A Bit of History

The Monroe City Democrat was
established April 4. 1888, by Joe

chased by James W. Johnston. ".
J Rouse and E. W. Ragland bought

Two years later, Mr.. Rouse bought

iii last December. was publisher Of

ty Record for a while. but has now

This is. in short. the history of
the Monroe City Democrat Ii is
now commencing OH its thirtieth
year in business. Ii shall be the
aim OF the present management to
give the patrons of this paper the
best that is to be had in this line.
We are printing this paper on the
best quality Of news print that
money can buy. We are going to
continue this service as long as we
are able TO get this quality of paper.
We are little bit disappointed
this week in our failure 10 get in
certain features on which we had
planned. We tried to get some
features. but through a slight mis-
understanding, we are compelled TO
put them off until some other time.
However, be on the look out for
there will be some surprise every
issue.

A rather unusual character stop
PED in Alton last ,ionuay He was
travelling through the country in a
covered wagon and claimed Weldon,
Iowa, as his home and helley Boyn-
ton as his name He was trading
horses, prospecting and seeing the
country. He claims to be the owner
Of several farms, the author Of seven
books and has travelled in every state
in the union In no way did he re-
semble bloated land holder, but he
could very easily have been the
author of the books and after con-
versng with him it was easy to see
that he had Travelled a Sreat deal: A
short time ago he was gathering
shells in Grand River down near KEEL
lerton and he found an old elk's skull
and horn. 1t was evidently an old
one and had been in the river great
many years as there have been no elk
in this country for some time. The
horn was a large one and several OF
the prongs had been broken off. He
had the horn, with him and said he
expected TO mount it.-Afton star

There was quite little excitement
on the street Tuesday afternoon
when bunch of farmers from north
of town brought in one of the hardest
looking specimens of humanity we
have seen for a good many. days.
Nothing could be learned of the old
man except that his trade was that
|of minister of the gospel, he would
not tell his name nor give his home.
For the past ten days he has been
roaming around in Bloomington
neigh borhood soaring the women and
children. his favorite pastime was go
ing to the houses and asking for a
drink and what he did not drink he
threw back in the wells. Several of
the farmers from this neighborhood
took it into their hands to catch him
and turn him over to the sheriff. He
was caught at the Scott school house
and Sheriff Fulton came down and
took him to Leon. From his actions
it was hard to tell whether he was
crazy or a crafty old man. So far as
we have been able to learn he COM
mitted no depredations and he never
stopped at house and asked for any
thing to eat, it was always something
to drink.-Lamdni Chronicle.

II there is any person who drives
over the Jefferson Highway south OF
Leon who does not know where c. NJ
Axes lives it will be because he is
blind, and for two reasons. One is
that Charley always has the road
along his farm dragged up in good
shape, and the other is that last week
he had the front of his big new barn
decorated with life sized oil portraits
cattle, the kind which he raises eX-
clusively, and with them is the name
of the farm, Sunny Summit Here

in a very artistic manner by A. l.

Uncle John Moon has been pretty
busy man up at his place on north
Main street this year, making many
improvements on the place, putting
in new cement sidewalks, building a
fine cement cave, and improving gen
orally, until he has one of the neat
est places in the city of Leon. And
besides looking after all these inn
provements he has mighty fine gar
den, and last week brought The Re.
porter man sample of what an old
man can do in raising potatoes, and
they were by far the largest we have
seen, being larger than goose eggs,
and they tasted just as fine as they
look. Uncle John never gets hold OF
a place but what he improves is
mightily
