The ground hog certainly knew his business for there has been more winter since he saw his shadow than be fore. A day or two of spring brings forth the poet and then he has to return to the shelter of the kitchen or some other place as comfortable. One o’ th’ newest ways o’ tryin' t’ appear deep an’ thoughtful is look away off in th' distance an’ say, half regrettfully: “Well, it begins t’ look like we’ll have t’ take Mexico.” What’s become o’ th’ girl who used t’ stay at home ’cause she didn’ have hardly a thing t’ wear?—Abe Martin. Robert Ritter and wife of Albion. Ind. is here for a visit with relatives. Mrs. Ritter was formerly Miss Grace Buhler, a daughter of the late Al Buhler, of this city.

They also attended the “Heart Song Clubs” are being organized in some parts of the country, using the popular song book which this office is now putting out for five coupons and 98 cents. That such organizations furnish much pleasure is not doubted by those who have looked at the biggest song value ever offered. Mrs. Daly, wife of the state accountant, who is working here at present, had word today from Montpelier that her mother’s home was in the wake of the recent cyclone. Every window in the house was sucked out. the glass falling outside instead of inside. Luckily the rain lasted only a short time, hence the contents of the house were not damaged. Dailey & Simmons, attorneys, filed a suit today in the Adams county circuit court in which Ralph Baumgartner and two other heirs are suing the state for the recovery of. S3OO which had been paid to the state treasurer. At the time of the settlement of an estate the heirs could not be located and under the law it was paid over to the state. The suit is to recover the amount.—Bluffton Banner.
