It is complete and convenient and well printed and we believe the people of this community will appreciate the fact that the company which did the work of gathering the information and producing this very necessary book, lost several hundred dollars in doing it. So far we have failed to arouse any great enthusiasm for a Centenial celebration in.this county. If we are to have one we ought to start planning it right now. If you favor it say ro now. Don't wait until next autumn and then say the community is dead. A little encouragement at this time will produce the best event of the*kind i ever given in this county. Do you ’ want it? It was an interesting story to both Republicans and Progressives in Indi- 1 ana, the newspaper story in which s Justice Charles E. Hughes adds to tor- 1 mer pronouncements against the use of his name in conection with the presidential nomination, says the Marion Leader-Tribune. The fact that I < Justice Hughes has declined, and will s continue to decline to allow the use ( of his name by Republicans or combinations, is not new. The fine work of Frank Hitchcock! was the most entertaining feature. ] x- Hitchcock and his followers had de- , cided upon the naming of Justice 1 Hughes and as an inducement to have I I him accept, relieving the anticipated 1 president of as much of the detail rs the presidential drudgery as possible I Mr. Hitchcock has begun selecting the cabinet, agreeing to sacrifice his per I, sonal interests, and accept ids old posi- , tion of postmaster general. So nice 1 of him and so like the old machine methods. The inside information is that it must be either Roosevelt cr * 1 Hughes, which is about the way Theo- L dore put it through his Chicago meet- t ing. The Hitchcock propaganda puts 1 it this way: | "Mr. Hitchcock is to be chairman I of the national committee and again postmaster general, therefore the dis- ( penser of patronage, and that those | who indorse his views and support you i as presidential candidate will receive I commensurate consideration after-1 wards. The arrangements is not to I I I antagonize Roosevelt, because it w’ill I, be surely Hughes or Roosevelt.” When Mr. Hitchcock hastens to de-1 ny any knowledge of the plan it sounds I something like Republican orators I and newspapers denying that Indiana I

Last Friday evening a jolly band of country folks, with well filled baskets met at the county farm and then went in a body to the home of Thomas A. Dowling, a few rods distant. Arriving at the home they stole quietly on the porch and neighborly-like, walked in. Not until nearly forty persons hall entered was the surprise complete, because a neighbor woman and her daughter were the only ones expected. The entire house was turned over to the neighbors, who then proceeded to make the evening’s entertainment one grand success. A social chat was enjoyed, in which every one took part. The music was furnished by Mexican John, who convinced those present that he was an artist at rattling bones. By the use of the bones he demonstrated the croaking of a frog, explosion of a fiveeent bunch of small fire crackers, and the different gaits of a horse. The playing of the piano and harp by Ar- . thur Minney was very much appreciated. Readings by Miss Blanche Ford and Harvey Everett were enjoy- > ed very much. During the evening a I two-course luncheon was served, the first course consisting of good homemade mince pie, pickles, ham sandwiches and a cup of coffee. The sec- • ond course consisted of ice cream and 1 cake. After the luncheon excellent t speches were made by the men. They ■ all voiced the same sentiment that during the five years Mr. Dowling and family were in the neighborhood they were worthy of the honor of being called good neighbors, and that a good citizen and his family were to leave them. Mr. Dowling, who has rented his farm and will move’to Decatur in the near future, expressed himself by saying that he was well pleased with the treatment received, and that* he would miss them for some time to T come. The evening's pleasure was f concluded’ by singing "God be With .. You Till We Meet Again." Those ? present were Lew Jackson.

AT HAIL TONIGHT Harold Saarer Will Si«K at Euterpean Recital at the Masinic Hall. SINGER OF NOTE Hundreds of Music Lovers Will be Glad of Chance to Hear Him. Mr. Harold Sawer. who wilt give a song recital at the Masonic hall this evening, is booked for a recital in Fort Wayne tomorrow evening at the Grace Reformed church. The Fort Wayne News says of him: “Mr. Saurer is said to possess not only voice and talent and the natural gifts of youth, but temperament and personality unusual in one of his age. His voice is a high baritone and wherever he sings the comments are most favorable. Mr. Saurer is soloist with the Sontli Side Evening club of Engle wood and he is to sing tie* leading robin the opera to be presented soon by the Chicago Amateur club.” Following hts recital in Bluffton early hi January the Bluffton News ’said: “His voice is a beautiful instrument and he plays upon it with sympathy and understanding. His singing is especially marked by beautiful 'shading, the flexibility, range and pow ■er of his voice being ample to meet the requirements of a long and varied 'program. The program imludrd all the varieties of music necessary to demonstrate his powers, from the Handel recitative with its stirring attack and the scintillating aria which followed to the simple beauty of Loch Lomond and from the sombre harmonies of Tchaikowsky to ballads of light and lifting rhythm and sentiment.” OPERATORS QUIT? (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) refused to grant the demands.’ “The average wages of the men employed in this service on this division is $4-1 per month. • “A committee compilsed of H. C. Walters of Marion and H. A. Car‘rtilchael of Charleston. 41!.. have tried to secure an audience with ttie oflicials after being refused a schedule ■A strike vote was taken and every man in the brotherhood voted to strike if the demands were not granted. ■“A committee, assisted by W. T. Brown, first vice president, of the ;O. R. T.. tried to settle the difficulty amicably, but the officials ignored their demands and the strike was de cided on only as a last resort. ; “Strike headquarters have been located at Toledo. Frankfort and St. Louis, where ample provisions have been made for the care of the strikers arid their families. Arrange mdnts have also been made with the schools to have their children enter .school that a prolonged strike will not interfere with their education. j “The union men on the connecting and cross lines and those employed on every service on this line will lend every aid possible to the strikers. , “The fiftv thousand members in.elude men on every line in this coun,try and Canada. > 'The average wages lor the same service on other lines is $«6 for the men the Clover Leaf pays $44 and SJS to the men the Clever Beat pays s6‘i. Sixty-five dollars is the highest wage .paid by the Clover Leaf and S3O is the lowest. The fact that the Clover Leaf ts in the hands of a receiver has ~o ■bearing on the controversy, as thore is no court order or law preventing men from quitting individually or collectively. The Clover Is’af has discharged several men for talking unionism.” ■ : n BLACKSMITHY MOVING G. S. Burkhead & Son are moving their blacksmith shop from the corhir of Monroe & Third to First and Madison streets, where old patrons and new, will find them nicely located. IlStfi APPLES FOR SALE.
