Within a few days the Hoagland State bank will be in operation. The building has been completed and everything is being placed in readiness for the opening.

Murray returned yesterday afternoon from Geneva, bringing with him his new automobile. Mr. Murray had the machine on the street last night and it is a beauty.

Arrangements are being made for a ball game to be played between the Modern Woodmen and Elks’ teams Thursday night and it will undoubtedly be a hot contest. Both teams have some very good talent. A movement is on foot for the organization of a ball club in this city to be composed of local talent, and in all probability this city will be represented by a strong aggregation. Tom Miller went to Toledo this morning, where he will spend the day as the guest of the Toledo chamber of commerce, which entertains the railroad agents and newspaper men on roads running out of that city.— Bluffton Banner.

Johnson Brothers, of Monroe, are announcing a big cut price sale which will begin this week. A male chorus is practicing for the rendition of special music on Decoration Day. The program will be very interesting. Prof. Leo Lackey, who has been released from the Adams county jail upofi a decision of Squire Smith, is still in the city, and will remain here for several days in all probability. Lackey is the man who last summer gave several exhibitions in this city. Two of the four passenger engines ordered from the American locomotive works at Pittsburg for the Grand Rapids and Indiana road arrived last night and will be taken to Grand Rapids tonight to go into service on the northern division of the line. The other two will arrive the latter part of the week and they may be put into service on this division, though that matter has not been fully decided. These engines are of the class G-4-B, have three pairs of 68-inch drivers and are considered first class for service on the G. R. & I. road.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. No announcement has been made by Judge Paulus as to when he would come to this city to hear the arguments in the motion of attorneys for John W. Terrell, to be decided, whch was filed last week when the I Marion judge was in this city. It is | thought that the Marion judge will be here tomorrow or Thursday night, however. If the motion of the defense should be overruled then it is probable that the judge will be asked to permit Terrell to go free on bond. This would mean an indefinite freedom, as he would never be brought to j trial while insane.—Bluffton Banner. I
