Bntered at the poetoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. Adams county is the garden spot of the world, and it never appeared more beautiful than it does right now. An automobile trip over a good sized section soon convinced us that the ■ains of the past week had produced crops unexcelled around the globe. The com is fine, hay nearly ready for harvest, wheat excellent, the oats coming, and everything just right to make the farmer feel gloriously good. The county just now looks like a big park and it does one good to take a glimpse at the great fields. The campaign of 1912 promises to be about the hottest that was ever held in this land. With a struggle on for the nominations in each of the big parties, and with campaigns now going quietly on a year before the conventions, it seems that politics will be served to us in good-sized quantities next year. The schools of Adams county are in excellent condition, never were better, and a harmonious support of them from now on will keep them so. Let every person do his part to keep up this condition. Progress in school work, means progress along every other line in any community. OBITUARY. Cressie Cleo Nidlinger McClure was bom in Adams county, Indiana, March 12, 1893, and was burned to death at her home, east of Decatur, May 25, 1911, aged eighteen years, two months and thirteen days. She united with the U. B. church at Union Chapel at the age of fifteen years and lived faithfully up to her untimely death, answering her friends in her last moments that all was well. She was buried in the Decatur cemetery on the first anniversary of her wedding day, which occurred May 28, 1910, at the U. B. parsonage at Decatur, when she pledged her fidelity to Clyde McClure. She was much beloved and highly respected by all, as was evidenced by the large concourse of people that attended her funeral and followed her remains to the cemetery. She leaves a husband and baby, father, mother, brother, two sisters and many friends and relatives to mourn. One sister preceded her in death four years ago. Blessings on all the friends left behind. We will meet her in the morning. I. I. o CARD OF THANKS.
