Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. The president Saturday signed the campaign publicity bill which was passed by congress some time ago. This is one of the many bills passed by the democrats and it is one of the very' few approved by Taft. It limits the amount a senator can spend to SIO,OOO, and a representative to $5,000. It is one of the good results of the Lorimer investigation and is a step in the right direction. —Columbia City Post. It is predicted that by tonight coni gress—the extraordinary session—will give its final kick and pass into history. In many ways it was a remarkable session. The big interests had less show than they’ have had for twenty years. The men who represent the various districts are throwing off the "handcuffs'’ that have bound them for years, and are really thinking about passing laws for the people's welfare. The next few years should find something accomplished along those lines. The county fair is the annual gathering of people from all over the county. the regular home-coming of all the boys and girls, the time for a visit from the cousins and uncles and aunts. It’s a good time to talk over plans, to meet those whom you love, to see old friends, to compare notes in a business way, to see the latest improvements in machinery, to learn the best , breed of “hogs," and the best seed po- j tatoes. It's a general school and a pleasant holiday combined. The Great Northern is the best of all Let's boost it. Decatur is located just right to become one of the best trading centers and one of the best towns in which to live, in all the world. We have a de- ■ lightful climate, everything considered with as many perfect days as any' place on God’s footstool. We are surrounded by land almost unequalled, I Our crops never fail. Now the ques- ( tion is, how can we better our conditions? We believe that the proper way to do this is to encourage such industries that will aid the farmer. Every time we raise the price of his land we make Decatur a better town. Among the things that would do this would be a milk condensing plant, which is now being talked of, a sugar beet factory would aid, and there are other things, for instance a free feed yard, a ladies’ waiting room, a place of welcome to the farmer. From twenty to thirty thousand people reside within a radius of twenty miles about Decatur, if we increase the number who trade here, we certainly help . every man, woman and child in the county. We sincerely believe that this will work out and thet in the years to come, Decatur will be the best place on earth in which to live. As is known, we have a great marekt now, let’s keep making it better. Such a growth will be a conservative, safe, and sure one, not a boom, but much better. We have more macadam roads than any county our size in the United States. We have all the modern improvements and have them about paid for. The time is here when we will begin to reap a benefit therefrom. Do your part. Boost a good thing. The Howers-Niblick Grain company wants hay. 185tf

SOCIAL i|D|OING I 1 Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Martin Entertained For Their Friends Sunday. — J FT. WAYNE WEDDING The Carter Reunion of Last Week Was Happy Affair, With Many Present. At this writing the annual homecoming of the Carter family has again passed into history, having occurred in the Moser grove at Wren. Ohio, August 17, 1911. We are certainly gratified to announce that this reunion was unique in the fact that it had the largest attendance of any reunion yet held by the family, and in showing a deeper interest and a more fervent appreciation of the members’ acquaintance and associations. If the love and association in our family were ever dorman. as it is so apt to become when there is no combined endeavor to keep it renewed, we are proud to say that our family through its combined efforts is rapidly awakening from this lethargy. The results of this reunion are certainly evidence that the family has rightly grasped the purpose of these meetings and has not carelessly conceived of them merely as a place to participate in a bountiful dinner. They have a higher and better purpose than that; which purpose should be to strengthen and tighten the bonds of relationship in the family. There is always one thing to be regretted upon these occasions and that is the inability of a number to attend on a ?-. count of sickness and various other reasons. But yet those present should not allow these undesirable circumstances to mar the pleasure and enjoyment of their meeting, for possibly these obstacles that prevented the few from attending this year will be cleared and allow them to attend next year. ' at noon a dinner was served composed of a menu sufficiently varied to satisfy ( the appetite of the most fastidious. For instance, there was devil’s cake 'and angel’s food; bow could you help ■ but find that which suited you? Then | there was mangled chicken and scramI bled eggs, but the biggest scramble was to get to mangle the chicken. Well, suffice it to say, that the dainties were beyond description, but to appre-1 ciate to the fullest extent needed only ■ a participation in their consumption. I Another interesting feature of the occasion was the presence of a number lof new and distant relatives and I friends. Among these were: Mrs. EII mira Garrison of Columbia City, the ( only surviving member of the pioneer ( family of that locality; with her klso came her granddaughter, Miss Artie ' Swinney, of Columbia City, and two ' nieces, Misses Emma Carter and Beulah Jones, also of Columbia City. Others from a distance were Mrs. Alrneda Fellers. Tiffin, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Carter, Hubbard, Iowa; Mrs. Lacy-i anne Jones, Mt. Valley, Iowa; Mrs. H. Lindgrin, Chicago. Ill.; Mrs. Oliver Johnson, Fort Wayne. Ind.: Miss Goldie Worden^Marion, Ind.; Miss Mamie Brown. Berne, Ind. After rendering an interesting program, composed of m isic, recitations and general remarks, the latter being responded to eloquently by Uncle D. D. Carter and others, an organization was effected for the coming year as follows: William Bower, president: Clark Frisinger, vice president; Miss Nina Medaugh, secretary; C. S. Walters, treasurer; Miss Bertha Carter, corresponding secretary. and committees were appointed: Program, Clark Frisinger, Etta Wai-1 ters, Wyona Medaugh; arrangements, Wilson Carter, Benjamin Teeple, N. i R. Medaugh. The assembly adjourned, hoping for many more enjoyable , meetings.—Contributed. One of the prettiest weddings of the season was the one which united Miss . Miyme Miller and Mr. Roy Ehinger. 7 ne ceremony took place at St. Peter's Catholic church at 9 o’clock, the Rev. Charles Thiele officiating. The church was well filled with the many friends of the young couple, and the palms j and potted foliage plants in the chancel formed a pretty decoration for the , church. The bride was attended by Miss Rosella Ehinger, a sister of the ( groom, and Mr. George Miller, brother of the bride, was best man. The bride , wore a beautiful but girlish robe of white crepe de chine, hung over ivory satin, and trimmed with bands of hand embroidery studded with pearls. Orange blossoms formed the garland which held the tulle veil in her hair, and she carried a white prayer gook with markers of white ribbon and orange blossoms. The honor maid ' wore a gown of pale pink satin and carried an armful of American beauties. Following the ceremony a wed- < T ng breakfast was served at the home

| of the bride’s parents in Green street, | . Palms and many garden flowers were | used about the house in good effects, i and a large number of guests were inI vlted to the informal reception. An 1 1 elaborate wedding breakfast was served, the bride's table being deco- | rated with sweet peas and ferns and the handsome bride's cake, in the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Ehinger left for j Lake James, where they spent this week. For traveling the bride wore a 1 gown of navy blue satin with a white felt hat. After the first of the week j Mr. and Mrs. Ehinger will be at home ; I to their friends at their home in Maumee avenue. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Miller of 1628 Green 'street. Mr. Ehinger is a lineman for the traction company,— Fort Wayne News. ', Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Rice of Rural | i (Route No. 1 very pleasantly entertain ' Ii ed a number of their friends at 6 : o’clock dinner Sunday at their coun- ; try home, and the occasion was a most I . happy one.

Mr. and Mrs. Ben Rice of this city I and Milton and Oscar Fonner. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Martin Sunday entertained a number of their friends at 12 o’clock dinner in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Washington Gilpen pf Card- ; well. Mo.
