A correct and sufficient answer is marked two and one-half per cent, the total if the employee has made a perfect record, giving one hundred per cent One place in this city has been discovered where Bluffton’s pet prowler made an entrance and succeeded in stealing something. The old boy has been rather unsuccessful in getting his hands upon anything, but this time he, or one of his imitators selected an empty nouse and stole a carpet. When Ralph Todd purchased the Nel Todd home he also purchased one of the carpets already upon the flo or,and intending to move in soon, left the carpet upon the floor. After buying the James Halo property on West Market street, and deciding they would make their home there instead of the Main street property, it was decided to look up the carpet. Mrs. Todd went yesterday to see after it, Intending to sell it to another party, but the carpet had been gently lifted from the floor. Along with the floor covering had also gone a step ladder and some minor articles that had been left in the house. The matter has been left in the hands of Officer Fritz, who has a clue or two to work on.—Bluffton Banner.

MEMORIAL Whereas —The ranks of the civil war veterans have again been entered and our esteemed comrade, Jeremiah 'Russell, has answered the Great Commander’s call, and to-day, is bouvlaclng with a million more of his dead comrades, who when the ting of his country was assailed, trampled upon and dishonored in 1861 by internal dissentions, went forth and lent his assistance and displayed his pattriotiem in its defense on the battle fields of Fort Deliusey, Pleasant Hili, Bayon Maurie and Yellow Bayon and other noted battles, and was again permitted to see that flag floating from hill and vale, mountain and valley in the country he so dearly loved. Therefore be it resolved—That in comrade Russell’s death, Sam Henry Post has lost a true and loyal member the community, a model citizen, the state and nation, a patriotic and lawabiding man. Resolved—That we extend to his bereaved widow and children our sincere sympathy in the great loss they have sustained by the death of a loving husband and an indulgent father, and as a token of love end icgard for our deceased comrade, we have draped our post hall in mourning for a period of thirty days. Resolved —That a copy of these resolutions be handed the widow, a copy spread on the records of this post and a copy given the city dailies for publication. T. W. MALLONEE. S. O. BURKHEAD. B. W. SHOLTY. Cofcmittee. WORDS OF APPRECIATION. Will you allow a reader of your paper to express, through its columns, a few words of sincerest appreciation for this wonderful intellectual and musical treat which is being given us this week through the efforts of some of Decatur’s public-spirited business men, men who have demoted time, labor and an untold amount of patience in order that this year’s Chautauqua be a success? To them be all praise! It the majority—and a vast majority, too —of our people who are attending the sessions of the week’s program are not enthusiastic in their praise of the many good and splendid things given us by the speakers and musicians, something is lacking in their make-up and there is some fault due —to what? —environment or heredity? It is hard, it is indeed impossible to please every person. We have our likes and dislikes and in having them we are fortunate. That which pleases one displeases another. There are exceptions to all rules ot course and this chautauqua is a marked exception for it is giving great satisfaction and pleasure to everyone. That recognizable, ever-present and dreaded curse—the “knocker” —receives scant attention, for every chautauquan is enthusiastic in his and her praise of this season’s talent. A lasting benefit will be felt in this city and community. We are getting a taste of good things, things that count, which are worth while, which I for one am hoping will form ,a habit that cannot, will not and must not be broken. Tiiere should be no question as to whether or not we have a chautauqua next year. We appreciate things worth while enough to demand, if necessary, a 1915 chautauqua. A READER. GILLILAN ON "REUNIONS” Strickland Gillilan, the humorist who was here Monday evening at the Chautauqua, says in part on “Reunions” in the Indianapolis Star this morn in: "The man of forty or more who attends a reunion gets kissed by more than any other person. Most of these are aunts who knew him when. Half the time, if he can withdraw from the throng, he spends in solitude, blushing to think what those aunts know about his childhood. Aunts are the fondest things in the world. A man who possesses two six-cylin-der aunts in full possession of all their kissing faculties has a regular surfeit ot love, even if everybody else on earth hates him. One nice thing about family reunions is that Bill’s wife whom none of the other women have seen, but of whom they’ve heard so much in the way of male praise that they all hate her, attends and is pained to fare you-well after it is over. —— REV. RILLING RETURNS. Rev. J. H. Rilling, who spent one week at Oakwood park assembly, and one week at the Winona Bible conference, is at home and will fill his pulpit Sunday morning at the Evangelical church.
