Last Friday at their residence on north Water street Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Gregg were at home ^o about one hundred and thirty guests, the entertainment being in honor of Mr and Mrs. Charles M. Crcgg. The affair was a very delightful one and nothing had been left undone which might contribute to the comfort and pleasure of the guests. The rooms were handsomely adorned, the parlor being decorated with American Beauty roses and the other rooms in chrysanthemums and vines. A wealth of smilax and variantly shaded electric lights had al*o been employed in the decoration and a most pleasing effect was produced. The receiving party was composed of Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Gregg and Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Gregg. The assistants in the parlors were Mrs. Henry Sloan, Mrs. C. S. Wynn, Miss Clara Crawford, and Miss Martha Julian. A caterer had charge in the dining room where an elaborate collation was served. The reception was a delightful one in all its details.

Prohibitionists Make Great Gains In the State.

Secretary Clark, of the Prohibition state committee has received over a hundred letters and cards from various parts of Lhe state, every one of which gives an increase in the Prohibition vote. In many precincts the vote of 189.S has been doubled and a substantial increase is shown in all.

The Prohibitionists elected 'Everett, T. Hopkins trustee of Browu township, Hendricks county, and from Liberty township. Grant county, conies the report that the Prohibitionists ducted three of the township ollicers.

The returns from the state indiea'c that there will be a net gain of two votes to the precinct, which will mean saw a total vote in the state of a little over and

INDIANA'S GROWTH.

There Is Nothing the Matter With the lloosler State.

It is now in order for the lustylunged loyal lfoosier to lift his megaphone and inquire of the rest of the world, "What's the matter with Indiana?" says the Chicago Times-Herald.

The oHicial returns of the twelfth census fully justify the claim that there is "nothing the matter with Indiana." While the Hoosier state has enjoyed the distinction of having the center of population for the union within its borders for two decades, and will enjoy that distinction for another decade, it has also come to the front with an' enviable showing in the way of an increase over the population of 1890. The official returns give the population of the state in 1900 as t2,.r»K,4G2, as against 2.192.40-1 in 1890, a gain of 14.07 per cent.

While this percentage of increase over 1890 is not remarkable, it at the same time shows a steady and gratifving gain, making Indiana the eighth state in the union in point of number of inhabitants. The gain is all the more satisfactory when it is remembered that the state has no very large city and hei.ee is at a considerable disadvantage in the race for population as compared with many other states in the union. States with many large cities like Yew York, Massachusetts and Ohio, will siiow larger percentages of gain because of the increasing drift, of Americans to.vard large centers of urban life and activity.

While Indiana has made its satisfactory gains in spite of the lack of big cities, it is noted that the largest increase in population are in tho counties

containing its largest cities such as myte f. but I

Muncie, Marion and Anderson. The growth of Indiana in population, manufacturing, electric street railways, municipal improvements. and in educational and moral activities that contribute to the general advancement of her people is a matter of justifiable pride to loyal Hoosiers.

The Big Store Force.

The employes of the Big Store Saturday deposited with the treasurer of the Union Hospital two hundred dollars for the hospital fund. This splendid

band of men and women gave at the Y. M. C. A. armory on Monday night, Nov.5, from which they realized

One of the most popular teachers of the little folks in one of our Sunday schools had a very antusing experience la-t week. The lady in question had several teeth that are liiled with gold, and last Sunday she noticed three little tots that were new additions to her class watching her closely and eonversing very earnestly. Monday morning there came an energetic ring at her door bell and upon going to the door she beheld tho three youngsters in question.

"1 remember the first baby show that I ever attended," said John Fallen last week. "It was held in December, 1878, and 1 was one of the judges. Associated with me wero A. C. .lennison, J. A. Hcoe, II. H. Uistine, A. H. Kraden and James Wright, at that time all old bachelors. The show was held in connection with a blue ribbon fair, the temperance movement being very strong then. There were prizes for the handomest boy baby and the prettiest girl baby. They tri^d to get live old maids to pass on the merits of the girl babies, the age limit to bo over thirty years. There were none in the town, however, and we had to pass on bot sexes. We awarded the lirst prize for tho boys to Elb?rt Scott, tho son of

Mr. and Mrs. Uriah Scjtt, and the girl's prize to Miss Minnie Stroh, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs J. W. Stroh. The prizes were awatded by John Courtney in one of his happiest speoches and the aiTair occasioned much comment and while there were so mo people that dissented from tho decision of the judges, we felt that we were right." •wv

satisfied my own mind on the bear-

I that this is uncontrovertible. If the persimmon ripens and falls early, the winter will be brief, but if it holds on to the tree late in tho fall the winter is very liable to be late in its wind up and severe while it prevails. The animals, are preparing for a cold winter, and there are some reasons for believing I lhat they know what they are about."
