Entered at the postofllce in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter THE NEW AND THE OLD David E. Smith today astimod the bench and became judge of the twentysixth judicial circuit of Indiana, succeeding Judge James T. Merryman, Who retires after six successful years. We greet Judge Smith, confident that the high appreciation in which he 13 held by the people of Adams county is most deserving and that the faith that has been imposed in him has not been misplaced. We love Dave Smith for his many good qualities, just the qualities that will make him a fair ; and impartial judge at all times and I under all circumstances. We knew ' him when we called him “Davey," and we have known him under conditions, which required a steady nerve and a quick brain and he has always ' made good. He has more friends to ' the square mile than has the average man, and every one of them believes , he has just started on his career. As ( a lawyer Oudge Smith has long been recognized as one o> the good ones of this part of the state. He is educated, has had the practice to prepare him and is in every way qualified for a the bench. We congratulate him sin- -• cerely and we believe that in doing c so we represent every one in Adams ’ county. Judge Merryman retires from the bench today, leaving a record that he ; f I *1 and all of his. may feel proud of. Honest, square, uprigiit and with the 1 J 1 knowledge of the law necessary, he] has fulfilled every requirement, has met every ordeal, and there are many , of them for the conscientious man. t who serves upon the bench, lias de- • tided the cases which came before him as lie believed right, without fear or favor from any man or set of men. , His decisions have been sustained al- . most universally by the supreme > court, when appeals were taken and I he has dealt out justice to his fellow I , man. as he believed it. His year upon the bench have but the better , prepared him for the practice of law and we believe and hope that he has before him. many years of usefulness! I I and success. We likewise congratulate him upon his splendid record, a record we repeat, that he and his friends have every right to feel one worth while. I PASTRY SALE.
