I C. M. Meyer, of Geneva, was a business caller to our city today. Sam Acker, of Geneva, was a business caller to our city today. Mike McGriff, of Geneva, was a business caller to our city today. J. B. Stoneburner returned this morning from a business trip at Geneva. Mrs. George Roop went to Matthews today to attend the funeral of Mrs. Ed. Brush wilier. Mrs. John Mayer returned this morning from Monroe, where she was visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Scherer. Robert Harding and wife, of Fort Wayne, were here Saturday afternoon, visiting the latter’s parents, W. J. Myers and wife. Otto Burs, an outfielder of last year’s Dayton Central league team and later with the Decatur club, has written the local management asking for a try-out here this summer. He is known to be a good man both in the field and at the stick. —Bluffton Banner. Chauncey Stetson, the janitor at the South Ward school house, met with a very painful accident this morning while cleaning the wash basins at the school house. He was using Red Seal lye and in some manner got some of it in his right eye, causing him much pain. Joseph Minch and Co., of Geneva, are moving their stock of goods here from that town and expect to occupy the room in the Bimel Block recently vacated by the Durbin dry goods store. The stock has been greatly replenished, and it is expected to be open to the public some time this week. —Portland Commercial-Review. Levi Kohler, the erratic German who has been in jail for some time because of his drunken carousal at Vera Cruz, during which he annoyed Rosie Stanfleigh, a young girl, was released from jail Saturday when his brother appeared and paid his fine. Kohler has been in trouble several times before, but drink is always at the bottom of his difficulties—Bluffton Banner. The horse sale to be held Friday under the auspices of the Decatur Horse Sale Compay according to the views of the managers will be the best sale yet conducted by this institution. Seventy-five head of horses are now guaranteed at their stables and fifty more will be added by Thursday night. The horses are all good ones and there are some very pretty teams among the list. When P. A. Allen opened his office this morning as superintendent of the city schools, he found upon his desk a handsome floral horsehoe bearing a card signifying that the gift was from former graduates of the school. Mr. Allen was deeply impressed with this display of friendship from those whom he had presided over in the past and desires to thank every one who had a part in the pleasant little surprise.— Bluffton Banner. A woman who is acknowledged by all who know her to be not only clever and brilliant, but possessed of sound sense, said to a friend: “There is never any necessity for accidents” and although this many sound paradoxical, it is a great truth. The accidents that occur are the result of ignorance of natural laws. How can we hope to live without making great mistakes if we are blind to the law of cause and effect? A trifle less belief in and use of the term “luck" will place us all where there are fewer accidents. It's a rather good thing sometimes to ponder the advisability of using the brains with which Providence has seen fit to endow us; to use them to forge our own “luck” and so prevent accidents. o FOLK'S MESSAGE IS READ. Jefferson City, Mo., April 9. —Governor Folk's message to the extra session of the legislature sounds the states rights slogans. It is believed he has launched his Democratic presidential boom by so doing.

His soul’s ambition is for the greatest progress, and broadest results for the institution for which he is sacrificing his life and energies, that Taylor University may be “justified of her children.” Fort Wayne College has left her mark on society. Taylor, with her enlarged opportunities, her broad foundation, her increased facilities, her royal standard of high ideals, and her determination strengthened by obstacles surmounted,is destined to leave her stamp of clean, cultured, intelligent, high grade citizenship on generations yet unborn.

A Baltimore man was one afternoon seated in a dentist’s anteroom, waiting his turn, when a young woman, evincing every evidence of utmost agitation at the thought of submitting to an ordeal, entered and took a seat beside him. Very shortly thereafter a series of piercing shrieks came from the operating room, whereupon the timid young woman sprang from her seat in terror and, grasping the arm of the colored attendant, gasped: “Ob, what is that? Oh, what is that?” “It ain’t nothin’, miss,” the darky hastened to assure her. “It's only a patient that’s bein’ treated free of charge.”—Harper's Weekly. An Important Notice.
