Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, ndiana. as second-class mai'. The Adams-Allen senatorial convention will be held at Fort Wayne on Wednesday, April 12th, this arrange nit nt having been completed Monday evening. Stephen B. Fleming, present senator, is the only candidate. 't’s time to think about a general cleaning day in Decatur. During the winter, and by the way, it’s been a long one, filth and dirt have gathered nearly everywhere. It must be cleaned up. It ought to be done soon. A ' few years ago we had a general cleaning day in the city, and it worked. It should be done now and can be if | somebody will just grab hold. The most important duty of every voter in Adams county is to register on May 9th. It is then when the loyal democrat will do as the law requires, i qualifying to vote in November. You 1 cannot tell what will happen. You i might be absent when the next regis- i uaiion day comes. .j .... - -n fl. . -v von mieht boa

The merits of the law have nothing to do with it. You must register or you cannot vote, and the man who disfranchises himself will have no right to take part in the elections of the next two years. The republican convention, for the nomination of a state ticket has again been postponed instead of having t'.e convention in April as has been the restom in the past it was some time ago announced that the conventidn would be held in June. Just why was never told, but it is supposed th (t the wise ones who do things thought it best to settle to some degree the Taft-Roosevelt squabble, and to likewise await the announcement of enough candidates to hold a convention. Then Mr. Stout, the regular announcer for the party, said that July bad been fixed as the date. Os course ■ he may not have told the truth, but ' any way the papers this morning an- ’ pounce that the meeting has again j been postponed until the first of Au- l gust We would suggest that the date be fixed for November 6th, saving a lot of worry and needless expense. C. C. Schug of Berne was a business visitor here today. Miss Ludmilla Lauer, Mr and Mrs. D. M. Reed of Fort Wayne and the Misses Bertha Hofstetter and Inez Snellon of Willshire, Ohio, were among the out of town guests at the dan: o Monday evening.

ams county, Indiana, n the year 1843, living here until the time of b“_death. She gave her heart to God at the age of 15 years and lived a faithful, consistent Christian until He called her home. After conversion at the age of fifteen years' she j i united with the M. E. church, and continued a member of this organization until she was called to join the church triumphant. Before crossing the dor I dan of Death, she expressed a desire to go, saying, “It is so sweet to enter the presence of Jesus." While we are loath to give her up, yet God knows best and our loss is her eternal gain. Deceased was married to Igiwson Lenhart May 3. 1846. This union was blessed with nine children, four of whom have already entered into the spirit land. Her husband also preceded 1. -r into eternity. She leaves to mourn their loss five children, one brother, 26 grandchildren. 37 greatgrandchildren. besides a large circle of relatives and friends. Say, why should friendship grieve for those Who safe arrive on Canaan's shore? Released from all their hurtful foes, They are not lost but gone before. How many painful days on earth. Their faintins spirits numbered o'er? Now they enjoy a heavenly birth. 1 hey are not lost but gone before. Dear is the spot, where Christians sleep, A d sweet the strain which angels pour. Oh! why should we in anguish weep. They are not lost but gone before. Secure from every mortal care. Ry sin and sorrow vexed no more. Eternal happiness they share, , Who are not lost, but gone before. , To Zion's peaceful courts above. In faith triumphant may we soar. | Embracing in the arms ol love The friends not loaf, but gone I before. To Jordan’s banks whene'er we come And hear the iwalling waters roll, Father, convey us safely home, To friends not lost, but gone before. MADE OMELET MONDAY.
