A LITTLE TALK ON THE SUBJECT OF

Boots and Shoes

Very few people are competent to judge the real value of

Footwear when it is new. There are so many ways to counter­

feit and imitate leather that it is easy to deceive a buyer. It

generally happens that buyers have to take the shoeman's word

for it in the end. So you see a good deal hinges on picking out

the right shoeman. You will find the right shoes at

CRABBS-GARDKER.

Tlio nrriiifjfi of Two Popular Young I'oople Happily Consummated Wednesday Evening.

On Wednesday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gardner occurred the marriage of their daughter, Miss Effie, to Mr. Tully C. Crabbs. The handsome home was most artistically adorned for the happy nuptial event and nothing had been spared to make the decoration perfect and complete. The chrysanthemum was the flower most in evidence and, in fact, it might be said that it was a chrysanthemum wedding. In the music room the lights were shaded green and the draperies were tastefully hung with vines. In the parlor, where the ceremony occurred, the shade was pink, and the mantels and tables were banked with chrysanthemums of varied hues, the curtains being trimmed with ferns and smilax, ja the ast parlor the color was yellow and chrysanthemums of this shade alone were to be seen. In this room Miss Nellie Gardner served punch during the evening from a bowl artistically hidden by flowers and yines. It was at 7:45 o'clock, when the 125 invited guests bad assembled, that Prof. Edui6 Braridkailip began the Lnhengrin march to which the bridal party entered. The party entered from the music room to the parlor and was headed by Master Lawrence DeVore and little Miss Florence Gardner, sister of the bride. Each of these two carried a bruad band of white satin ribbon, and advancing from the music room they formed an aisle, down which the others of the party followed to the southwest corner of the parlor, where, beneath a floral bower, the wedding service occurred. The bride and groom entered unattended and, preceded by the officiating clergymen, Rev. Claude Travis, of Frankfort, and Rev. Dr. Leech. The bride, a remarkably pretty young lady, was attired in a most becoming costume of creme morie crepe, pearl trimmings, high neck and long sleeves. She carried-:' bride's rdses with setting of maiden hair ferns. Miss Florence Gardner wore creme wool with ribbons. The ceremony was performed in in a most happy manner by Rev. Mr., Travis and ineluded the responsive service of the Methodist Episcopal church. The service concluded with prayer by Dr. Leech. During the ceremony Prof. Brandkamp played softly "Love's Sweet Song," and immediately upon its conclusion played the wedding march, to which the wedding party and guests repaired to the dining room, where a sumptuous wedding collation was' served. In the dining room the decorations were especially artistic. Broad satin ribbons of pink and white entwined with smilax suspended from the ceiling to the corners of the bride's table, while the draperies of the room were hung with ferns and vines and brightest flowers. After refreshments the evening was most pleasantly passed by the guests, upon whose retirement the. bride and groom were driven to their new home, on west Main street, which, newly and handsomely furnished, awaited their reception. The bride was made the recipient of an unusually large number of very elegant and costly presents from her friends. Mr. and Mrs. Crabbs have the congratulations and best wishes of a wide circle in their happy union. The groom is one of Crawfordsville's most popular and successful young business men and a member of the firm of Crabbs, Reynolds & Co. The bride, while her residence in Crawfordsville has not been a long one, has endeared herself to many by her accomplishments and graces. Among those present at the wedding from out of the city were: Mrs. Stephen Clark, Mrs. Smith and Misses IdaFoudry and Jessie Fry, of Indianapolis Mrs. Leslie Thomas, of Chicago Mr. Claude Gardner, of Russellville Misses Grace, Myrtle and Queen Allen, of Greencastle Messrs. H. W. Sigmond and Gray Potter, of Jeffersonville Captain and Mrs. J. N. Smiley, of Greencastle, and Rev. Claude Travis, of Frankfort.

On next Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Crabbs, at their home on south Water street, will give a large reception in honor of the bride and groom of Wednesday evening.

Tlio Individual communion Cups to Ho Used at the First Methodist Church.

It is understood that on next Sunday morning Rev. Dr. Leech will preach a discourse explaining and endorsing the method of administering the Holy Communion by individual cups. It is to be so administered in the First M. E. church on the Sunday following. The church has ordered the line of narrow tables that come with the handsome individual glasses. These tables extend inside of the altar from one end of the altar to the other, and will contain eighteen vessels of wafers and three or four hundred miniature glasses. Rev. Dr. Leech claims that it is the most beautiful, brief, impressive, cleanly and healthy method of receiving the Lord's Supper and is endorsed by Bishop Vincent and numerous distinguished pastors who have seen the method tried. Dr. Leech will present some of these testimonials. He prophecies that the old method will rapidly disappear in the churches and that the new method is in perfect harmony with the ordinance and the deepest solemnity of the observance. Bishop John II. Vincent, L. L. D., rejcently administered the Lord's §upper to the hundreds of ministers in the

Ohio confcrerce Then he wrote thesfl words "I engaged in the administration of the Holy Sacrament at Ironton with some misgivings because of the novelty of the situation. Before the administration of the elements to the presiding elders had been reached in the order of the service, I was fully satisfied with its wisdom and beauty. The silence, the subdued and subduing music of the organ, the impressive utterance of each formula, the expedition and ease of the whole service, removed from me every vestige of doubt and hesitation. I heartily commend the simultaneous method."

Temporarily Withdraws.

Lebanon Pioneer: Eld. E. T. Lane, who has so etlicently and faithfully served the Disciple church of this city for five years past, has been compelled by his recent illness to retire from the ministry, temporarily, at least. His present arrangements are to remove to his Putnam county farm next March, and in the fall to Greencastle, where he will put his children in DePauw University. Eld. Lane's pastorate has been one of continued success. The membership has been more than doubled and the church's influence broadened accordingly. The ailliction which has resulted in his retirement is universally regretted, and our people all unite in wishing him speedy and complete recovery, that he may again S take up the work in which he has been so useful.

