortunate accident, the day was
spent very pleasantly,
