Catered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class ma>' The outlook for the success of the republican party in this state looks gloomy right now.-—Berne/Witness. A most wonderful admission from the official newspaper of Republican Chairman Egley, but agreed to by every republican paper in the state, except the Fort Wayne News, and they will move to make it unanimous ceiuie the real campaign opens. Inst think! Isn't it a shame? Portland, which is dry, had no roomers at the jail, according to last report Bluffton, also dry, had only one, and he from Adams county, and our own wet county seat had eleven at the jail, and reports two criminal assaults and one rough house in one day.—Berne Witness. Oh, well, not much excite ment is expected in those quiet villages. Things happen always v. hen a city is building. A man amounts to something only wjien his circle of influence assumes a reasonable size and intensity. Making good consists in farming your little hall-acre till it yields its maximum and then enlarging it gradually until you take in the county. This taking in process depends on ambition. Some men ape content to be pikers —others want to be powers. This difference is purely one of wishing.—Brass Tacks. Some ideas of what can be done may be realized if you visit the site of the new’ sugar factory. Though a good part of the weather since this job has started has been zero or below and the rest of the time sloppy and often two feet wet, many thousand dollars’ worth of work has been accomplished. It begins to look like there was something doing in that section of the community and it has been done under many adverse circumstances. The unanimous renomination of •-ntative .1. A. M. Adair by the democrats of the Eighth congressional district at Winchester Tuesday was a merited recognition of the high class services rendered the people of- - Eighth district and the country ; at large by this able and conscientious member of the Indiana congressional delegation. A man of large affairs, Congressman Adair has given to his public trust the same conscientious endeavor that has builded bls success in private life. The people of the Eighth district act wisely in recognizing conspicuous merit in public services, and in demonstrating that fart by this expression of continued confidence In Representative Adair. — Fort Wayne sentinel.

FRIDAY Mite —Mrs. John T. Myers. You must use your own judgment on yourself. Great is the weight of conscience in deciding on your own virtues snd vices; if that be taken .way, a'l fr Icet —Cicero, "Mrs. J. C. Sutton and sons, Alex, Murray and Harry, left today for the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex White, in Preble township, where they will remain through next week, the school vacation week and over Easter.

The wedding of Bernard F.

Sprunger, foreman of the Kalamazoo Gazette, was solemnized at nigh noon Wednesday by the Rev. Dr. Samuel Wagenhais, pastor of the Trinity English Lutheran church. The bridal gown was a handsome one of white satin, with trimmings of pearls and lace and proved exceedingly becoming. A wreath of tiny white rosebuds was worn in the place of a veil and the bouquet was of bride roses tied with gauze ribbons. ’ There were no attendants. Mrs. Joe A. West played the "Lohengrin*' march as the bride and groom took ; their places under an arch of foliage, i The decorations of the house were es- | pecially attractive and were tributes to the skill of Miss Meyer of South Chicago, a guest at the wedding. Their were twenty-five covers at the bride's table, which was garlanded with smi lax and had as its central decoration a basket filled with roses, sweetpeas and marguerites in white and tints of i pink. The nut baskets at the plates | were flower affairs, and a lighted pink ! candle stood at each cover. Out-of-town guests at the wedding were Mr. and Mrs S. F. Sprunger of Berne, Misses Meta and Minnie Sprunger of Pasadena, Cb’... parents and sisters of the bridegroom: Mr. and Mrs. John Phipps, jr.. Pomono, Cal., Miss Mollie Phipps. Butler. Ohio. The bride donI ned a blue w’hipcord traveling suit for , her wedding trip, and with it wore a j black and white straw hat with aig-1 rettes for trimming. After a three weeks’ tour of Florida, the bride and groom will go to housekeeping in their ' ■ own home in Kalamazoo. The bride-' • I eroom is n. rWvo of Berne, Ind., and ’ at one time .<as foreman of the Jour-' nal-Gnzett • composing room. He is | well known in Fort Wayne, and has many acquaintances among the rnusi- • i cal people." I ' -' Mr. Denison Krick of Union towni ship, residing near the Ohio-Indiana , state line was given a most pleasant i birthday surprise, arranged by his wife, on Wednesday.

At the meeting of the Presbyterian Ladies' Aid society at the home of Mrs. Mary Steele Thursday, Mrs. W. A. Lower, Mrs. Fred Patterson and Mrs. James Bain were appointed members of a committee to look into j a new financial work the society is j thinking of taking up. The plan was I suggested by Mrs J. S. Coverdale, I who visited at Logansport recently I I and learned of this one, which has ; been adopted by many of the i church there with financial sue-! cess. It is an organization conducted similar to a bank, to which the ladies I take stock, and others outside being i also p ivileged to take stock therein, I Tellers, and other officers are elect- i ed to take charge of the banking sys-1 tem. and the society meets only four I times a year for reports and for a banquet. The organization is a great financial success where tried, and the local order is thinking seriously of j taking it up. After the business 1 meeting, refreshments were served. Beginning with April, the beginning of the ecclesiastical year for the local ; Presbyterian congregation, the Wo- | man's Home and Foreign Missionary , society will adopt a new rule for fix- ’ ing their regular monthly meeting | dates.
