THE NEW SECRETARY OF STATE Lew G. Ellingham will serve the people of Indiana tor two years as secretary of state. He is the first Adams county citizen to have the honor of serving'the people of Indiana in a state office. We of course rejoice with the great majority of people in this community for his success and we should not feel we were doing our duty, unless we mentioned his name in our editorial columns and we take this opportunity to do 'so. His office is the most important of those filled at this election and the fact that he was nominated and elected is an honor that this old green spot will long appreciate. The writer, who has been connected with him for many years in a business and personal way, knows his real worth, and we are not afraid to guarantee the people of Adams county as well as every citizen of the state that they have not misplaced the confidence imposed. Mr. Ellingham's qualifications are known to all our readers, and it is unnecessary for us to dwell thereon. He is most capable, honest and clean and will prove as much so as a public servant as lie has as a private citizen. We know that Mr. Ellingham does not take the splendid vote given him here as a personal endorsement, but simply as it was intended, a mark of approval for Adams county. We

of the Daily Democrat force, from the "devil" to the manager, are gloriously happy over bls success, feelingMts we do, that it was merited in every way. Along with the rejoicing hero over the election of Mr. Ellingham, there are many who are sincerely glad of the success of another Adams county product, J. France of Huntington who was elected Clerk of the supreme court. He will serve for four years. Mr. France was born in thia city, a son of the late Charles M. France and was reared and educated here. He has practiced law in Huntington for some years, but his old friends in Adams county, still claim him. He will make a good officer. Congressman Adair’s plurality is near the seven thousand mark. Some class to that boy when it comes to getting votes. In fact he seems out of his class and tjiere is considerable talk about here of entering him in the gubernatorial race in two years from now. Roosevelt's "We've got them beat to a frazzle,” and Beveridges "We will win by 50,000" and "It's going to be the greatest republican landslide in history," look like these pre-elec-tion forecasts can't always be relied upon.

Sunday, November 6th, was the seventieth birthday anniversary of David Steele, trustee of Kirkland township. Mr. steeie has often celebrated these events before, but under different circumstances than he did this time. It was generally his custom to invite a few of his friends to help him celebrate, or if they endeavored to surprise him, be always discovered their motive before the time came to celebrate. It certainly was a real surprise this time, judging from the remark he made after he recovered from the shock, “You people have surprised me at last.” His children and neighbors helped him to make this one of the happiest events of his life, all the children but one son, William Steele, of Tuscumbia, Aalabama, being present. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Steele and son, Master Arlie, of Bluffton; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Steele and sons, Masters Chalmer, Edgar and Clyde, of Itecatur; Eva and Walter Steele of Peterson, at home with their father. Others besides the children present were Mr. and Mrs. James Steele and daughters, Mary and Cora, of Magley; Mrs. Claude Caton and daughter, Claudine, of Lagrange; Mr. and Mrs. John Brown and daughter, Esta, of Peterson, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Straub and sons, Glenn and Ralph, of Peterson; Miss Eunice Ernst, Miss Elfia Haggard of Monroe; Grandma Hartman of Peterson, who enjoys the distinction of being the oldest lady in Kirkland township, also being present. The children presented their father with a beautiful rocking chair. The day was spent in playing games, reviewing the past years and hoping that the honored one might experience as much pleasure the remainder of his life as he did that day. A bounteous dinner was served at noon, to which all present did justice—even more than justice. When Miss Flossie Bolinger invited a company of friends to her home Wednesday evening for a farewell party for the Misses Tot and Ethel Hildebrand, before they leave next week for their now home in Fort Wayne, she had no idea that they

would turn the event into a surprise for both herself and her fiance, Mr. Ed Baker, who was to be one of the guests, by enlarging the circle of invitation, and giving the engaged couple a miscellaneous shower. They were both very much surprised, therefore, when guest after guest appeared, bearing with them mysterious looking bundles, which, when unwrapped, revealed a large number of beautiful and useful gifts for the new home to be established in the near future. The boys also brought with them their violins, and music and merrj-making. with a number of games and other amusements, prevailed. Those present were Inez Ray, Lola Baker, Tot and Ethel Hildebrand, Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Brushwilier, Nellie Nichols, Iva Teeple, Marie Butler, Frank, Harve and Ek Baker, Will Kibler, Will Ruckman. Miss Bolinger is one of the highly esteemed young ladies of the city, a daughter of Mr. and John Bolinger of West Monroe street, while the groom is a promising young man, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Phil Baker of west of the city, and their large number of friends are very much pleased with the knowledge of their approaching wedding. Miss Sue Mayer pleasantly entertained a number or girls at her home on North Second street Wednesday evening, at which time the reorganization of a social sewing club of last winter, with a few new members, was effected, Miss Sue Mayer being unanimously elected secretary. Following the period of reorganization, some of the members busied themselves with their needlework, while they chatted, and Miss Ruth Mayer and members of the company furnished music. The hostess was assisted by Miss Naomi Mayer in serving a luncheon of sandwiches, pickles, fruit salad, cake and coffee. The girls are anticipating a very merry time during the winter and will meet every Thursday evening.
