Will Go to Cleveland.

Another Monroe City young man.
DR.. Leo M. Bell is starting to make
a name for himself and is going in
the right direction to achieve a
wonderful success. DR.. Bell is here
visiting at the home of DR.. and Mrs.
John Bell near the city, but expects
to leave in a few days for Cleveland
Ohio, where he will serve as inferno
to DR.. Crow, one of, if not the most,
eminent surgeon in that city. At
ter DR.. Bell has completed his work
in Cleveland, which in all probable
ity will require a year or two, he
will 90 to Rochester. Mimi, wher e
he will become member of the
worlds famous Mayo Brothers San
itarium. DR.. Bell as we'll as his
many friends may we'll feel proud
when he has achieved this success,
as the Mayo Brothers are known to
be among the best in their profess
ion. Prior to DR.. Bells graduation
at Harvard recently, he spent four
years at the University of Missouri
where he received his A. B. degree
and following that he spent two
years at the University of Mime
sofa, completing his work at Har-
ward the past year. This is another
case where a young man has put
his entire time and energy in hopes
of realizing boyhood ambition and
who will long be remembered by
his many friends as the boy who
had a course laid out and remained
on the track until he won. T e
Democrat sincerely wishes him all
the success possible.

Lightning Kills Team.

You can never tell where light
ming is going to strike and Alva Ely
is willing to agree to this fact.
While blowing corn on his farm
near New London last Friday Mr..
Ely had the misfortune to lose two
very valuable horses. When the
lightning struck. Mr.. Ely was just
preparing to unhitch and 90 to the
house. The effects of the shock
stunDed him and for some time he
did not realize fully what had hap
pened. A young colored boy who
was driving the team also received
a slight shock although neither of
them, we are glad to say, suffered
any i'll effects from the exp erience
Mr.. Ely says he would just as soon
have it strike next time when he
was not close by.

PAVE MAIN STREET
To Pave Main Street with Concrete
Is Wish of Property Owners

The Board of Aldermen met in
regular session Tuesday evening
with all members present.
A petition was presented to the
Board demonstrating against the
paving of Main street with macadam
thirty names being attached thereto.
The property owners realizing that
to put macadam on the street would
mean continual expense. A pc
tition was then presented request
ing the Board to pass an ordinance
requiring that Main street from the
Baptist church to the Catholic
church be paved with cement. This
petition is now receiving considera-
ton.
An ordinance was passed requir-
ing the laying of sidewalk on
North Park street from East Monroe
to Washington street, a distance of
one block This will make con-
tinual walk on that street,
The property owners on Vine
street were given one more week to
work on their petition. 1t seems as
though some of them are only in
favor of grading the street and do
ing no paving whatsoever, and to
these were granted the extension of
time. They had just as we'll do the
paving now as in all likelihood it
will only be a matter of a few
months until they will have to do
the work anyway.
The next meeting will be on
Tuesday evening, June %.

Beautiful Residences

Monroe City property owners GER
tainly believe in keeping their homes
ship-shape. There are very few
homes in the city that need paint
ing and in talk with E. C. Spalding
of the Southern & Spalding Drug
Co., this week, he told a Democrat
representative that they have sold
more paint and wall paper this
season than ever before, and have
also done good general drug bust
ness, and that he sincerely believes
that the hard times talk is a thing
of the past. 1t would be mighty
good thing if the few houses in need
of paint were given a going over,
bringing the entire residence district
up to the highest standard and one
to be proud of.

Surprise wedding seems to be the
rage in Monroe City, as this week
Col. j. r. B. Kidd slipped quietly

that city. Col. Kidd is an old resi-

able addition to the social life of

extend to her a hearty welcome.

of friends. extends to the happy
pair the best of wishes for a long
and happy married life.

Attend Graduation Exercises

Several from here attended the
graduation exercises at Paris last
Saturday and all report the exer-
cises as being excellent and the
time spent was of keen enjoyment
from start to finish. The free
scholarship offered to the pupil re-
ceiving the highest average in the
9Th grade was awarded to Blanch
Corley. of Indian Creek. The young
lady should feel proud of her
achievement and will no doubt
make the best of her advantage.
Also on Saturday, June IL the
Rails county graduation exercises
of rural eighth grade pupils was
held at New London. Hassard
school was represented by the
teacher, Miss Pearl Settle aud her
eight graduates who motored to
New London. Out of about 80 or
so pupils, one of the scholars from
Miss Settles school, Frances Will
liams won the scholarship given by
the New London High School. The
young lady was not satisfied with
the honor of one scholarship, but
also succeeded in carrying off the
one offered by the Chillicothe Bust
ness College. Miss Settle has con-
Quoted a good school at Hassard
the past season and to her untiring
efforts and zeal the parents and
children give thanks.
