Mr. Ellingham's majority is around the fourteen thousand mark, and there Is less than a thousand difference between the high and low man on the ticket, something that has perhaps never occurred. The democrats have a golden opportunity to make good. The next session of the legislature, however, should not be a play time. The boys have work to do. They must give the people relief. The organization of the house and senate are most important. Good chairmen of committees, an able speaker and wise advice, will go a long ways toward the making of good laws. The election is all over, the votes have been counted, the successful office seekers are preparing to go to work on a public trust, the defeated ones and their friends are coming to surprisingly rapidly and it’s up to us all to settle down to-two years of business. We are going to do nothing else but try to give you a good, breezy, up-to-the-minute paper, and with your support we can do it —not without it. Let's all pull together. United we stand. Divided we fall. We are all for Decatur and Adams county, the best place on earth. Now for business.

Entre Nous -Miss Pearl Purdy. Christaiu Aid —Mrs. G. T. Burke. The United Brethren ladies enjoyed a profitable business session at the home of Mrs. Israel Rex Thursday afternoon. Fourteen ladies were present and the collection amounted to more than nine dollars. The money-making contest between the two divisions of the society, of which Mrs. George Houser and Mrs. I. Imler are chairmen, will close November 30th. with a meeting at the home of Mrs. Thomas Fisher, at which time a report of the amounts made by each will be given. The Michael Miller sale held yesterday was attended by great throngs, being one of the largest in some time. The Miller home fairly radiated with good cheer, and it is said that many scores sat down at noon to tables that fairly groaned with an abundance of good things from the farmhouse. Among those from this city who were there were Mrs. Christena Niblick and son Jesse; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Niblick, Mr. and Mrs. F. Gass. Harvey Harruff, a loyal Ben Hur who has just returned from an eight months’ stay at his farm at Fremont. Michigan, was given a right royal surprise by a large number of Ben Hurswho called at his home last evening and spent a few social hours. They came reenforced with oysters which made a delightfully tempting stew, and while oysters and other good things delighted the palate, music and conversation and other amusements contributed to the enjoyment of the social nature. The Busy Bee section of the German Reformed church entertained the choir at the home of Rev. and Mrs. L. C. Hessert last evening, the collection going to the section’s growing contribution to the building fund for the new church. Contests, in one a series of questions to be answered by words ending in “age” and another to be answered by words pertaining to a NewEngland dinner, were enjoyed, and with other games, music and lunch, provided a pleasant evening. Miss Inez Ray entertained a crowd of young people at her home on Adams street Thursday evening in honor of Misses Tot and Ethel Hildebrand, who leave next week for their new home in Fort Wayne. Games, music and a luncheon were features of the evening. Thoses present were the Misses Tot and Ethel Hildebrand, Grace Bennett of Fort Wayne, Lola Baker, Flossie Will Ruckman and Will Kibler. Ed and Harve Baker, Henry Adler, Will Ruckman and Will Hibler.

The J. W. Tyndall home was a merry place Thursday afternoon when Mrs. Tyndall entertained the Young Matrons’ club, with a number of other guests, including Mesdames W. A. Kuebler, C. A. Dugan, E. X. Ehinger, C. E. Ehle. O. L. Vance, Fred Heuer. Henry Heller, Misses Hattie St.udabaker and Bertha Heller. Needlework, followed by refreshments, was the order of entertainment. A good number attended the box social given by the C. B. L. of I. last evening. The boxes were auctioned off by Andrew Schurger and brought the proverbial “high dollar." Dancing and other social enjoyment, with the luncheon, comprised an evening of unequalled pleasure. At the meeting of the Ph! Delta Kappas last evening arrangements were made for the giving of a box social 1 and dance at their hall next Wednesj day evening.

THE MONROE NEWS (Continued from page 1) nature of a farewell to them before leaving for Fort Wayne, where they will make their future home. Z. O. Lewellen has sold his farm to William Scherer; consideration, $7.000. Mr Lewellen immediately purchased four fine lots in the J. A. Hendricks addition and will erect a beautiful residence here in the early spring. The new business block being built by J. J. Hoffer is nearing completion and will soon be occupied by Mr. Hoffer, where he will open a firstclass butcher shop and restaurant. Professor East, principal of the Monroe high school, left tlast Friday to visit with relatives and friends at his home in Bloomington, Ind., returning on Tuesday evenng. William Smith and Z. O. Lewellen transacted business at Decatur Thursday. The election at this place was a quiet one. There was no excitement of any kind; not even a dog-fight, and during the evening, as the reports came in (which were few and far between), it seemed our republican friends gave up the “ghost" at an early hour, and said it didn't surprise them any. There is considerable talk of Moniroe having a sugar beet plant estab:*:sne<f ae-rr, spring. A number of car Irtit.fs of oeots slave been shipped from

this place during the past week, which were grown by farmers near here. The representatives of the sugar company informs us that the farmers will double their acreage the coming year. Owing to the scarcity of hand! our farmers are considerable behind in their cornhusking. The Moore range demonstration which was held at Monroe's up-to-date hardware store of Leichty Bros. &Co., by Mr. Reber of Indianapolis, was well attended and several ranges were sold owing to the excellent qualities and points, which were shown that it possessed. Monroe has what can be termed as . a metropolitan blacksmith shop, built I and is operated by Pete Kessler. It jis a fine building and, Pete looks all I right in his new* place. He is so rush- ' ed with work that he is compelled to | work all day, and a large portion of the night, to come any ways near keeping up with the work. BACK FROM ALASKA. Fred Meyers, living near Berne, is spending a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Witzman of this city. Mr. Meyers returned last Thursday from the Alaskan gold fields, where he ha-: been for the past six years as a prospector, in which he was successful. The trip from his starting place in the interior of Alaska took seven weeks until he reached Bluffton. The boat on the Yukon river, in which he was c passenger, was frozen fast In the ice for eleven days. Mr. Meyers will remain at his home near Berne for the present. He Is a brother ot Mrs. Wittman.—Bluffton Banner.

TO GO HOME IN THE DARK. He is Not Afraid of it But it is Awfully Inconvenient. Fred LaDelle is now a full-fledged Coon Skin club member, having re ceived the third degree at the meeting of this club weanesuay evening, with the full quota of initiation honors not experienced by the others, towit: Getting lost in the heavy darkness in his long walk through the rain, etc. The club met at the Wade Meyers home south of the city and just as the boys were leaving for home it began to rain pitchforks. The others went back to the house, but Mr. LaDelle and F. E. Smith came on home in the rain. When Mr. Smith and LaDelle parted at the Erie railroad it was black as a stack of black cats, and Mr. LaDelle, who is not very familiar with the city, had to stop now and then and wait until it lightened before he got bis bearings. He gut lost, however, even in spite of the friendly aid of the lightning, and wandered over onto Sawdust avenue, where he was forced to rout some of the good people up to ask the way to his home on Sixth street. Mr. LaDelle leaves next. Sunday again, so it was necessary to confer the degree this week. o— BRINGS QUIET TITLE SUIT. Heller, Sutton & Heller are drawing up a complaint for a quiet title suit brought by Martin L. Kiser of Linn Grove against William McDowell and fourteen others. The land involved is a forty six-acre farm in Hartford township. The complaint will be ready for Sling in the Adams circuit court this week.
