You will soon get used to it. Hello. New Year, with your clean white pages. We hope you bring us all good fortune and better than an even break in life's battle. Let the past go and strive for the future. This is a good time to look forward. What's gone down the stream is past, but what's coining is the Im portant thing. ■■ In 11127 there were 1.652 persons arrested for drunkenness in Fort Wayne anil this year only 2,731. showing an improvement, unless as might be, they didn't happen Io tlnd them 1 all last year. With the blowing of whistles and ' the ringing of bells, the year 1928 I passed out and the New Year came I in. This is the day to start your I resolutions with a determination to t keep them. i ■ " — ——; Indianapolis has a new style bandit.

A twenty-one-year-old lad named 1 Casey from Bloomington, Illinois, is dying in a Chicago hospital as the result of attempting to hold up a restaurant proprietor who opened fire on him. Casey in the hospital said he did not own a gun and had held up two places by using his index huger ( under his overcoat, securing less than ten dollars in the two attacks. He ( no doubt feels that it was hardly , worth what he has : ffered. I hat Mrs. Northcott who admitted ' that she murdered a nine-year-old boy ‘ and got a life sentence, looks capable o! such an act, if her pictures do her justice Iler son is also under arrest and it is claimed he quenched his 1 thirst for thrills by killing a half ' dozen youngsters. This murder business for pleasure has certainly reached a high peak in history and some one ought to discover a method for putting an end to it. New faces in the court bouse, old familiar ones absent. Thats the way it goes from year to year. Those who leave office are doing so with excellent records which Is after all the worth while thing about it. To have served your county with credit is a reputation that win always be worth min h.

Knight declared in a decision in illegal trapping case. pleased. Good luck to all of you. There are still about ten property owners who have not consented to the request of the state highway com mission ‘o provide easements so the new proposed road from here to the state line east, No. 16. can be included in next years plans. This should be done this week for at any time may come changes on the commission and a consequent change of plans by that body. The smart thing to do Is to get these Improvements when we can. can. New York and Chicago put on last "wet New Years eve celebrations.'' They have been doing this regularly once a year since HHB and wi.l probably keep it up a hundred years, if there isn't the old way to do it they discover another. Always there are plenty of people silly enough to go the limit both physically and financially to make “whoopee'' on this occasion. Os course the bootleggers and the proprietors of the places where they congregate make a goodly sum out of the recklessness of the men and women who feel they have done some thing necessary and really enjoyable We feel a personal loss in the death of Ur..l. S. Coverdale. For many years we have known him intimately ami well and we always felt repaid when we counseled wilh him. He was of the old school and his good sound sense was always manifest. He practised medicine in the days of the saddle bag and was an ideal old time doctor He was progressive and took a deep Interest in the affairs of his couiity, state and nation. He will be missed by a wide circle of sincere friends who admired hint because of his real worth. There are several important projects open to the people of this community but we cannot get them just sitting around talking. They require action and the sooner we move out the sooner we become a real community In which every one has an opportunity to prosper. To begin with we feel that the completion of the work towards securing the east and west highway and the north and south toad are most important. Factories of course are wanted and we believe we will secure one or two good ones the next few weeks but nothing means more to the city than securing of good roads This is the day of travel when almost every one has a vehicle which will take him places. If you are on a paved through road some of them will stop here. We must get busy. In the passing of Fred Reppert, Sr., Adams county loses another of her pioneers, a veteran of the Civil war. a man who had served his county during two terms as a member of the board of commissioners and tn every way an excellent citizen. Mr. Reppert watched this country grow from a wilderness into one of the best farming communities of the middle west and in every way he could, helped it reach that place. He and his good wife worked through many busy years, improving their home and rearing a family of line children. Mr. Reppeit has lived a helpful life, has written u wonderful record of achievement. and leaves to his family a name untarnished by any wrongful acts. No greater legacy can any man bestow. Fought f or Liberty One hundred fifty privateers or ships of war were sent out of Salem In the Revolutionary cause. They were owned and equipped by private Individuals, not by the government.
