MONROE NEWS : — N John Shirk, clerk ut the Teuple At I Peterson clothing store, In Decatur, t arrived here Thursday evening on ac- i count of Illness. Miss Rena Noffsinger returned from' tin extended visit with her sister, Mrs. | 11. D. Ostertnun and family in Port Wayne. Mr. John Yeoman, while here Thursday, reported that Ills daughter, Murlon, who was accidently shot In the light eye a short time ago, is getting along tine. The revival meetings at the M. E. church are still in progress and are attracting large crowds. Word was received here Thursday from Wyoming, announcing the marriage of Mr. Dan Adlsr. son of Mr. and Mrs. Will Adler, living west of town, and Miss Adler, living west of town, and Miss Hocker, Berne. The young people are both well-known here, Miss Hocker having formerly taught school ■ at this placa, ami both have many warm friends here who extend congratulations and best wishes. A deal was closed Tuesday night whereby the town of Monroe, through its board of trustees, became owners of the W. 0. Newton property, which will at once be converted into a county chamber, fire engine room and a storage room. The Monroe Partners’ Institute will lie held in the auditorium In the school house on Wednesday, January 24.. This promises to be one of the best ever held by the Institute. In addition a t orn show will also be held, a fullblooded lluroe pig will lie given as the first prize on corn, which should be a great inducement to corn raisers to endeavor to win. Prominent speakers have been secured, plenty of music, and an interestihg debate are booked for the evening's entertainment. Be ready to attend the Institute and corn show, and don't forget the day and date, Wednesday, January 24. Now that the town owns its own building it would be a wise and proper step to organize a volunteer fire department to protect our citizens from tires. We have a good tire engine and as several of our best young men have agreed to volunteer in the service, no doubt we will within a few days have an up-to-date fire fighting company. There will he a meeting held at the Monroe State bank on Monday night for that purpose. -v Word was received here by ralsUums anontincing the marriage of Mr. James Johnson, son of Ttomas Johnson, formerly of this place, to Miss Cora

They transacted an . amount of important business, among . which was the re-appointment of Hobt. , A. Andrews as town Marshal for the ensuing year, tVc same to be under contract. After some minor business which came, before the board, the proposition of imrehasing the W. O. Nowlon building, on West Jackson street, just west of the G. R. & I. railway tracks, was taken up. Mr. R. S. Shirk represented the interest of Mr. Newlon. After some consideration as (o what the price asked, the board made an offer of SI,OOO which was accepted by Mr. Shirk, and the deal was closed. Work of remodeling the building will begin at once. A runway from the road will be bought. i double doors placed in the tire engine room, and furniture placed in the front room to be used for the council chamber. This is thought to be a I good investment., as the town has j been for many years paying rent for | I rooms to hold their meetings and for j housing their fire apparatus, and will r soon realize the amount paid out. SCALP TONIC MADE HERE 'H. F, Callow, Druggist, Developes New Tonic For Scalp Treatment I In yesterday's paper we carried a display advertisement concerning i Kekionga scalp tonic, an article manufactured in Deatur and meeting th'-: aenerai approval of the public. It is ! (he development of an idea of Mr. 11. I F. Callow, the well known druggist, j who for more than a score of years I has been studying the causes of scalp troubles, dandruff, failing hair and ■ baldness. A year ago a relative noticed that j her hair was rapidly thining and urg-1 cd Mr. Callow to secure a remedy. I This renewed his efforts with the result that lie now has what is consid-1 ored by many as the finest remedy on! the market, it is an anti-septic instead of a tonic and cures the cause rather titan relieves temporarily. It 1 is put up by the Kekionga Scalp' Tonic Company uud is sold under a 1 guarantee. The package is attrac-’, five anti the splendid results from I

. those using the tonic has caused Mi | Callow to become quite enthusiasts I about his new remedy. It is not a i hair dye or hair oil but structly a| treatment ahd if Mr. Callow had the financial backing with which to make a national campaign there is no doubt that he could build a wonderful j business and institution. In the meantime those who live ' here and who desire scalp treatment should investigate. One lady gives testimony that within u few inontbs by using Kekionga her hair has' grown several inches and is twice ns thick. Mr. Callow has evidently j struck the right theory of scalp ' treatment instead of irritating tonic and should do a splendid business with the preparation. Girl Carried Small Bolt In Nasal Cavity North Manchester, Jan. 6- For 1 near!.- three weeks the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Delauter, of North Manchester carried a small iron holt in her naval cavity. Her parents finally noticed that she was suf lering great pain and summoned a I physician, who discovered the bolt : pushed far back in the nose, and rei moved it.
