A Prosperous Year.
Brazil Time.s: Rev. Geo. W. .Switzer 'has reason to fuel great pride in the successful manner in which the M. E. church of this city, and its chapels, have been administered the past year, judging il all from the splendid results apparent. The membership now is 830, with 100 probationers. The Sunday schools number 1,300 scholars, and the total benevolences are about S720. It must be gratifying to a minister and his assistants in the work to see how much respect and esteem they command and to know that the sacred work entrusted to them is progressing with all the speed indicative of a healthy growth. It is to be earnestly hoped that Itev. Switzer will be returned to our midst, as he is not only an able eloquent, forcible speaker, but an arable, etiicient worker.
Improvements at the SIihiIcp. The stockholders of the Garland Dell Hotel at the Shades held a meeting jTuesday and decided that in view of the rapidly increasing business, many new improvements were needed. Next year will be built another building containing a large dining hall with nearly thirty rooms above it. The long talked of dam will be put in to perfect the boating and a bridge will be built across the ravine to facilitate the cliff walk and give larger camping grounds. Two bath rooms will also be added to the hotel.

Mr. Perkins is not in good health and was scarcely able to walk to the court room.
Why He Did Not Make a Speech. To thn Editor of Crawfordsville Journal: According to Webster's definition of what news is and your instruction to correspondents to give the news this communication would be barred out. for I do not claim this as news, but I feel that I owe an apology to Tiik Jol'knal and also to the correspondents who met in reunion August 29, and will give it by an explanation. As I was one among the oldest both in years and correspondents of The Jouknal, it would very naturally have been expected that I should have had something to offer the omembers of the association at their reunion for their entertainment and encouragement. My only excuse for not being able to respond to the call to some extent at least is about this: I did not know anything about the dinner and speech making and the experience meeting until 10 o'clock of the day of the meeting. This is my excuse for not being able to respond to my call, except the call to dinner which was supplied to all in great plenty and of the best the country afforded, and was very highly appreciated by myself and I hope by everyone present. If in the whiri and rush of time I am living when the next reunion occurs I will promise to do my part (at the table) with the rest of you. Until that time let us labor together for each other's good and try to advance the interests of The Journal that The Journal may advance our interests. 11. C. Jackman.
Improvements at tlie Y.M. C. A. The social committee of the city Y. M. C. A. met Monday evening and after due consideration decided to purchase new furniture for the parlors. The chapel will also have its walls finished in the latest fashion, shows clearly that the Y. M. C. A. is here to stay with the people. A report was received from the secretary stating that the keys of the piano were thoroughly cleaned and henceforth there would be no danger of any performer's fingers sticking to the lcej-s. Visit the Y. M. C. A. and see how delightful the rooms are arranged.
The Living Half Lady.
The "Living Half Lady" is the title of a clever optical delusion in Bisehof's show window. The lady is very pretty and none other than Miss Maggie Bell, of Alaxno. Judging from the manner in which the young men gather in front of the window and stare Miss Bell can easily find another half if she feels the need of one.

'SQUIRE SCOTT.
The Octogenarian Justice Falls In the Creek While Fishing and Meets His Death.

Tuesday afternoon he was fishing in Coal Creek at Waynetown and in some way fell into the shallow water near the shore.

About half of our town could be safely removed or torn down, that is our business portion. The old sheds and houses are badly dilapidated and present a sorrowful sight, they being very dangerous in case of fire. They are unoccupied and aft'ord a hiding place for dangerous bacteria. The board of public safety should at least see that they are cleaned up, which would add to our liealthfulness.
While the fair of our town has been practically abandoned we could see no use in the action of the board in doing so. The advantages are far seen by exhibiting our farm productions and improvements in livestock. The people of this end of the county could not
