I The Misses Jeanette Kinney and Laurine Kellar went to Fort Wayne for a visit today. I The Old Adams County bank's Christmas Savings club will be open | until April 7. All wishing to join I should do so befor that date. Miss Mary Erwin returned from j Pleasant Mills this morning, where ( Ishe was spending her week’s vacation ■ 'with her cousin, Miss Gladys McMiljlen. James Young, well known colored ‘gentleman, from Wren, Ohio, who in years past, was a frequent visitor ■ here, called this morning to pay his respects. He is now eighty-four years old and in good health. > Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hurst and fam1 ily are moving into their own residence on Eleventh street, formerly the (Cross property. They have resided jon Eleventh street and the move is only a few houses distance away from i their former home. I Henry Moyer of northern Michigan is here for a visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Moyer, and others. Mr. Moyer lives near Lake Superior and works in the lumber camps. When he left his northern ' home, which he likes very much, there I was four feet of snow.

Mrs. John Niblick and daughter, Helen, spent the afternoon in Fort Wayne. Ed Clausm’eyer. ex-sheriff of Allen county, now agent for road supplies, was a business visitor here today. Miss Ruth Fisher of Fort Wayne is here for a visit with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Fisher and others. Mrs. John Heininger of Saline, Michigan, arrived this morning for a visit with her sister, Mrs. J. H. Rilling. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carroll and Mrs. Dallas Hunsicker went to Fort Wayne this morning to spend the day visiting with friends. Join the Old Adams County bank's Christmas Savings club before April 7. After that, it will be closed for joining. Get in on time. Bert Aber and wife of Pasadena, California, who have been visiting in this section for two weeks, came down from Fort Wayne and spent the day yesterday with Jay Cline and family. They left last evening on their return trip home. Secretary of State Lew Ellingham arrived last evening and is looking j after business affairs here and looking I up friends. He says the flood in Indi- 1 anapolis was bad enough, but not so serious as was first reported, so far as , loss of life is concerned. Mrs. E. B. Adams and her aunt, Mrs. Robert Adams, of Meadville, Pa., who has spent the winter with the I L. D. Adams family, went to Fort ( Wayne today noon. Mrs. Adams expects to return to Meadville the latter part of the month. A new trial was granted in common pleas court in Philadelyhia yesterday after it had been discovered that a deaf mute had sat as a member of the jury during the hearing of an ejectment suit. How the man became a member of the jury and why he sat through the trial unable to speak or hear, is a mystery which none of the court attaches could explain. Mrs. Sarah Fisher, who returned recently from Eaton, where she made an extended visit with her son, Lace Fisher, and family, reached home just in time to escape the floods. Nine years ago when Mrs. Fisher visited there tho waters came up into the Fisher home and they were forced to place the piano up on chairs to keep it dry. This year, just after the mother returned to her home here, the Fisher home at Eaton was flooded even greater than nine years ago. Mrs. ' Fisher makes her home while here with her daughter, Mrs. James Hurst. A deal has been completed in which A. S. Elzey has once more become owner of the business block here, in which formerly was located his bank. There is also in this building the postoffice, a restaurant and other business institutions, and it is one of the substantial business blocks of the town. Mr. Elzey secured the block in a deal with W ,H. Rupright, to whom he traded an 80-acre farm, northwest of Ossian, which farm Mr. Elzey bought about a year ago from the Goshorns. Mr. Elzey expects to remove all the partitions on the second floor and convert that floor into an auditorium for use of public gatherings, etc., also to use the place for a boy’s reading room and possibly a gymnasium later on. —Ossian News. The Half Not Told <>GE ONE eye can be kept on their actions. Orders are to shoot all looters. Mr. Votaw stated that fourteen men had been shot up to the time he left. Os these, five were state militiamen, who had attempted to loot. One of the victims was an innocent man. He was an aged man, hard of hearing, and he was attempting to enter his own bouse, when he was mistaken for a looter and shot. Any one carrying a bundle is challenged and stopped for examination. The receding waters give evidence of damage and death not dreamed of. An iron bridge was found a mile and a half away from its former location. The asphalt streets were found to be ripped up by the current, which tore up the large blocks and washed them away. The body of one man whom it was thought before was safe, was dug up Wednesday. It. is therefore impossible to estimate the fatality, as dead ' will be found from time to time as the waters go down. Some may never be found. It will probably be sixty days before the mnrtial law will be lifted. No idle sightseers are allowed, and all business ’ visitors must identify themselves as such. Last Sunday twelve or fifteen of the wealthy men from the high parts of Dayton went down to sight-see. They were unknown to the state militia, who gave them shovels and put them to work in their Sunday clothes. And they were forced to work ail day.
