-BARRIERS BURNED AWAY." "Barriers Burned Away," in play , farm, is coming to the opera house Monday, October 9th. Many are those who have read this famous novel with interest and many an ounce of mid night oil has been burned by the readers of the country to whom the story proved so interesting, that the book refused to be closed until the story was finisUud. The play is said to be even more interesting than the novel, though that seems hardly possible. The theme of the story is founded upon the great Chicago fire which wiped out the barrier of wealth that existed between the love of a poo. young man and a wealthy and haughty young woman. George Middleton, the dramatist, is said to have translated the story to . the stage with a care and with the ' fidelity that shows respect for the novelist's name and the book’s fame. Messrs. Gilson & Bradfield have given the play the usual sumptuous l mounting and excellent cast that is ; cbarasteristic of their productions. TORE UP THE TRACK. At 2:30 Friday afternoon extra 14, a fast freight on the Clover Leaf, had ' a wreck on the reverse curve just east • of Peterson. The train had started out of Bluffton to make the run to Dec.itur and was progressing smoothly until at the curve, a defective flange on one of the cars near the middle of the train climbed the rail and threw the truck at an angle across the track. The speed of the train caused two cars to follow in the path of the truck and over half a mile of trad: was torn up. and the cars damaged. A message was sent to Delphos and the wreck crew from there came to the scene, while another train picked up aL the section men east of Marion and | brought them to the scene o' the wreck. As soon as the cars were gotten out of the way the section men be- < gan fixing dp the track, the traffic be- ; ing delayed about five hours. None of the crew were injured as they wen in the caboose. CUT HICKORY TREES. Some time Wednesday some persons | entered the large woods on the Elias Crist farm four miles southwest of the city, and cut down several second- ■ growth hickory trees to secure the hickory nuts thereon. The destrm - ■ tion of the trees was discovered late 1 Wednesday and the track of the buggy j used by the parties was followed some distance, giving a pretty good clue. However, to be sure and to secure i further evidence a detective agency was notified and a detective is now working on the case. A vigorous I prosecution is promised the guilty ' parties. TO ALL CONCERNED. Notice is hereby given that on Thursday, October 21. 1911, will begin the survey of all that portion of lands and in-lots located between Ninth and Tenth streets and Jackson and Monroe streets, in Crabbs' western addition to the city of Dech’ur.

STEP TO PREVENT FIRES. People to Begin Study and Clean Up I Monday, October 9th. | Indiana will take her first step in 1 a systematic effort to prevent fire by . observing "Fire Prevention Day" In every school and city Monday, Octo- . ber 9th. The $6,0(19,000 property loss J by tire in this state each year has fin- I ally gained her attention and the proclamation by Governor Thomas R. Mar- ! shall setting aside the fortieth anir ' versary of the great Chicago confla- ! gratfon as a day to study fire preven 1 tion and clean up the business and ' home premises, resulted. Next Monday, following instruction-' given in a pamphlet issued by Charles . A. Greathouse, state superintendent of • public instruction, the pupils in the public schools of the state will be, taught how- they can help prevent the I deatli and property loss which is j i growing larger each year. During 1910 SSOO worth of property was de- I strayed every minute in the United States and more than four people killed every day as a result of carelessness or negligence which caused the fires. Following the plan of Ohio and a few other states Superintendent Great- I house sent to all the schools of the I state, lesson leaves containing in- | struction in fire prevention. These leaflets show that ipost of the fires result from carelessness by individuals. Matches are one of the greatest sources of danger and of the 10,0(9) used every minute in the United States more than 3,300 of them cause a fire. The lesson is, use safety matches or be more careful. Gasoline is another danger and the resolutions for the school children provide I for more care in using fire about the oil. If all the pupils adopt the resolutions it will mean that several thousand hands will hereafter prevent rubbish to accumulate and that they will never start a fire where there is danger of its spread. Eat at Holty’s once and you will always do so. The best and cleanest.

Vi vy n w/iinn’ <’The farmer’s business rind ncing often needs a little exTh o -Pn vrn or tra financial backing if it Ulu Idlilld is to grow and prosper. That is one reason why he should have a strong and willing bank behind him. It is an important function of this bank to give temporary assistance to farmers who seek it of ns, and who have demonstrated their ability to repay obligations when due. The best way to establish a credit here is to carry an account with us, and we cordially invite not only the farmer but every one who wants to gain ground financially to do so.
