J. Adams of Findlay to be shipped by him to a horse sale company at Pittsburg. The load was taken on a Fort Wayne & Springfield freight car and consisted of ten as fine horses as ever breathed. The entire round trip of about 265 miles was made by interurI ban, going from here to Fort Wayne, . from Fort Wayne to Lima, by the Ohio : Electric company and from Lima to ' Findlay by the ’Western Ohio. The car left here at 10 o’clock in the morning and reached Findlay about 3:30 and returned to Decatur by 11 o’clock that night, making a very good record. The boys stated that from Lima on to Findlay about fifteen inches of snow covered the ground, and at some places it had drifted to three feet in depth. Two of the regular interurban cars between Lima and Findlay stuck in the snow and the Decatur freight car pulled them into the city.

TAKES ON SIDE LINE. George Steele of the firm of Steele & Weaver has taken on a side line, which he will work in addition to conducting the racket store here. This is acting as jobber or middleman for a number of firms, by which method he will be able to obtain his goods at a very low rate and will thus be able to sell it much cheaper in his store, giving his customers a great advantage. Mr. Steele, having a large acquaintance among the owners of racket stores over northern Indiana, in which his territory will lie, will no doubt make a success of the undertaking. The line includes combs, barrettes, enamel ware and other things, and securing it directly from the factory, saving the middleman’s profits, he will thus be able to sell articles at his store for ten cents that he would need to sell otherwise for twenty-five cents. Mr. Steele has been endeavoring for the past two years to secure this advantage, and was only recently successful.

THE SOCIAL NOTES Mrs. Charles Pennington Given Birthday Surprise Party Sunday Night. DINNER PARTY GIVEN By Mr .and Mrs. Moltz — Pythian Sisters’ Social a Pleasant One. It is the law of good economy to make the best of everything.—Ruskin. One of the delightful dinner parties of the season was that given Saturday evening at 6 o'clock by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Moltz, the event commemorating Mr. Moltz' retirement from the firm of Kuebler & Moltz, with which he has long been associated. Plates were laid for ten, the guests being Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Kuebler, Mrs. Sutherland, Misses Edna Crawford, Letta Lang, Louise Hobrock, Eleanor Forbing, Jessie McLain, those of the Boston Store with whom Mr. and Mrs. Moltz have been associated m a most pleasant way for many years, in the friendship that grows with years and with mutual interest and aims. While many of. the clerks have been associated with the firm a long time, Miss Jessie McLean, cashier and bookkeeper, can bear the honors, having been with them for eighteen years.

While Mfrs. Charles Pennington, whose thirty-second birthday anniversary falls today, was anticipating the attaffk of a surprise party she thought ft would come on the anniversary day and intended to fortify accordingly against any sudden onslaught of her friends on that day. They made a change, however, in the usual surprise party tactics and marshalling their forces last evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will Parent, made their way cautiously and quietly to the Pennington home, where they took the good lady of the house wholly unawares. She submitted gracefully and acknowledged her defeat and the victory of the surprisers. A very’ good time was spent, music and games playing a prominent part. Unlike foragers of war, the company took with them a quantity of good things to eat, from which a very appetizing lunch was served. Mrs. Pennington was given a very handsome ornamental coiffure comb as a birthday gift, Mrs. Frank Gass making the presentation speech. Mrs. Pennington was asked to respond, but being so overcome with pleasure and surprise, made the brief but to-the-point speech that she was much pleased to get the comb, “as now she could wear one like other people,” which of course gave the donors great satisfaction in thus enabling her to appease a long-felt want. That Mrs. Pennington may enjoy many such happy events was the wish of all the party, which included Messrs, and Mesdames Frank Gass, Tom Durkens, Will Parent, Peter Mongey, John Keller, John Schafer, Frank, Frank, Will Pennington, Henry Gunsett, Mr. Will Licntle and Miss Theresa Miller. Thirty-four were in atendance at the social given Saturday afternoon by the Pythian Sisters at the home of Mrs. Charles Elzey on West Monroe street. The company found a pleasant task in the hemming of the table linen for the new Pythian home and in embroidering the Pythian Sisters’ initials in the corners. When this was finished there came an interesting little designing or drawing contest. Each guest was given paper and pencil and told to draw thereon her plan of an ideal house. The first honors in this were shared by Mrs. Fred Patterson and Mrs. O. L. Vdnce, the turn of a straw declaring for Mrs. Vance, who was awarded a beautiful handpainted plate. Booby honors, lying between Mrs. I. Kalver and Mrs. Neva Hower, were bestowed upon Mrs. Kalver in the shape of a little “brownie.” The hostess, who was assisted by the Misses Ruby Parrish, Nellie Nichols and Ruth Ernst, served a very tempting lunch from the following menu: Peanut sandwiches, veal loaf, pickles, baked apples with whipped cream, cranberry sauce, coffee, brick ice cream in the lodge colorsred, blue, white and yellow—cake, dates and fudge. The social was the most delightful one ever given by the lodge and aside from the pleasant social features, was a profitable one, as the proceeds, amounting to nearly four dollars, will be applied on the purchase of the new lodge table linen. Misses Rose and Matilda Berning, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John Berning, who, with their parents will move to their new home north of the city