The church has extended a call to Dr. D. R. Lucas, of Indianapolis.

Love In Tlmtr Heart* Idly lturns as Fire In Antique Homan Urns.

Lebanon Pioneer: About the first of October Samuel lleicliard, of Crawfordsville, came to Lebanon on a brief visit along with his son-in-law, T. J. Buck, the well known picture dealer. Although the snows of seventy-eight winters had frosted Mr. Reicliard's locks, his heart was yet susceptible to the tender passions of love, and while here he met Mrs. Mary E. Heath, relict of the late James M. Heath. Mrs. Heath was his junior by ten years. The fires of youth were immediately rekindled in both their aged breasts—it was a case of love at first sight. An engagement was the inevitable result, and within a few days—on the 13th of October, to be exact—they were married.

For a few weeks the course of true love flowed smoothly, to all appearances, but the honeymoon did not last long. As the old couple began to to get better acquainted their shortcomings were magnified in each others' eyes,

and on the 14th inst., Mr. Reichard left his bride of one month. Two days later Mrs. Reichard employed Attorney Shelby, and a suit for divorce was filed.

In her complaint Mrs. Heath alleged that the defendant falls short in her ideal of a husband in many ways. First of all he is impotent and afllicted with dropsy, instead of baing the souad man that he claimed to be. Next, he represented before marriage that he had S500 in cash and a pension of S15 per month, when in reality his possessions consisted of a little home worth about §500 and a pension of 812. It is also alleged that the plaintiff was compelled to do her own work while the defendant sat around taking his ease. The case promises to be one of interest to the baldheads.

A New ®3 Counterfeit,

Major Carter of the government secret service bureau, is looking for the manufacturer and circulator of a new two dollar bill, which is being freely distributed. The counterfeits are silver certificates, series of 185)1, E. H. Nebeker, Treasurer. The counterfeit is a good copy of the original bill, but slightly larger. On the counterfeit the eyes in the likeness of Windom appear larger than in the genuine. On the counterfeit the second "e" in Nebeker's name is distinctly made, while in the genuine the "e" is made to look like an "i." There are other defects which an expert can see.

Mr. Hnuk Beaten. V?

Some months ago a Linden justice of the peace appointed Wilbur G. Houk to defend a poor person accused of some misdemeanor in that locality. Mr. Houk presented a bill to the Board of Commissioners, who refused to allow it. Their decision was upheld by the circuit court from which Mr. Houk appealed to the Appellate Court. Judge Lotz, of that body handed down a decision Tuesday upholding the Montgomery circuit court. He held that a justice of the peace has no power to appoint an attorney to defend a poor person.

Montgomery Leads Them All. Montgomery county stands at the head of all the counties in the State in her yield of corn. The Indiana bureau of statistics has issued its bulletin and credits this county with a yield of 3,187,031 bushels of corn on 74,117 acres, an average of 43 bushels to the acre. Boone county comes second with a yield of 2,741,121 bushels on 03,747 acres. Montgomery as usual is the banner county of the State. Not only is her yield the largest but the average to the acre is the greatest as well. The yield per acre in some counties is as low as 25 bushels per acre, while very few have as high as 40 bushels.

Married at Kighty-Seven.

Rev. R. D. Trick, of Franklin, will occupy the pulpit of the First Baptist church on Sunday morning and evening.

THE DEADLY CORN BUSKER.

Charley Warren Loses Ills Left Hand While Feeding the Dangerous Machine.

No labor saving machine invented in modern times has been so attended with serious accidents in its working as the corn liusker. At this season of the year the papers are full of accounts of fatal and serious accidents which have occurred in the operation of these machines. The list of such casualties in this oounty was augmented on Wednesday by the injury of Charley Warren, son of George Warren, of near Shannondale. The corn husker was operating on the widow Shaver's farm and young Warren was engaged in feeding it. The machinery becoming clogged he reached in to adjust the difficulty when his arm was caught. His left hand was torn off entirely and his arm badly mangled before the machine could be stopped. It was some time after this before he could be released from his awful position, he having been dragged partially into the machine. It was necessary to take the husker partially to pieces to get the young man out. Medical aid wps hastily summoned, Dr. Ensminger going out from here.

Unless the shock

co his nervous system prpyes fatal, th§ young man will recover.

A Further Plea.

Ihe streets of Pompeii buried under the ashes of centuries gone,

Yet my enlightened fellow citizens, what are many of us doing to-day? Loaded down with the prejudices of times past we have failed to change our guage and are traveling in the ruts of ages long dead held there by burdens voluntarily and unnecessarily carried.

As the physician probes the wound he would heal, let us»lay aside our timidity and open up and view with sympathy the terrible personal injuries and wrongs that intoxicating drinks have done for us and our neighbors in every community in this county, and having examined the ulcer with the powerful lens of truth let us apply the specific remedy that is now at hand.

We are dull, we are forgetful. One generation rapidly succeeds another and the mistakes, the errors, the folly in the lives that are gone should serve as beacon lights to warn us from the reefs of certain destruction.

Yet they are covered by the green sod, and the ilowers that spring from their graves tend to efface from the memory the lessons of practical truth that we all must apply in the time that is still our own.

Time will to ea^h of us, now active on the stage of life, shortly be ours no more.

Truth will then shine forth and either illumine our lives as the mild incandescent light or strike us dumb and scorch and destroy us as does the full current from the power house.

Canon Farar has wisely said: "There is only one real failure in life possible and that is, not to be true to the best one knows."
