"I consider Tanlac the grandest medicine in the world, for 1 have actually gained l!0 pounds in weight since I began taking it. It has just simply filled me with now life and energy nnd for the Irst time in years I can sit down to the table and enjoy three square meals a day like other people. In fact Tanlac has made me eat better, feel better, sleep better and work better, and I guess that's all a man can eypect of a medicine. ‘ Before I took Tanlac. 1 was off 25 pounds in weight and was so badly run down I was hardly able to do my work. Nothing seemed to agree with me and my food invariably soured on my stomach. I would always have an uncomfortable bloated up feeling in my stomach, and although I tried many kinds of medicines, I never got relief until I took Tanlac. “I also suffered considerably at times from rheumatism, but this has all disappeared, in fact, this wonderful medicine has made a new man out of me in every way. I feel years! younger and can do as much work as in any day of my life. "Os course, I am only too glad to give you my testimonial because I ■ want other people who are suffering ns I did to take this medicine and get relief.” The' above remarkable statement was made by Harry M. Allen, resid-

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ NEWS FROM COURT HOUSE ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ The case of Everett C. Arnold vs. Robert W. Glendenlng, et al„ tried by Judge Frank W. Gordon as special judge at Portland, was affirmed yesterday by the appellate court. The action was brought by the plaintiff, a banker of Genervu, to set aside a deed executed by Rachel Glendenlng to her son, Robert W., conveying to him 175 acres of land actuated five miles west of Geneva, the plaintiff alleging in his complaint that the deed was fraudulently executed. The case was filed in Adams county and a change of venue taken by the plaintiff was sent to Jay county for trial. Another change of venue was taken by the plaintiff from the presiding judge, E. E. McGriff, and Judge Gordon of this circuit court was appointed special judge, before whom the case was tried and was by him decided for the defendant, Robert W. Glendening. The plaintiff, Arnold, appealed to the appellate court and the case was again decided for the defendant by that court after an oral argument. The case is considered very important as several other case; are pending between the same parties depending upon the decision of the above case. OBITUARY Jacob Spangler, the youngest son of Samuel and Catherine Nafe Spangler, was born at Cleveland, Ohio, December 12, 1834. and died at the home of Jacob Henschen near Craigville, Ind., March 15, 1921, aged 86 years, 3 months and 3 days. As a young man he came to Indiana by wagon and located on a farm in Root township. Adams county, in 1856. In true pioneer style he cleared and improved his farm. In 1858 he was married to Margaret Recker, who preceded him in death twenty-nine years ago. To this union there were born seven children, five boys and two girls. One spn, John, died in 1894. Os the surviving children all live in Adams county except Daniel of Kendallville, and Charles of Peru, Ind. He is also survived by 15 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren. Jacob Spangler when yet a young man was converted to God in a meeting held at the Bethlehem Evangelical church in Wells county by Rev. D. S. Oakes. I He united with the Evangelical church and kept the faith until the end.

Card of Thanks. We wish to express our appreciation to the friends and neighbors who have shown us so many kind favors during the illness and funeral of our beloved father, Jacok Spangler. Also for floral tributes and music furnished for funeral. THE CHILDREN. RESIGNATION SENT IN B. A. Batson sent word to Weisell Cummings, deputy postmaster, today that he had forwarded his resignation as postmaster at Bluffton to the department at Washington, same to take effect April Ist. Mr. Batson is now on his farm in Michigan, and will spend most of his time there from this time on. Mr. Batson was appointed postmaster in December, 1913, was reappointed for a term of four years, his commission running until January 1, 1922. With the resignation of Mr. Batson the wires will be worked to a fin ish by the local republican aspirants. While Charley Vanhorn has the backing of the organization, including Congressman Vestal, the place may be thrown into an examination and in that event there will be several candidates. Inasmuch as the new administration is hardly in working order yet, Mr. Batson's resignation may not be accepted for awhile, and in case it is accepted, a temporary postmaster may be appointed. Upon the death of L. E. Roush in 1913, the office was taken over by the bondsmen, in a measure, and R. S. Todd was appointed and held the office for a couple of months. DAMAGE CASE CONTINUES The case of Joseph Sipe vs. Dr. Amos Reusser of Berne and Dr. MacBeth of Fort Wayne conitnues before Judge McGriff and jury at Portland. Mr. Sipe was on the witness stand from 9 o’clock Friday morning until 10 o’cfock Saturday pornlng; SfnS Portland papers say he withstood a rigid cross-examination remarkably well, in fact he answered the questions of opposing attorneys better during the afternoon Friday than in the morning. Mr. Sipe is in the neighborhood of seventy years old. His wife is with him in court, as are also the wives of the defendants. It is thought the case will be completed Tuesday.
