You will see types of the i new ideas and styles. Heating plants, that add warmth and comfort to the better home, will be shown, as well as the latset type of refrigeration, essential in summer time to the preservation of food stuffs.

She was a bundle of sunshine in the home and filled her place well. Asters a short illness she flew back to her Heavenly home to be with her Father, thus escaping the many heartaches and hardships this life has to offer. Her gain, however, is our loss. | She leaves to mourn their loss, a broken hearted father, mother, two sisters, Marcella and Pauline; one brother. Clair; two grandfathers, two grandmothers; one great-grandfather; seven uncles and four aunts. She only stayed with us one year and 29 days, but how precious those days will be In memory. They need not cease, for she still lives and awaits I our coming to a far better land. : “There is no death! The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore.

This is the lower end of the Williams or Lob ditch where the boat is now operating. the boat now being right at Limberlost creek. | It will also be necessary to remove the railroad bridge on the Pennsylvania road, a short distance east, of the bridge over the state highway. This will be done by the railroad company. The old bridge over the highway, a short distance further east- of the railroad bridge, will, it is ' understood, be torn entirely down when it is removed to let the dredge boat through. This bridge has been condemned, and a new bridge will be erected there. | So far five bridges have been removed to allow the passage of the dredge boat. There are eight bridges altogether on this drain. The bridge at state highway No. 21, is 110 feet long and the railroad bridge is about the same length. Fred Shoemaker 'of this city, has had the contract for moving and replacing all of the five bridges up to the state highway. The dredging or re-cleanlag of the Williams, or ‘Tx»b’’ ditch, was started in the fall of 1925, and unless;' something unforseen occurs, the dredging will be completed iu throe weeks or less. The ditch empties into the Wabash river just east of Geneva. The dredging started north of Polingtown. — o— Thanks To Farmers Mrs. Susie Bowen and her son. Kermit, wish to thank the farmers of St. Marys township for the. assistance ' given them in planting the oats on their farm, following the serious accident which Kermit Bowen suffered when the tractor he was driving turned over. Kermit Bowen is able to be up again, but is still unable to use his right arui because of the painful and serious burns.

MR. AND MRS. SELLEI MEYER CELEBRATE • GOLDEN WEDDING (C'ONTINI ED FROM PAGE ONE) seventy years ago. Their childhood was spent leas than three miles apart, and they attended the same public school. In their infancy, each wgg baptized into the Reformed church by the Rev. Peter Vlti, father of Henry Vitx, who later served as pastor of the Reformed church in Decatur. They were received Into the church at confirmation age by Rev. Speis. who also united them in marriage fifty yeurs ago. Time has introduced many innov- \ ations during the last fifty years. At ’ the time Mr. and Mrs. Sellemeyer were married, the usual mode of travel ' was in a big wagon drawn by two horses, and when the mud was ui«- ’ usually deep, only the rear wheels off the wagon were used. But the Sellemeyers. even in that early day. employed no such antiquated method of travel on tlwir journey to and from the Magley Reformed church on the day of their wedding. ' William Sellemeyer. a brother of the groom, theu a prosperous young farmer had just purchased one of those rare and ancient palaces ol locomotion called a buggy, ami he gladly loaned it to his brother to haul his Iwide. The thrill of riding in this ( new. elegantly painted and splendidIly upholstered, vehicle, even if the mud was hub-deep at the time and the) horses’ had to be allowed to rest at | intervals, was equal to the most startling sensations experienced by those who in these days take their ; first ride in an air ship. ' Mr. Sellemeyer. who is seventythree years of age, is the fourth child I of a family of six children, four sons 'and two daughters, all of whom arc ( still living except one daughter who died in infancy. His mother, by reason of her rugged vitality, reached the unusual age of ninety-two years. Al-i ready a sister. Mrs. Louise Reppert and a brother, William Sellemeyer, liave celebrated their golden wed-: dings. I Mrs. Sellemeyer. whose maiden' name was Elizabeth Miller is the | third child of a family of thirteen, children, nine boys and four girls, three brothers and one sister of whom are still living. I Mr. and Mrs. Sellemeyer are the parents of five children, all of whom are living except one daughter, Enima Mary, who died in infancy. Those living are, Mrs. Bertha Heuer. Mr.c Anna Vance, Miss Deila Sellemeyer. all of this city, and Mr. Albert Sellemeyer of Fort Wayne. They have also .been blesesd with three grand-child-dren. Geraldine Vance. Lee Anna ■ Vance, and Catherine Sellemeyer. but ' of these only one, Lee Anna \am ". , is still living. | Thirty-six years ago; Mr. and Mrs. Sellemeyer left their Preble townI ship farm and came to Decatur, where (they have resided ever since, and where Mr. Sellemeyer has been in the constant employment of the Kirsch and Sellemeyer Lumber -ami Coal interests, and their succesors. The guests assembled at the Sellemeyer home at the noon liintr. and

showered their felicitations and good wishes upon the honored couple. After an hour of delightful reminislences. the entire party was conducted by automobile to the O. L. Vance ievidence on North Second street, where on two l<»ng tables, a threecourse dinner was served. The principal table decorations consisted of (enterpieces of jonquils, narcteeus, and snapdragons, the beauty of wliicli was great|y enhanced by the mellow glow of golden tapers, near which stood miniature brides and grooms. The color scheme of gold was fittingly observed in the delicacies tiiat were served, as well as in the table decorations. Further decorations consisted of golden-color-ed nut-baskets which served the additional service of receptacles for and over which hung dainty golden wedding-bells. Wedding hells were also given as favors. I During the afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Sellemeyer were showered with letters and telegrams of congratulations from many near, as well as distant friends. The happy event was prolonged until late In the evening beI fore the guests departed, and when they did so. it was with a sense that the occasion ha<i not been in vain, and with a patting sincere wish that the future still held in store tor Mr. and Mis. Sellemeyer. many more joyful anniversaries. The invited guests were: Mr. and Mrs. William Sollemeyer, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Reppert, Mr. Harmon Selle
