Seated about the festive board at Hotel Murray Monday night one hundred citizens said farewell to Mr. Ellingham. secretary of state-elect. It was a most happy occasion, not because they were saying good-bye, but because the good-byes meant the advancement of their mutual friend to a high state office. The banquet was well served, was most palatable, the toasts were fitting, well delivered and it was one of the evenings which

draws the business men of the community into a closer fellowship. Feelings of regret that we are to loan our fellow-townsman to the state for a few years and that his family will join him in making Indianapolis their home were expressed, but good cheer prevailed and every one is glad that Adams county has been recognized as a part of the great Commonwealth of Indiana. Lew Ellingham leaves tomorrow for Indianapolis, where he will familiarize himself with the duties of the office. of secretary of state that he may be ready for the high office which he assumes on the thirtieth of this month at noon. Lew Ellingham has been a resident of this city for sixteen years. He has been one of those live, progressive ones, that makes us regret that he is to leave for a period, even though we realize that he goes to a deserved honor. He will prove a worthy state officer and Adams county friends will watch his career with interest and the feeling that he will please every citizen of Indiana with whom or for whom he transacts busi-

ness. Never-the-less it's just a little hard to part company with a fellow who has been your pal, and a real one. too, for a dozen years or more, but these things happen when duty calis. So "Good bye Lew; take keer of your ee’f!” There never was a better opportunity to do a good, kind, Christian act, ono that will be thoroughly and fully appreciated than right now In Decatur. A young man named Buffenbarger Iles dying of tuberculosis at his nome in the north part of the city. When be had health he took excellent care of his family, paid his debts and was a splendid citizen. For a year and a half he has been unable to week, and having too much pride to ask for help, they have lived as best they can. It Is said they have not had a pound of meat in the house for a year. His family consists of a wife and two small children. Last night, at a gathering of men, about twenty-five dollars was raised to aid them and the money was turned over to E. X. Ehinger, cashier of the Old Adams County bank. If any citizen here or e'se-

where desires to do some real home mission work, he may leave his share to this worthy cause at the bank. To give is better than to receive. Try It.

An exchange says: “She is generally regarded as the patron of church music and of music generally, though the reason for this is not satisfactorily explained. Butler in his ‘Lives of the Saints,’ says it was because of her assiduity it singing the divine praises, the effect of which she heightened by the aid oi an instrument. She is generally represented as singing and’ playing on a musical instrument or listening to the performance of an angelic visitor. This last circumstance is derived from an ancient legend which relates that an angel was so enraptured with her harmonious strains as to quit the abode of bliss to visit the saint.” The young ladies of the Sisters of St. Agnes Music Academy gave a musical program at the academy Monday evening in honor of S4> Cecelia, the patron saint of music. This evening Father Wilken will entertain the members of the choir, according to his custom of many years, on the day of St. Cecelia, the patron of music. It was a jolly hay-rack party, comprising the members of the junior class of the Decatur high school, chaperoned by Miss Clara B. Williams, teacher of English, that drove to Preble township Saturday evening, where a surprise party was given for one of their classmates, Dallas Elzey, the affair being arranged by his mother, Mrs. J. D. Elzey. The ride to and from the Elzey home was an enjoyable one hut the good time spent there was even more so. A number of contests had been arranged for their amusement, among them being one in which questions were answered with the names of Whittier’s poems. Then there were other jolly games and delicious refreshments, making the evening a very enjoyable one.
