Stick to Fuels.

Ward McClelland, the teacher at No. 1, Union township, complains of an item which appeared in the Wring Neck letter last week, and thinks it is a reflection on him as a teacher. He originally had thirteen pupils, two moved out of the district, two quit and oue has been added. So instead of the school dwindling to three he has had an attendance of ten instead of three as the itemizer reported it. Correspondents cannot be too careful in sticking to the facts.

A Token of Gsiutni,

As a mark of their high esteem and as an assurance of sincere friendship the friends of Mr. R. H. Allen with the assistance of Mrs. Allen, carried into execution Monday a well planned surprise upon him, the occasion being the anniversary of his 45th birthday. A sumptuous dinner was served and upon itssconclusion Mr. Michaels, of Darlington, in an appropriate address presented to Mr. Allen, on behalf of the gathered friends, a handsome gold headed cane. The event waB one thoroughly eDjoyed by all.

Weil.Imp of Harry W. Ward unci Miss llcrtha May Iterry— A llappy Sequel to a Novel Proposition.

The wedding of Mr. Harry Ward and Miss Bertha May Berry, which was solemnized at the residence of Mr. George Hummel at 11 o'clock a. m. Wednesday was, if reportb are true, the direct result of a novel proposition made in jest. Ward and Miss Berry, so it is said, have been engaged for some little time, but had never designated the day on which the marriage would occur.

Ward is a cigar maker for

Edward F. Winch has brought suit against Charley Veasey, Charles G. Medicus and Charles M. Crawford for the possession of the rooms in which is located the local board of trade and S',000 damages. Mr. Winch, in his complaint, stated that he rented the rooms in the Fi&her block and paid rent in advance. He states, however, that Medicus & Veasey, whom he claims were employes of his, by a trick of artifice, ousted him out of his jungle and tcok possession themselves. Be then avers that Mr. Crawford rented the rooms to Veasey & Medicus to the exclusion of him and that Crawford refused to accept rent from him. Mr. Winch states that he paid for all the paraphernalia and he wants possession along with 52,000, which amount he thinks he is damaged.

Had Mr. Iirown.

Freii/.ied because his mother refused to accede to his demand for money George Brown started in last Monday to exterminate the entire Brown tribe. "Bunty" Brown, a brother, simultaneously decided to impress upon George the fact that he was not capable of I performing the act. A fight resulted and the two participants basted each other to Fitzsimmon finish. Mrs.

Brown became hysterical at the sight and set up a series of screams that could be heard for blocks. Passers by rushed into the house and separated the combatants while more excitable individuals rushed up town to hunt the police, laboring under the delusion that George Brown was trying to cut short the existence of of his mother. The police were soon at the residence on north Walnut street but the pugilisticallv inclined George had gone. The lynx eyed minions of the law were unable to find him and it is probable that the festive young man has betaken himself to strange pastures for a brief spell.

A Kat hor Foggy Prospect.

Lebanon Reporter: It is reported that a Crawfordsville man is contemplating establishing a board of trade office here. The experience of such enterprises here iu the past ought to be'sufficient to make anyone think twice before acting rashly.

Humiuel, and that morning while hi' and his co-laborers were industriously rolliug into shape the smoke producing weed, something was said in regard to Wa d's getting married. 11 tell you what I'll do, Ward," spoke up one of Ward's associates, "if you will get married this morning I'll pay for the marriage license."

Ward answered him with a laugh. He had scarcely finished giving expression to his merriment, however, when he had a second and still stronger offer poked at him by another cigar man '•I'll even do better than that," said the fellow. "If you will consent to take a bride this morning I'll pay for the performing of the ceremony."

Ward grew sober, looked at his companions a moment and remarked: "I'll see about this and perhaps you fellows may have the pleasure of paying for my wedding." He went and hastily consulted his alliancee, 6he consented and he hurried back and informed his well wishing but joking friends to go and secure the necessary papers and a gentleman to perform the ceremony. The two gentlemen who had tnade the proposition were naturally abashed, but they were true to their word. One went and secured the marriage license, the other went after 'Squire Stilwell. The ceremony was performed at 11 o'clock in the presence of a small company of friends and the matter which started as. a joke ended in Miss Berry becoming Mrs. Ward.

Samuel McComas, an Aged and Higlily Kstceiiiel (.'Iti/.cn, Pirn From Paralysls ol tlie llrain.

Samuel McComas, a well known and highly esteemed citizen, died Tuesday morning shortly after 5 o'clock, at his home on west Pike street, from paralysis of the brain. The tfunetal occuired from the Christian church in Now Richmond Thursday morning at 11 o'clock, the Rev. T. J. Sliuey officiating. The services were under the auspices of the Masonic order,

Mr. McComas, who was 87 years of age, was born in Lewis county, Kentucky, near Concord, May 25, 1811, where he spent his boyhood days. At nine years of ago he moved with his parents to Adams county, Ohio, where lie resided until 1839, when he came to this county and located at New Richmond. He was twice married. His lirbt wife was Miss Maria Caw, whom he married in 1S39. She died in 1859. By that union there were six children, four of whom are living, namely: William, David, DeLoss and Frank.

In 1800 ho was wedded to Mrs. Susan Pitts, who survives him. To them were born eight children, six of whom live, namely: Mrs. Henry Hays, Mrs. William Dewey, of New Richmond, Mrs. John Swearingen, Louise, Mima and Robert McComas. Mr. McComas was a staunch Democrat and a man, before the weight of years settled heavily upon him, whp6e counsel was ever welcome in the party work. He was a justice of the peace at New Richmond for twenty two consecutive years, and it was during that period'i that he acquired the title of 'Squire, which official distinction he has since carried and by which name he was most familiarly known. He was an earnest and zealous member in the Christian church, in which faith he became a believer in 1832.: He joined the Masonic lodge at Pleasant Hill in 1840. Mr. McComas was a man of sterling principles, honored by his associates in business affairB and in whose character integrity was the predominating attribute. Ho was an indulgent, kind father and husband, on esteemed neighbor and a true citizen in whose death the public sustains a serious loss.

B. FAY MILLS ROASTED.

Tlie fiospel Message Doubtful Whether Not, His Own Sius Have Kver ISeen WiiHhcd Away.

The Qoxp'cl Memiye, in its last issue says concerning Rev. B. Fay Mills, who conducted evangelical services hero several years ago: "The recent public turning of B. Fay Mills to the Unitarians seems to have aroused no small commotion among the churches and with one accord they wonder at the downfall of so good a man. "We believe, however, that the reason of real astonishment is not in his recent utterances, but that for 60 many years BO goodly a number of God's children were deceived in this man. It seemed enough to many persons that he was popular—that he drew the people—that he spoke good devotional— that he secured a great many signers to certain cards, and that he could arrange matters so that the money needed to defray the expenses could be raised and 6o under the popular craze of those evil days for big meetings, big professions and little truth and real sacrifice, these seeming nice things set him off to good advantage and gave him a cordial welcome far and wide. But having known something of his work for years, we believed long ago ihat he was a dangerous "Christian worker," and we doubt whether of not his own sins have ever been washed away."
