The Weekly Decatur Democrat, which was started in 1857, will b e discontinued after this week's issue having been completely absorbed by the daily of the same name, now about ten years old. The old Weekly Democrat has served its purpose well In the past as a disseminator of county news, and as the mcuth-piece of the ruling party of the county, but in this twentieth century of up-to-the minute news service it has outlived its usefulness. —Berne Witness. The decision of the senate committee to broaden the scope of its inquiry into the legislative lobby operating in ' Washington merits endorsement. To end the matter by perfunctory que?- ( tioning of senator* alone would be to g»t only one side of the question—and a very unsatisfactory side at that. What ought to be done —and what now seems assured—is to call every person whose name has been mentioned in conection with the "third house-" charges. This, of course, would include not only the lobby Interested in wool and sugar, leather and cattle, but also that interested in labor and liquor legislation. Labor and liquor lobbies have not been unheard of In Washington. Both prohibition and brewing influences bave from time to time been brought to bear on congress. These ought to be revealed for public discussion. —Indianapolis News. ICE CR2.AM SOCIAL. Ese Epworth League of the M.

Hensley, whose twentieth wedding' anniversary will be Sunday were given an advance surprise celebration last evening by a number of their friends. In some way, unknown to themselves, probably through some hypnotic influence, Mr. and Mrs. Hensley were gotten away from home about 8 o’clock. The ladies then slipped in and spread the tables with a feast of good things and were ready to greet the honored ones on their return. They were given a shower of linen, the presentation speech being made by T. M. Retd. Inasmuch as Mr. Hensley recently had a narrow escape when he fell into the lake at Rome City, the guests feared for his life there this summer, and presented him with a life preserver. This was cleverly done in a speech by J. S. Peterson, but close examination revealed that the preserver was mac\ of corks and strings. Mr. Hensley was not the only one upon whom tho jocularity fell, however. Before the assembly broke up, T. M. Reid, who so gallantly rescued Mr. Hensley by towing the boat to the shore while Mr. Hensley hung on behind, was called out upon the carpet. 0. L, Vanrq * then presented him with what appeared to be a Carnegie medal for his heroic deed. The medal proved tb be an Ingenious arrangement of the metal tops from beer bottles, suspended to ribbons. Guests were Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Vance, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Peterson, Mr. and Mrs George Flanders, Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Reid.
