This circuit now has twelve members and is advertised with the State fair. The circuit enables exhibitors to enter July 29 at Bainbridge and go through the circuit to the middle of October, the last fair being at Bedford.

MORKIS-HKKAKS.
One of the happiest and most delightful weddings occurred 011 Feb. 27, at 7:30 p. m.. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Morris, nine miles north of the city. The happy parties were Mr. Wilbert Breaks and Miss Flora Morris. The bride was dressed in white duchess silk, trimmed with lace to match. She also wore Maiechal Neil roses and held in her hand a beautiful wreath of orange blossoms. Her appearance both in dress and features was all that could be desired. The groom was dressed in a rich black suit of the most recent style. Mr. Breaks is one of the promising young men of tliis county. He is engaged in the best occupation that the country affords, that of farming: The young couple have the best wishes of hosts of friends. They start in life with the fairest prospects and there is no doubt but they will make a success. The supper showed the broad and bountiful hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Morris. About, thirty small tables had been prepared in the spacious dining room and reception room. About these 108 persons gathered. The culinary supply seemed exhaustless, course after course was brought on by the polite waiters till all had been served with ten or a dozen different courses. Every one pronounced the supper a great success. The orderly and complete arrangement of the whole affair reflects great credit on Mr. and Mrs. Morris. Dr. II. A. Tucker pronounced the ceremony in his usual impressive manner. The ring ceremony was used. The presents were elegant and too numerous to be mentioned. Among them were some very valuable pieces of furniture, all seemed to have been presented with a thought for usefulness. A beautiful wedding march, by Mendelssohn, was played by Miss Clara Martin, the attendant being Mr. Miller, of Lafayette. About midnight the people left their good wishes and started for home, feeling that two more young people had been started on a happy voyage.
DKNM AN-HASTINGS.
Un February 27 at the residence of Robert Ilolman, near Alamo, Joel M. Denman and Mary Hastings were married. A reception was tendered them the following day at the residence of the groom's mother, at which a bounteous repast was served to about seventy-five guests. During the reception Truax's orchestra rendered music of a high class. The groom is one of the most substantial young farmers in Ripley township, while the bride is a popular young lady. The young couple have many friends who join in the congratulations.

MARITAL BLISS. ONE YEAR OLD.
Trihe of lten-imr lias Had Twelve Months of liemarkuhle (irowtli. a Record Never Kquaied I5y a Fraternal
Order In the World.
It was one year ago last Friday that the Tribe of Hen-Hur was instituted in Crawfordsville. In that short year it has grown from nothing at all to a respectable position among the fraternal orders of the country, and if the present ratio of increase is kept up it will in a very few years be at the head of them all. The total membership of the order up to and including February 28 was 1908. Among men versed in the workings of fraternal orders this is considered nothing short of phenomenal. The largest number ever secured the first year iu any other order of this kind was 700 in the Knights of Maccabees. The total membership of the A. O. U. W. at the end of its fitst three years was only 500. So it can be readily seen that the Tribe of Ben-Hur is an unusually sturdy youngster. As a matter of fact nearly all of this growth has taken place since last September, the months before that being occupied in getting the necessary preliminary work done. Of the 1908 members 1205 are insured. There are fifty-one courts divided among the States as follows: Indiana 23, Nebraska 12, Ohio 7, Missouri 3, Iowa 2, California 1, Colorado I, New York 1, Kansas 1. Crawfordsville is very much interested in the future of the Tribe of Ben-Hur. As it spreads it will more and more be an advertisement for the town. Its literature will be sent out by the hundred thousand copies, scattered broadcast from Maine to California and every piece will have Crawfordsville 011 it. Immense sums of money will be brought here through the order and every citizen should have a good word for it. F. L. Snyder, D. W. Gerard and other leading spirits in the enterprise are to be congratulated upon the result of their labors. They now have ten organizers in the field and consequently expect a much greater development this year than last.
"TRILBY TEAS.
Dr. Tucker DoeB Not Helleve That They are Just, the l'roper Capei.
Trilby, Trilby, give us a rest, oh do! I'or the world Is nearly tired to death of you, \ou'ro not the girl lor a marriage,
Klttier with or without a carriage. So on those feet So trim and neat,
Walk olf for a year or two. Miss Trilby O'Ferrall, got decidedly the worst of it Sunday evening at the hands of Dr. Tucker, who lectured at the Y. M. C. A. hall on "Shams." There was a goodly audience present and Dr. Tucker began the lecture by a few pertinent remarks regarding fashions. He failed to see a good reason for a number of things. He did not see why, when a young lady of great wealth became cranky and roached her hair up like a Comanche Indian, that all the other young ladies should try to look like Comanche Indians, too. Again it was a matter of wonder to him that hordes of young men should emulate the example of some dude who returned from Europe with pointed shoes, and not be satisfied until they also had pointed shoes no matter if they fell down a dozen times a day.
