Special Correspondence of the Democrat.
BLUE RIVER, Jan. 15, 1886.
Melvin Walker and
wife are on the sick list.
A fine horse belonging
to Harrison Rhoads died Sunday.
Protracted meeting at
Pleasant Hill is in progress, Rev. B. F. Morgan officiating.
J. T. and
J. R. Kennerly contemplate moving to their newly acquired property in
Shelbyville next week.
Ed Moberly
and Carrie Yarling, eldest daughter of John Yarling,
were united in the holy bonds of matrimony Wednesday evening at the home of the
bride, by Rev. Morgan.
Ed. at
last the step has taken,
May his path with bliss abound.
May he
ne'er at midnight awaken
By a mournful squeaking sound.
Hugh Leech,
successor of Seth Lisher as teacher at No. 1, is entering
upon duty in a satisfactory manner, considering the element under instruction
and defensive weapons carried by the "kids." Hugh is the right
man in the right place.
To "L.
L.:" As for "casting instructions", the whole tenor of your
conglomeration of slurs seems to be based upon such. Please note carefully
the distinction between "sexton" and "janitor." Your
dictionary is certainly out of date. Scratch your stupid pate and
"post up" a little. Meanwhile Col. Gaines has
resigned his office as janitor, and the honor has been conferred upon Isaac
Ash.
