Amid the pleasant scenes of congratulations over new honors won, yet’ there comes the sad ones —the parting. And in parting company with the Democrat and those with whom I have been daily associated, there comes the test that hurts the worst of all. The Decatur Democrat has long been a part of my life. I have seen it grow and prosper, and I have seen it when it grew but did not prosper. I have seen it in all the angles of fortune and misfortune, and now that it is one of the solid business institutions of this city and county, will never cease to be the pride of my life. Its success and growth is due to the combined efforts of those w'ho have been associated with me, and in leaving, its destiny will not be turned over to new minds or its policy changed. For six months or more the editorials have been written by Mr. John H. Heller, who will succeed me and be the editor in name as well as in fact. They were splendid, and he will continue to make the Democrat the same excellent newspaper that it always has been. I bespeak for him the same kind, courteous treatment, the same loyal support that has been given me. I appreciate more than words can tell the many offers of support before the election, and the exceedingly gracious compliments and congratulations since the election. They have come all ways and I leave with the well wishes of a most gracious people. It is my hope that I may serve the state in away that will merit a continuance, and then I hope again for a speedy return that I may take up the joys of real life among real friends. LEW ELLINGHAM. Thanksgiving Day tomorrow. It comes but once a year. It is one of the most glorious of all days of the three hundred and sixty-five. It is the occasion when we offer thanks for all the good things of the year. It is celebrated at this season when the harvests are in and the elections over. In this great country we have much to be thankful for, at least the most of us, and it is at this time that we should give a thought to the needy, to the ones who perchance have not come the many blessings that they may deserve. Let us not forget them as we gather about the festive board to enjoy what the Great Maker of us all has allowed us. Let’s truly return thanks. The first edition of the High School Student was published today and the papers were snapped up in a manner

One of the agreeable social events of Tuesday evening was the surprise given Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Conter by a number of the4r friends, who took this way of saying farewell, and at the same time speeding them on their way to their new home in Indianapolis, with good wishes.

; Reid, Mr. and Mrs. Bart France and ■ Mrs. Belle France. During the evening a committee from the St. Vincent de Paul society called and presented to Mrs. Confer, with the wishes of the society, a handsome linen tablecloth. The Historical club held its regular meeting Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Nellie Blackburn, and the evening was one much enjoyed by all. Mrs. Fristoe, who had been selected as the hostess is out of the city, and Miss Blackburn was chosen in her stead. The paper, which was on the administration of Martin Van Buren, was read by Mrs. Amos Gillig, and was very entertaining. The next meeting will be held on Monday evening of next week instead of Tuesday, the regular meeting night, owing to the date conflicting with that of the high school entertainment to be given at the opera house on that evening. Mrs. H. E. Sowers will be the . hostess. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Holsapple will i spend Thanksgiving Day with his | brother, John Holsapple, at Portland. , They will be joined there by their son I Glenn, who is stenographer and book- , keeper for an Indianapolis firm, and | he will return with his parents Fri--1 day evening for a week-end visit at I his home here.
