REMINISCENSE OF PLEASANT MILLS. I I By E. F. Gilpin. Long ago before whistles disturbed us from slumber. Or railroads recorded their daily mishap, A village, perhaps forty houses in number. Pleasant Mills, Indiana, was placed on the map. Here nature had lavished her beauty and splendor, And the first rays of dawn in their hurry to greet, Like a child, kissed the village so loving and tender, Then smiled on the river that lay at its feet. A woolen and flour mill hero were erected. Few cities could boast of a wonder so great; And the snug little village, as fnight be expected, Was one of the happiest then in the State. | Yet one thing was lacking, a name was in need, | Success ever crowning where energy wills, A name was selected, appropriate indeed, In line with industry, the name “Pleasant Mills.” Cunning minds here derived water power to deliver, And a body of water, smooth, placid and calm, Was backed -for a mile and a half up the river, And pressed into service by means of a dam. This watc- ,n y <’o-’”ant, though not of its choosing, 1 dustrlcus by nature, not given to shirk. Indignant, perhaps, at the time It war losing, When car-' 1 in mill race, wem willing to work. Like the wild beast, that leaps on the victim so eager; It shot down the mill race, so willing and fast, And charged on the wheel, with the power and vigor, Os a shoemaker pounding away at his last. Nor stopped not to rest till its work was complete; It took the raw wool as it came

from the farm, And stacked it on counters and tables so neat, In fine bolts of cloth, and in long skeins of yarn. And it ground the ripe grain as it came from the garner, Detained as it rushed on its way to the goal. And gladdened the heart of the housewife and farmer, And aided the miller in gaining his toll, Nor stopped for return.for the help it had given, As it leaped from the wheel in its i hurry to go, But shot like a rocket, through space 1 in ' Heaven. And wa. mst at. the bend of thej river below. The dam that tor years, had rebelled against Nature, That backed up the water and held it, at bay, Has yielded at last, and succumbed to the pressure, And along with the wreckage has ! drifted away. The fire caught the mills, in their days of decline. And stripped them as wind strips the sails from the mast, Not a vestige of mill dam or mill is remaining, And have gone down Into history, a thing of the past. —Contributed. SPECIAL PRIVILEGES. i Granted Patrons of Interurban and Majestic Theater. i O. P. Schug, traveling passenger and : freight agent for the Fort Wayne & Springfield Railway company, has 1 made arrangements with the Majestic , theater, Fort Wayne, whereby the Decatur residents can be given a good . opportunity to attend plays in Fort Wayne at least once a month, at a minimum cost and with the best accommodations. The first of these specialties will be Thursday evening, November 16th, for the play, “Polly of the Circus,” with Georgia Olp as star. A special car will leave at 7 |o’clock and wait for the theater-goers until after the play. The special I price of |1.25 will pay for both the ! round trip railway fare and the theatler ticket, the tickets to be secured at the interurban office here. The seats

. — , are among the best in the house, being reserved on the ground floor, between the fourth and tenth rows. The specials . will be given at least once a month, and the interurban management considers itself lucky to get this opportunity for its patrons. e HELD GOOD MEET. ! Hand Doctors Assembled Yesterday at Fort Wayne. Fifty physicians from Fort Wayne I and other northern Indiana points heard Dr. Charles W. Emerson of Indianapolis, conduct a clinic at Hope hospital Wednesday. Dr. Emerson's theme was "Internal Medicine,” and hi its discussion he used in an illustrative way a case of arterio-sclerosis, a case of parenchymatous nephritis and ; a case of aortic insufficiency. Dr. Emerson placed especial emphasis upon some of the apparently inconsequential details of diagnosis which often, I he said, prove of profound importance. The speaker is dean of the Indiana University School of Medicine, and was formerly an associate professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins university, where he was associated with Dr. William Osler. The occasion of Dr. Emerson's coming to Fort Wayne was the fall meeting of the Twelfth District Medical society and its work was continued in a ; session at the court house assembly room in the afternoon Upon the program there were Dr. D. S. Linville, of ' Columbia City; Dr. ,T. W. C. Scott, Hecla; Dr. G. W. McCaskey, Fort Wayne; Dr. B. P. Weaver, Fort Wayne; Dr. George B. Morris, Poneto; Dr. C. R. Dancer, Fort Wayne; Dr. L. P.
