Adams of Columbia City and his candidacy for a place on the appellate bench. He is mentioned as a man of sterling worth and a lawyer of good repute and ability. Here where we all know, love and admire the geniality of Mr. Adams and respect him for what he is, this stereotyped recommendation is little less than superfluous, but in order that other remote suburbs of this great part of Indiana may know him better, we voice the expressions made by others of our fraternity, and thus we hope to impress the next state convention that the Hon. Andrew A. Adams is such a man, such a lawyer and such a democrat, that his nomination will be a matter of form. Here’s to Judge Adams. In the opinion of Frank Downey of St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic church at Cairo, the racial war there is due to too much politics. He asserts that niggers are induced to come to town for the reason that they are paid a good price for their votes. “To my mind it is a brand of disgrace that a white man should climb into office by the rotten votes of ne-

THE SOCIAL NOTES Pythan Sisters Celebrate Birthday Anniversary With Washington. A BIRTHDAY PARTY For Otto Schueler —RayIrelan Wedding a Happy Affair —Social Notes. First in war — First in peace First in the hearts of his countrymen—and First Boy the world has so far heard of who couldn’t tell a lie!

The twenty-first birthday anniversary of Otto Schueler —that most important epoch in every young man's life, when he can truly feel that he is a man — was royally celebrated by a party given at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Schueler, to which about fifty friends w’ere invited. The dinner, served at 12 o’clock was a feast, characteristic of the Schueler home, and heartily enjoyed by all present. After dinner the young folks went out doors and there took place such a snow battle as is rarely seen in these days, and as usual in all battles, the girls came out victorious. Poor Otto, the birthday celebrant, was the chief one against whom the snow missiles were directed, and so taken by storm was he that he was forced to leave the field and flee for the protecting fortress —the house —to which place all followed. The day was certainly well enjoyed, and at an early hour in the evening all returned to their respective homes wishing Otto many returns of the happy day. Those present were: Rev. G. Koch and family, Teacher J. Briel and wife, Mr. and Mrs. John Hoffman and family. Mr. and Mrs. Crist Ehlerding and family, Mr. and Mrs. William Schackel and family, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schueler and family, Mr. and Mrs. H. Hoffman of Fort Wayne, ler, Malinda Prange, Alma Koch, HuiMrs. Susana Bley of Nebrasga, Misses Ida Schueler, Irene Schueler, Mata Werling, Frieda Biberich, Esther Koch, Bertha Ehlerding, Clara Schueler, dalinda Prange, Alma Koch, Hulda Prange and Emma Schueler and Messrs. Otto Werling, Otto Wefel, Gustave Biberich Loranz Linnicmies, Robert Jaebker, Adolph Biberich, Mart Schueler, Otto Schroeder, Gust Schueler. The Pythian Sisters initiated a class of candidates Monday evening— Mrs. Sadie Kalver, Mrs. Charles Dunn, Miss Nellie Nichols and Mrs. Elijah Mann —after which the most excellent chief, Mrs. Neva Hower, invited the company into the parlors, where a surprise and treat were awaiting them. The most excellent chief informed them that her birthday anniversary and that of George Washington were so nearly together that she had decided to celebrate them together, and that this demonstration was in celeration of them both. Flags artistically arranged about the room were the appropriate decorations, and little flags were given as souvenirs. A luncheon, very tempting, was nicely served in two courses from the following menu: Peanut sandwiches, olives, corn salad, veal loaf, coffee, ice cream in colors of red, white and blue cake and candy. Mrs. Hower was assisted in serving by her sister, Miss Ruth Ernst, and her cousin, Miss Ernst, of Peterson. The memory of this occasion will long linger with all as a most pleasant one.

A very happy wedding was that of Sunday, February 20th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Irelan in Blue Creek township, when their daughter, Miss Nellie Mae, became the bride of Robert Ervin Ray, one of this county’s well known young men. The ceremony was performed at high noon, the Rev. Horace Kohn of Willshire, Ohio, officiating at this very happy event, which was also witnessed by about forty-four of the relatives and friends of the young couple. Immediately after the ceremony a bountiful dinner, coming up to the highest standard of an ideal wedding feast, was spread and enjoyed by all present. The couple were presented with many useful and beautiful presents, which will find a graceful place in the new home. The young people are representatives of two of the best families in the county and the wish of all their friends is that the voyage through life may be a pleasant and profitable one. There was a good attendance Monday evening of the H. H. C. club at the home of Mrs. D. N. Erwin and

the session was a most interesting one. This club devotes itself to physical culture, and Is resulting most happily to all. Mrs. T. Pugh of North Manchester, who has been a guest of her cousin, Mrs. D. N. Erwin, and who is president of the Winona H. H. C. club, was an honored and most welcome guest at the club meeting Monday evening. The hospitable home of Henry Fuhrman north of the city was thrown open Sunday to D. N. Erwin and family, Horace Callow and family, and Mrs. T. Pugh of North Manchester, who were guests at a 12 o’clock dinner. W. A. Fonner and wife and Miss Helen Fonner entertained a company of friends Sunday evening, the guests being John Houck and wife. Miss Erma Houck, of this city, and the Misses Ruth Worden and Bessie Wilder. The St. Vincent de Paul society will meet with Mrs. William Harting at her home on North Third street Wednesday afternoon. The Daughters of Rebekah will give a picnic supper at their hall this evening in honor of one of the members who is to leave the city soon. The Young Matrons’ club will meet with Mrs. J. W.

Master deliver his first sermon at the Presbyterian church Monday night will want to hear him again tonight.
