Several new residences are at present under construction in the Scheiman addition in the south part of the city, and that part of the city bids fair to out rival any other section of our town in the way of building up.

Mr. William DeVilbiss, one of Allen county’s foremost authorities on fruit growing, is quoted as saying that fruit in Allen county has not been damaged at all by the recent frosts and that prospects favor a good fruit crop in this immediate locality.

Strawberries, he is quoted as saying, were not hurt but will bear late on account of the unfavorable weather. —Journal-Gazette.

John Schurger, of Decatur, was aere on some abstract business last Thursday. He has been in the abstract business in this county for thirty-one years and located in this county in 1862.

He is still active in business and is a partner of Attorney David E. Smith. —Geneva Herald. The Clover Leaf officials have issued a circular wherein it is stated that all the employes of the road whose duties pertain to the operating department, will be compelled to undergo an examination in the near future, to ascertain whether or not they are capable and competent to fulfill the different positions that are entrusted in their care. The circular does not state the exact time the examination will take place, but it is thought that it will be held in the near future.—Frankfort Crescent. Sheep shearing in the country is now in full blast. The price of wool the past few years has sent the price of sheep higher than it has been in years, and as a result there are probably more of the animals kept now than there have been in the last decade. Every one having sheep have kept them, where in previous years it was not unusual for a farmer to sell off his entire flock in the fall, buying only a small lot in the spring. In many instances farmers have paid as high as sls and $lB for one good ewe. Dr. J. L. Smith, former county auditor, was in the city yesterday on business and calling on friends in the court house.

Occasionally he assists his son in his medical practice, but devotes most of his time to farming. Dr. Smith says the frost a few nights ago did a great deal of damage.—Journal-Gazette.

Wayne Shamrocks left this morning for Chicago, where they will play a Saturday and Sunday game with Calahan's city league team. The Shamrocks have not been defeated this season, and are confident of giving the Chicago lads a hard battle for the two games. The Corner Gun and Rod club arrived last evening from Ft. Wayne, where they played yesterday and will indulge in two games with the locals. They were defeated at Bluffton yesterday by a score of 8 to 0, but say in connection that they received a very rotten deal all along the line. This is the team that defeated Bluffton several days ago, and at which time the Bluffton fans talked of disbanding. Diamond D, the fast pacing horse that has been owned and raced by Decatur people for several years, was sold today at the morse sale for $325. | This horse was in a mixup in a race, and had its knee hurt, consequently the value of the horse is not considered so high as before. Diamond D is one of the fastest horses that has ever been owned by Adams county people, and many regret to see it taken away. The local team will leave Sunday morning via the interurban railway to Ft. Wayne, thence to Garrett, where they will play Monday. They go to Portland and play the world beaters, returning home on Tuesday and Wednesday, when they take on the fast Frankfort bunch.

J. H. Chamberlain, the big horseman from Indianapolis, was in our city today attending the horse sale. Mr. Chamberlain weighs something like three hundred and fifty pounds, and is very active for a heavy man. He has been in the horse business for a number of years and is considered one of th best judges of horse flesh that ever came to our city. He came here with the intention of purchasing three car load of horses which will be shipped to eastern markets.
