SANE AS ANY ONE Charles W. Mercer Was Here Today to Visit Friends HE DENIED STORY To the Effect that Carlton , Guy Had Been Insane Charles W. Mercer, manager of the Guy Stock company, which has so favorably impressed the Decatur people by its clever performances was in the city this morning making preliminary arrangements .for another engagement here. It is probable that. they will pitch their tents in the city , during fair week, and regardless ot when they come, they will be greet-, ed by large audiences. Asked about the report propagated throughout the : country to the effect that his brother/ G. Carlton Guy had become insane, he vigorously denied it and explained that the report started from the pen . of a Terre Haute newspaper man, who ; in a joking manner said that Guy ■ had gone crazy and got married. Mr. Guy, as he is known, was married last February to the lady who playei the leading role in “’The Cry Baby," which was staged in Decatur last winter. He is now at his home at Worthington, Indiana, where he is writing another one night stand play which will probably be staged next winter. The Guy Stock company carries thirty-two people this summer and a great band. They are a clever lot of fellows and will be welcomed in Decatur a tany time. The company will not be forgotten for the fact that they pulled off the most starlting stunt ever witnessed in Decatur when last summer B. Mercer, a partner, was locked in jail subsequent to his marriage on the stage. 0 — . .

She grew up in this city and received a common school education. As a child she often attended the Methodist Sunday school and learned to know something of the Bible truths and teachings. Hers was a pathetic life, a deep gloom hung over her childhood years, for she lived amidst unhappy circumstances. Her mother, whose love and counsel she craved for, died nearly six years ago. The happiness of first love spread sunshine in her soul. With joy she looked forward to the day of her wedding. With the enthusiasm and fantasy of youth she laid plans for her future, but alas a dark cloud obscured the sunshine. Sickness set in . and played havoc with the joyful ! plans. Even under these adverse conditions she remained hopeful. A few weeks ago, she had a very comforting dream. She dreamed that the Lord Jesus stood by her and spoke with her. Thea ssurance of salvation He gave her made her happy, so that in her. The assurance of salvation He Now dreams are an indication of the thoughts that occupy the mind, thus her dream would indicate that she, too, thought seriously of her spiritual needs. During her illness she would often sing that beautiful hymn “Take Me as I am.” Last Thursday afternoon, July 22nd, at about four o'clock the death angel came. She reached the age of 18 years, 10 months, 30 days. There remain to mourn her early departure her stricken, brokenhearted bridegroom, her father, three brothers and one sister. o - ■ ■ FOR SALE —Kitchen linoleum, size 11 by 12. Almost new.
