Jacob Butcher has already been heard from. He presented one bill In the rush of the first day, showing that he is up and doing. More than that he secured an appointment for an Adams county lady as a stenographer, a not always what you could call easy task. The legislature has by resolution demanded that the state board of accounting show them whether or not they have made any money for the state. In other words they will make the board of accountants stand for an investigation. It seems to be an age of “show me” that has no limit. Now the question is who will Investigate the legislature? — '.j -- sse How shall we make Decatur a better town during 1911? This question should be one of more than passing Interest to every citizen and every business man of this locality. There are many ways to do it. We will be glad to print any suggestions. We have one of the best towns in the state, located in the midst of the best farming community on earth and a little pull together, hustle, and with some definite purpose in view will help wonderfully within a twelve-month. Let's don't cry’ over what has gone, but • rather let us make up by marching ahead this year as we never have before. Let us hear from you. NOTICE TO CREDITORS State of Indiana, Adams county.

OBITUARY. Friederich Wilhelm, son of Joseph and Maria Kiess, was born at Decatur, lnd„ on February 27, 1903. On March 26, 1903, his parents presented him | unto the Lord in the sacrament of holy baptism. From them he also learned to know the Savior who said: "Stiffer little children and forbid them not, to come unto me: for such is the kingdom of heaven.” Freddie was also a regular attendant at our Sunday school, and no doubt learned to know much of Jesus and. the heavenly home he has prepared for those that love him. On Christmas Eve, December 24, 11910, he prepared to come to church and take part in the Christmas program, but he became sick and had to remain at home. The sickness rapidly developed Into typhoid fever. His strength ebbed away and he became very weak, until at fifteen minutes 1 past nine o’clock Sunday evening. January 8, 1911, death relieved him. j Ufa parents are stricken with grief at his early departure. His four little brothers will sorely miss him. Many relatives and friends mourn his early departure. Friederick attained unto the age of 7 years, 10 months and 12 days. ■ “Go to thy rest, and while Thy absence we deplore, , One thought our sorrow shall beguile. For soon, with a triumphant smile, We meet to part no more.” ’ a-- . —-j BANK STATEMENT. C. S. NIBLICK, President M. KIRSCH, JOHN NIBLICK, vice presidents. E. X. EHINGER, Cashier.

Over three hundred people attended the charity ball given tn the new armory Tuesday evening by the members of the Octagon Whist club. The hall was beautifully decorated with festoons of red and green. At 8:30 o'clock the grand march began with about seventy-five couples in line, while the outer edge of the hall was lined with spectators who came to watch the dance and enjoy the delightful music furnished by the Wright Saxophone Orchestra of Columbus, Ohio. The program of the evening included eighteen dances with several extras, all of which were participated in by as many couples as the floor would accommodate. In connection with the dance, the ladies conducted a lunch stand, from which a large amount of money was derived for i charity. Among the out-of-town guests ■ were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Poland of Anderson, Misses Frances Merryman I and Madge Hite of Decatur, Timothy I Reed of Muncie, Misses Mabel Wright . and Juanita Farquer of Winchester, Miss Echo Yonts of Dunkirk, Miss Ig-

We wish Mr. and Mrs. Delhi a happy and prosperous life. The Menu-ates and members of the Black Rag club were entertained in a very royal manner Wednesday afternoon jointly, at the A. R. Bell home, by Mrs. Frank Bell and Miss Pansy Bell. ' Besides the regular club members • guests were Mrs. Mabel Allison of • Cardwell, Mo.; Miss Bryon of Fort Wayne, Mrs. Sherman Kunkel and Miss Florence Kunkel. The sewing , with which they busied themselves during the afternoon was laid aside at 5:30 o’clock for the tempting threecourse luncheon. The Black Rag club will meet in two weeks with Mrs. Wesley Hoffman. Raymond Hill and son, Richard, of Lewiston, Idaho, were entertained at supper Wednesday evening by Fred Mills and family. Mr. Hill several years ago was instructor tn the commercial department of the Decatur high school, and will be remembered with much Interest by his former students and other local friends. Mr. Hill was called to Decatur, 111., by the illness of his mother, and then came on to Fort Wayne to visit other relatives, making the side trip to this ! city. The Ladies’ Shakespeare club met Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. John Niblick, Mrs. J. C. Patterson being hostess.

Johnson had as their guests at 6 o’clock dinner Wednesday evening R. Hedrick of Hastings, Mich.; Edith Bicer of Laketon, Frank Reynolds of Fort Wayne and Miss Lizzie Johnson. —o The religious canvass made of the city last Tuesday afternoon was concluded with satisfactiory results. Nearly every home in Decatur was visited for the purpose of ascertaining either church membership or church preference. To obtain the desired information the city was divided into thirty-eight districts with two visitors in each district. As far as it is known a thorough canvass was made and very few, if any, of the homes in our city was missed. The visitors in this canvass got several “eye-openers” such as the minister frequently gets in his pastoral calls. Several destitute homes were found, which will be looked after. Many homes were discovered, which have given religion little thought, but by far the majority of the homes indicated either church affiliation or church preference. Much credit is given to the cheerful workers who no doubt sacrificed time and energy to carry to its culmination this undertaging, and for your faithful and thorough work. We, the leaders of the canvass made, extend to you our heartfelt thanks and appreciation, and in addition to blessings already obtained through your efforts, may the divine approval seal all your endeavors for the extension of Christ’s kingdom in the future.