The subject particularly discussed by Tucker, however, was Du Maurier's great creation, "Trilby." Dr. Tucker received a copy of "Trilby" for a Christmas present and he read it through. The Doctor stated that it had been a source of growing wonder to him ever since as to what people saw in this book to rave about. So far as he was concerned lie could see neither style, story, point or morality anywhere in the whole book. There wasn a page in it fit to read and no man or woman worthy the name of father or mother would place sucli vicious literature in the hands of his or her children. Dr. Tucker maintained quite emphatically that the book was not literature but rot and rot of the worst kind. He believed that it should never have been brought from the contaminated atmosphere of Paris. Dr. Tucker ridiculed the fad and declared that within three months everyone would blush to acknowledge that he had read the tiling. The Doctor was rather astonished to note to what extremes the fad had gone. "Why, some of our churches and society people are now giving 'Trilby Teas.' On my part I fail to see what correct distinction there is between this and giving a tea in honor of one of the Crawfordsville Trilbys. I understand there are about fifty 'Trilby's' in Crawfordsville."
Dr. Tucker was pretty certain that no parent in this city would complacently behold his son or daughter sitting at the table by the side of one of the Crawfordsville Trilbys. The lecture was quite a spicy one and the worshippers of Du Maurier who were present probably never attended such an idol smashing in all their born days.
PART FIRST
FROM FLORIDA.
Sam It. TIioiiihh Writes 1 liferentingly of the titute of Atl'alrH In tli« I.and of Flowers.
To tlie Editor Tho Journal.
Rocki.kixik, Fla., Feb. 27, 1895.— Florida has suffered some pretty hard knocks this winter, and for a time after the freeze everyone was "hands up," and every orange tree in the State was given up for lost, along with all the fruits and flowers. From Louisville to Jacksonville, on the way down, we were delayed just one day by the severity of the weather down in Georgia there was snow and ice everywhere and the people were using every sort of thing that could be made into a sleigh or sled, the novelty of it making them quite hilarious. Jacksonville was chilly and uncomfortable, as unlike Florida as could be, and we hurried on to get down into the Indian River country, considered by many the most delightful part of the State. When we came into the orange district the damage done by the frost was most apparent, the trees in the groves being bare and leafless, while the ground under them was hidden from ground under them was hidden from sight by the fallen oranges. All along the river it is just the same, the crop, usually large and full, a total loss.
The growers were just making ready to pick, opening up their picking houses, preparing the boxes and wrappers and hiring their help, etc., when the freeze came and in one night ruined all.
The fruit was so fine and the crop so large, that but few grove owners had contracted their crops, preferring to hold and sell after picking and now men that would have been comparatively rich, are left without a dollar. Young trees seem to lie killed, but it is now believed that the old trees will pull through all right. Then too, Florida lias lost much and California gained, perhaps, because now Florida is not Florida, and people coming for the first time, will iu all probability, never return. The flowers and vines and the tropical plants are all killed, even the palmettos are in some meas? lire nipped and brown. In spite of all this, Ilockledge is beautiful and delightful and there is some green color left in the palms and well kept lawns about the hotels, awhile the hanging moss attracts those unused to seeing it. The river here is about two miles wide, the hotels being built quite near the bank, with their verandas Jbuilt out over the water, in the shape of pavillions, and here, at night, the ''hops" are given and the band plays during the day. There are many yachts and naptha launches, houseboats and all sorts of.icraft. The fishing is good, sailing the best, so the river is gay and full of life all the time. Every morning we go out on the veranda to see some new yacht anchored in the river and wonder who she is, so they come and go. The thermometer registers from 00 degrees at 8 o'clock to 7 degrees at 3 o'clock. We wear summer clothes and sit about, windows and doors open, and read of blizzards in the North. Sam B. Thomas.
Lecture on Lincoln.
McPherson Post, No. 7, G. A. R., on Saturday evening accepted the invitation of Dr. 11. J. Cunningham to attend Center church in a body to listen to his address on Abraham Lincoln on Sunday evening. The Post met at headquarters at 7 o'clock, marched to church and occupied the seats which had been reserved. Appropriate hymns were sung by the choir and Dr. J. F. Tuttle offered prayer. Dr. Cunningham's subject might be termed the humanity side of Lincoln and elaborated his theme to show that he more than any other human being that everalived more nearly approached the Son of Man. Like the Nazarene he sprang from the poor and lowly. The lecture was a close analysis of the character of the great emancipator viewed from the standpoint of an altruist. It was listened to attentively not only by the members of the Post but by the large audience present, and many expressed the desire that the lecture should be printed. The Doctor was warmly congratulated at the close of the services by many who stepped forward to extend their hands and personally thank him for the grand words spoken.
Next Sunday's Kcll]ffie.
March this year is favored with two elipses—one of the moon, which will be total, and one of the sun, which will be partial. The first will be visible all over the United States and takes place the evening of March 10. The times of the phases in our time are as follows: Moon enters shadow at 9:45 p. m., total eclipse begins 10:52 p. m. middle of eclipse 11:30 p. m. total eclipse ends 12:27 a. m. moon leaves shadow, 1:25 a. m. The othereclipse, that of the sun on March 25, will not be visible anywhere in the United States.
