The weather man was good to us Five clear days out of six is not so bad. and even if the rain did come on the big day, no one can deny the success of Old Home Week. It has been wonderful, and the big crowd today Is but further proof that a week’s celebration is not too much for the people of Adams county when you give them something. Billy Wilson, an Old Home Comer from Minneapolis, came in Friday evening to say good-bye In doing so he remarked: "We’ve got a bunch of boosters In .Minneai>olis that have made us famous, but I want to say that they havn’t got a thing on your bunch in Decatur. Tell them all that I have had the best time of my life." If this remark, and we have heard a hundred similar ones, don't repny you for the labor and the cost, you havn’t got the real stuff in you. Billy also added that when we give another he is coming if he is within 3,609 miles. An expert horseman, one of the ( best in the country, made the statement that in all his life he had never seen 150 head of so good horses as were exhibited n the show here Friday. The industry has for years been one of our good ones and the stoc k raisers of Adams county refuse to take off their hats for any one when it comes to good horses Every one of the horses shown here Friday, excepting two. were raised in Adams county. We are proud of the showing and the committee is more than thankful for the interest manifested. I All glory to the boys who did it I They deserve great credit for the I past week has doue more to mark Decatur than anything ever done here. But how- could we fall with such men in the game as Flank Schirtneyer, Herman Yager. Ed Ehinger French Quinn, Charley Dugan. Jesse Hutton. Bill Schrock. Chai Schafer. F. H Hubbard. John Myers, Henry Tborm s. l-ee Vance, Ell Wagner Harry Mohr, Charles Christen and others, and these assisted by every business man. every church and lodge and citiaen hi thia community. It had to succeed and it did Hals off to the gang Old Home Week’s over and the election two weeks from next Tuesday • ill be the next event of interest. The campaign has waged for six week*

and is drawing to a close, with a threecornered fight in which the democrats have a walk-away from ail present appearances. It will soon be over, in faet, it is practically assured now that the next president and vice president will be Wilson and Marshall, that Sam Ralston will be governor of Inilana, that, the entire state ticket will be elected, that the legislature will be almost solidly democratic, and that Adams county will remain a greener spot than ever.

ITS SUCCESS IS UNPARALLELED ed church heard read from their former pastor, the Rev. Henry W. Vitz. now of Indianapolis, the following letter of greeting, which is of general interest: When we first heard of the great Home-coming inaugurated by the wide-awake citizens of Adams county’s main city, we anticipated a most t leasant and happy reunion, for we had considered it as self-evident to be there. Each invitation received, every word heard or read on the great jubilee, quickened the pulsation of the heart, intensified the soul’s longing to be there, so that we could in fact say, we were homesick. As the date of the celebration approached we could not check this peculiar affliction of the heart, for memory has been aroused from its sleep and the past has been brought to the present. When we awake in the morning our thoughts are with Decatur, its home and friendship ties, and as the king of the day continues on his journty to the dusk of night there ever passes before our mind as the shadows of a reel upon a screen the memories of various experiences enjoyed and endured, while we were permitted to enjoy the citizenship of that beauti'til and thrifty city on the banks of ’he St. Mary’s river It is therefore with sincere regret, that we are by circumstances ompelled to notify you of our inability to be present at. and to participate in the jubilee of your beio.ed city. May the above words assure ’ you, however, that we shall be wtth I you In spirit. It Is self-evident that lour ’ brer wishes accompany these I for this occasion and reason and I As we understand those of the R.i formed church will meet in their place of worship on Thursday evening. Since we have served this congrration from 1885 to 1897, w* would for this occosion and reason »«nd them spacial greetings. We have learned of your going forward, your growing in strength both spiritually and numerically and that you are mating yourself more worthy of the name you bear, at real Zion, according to the Scriptures. The friendly relationship between the vsrMras denori laations. which existed In our time Is as we have been Informed. held The Reformed church has a aood confession, nevertheless true to our tradition. w® can shake hands with our neighbor over the fence We therefore extend our greetings to all Ibe churches of licatur and may Buy all through the preaching of the word be a power unto salvaHcm to thr.se •ho believe. L Wishing the city and Its cltisen*. the county ol Adams and its people clods blessing in things secular a* well *• spiritual, we remain Sincerely yours. HENRY W. VITZ.
