The crowd began coining early and by 8 o’clock there was no doubt that the crowd was to be a record-breaker. Everybody wore the smile that wouldn't come off and one could easily discern that they were out for a good time. The Little Helping Hand society, comprised of little girls devoted to a charitable cause, will handle a refreshments stand on Court street tomorrow. -They will sell coffee, sandwiches, candies, pop corn, etc. Cail on them.

"That’s a fine baity of yours. Bill,” said the boss to his chauffeur. "Yes, Mr. Wilkins," said the chauffeur "My wife and I are pretty proud of him.

Elmer Smith was taken seriously ill Tuesday and for a time was in a serous condition. For a year or more he has been in poor health and while driving a team on Seventh street was stricken with an attack of heart trouble and asthma. He drove to the Fish er barn where he keeps his team and a physician was summoned. He is reported somewhat beter. Some farmers take a very optomistic view of the wheat prospects and others take the opposite extreme. There are a few farmers who are guessing that thir crops will average thirty busliels to the acre. Other farmers declare the straw is heavy but that the head is not filled out. They say that when threshing starts the real truth of their assertions will be proved. E. M. Wagner, the field manager for the sugar company, was all smiles last evening as he drove into town with a sugar beet that measured seven inches around and fourteen inches long. “Think of it." he said, "a beet that measures fourteen Inches on June 25. Why, I'll bet a new hat that I will find beets that measure three feet In length next fall," and Bill Shrock took the het. The beet crop sure does look good.

France of the Columbia City Commercial-Mail, formerly city clerk and mayor of Decatur, looked in a minute today, long enough to say hello and good-bye. Berne people were here today by the scores, several places of business in that thriving town being closed. When they do anything in that town they do it just right.
