Meibers and Mrs. Anna Droppieman spent the day visiting in Fort Wayne. So many people say the wrong thing it is easy to conclude that the devil invented conversation. There must not be much to the man because a woman who acts like a man usually isn’t very popular. The Rev.

Owens near Ohio City Tuesday. Mrs. David Brown left this morning for Tippecanoe, where she was called by the illness of her son, Harv ?y Brown, who is suffering from neural gia and erysipelas.

The latest , thing in Judges is a woman empowered to sit in judgment upon a woman accused of crime, it is expected that they will now get their just deserts. If they’d jest cut off th’ supply o’ cigarettes, peace negotiations would begin t'morrow. It begins to look like we’d all be sick an’ tired o’ baseball again this year long before th’ season opens.—Abe Martin. Pemberville, a village of one thou sand persons in Wood county, voted under the Beal local option election law and went dry by eight votes. The vote was one hundred and forty-four wet. and one hundred thirty-six dry. Not a vote was challenged. Fifteen more votes were cast than in the November election. That Noah Davis’, the Columbia City murderer, will plead guilty to first degree murder Is the belief of county officials of Whitley county, it will be remembered that Davis, insane with jealousy, because his wit' had walked home from a revival service with a man with whom she was In love, shot and killed her Saturday night. ( Clergymen will no longer have to pay full fare in traveling over the Pennsylvania railroad system. The former plan of giving pastors half fare rates, again became effective Fri-’ day, January 1. The order applies to pastors in every locality through which the Pennsy passes. The half rate plan for ministers was dispensed with three years ago, because of the passage of the two-cent fare laws. . Relatives of Dan Ernst received word today from him informing theiji of his marriage to Miss Madge Miller, at Indianapolis a short time ago. Mr. Ernst is a well known painter of this city and two weeks ago went to Indianapolis. No word had been heard from him until some of his relatives in this city received a letter from him yesterday. The letter stated that he would return here tomorrow. —Bluffton Banner Jchnny Gannon, sixty-five, known as the the gunner boy of Shiloh, is dead at Frankfort, Ind., after an illness. He was born in New York and as a waif was sent w« -t with a number of orphans and found a home in Fraim fort.. When the civil war broke out lie was too young to enlist as a soldier. He went as a drummer, under an assumed nam> and was in the service almost four years. Gannon return cd when the war ended. During -every political campaign ho and his drum jhave been in evidence. For the convenience of the farmers of the surrounding counties, who have contributed to the business growth and prosperity of the town, a club house has been erected at Seymour, Ind., and is being maintained for their exclusive use. Membership in the organization is limited to agriculturists and their families, who make their residence during their periodical visits from the country. Housekeeping equipment is provided so that meals may be cooked and served by a family in the same manner as if it were at home. There are several small apartments in the building, each fitted with modern conveniences, so that a family may have privacy if it is desired. There are reading rooms and rest rooms, comfortably furnished and well supplied with hooks and current literature. ami in one part of the building there is a large nursery where a matron is in censiaut attendance to care for the children so that the parents may be free to transact their business. \ picture of the building appears io the January Popular Mechanics Magazine. In the “Poultry Raising” Department of the current issue of “Farirt and Fireside" an account recently appear'd of exceptional hens that have laid two eggs in one day. In the current issue of the same periodical a Massachusetts poultryman describes as follows the unusual egg-laying propensities of live liens in his flock: “One of my pullets that laid two eggs in one day in May last, laid five days preceding and two days succeeding, making nine eggs in Hie eight days. I am still in a surprised attitude at her performance, for I had the pullet in my hands when she dropped the two eggs. She was not one of my best or most persistent layers. There were four others that laid two eggs in one day in May. though not all on the same day. I had a pullet that began to lay on the 11th day of October and laid 5-1 eggs to the 27th of December, when she started to molt and did not lay another egg until March S. 1 never had a pullet molt before or since until one. molted iu October of the next year.”

How some auto drivers time ’emselves t' be on a railroad erossln’ jest when a train is goin’t’ use it ’ll alius remain a mystery. Like th’ feller who takes u cold buth ever' mornin’, th’ feller who wears th’ same weight underwear th' year around don’t care who knows it. —Abo Martin. Report, from Dunkirk Tuesday was to the effect that there were twenty cases of small pox in the town and vicinity. Residents declare but little precaution is being taken to prevent the spread of the disease since even those persons who have been exposed to the disease have not been placed under quarantine. The schools, churches, picture shows and other places of public gatherings are still open. Although none of the cases have have been serious enough to result in the death of the victims, the situation is regarded, however, a very dangerous one. When a man puts an advertisement into a newspaper he is starting a demand that may last for years. A few days ago a customer appeared ia an Andrews store and asked for an article saying the store had advertised that article in the Andrews Signal four years before. , The customer did not need it at that time, but remembered tlie advertisement when he did need it. No doubt many of the articles were Bold in the few weeks immediately following the publication of the advertisement, but this was a good illustration of the lasting quality of advertising.—North Manchester News.
