Hntered at the poetoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. When he returned from the "New Hampshire hills” about the first of September, Mr. Beveridge proclaimed with a great shout that he was "mighty glad to get back to Indiana.” He is always glad to get back to Indiana when he wants something in this state that he can’t get anywhere else —which is an election to office. When he has nothing of that sort on his mind he stays away. It is a notorious fact that since his nrst election to the senate he has been practically a non-resident of Indiana. In theory he maintains a home in Indianapolis, but as a matter of sact —as the people of that city well know —his

residence there is a myth except in a merely legal sense. It would be much more becoming if Senator Beveridge would appeal to the citizens of "the Maine woods,” or the “New Hampshire hills,” or the "Atlantic coast" or other places where he stays Instead of asking to be again elected to office by the people of Indiana. THE ACKER SHOW Wonderful Display of Cement Blocks at the Fair Grounds This Week. IT WAS ARTISTIC This Concern is Coming to the Front and Deserves Success. Among the displays at the Great Northern fair this week, there was one which certainly deserves special mention and that was the one by the Acker Cement Works. They have constructed a cement house, temporary. of course, which shows to wonderful advantage the various designs in posts, columns and ornaments. It proves that they can make any kind of cement blocks to be found at any big plant in the country. It also shows the progressiveness of this firm, which within a few years has grown from a very small concern into one now prepared to bid on a job of most any size. They have been fair and square with the people and their trade is growing steadily. One man who visited the exhibit at the fair grounds yesterday made the remark that he attended fairs all over the country, Including a number of state fairs and that at none of these had he seen so good a showing by any cement concern. Such enterprise counts and the Acker Cement Works will grow into a great big concern in Decatur within a few years. At the present time they are ready and willing to figure with i you on any job you may wish, big or | little, and will appreciate your busii ness. If you missed the exhibit at the fair or was too busy to investigate the Acker cement blocks, you should call at their plant in the north part of the city, where you will be treated courteously and given any information you may care for in this line. o NOTICE.

Under the spiritual influence 1 of father and mother this pioneer family was brought up, while today they represent the different branches of church work. With the toils and ’ hardships of life in pioneer days, Jesus is a friend that will never leave nor forsake you, while the Christian influences around the hearthstone of home they still linger in your hearts and your Christian Influences will have the same influence upon your children. Though there may be wayI ward sons and daughters we should not become discouraged. There has never been a lane so long but that there was a turn in it. Wonderful things have taken place since the birth of father 109 years ago. Today we have gathered at the home of Brother Frederick, who was the first to leave home, friends and parents. He, with his family, emigrated to this county forty-five years ago. Sister Hayes and Sister Mary Winkelpleck emigrated to Davies county, Indiana, with their families also, forty-five years ago. Sister Levita Garner, with her family, emigrated to Clay county, Illinois, thirty-five years ago. The rest remained near the old home place. For forty-three years there has been a separation of this family. In the gatherings or reunions held at different places there was a vacant chair, until the reunion held at Oden, Indiana, October 17, 1908, when all were permitted to look in each other’s faces and say, “We are all here.” Their prayers were answered), the blessings received. The children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren numbered 250. There are a few families that reach the age you have together. While two were taken away in infancy, elfcht of you are still to-

gether in old age, and for you to get together at these reunions requires some effort. There were some”sixtyseven invitations sent out to families to attend this reunion if possible. Nine different states are represented by this pioneer family, and all of them are law-abiding citizens. The ages of the members of this pioneer family range from fifty-six to seventyseven years or a total of over 550 years. No doubt there has been many burdens and sorrows in your journey here, but the hope that you may have had, has overbalanced all your trials. The hairs of-your head are showing the frost of many winters, eyes are becoming dim, feet are tottery, the strength and vigor of youth has been lost on the mountain top of your journey. You are descending in the valley of your journey, but well can you say: "Life, we’ve been long together, Through pleasant and cloudy weather. ’Tis hard to part when friends are dear, Perhaps will cast a sigh, a tear. Then still away give little warning, Chose thine own time, Say not, good-night, but In some Brighter clime, bid me good-morning.” L. W. Bair.
