He presided at Columbia City, and the first case heard by the new judge was a damage case incidental to a horse trade.

He receives orders not only from here but from Lima, Celina, St. Marys and other towns in Ohio and from Portland, Geneva and other places in this state. Hon.

Many Decatur people have spoken for their Thanksgiving turkeys already. The weather continues to grow warmer and the balmy breeze of today reminds one of spring time. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Schnitz, of Fort Wayne, have arrived in the city for a several days’ visit with friends and relatives.

He was a bashful newly-married young man, wanted to surprise his wife with a new shirt waist and accordingly went to a Bluffton dry goods store to make the purchase. He blushingly told the young lady clerk what he wanted and she, wishing to help him all she could, leaned over the counter and with her very best smile asked: "What bust?” To which the young married man answered: .“I didn't hear anything, did you?” Glenn Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith, is laid up with a bad I gash in the thigh of his leg.

A curiosity connected with the Tommy Burns-Jack Johnson bout in Sydney, Australia, on December 26. at ! 11 a. m., is that the result of the con- ■ test will be known in Decatur on December 25. Christmas day. According ;to the experts at the United States • naval observatory, 11 'a. m., December 26, in Sydney will be 9 p. m. in Indianapolis, so, paradoxically speaking, people in this city will know how the battle resulted a day before it happened. George Ade says that when aeertain college president in Indiana, a clergyman, was addressing the students in the chapel at the beginning of the college year, he observed that it was "a matter of congratulation to all the | friends of the college that the year had opened with the largest freshman class in its history.” Then, without any pause, the gcod man turned to the lesson for the day, the third Psalm, and began to read in a voice of thunder: “ ‘Lord, how are they increased that trouble me!’” —December Lippincott's.

In it will be placed a stove, a bed and other necessary article. Jerome B. Hopkins, the Penn township farmer who was confined in the county jail on Wednesday of last week to lay out a fine and ocsts of $15.65 assessed against him in the court of Thomas J. Cartwright for intoxication, ended bls life in his cell lin the jail shortly before twelve o’clock Tuesday morning. The instrument used in inflicting the death producing wounds was an old and rusty pocket knife with which he made two ugly gashes in his throat severing his jugular vein and his life’s blood oozed out despite the heroic attempts of the physicians who were summoned soon after he had committed the act of self-destruction. — Portland Sun.
