It will come from all present indications and it will be a success if we each do a little toward making it so. Governor Marshall's speech at Fort Wayne Friday evening will be one of the important ones of the campaign It’s a safe bet that he says some i things worth bearing. i The directors of the sugar company ! will hold their first session in Decatur uu July 3rd. It is an important oc-. casion for the community and for | i the state, for they will pass their opinion on the locality in general. Here's hoping they are doubly satisfied with üß ' 1 ' President Taft is showing unexpected, strength in the Ohio convention now in progress and Governor Harmon is having the battle of his career to hold his delegates in line. Politics this year seems to be as full of the unexpected as a ball game at the end of the pennant fight. If you are going to Baltimore aboard the Indianapolis special, it should be remembered that your berth fee must be sent in before the tenth. It will be a trip of a life time, this frain carrying the military band and several uniformed clubs. The train leaves that city on the twentythird, and those who go are assured admission to the big convention. As the perfect, organization of the Taft machinery begins to develop, the chances for the president to be renominated have brightened considerably and the betting is again even. He is holding his delegates together firmly and his forces have by no means abandoned the cause. Colonel Roosevelt is a wise politician, but he is up against the real thing, for the leaders of the Taft campaign are old war horses who know every move in tie game and have some new ones. NOTICE. The parties who have been milking the cows in the old fair grounds are known and if they do not stop, they will be prosecuted. 134t6 C. B. NIBLICK. o WANTED—Several men. Call at E. L.

Guests from a distance were Misses Opal Hummer and Ida Taylor of Pennville and Amos Mosure of Bluffton. The party was given at the home of the celebrant’s father, nine miles southwest of Decatur, he being one of the most prominent and wel-to-do farmers of Kirkland township. Miss Onsta Cramer, one of the ehkf operators of the Citizen's Telephone company, Monday celebrated her seventeenth year with the company. The occasion was one long to be remembered by Miss Cramer, when Monday evening at 9 o’clock, after repairing to her home from work, and getting ready to retire, the door opened and in walked her “hello girl" companions at the office. They held in their hands seventeen magnificent dark-red velvety hot-house roses—one for each year of Miss Cramer’s service, which they presented to her. While this does not signttiv that those years of service were one continual bed of roses, still Miss Cramer has found the work pleasant and agreeable, and that may be said of her work also, by her patrons and her employer, for she is recognized as one o f the best operators in the district. The pleasant visit was indeed a surprise to Miss Cramer, and it was some time before she recovered. But then came a round of games and chatting until late, when the luncheon which the visitors brought with them was spread picnic fashion and enjoyed. There were ham sandwiches, pickles, potato salad, ice cream, cake, coffee, and strawberries to tempt the palate. The party Included the Misses Sylvia Droppleman. Frances Baker, Gertrude and Agnes Omlor, Inez Coverdale, Margaret Daniels, Mildred Coffee and Frances Rademaker. Everyone has the heartiest good wishes to extend to Miss Cramer, who recognize and appreciate her many years of excellent work in this capacity. __ One of the many pre-nuptial affairs given for Miss Lillian Meyers, whose marriage to Joseph Lose will be solemnized Wednesday morning at the St. Mary's Catholic church, was the friendship shower given Monday evening by the Misses Ode and Letta Fullenkamp at their home on Adams street. Yellow and white were the colors carried out. Little hearts in these colors were pierced with j strings and festoons of these draped j in the archwav and from the chande- j lier. Seven little tables accommodated the players at pedro and in this interesting game, prizes, beautiful pieces of linen which were then given to the bride-elect, were won by the Misses Margaret Conter and Starost. The cards gave way later to a very toothsome luncheon, the menu of which was carried out in yellow and white. Assisting in the waiting of the tables were the Misses Ger maine Coffee and Marie Gast. A very pleasing accompaniment to the other entertainment features was the flue music rendered during the evening by Miss Bertha Kohne. The dining room was then thrown open for the shower. On the table were laid the prettily wrapped parcels, over which was a canopy of yellow and white streamers. These were caught at the chandelier, over the center and brought down to the sides of the table, where they were fastened with bows, forming a cone-shaped canopy, over the shower. From the chandelier were festooned the hearts. The parcels, which were unwrapped by Miss Movers revealed many pretty presents of all kinds—pictures, linen, china, aluminumware, all symbolic of the good wishes that go with her from her friends. Those attending besides the gue3t of honor, Miss Meyers, were the Misses Anfelia Weber, Louise and Mayme Brake, Margaret and Anna Clark, Agnes Costello, Alice Knapp, Lydia Miller, Bertha Kinney, Margaret Gallogly, Stella Bremerkamp, Bertha Kohne, Tillie and Lollie Meibers, Margaret Conter, Agnes Starost, Rose and Ress Tonnelier, Celeste Wemhotf, Emma Terveer, Bertha John, Vena Parent, Vera Ehinger, Mayme and Leoona Harting, Emma Gillig, Mrs. Fred Schaub, and the Misses Nettie and Jennie Gast of Celina, Ohio. o .

Hale is the following written three years ago on the third blrtli anniversary of her little granddaughter, Carolyn Parker, February 26, 1909: And so you're three years old they say, I can hardly believe It true. It seems to me but yesterday, Since first I looked at you. Your face was wee and round and wry, And I fancied a little sad. You knew not whether to laught or cry, Or just be happy and glad That the stork had dropped you in his flight, Taking with him both your wings. But you were strong and good and right, And made the best of things. And no one ever dare tell Grandma You’re not sweeter than you uok. But ain’t you coming here some day? I feel like one forsook. A little jacket trimmed with white. Is waiting now for thee, And a stunning pair of bloomers That fasten at the knee. And the cutest little bathing suit, To wear when you roll off the dock. For you must never go a diving, In your pretty Sunday frock. Now if you don’t come and get them, The fault’s not yours, I know; So I’ll send them by the postman, But he is awful slow.
