FORT WAYNE PRESBYTERY Will Hold Special Session Tomorrow. Fort Wayne, Ind., Dec. 15.—For the purpose of considering the actual solution of problems of church manage-I ment and especially of church finances | the Fort Wayne Presbytery has been I asked to hold a special meeting in this city December 16 at the Westminster Presbyterian church. The meeting will begin at 10:30 a. m. and continue thrqughout the day. Dr. John Dixon, secretary of the New York board, and the Rev. A. F. McGarrah, special representative, an expert in the problems of church benevolence and finance, will be present. Dr. George Knox, syncdical superintendent of home missions, will also participate. o The announcements of the Decatur I merchants elsewhere in this issue | should be read carefully by every i Democrat reader. See the bargains, j Newton Anderson, member of the I fi r m of Anderson & Baker, is a very I busy man these days, not- only with ' the holiday trade, but likewise at I practicing a song, one cf the mostj beautiful ballads ever composed,which he is to render at the Elks minstrel and which is guaranteed to bring tears to the eyes of every one in the audience. His neighbors object to his practicing in the woodshed. While the name of the song has not been officially given out. it is rumored to sound something like “The hearts outpouring of a poor lonely sandwich oi who dropped the hair in the butter.” Adam Ritchie, of Craigville, was a visitor in this city today and while here imparted the information that two Craigville youths got badly left last evening. The two ardent swains in question were Messrs. Davenport and Robinold, facetiously known to their intimates as “Cotton Top” and “Flink.” They went a courting two pretty misses living about four miles from Craigville and while they were within doors pressing their respective suits the horse which had hauled them thither broke loose and went back to town so that the two boys had to walk in. Adam says that the statement that the boys got left refers to the horse not to the girls.— Bluffton News.

Word from Craigville is to the effect that Dr. D. C. Huffman of that place, has been in a serious condition for several days with a peculiar affliction which has proven a puzzle to him and to his friends. His system appeared to become sluggish and at times his knees would give way suddenly beneath him aijd he would almost fall to the ground, and his system in other ways appeared to become numbed and some of the organs almost refused to perform their props’ functions. It was necessary for him to take to his bed and he has been confined there for several days. It is said that the doctor himself feared that he would be stricken with paralysis and much alarm was felt by him and his family. Today he is reported to be better and to be slowly improving and it is thought he will be able to be around again soon.
