Crumpacker, republican congressman from the Tenth district, is running for re-election on a platform which indorses the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. He is making speeches in defense of that bill in the district. Mr. Beveridge's state organization will not, it is said, allow any man speaking under its auspices to defend the bill. It looks, therefore, as if there would be a sensational situation in the Tenth district. 1 !. .LltllU-M... L. 1 A hundred to boost for Ellingham at the state convention is the cry at present. It's the first time in history that an Adams county man has fought for a place on the state ticket. It's the time when every citizen should boost The convention is going to be a warm event and you will enjoy every minute of the time. Give your name to the census enumerator. Answer every one of the questions he asks you, even though they seem foolish.

S'eep and death, two twins of winged race, Os matchless swiftness, but of silent pace. Lilly Blanch Sbackley, daughter of Howard W. and Samantha E. Shackley, was born in Root township, Adams county, Ind., May 25, 1885; died at her home in Decatur, Ind, April 11, 1910, aged 24 years, 10 months and 17 days. At the age of fourteen years she was converted and joined the Pleasant Grove U B. church. Later, on coming to Decatur she joined the M. E. church of this city. During her last sickness she was patient and bore her sufferings without a murmer. She often said she had no fears of death and was anx- 1 iously waiting to meet her Savior. 1 She was the youngest of eight chil- j ■ dren, two brothers, Warren and Jos- 1 eph William having preceded her to 1 {he great beyond. Both parents, one 1 brother and four sisters Survive her. These are Mrs. Nettie Spangler, Mrs. Effie Bowers, Louisa Jennie, Mrs. Myrtle Baxter and Samuel K. Shack- I ley. Besides the immediate family 1 she leaves many friends and relatives 1 to mourn their loss ' Sleep that no pain shall make. Night that no moon shall break, Till joy shall overtake Her perfect calm. ————————

SOME SOCIAL NEWS . M. E. Mite Society Holds i Annual Election —Good Report For Year. I * It. b. g. club meets Mrs. George Chronister a Hostess —Christian Ladies’ Success. To study nature will thy time employ; Knowledge and Innocence are perfect joy. —Dryden. The meeting of the Mite society of the Methodist church at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Meyers on Seventh street Friday afternoon was one of unusual importance, inasmuch as the annual election of officers was held. Those who will serve during the coming year are: President, Mrs. J. N. Parrish; secretary, Mrs. B. J. Rice, and treasurer, Mrs. Jesse Dailey. Both Mrs. Parrish and Mrs. Dailey were re-elected. The report of the treasurer for the past year showed that during that time the society had paid off an indebtedness of SBOO, a thing for which this little band of workers deserves much credit indeed. Plans for the new year's work were mapped out and discussed, and among other things the ladies decided to continue the sale of the dustless dust cloths, with which they have been very successful. 1 I The meeting of the U. B. Ladies’ 1 Aid society at the home of Mrs. George Chronister was largely attend- i ed and a very interesting time spent. The regular monthly routine of bus- < iness was disposed of and the so- 1 ciety arranged to meet Tuesday at the home of Mrs. I. Imler to make t comforts for their sale. After the bus- 1 iness session a social period was en- I joyed and the hostess served a very t tempting lunch. The next regular i monthly business meeting will be t held May 12th at the home of Mrs. t Tom Trinl. t 1 — i The hours passed merrily for the t girls of the T. B G. club at the home I of Miss Edna Ehinger last evening t as they busied themselves with their f embroidery and chatted as they sew- 1 ed. A luncheon served In the dining i room by the hostess was a feature of the entertainment. The table looked 1 very pretty with the red hooded can- < delabra in the center of the table, and i the four red shaded candles at the ’ ends, and the lunch served was a verytempting one. 1 - i As a result of their dinner and supper Friday the ladies of the Christ- , tian church report a net gain of thir-ty-two dollars for their treasury. They did exceedingly well and wish to thank the public for their patronage, Mrs. Niblick and son for the use of their building, and the Hitesman &. Garard and Steele & Weaver stores for the use of the dishes for the serving of the dinner. ler, Lydia Kirsch, Erma Houck, Butler, Lydia Kirsch, Erma Houck, Ether Erwin, accompanied by their teachers, the Misses Sellemeyer and Miller, formed a party that made a trip north Friday evening in search of spring flowers, which they found in abundance and enjoyed the time Spent with nature very much.

OBITUARY. Eugene Bunner, son of Enoch and Eliza Bunner, was born in Pennsylvania September 30, 1837, and departed this life at his home in Rivarre March 10, 1910, aged 72 years, 5 months and 20 days. At the age of eight years he, with his parents, came to Adams county, Indiana, where he has since resided. On April 22, 1866, he was united in marriage to Rebecca A Carpenter. To this union were born eight children, three of which preceded him to the glory world He was a veteran of the Civil war and an exceptionally good soldier, having enlisted with Company I, of Eighty-ninth Regiment, Indiana Volunteers, August 14, 1862, and was mustered out July 16, 1865, during which time he never missed a day's duty or failed to be with his company in time of battle. He was a member of the Sam Henry Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, and his experiences as a soldier and his army relationships were among his fondest recollections, having spoken frequently, even during his last illness, of his soldier comrades. While young in years he gave his heart to God and united with the church and has since been a consistent and faithful worker for God In whom he trusted. This leaves to mourn their loss a devoted wife, five daughters, three sons-in-law, three grandchildren, one brother, one sister and a host of othe relatives and friends. He was an earnest, faithful Christian, a devoted husband and loving father, and while we must mourn his departure, yet we feel that our loss is his eternal gain, when we remember that Christ said, “Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord.” Funeral services at Bobo U. B. church Wednesday morning, March 23rd, conducted by C. L. Marsh. Interment at Mt. Tabor cemetery.

VERSES FROM KENTUCKY. At the age of seventy-seven, Julia Stockton Dinsmore offers her first contribution to literature, a book of poems. Miss Dinsmore is one of those lovable southern personalities whose close companionship with nature Is combined with a lot of books and music. Very much of her long life has been spent out of doors, and she is still frequently in the saddle. Her verses reflect her Intimate knowledge and love of nature, bearing the "sweet scent of Kentucky mint," as they sing of “Noon in a Blue Grass Pasture," of “Love Among the Roses,” of the tobacco field and of the dark bayou; the delicate sentiment mingling with the glad sunshine and melody of the birds, always cheery though the eyes are tear-dimmed. The latter part of the book is composed of sonnets, beginning with her recently written “A Sonnet Sequence.' Here again the happy blending of nature-love and book-love is evident. Miss Dinsmore has been alone for the larger portion of the last twenty years, living and sleeping without protection in her Kentucky home. In the daytime she superintends the work of the farm or the house, now directing the building of a fence, the planting of the tobacco or the training of a rose bush. In the evening she sits alone with a student's lamp for company, and in winter with a fire on the old-fashioned hearth, oblivious of danger, apparently unconscious of lonliness, lost in one of the volumes with which the many who love ter and admire her keep her shelves supplied.
