It is reported now that Ringling Brothers have taken over five more of the larger circuses and will operate all under one tent which will about finish this line of business so far as the small cities are concerned. C. D. Waggoner who pulled a fast i one on the eastern financiers for a half million says he did it to save his old home town which is as good an excuse as a fellow could have to go wrong if there is one, but there isn’t. One of the interesting places in . connection with the Street Fair this week is the flower show In the base- - ment of the Christian church where you will be amazed at the display of beautiful flowers in season and green hodse exhibits. Take a look. • • —— When we can raise such fruit as is • • displayed this week, such flowers as _ are in the show, such live stock and . such grain, when we can produce \ such articles as are shown in the ” home display, looks as though we ought to all be happy and prosperous ' • if we work it right. ** The fruit display in the old laundry building on South Second ’street is _ -4. .. worth an hour of your time* if- you are interested in finding out that as aw# fine fruit as can be found any where in the world is being raised in good old Adams county. Don't miss it in _ your walks. • i 11 They are predicting a gasoline • • price war, in fact its already on the — in the east and threatens to spread through the middle west soon, as the result of a scrap between the Standard and the Shell companies which , will be temporarily a good thing for the car owners but will probably ' t eventually result in prices high enough to make us pay the bill. Os course every body is having a , great time this week but we doubt if there has been or will be a bunch ", to do a better job of it in the same length of time than the old settlers who gathered near the court house yesterday afternoon. They talked « over the good old days of the yesteryear as well as the better ones now and enjoyed evdry minute of an interesting program. Its really a good street fair and the boys of Adams Post are entitled to all the nice things you can think of to . say to them We are informed by competent judges that the exhibits ' . here are superior to those seen in any couilty fair hereabouts and equal in many departments to the state lair. The tree acts are wonder fin and -" if you can't get a thrill out of them there is something wrong with your • nerves. Its a real event and you can make whoopee in Decatur this week without half trying. Tears of genuine joy and happiness wore shed by many yesterday when Rev. Brown, 90, oldest man to attend the fair gave his "God bless you” to ‘_2 the hundreds who attended the Old Settler's meeting. His words were ' " wise and well chosen and this added to the program which included the presentation of Mrs. Stephenson, 95, ■ and Mr. and Mrs. Martz who have — lived together as man and wife for sixty years without a harsh word, made two hours that thrilled those present. It was a high spot of the

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Rockford, 111. — < U.R> — A sweet tooth burglar made away with a carload of sugar valued at 11,360. property of the Illinois Central i railroad here recently. II I 1 week. We have received and read with I unusual interest the initial number of i the Dally Sentinel published at New I Lexington. Ohio. James R. Blair, former city editor of the Daily Democrat is the editor and associated with him are T. P. Schrleber, business manager and Paul Mace, production manager. Mrs. Blair's name heads the social column. The first paper was a snappy one, splendidly supported by the business men of that section in fourteen pages filled with live news and excellent features. We congratulate the publishers on their splendid start and predict for them a whirlwind success that will establish a new record in successful newspaper publishing. We hope that every one of our readers will carefully peruse the address given at the Old Settlers meeting by Judge James Moran, of Portland, former resident of Adams county. He told of the trials and the troubles of those pioneers, God bless them, who fought the battles of three score years ago and who saw this great middlewest teritory grow into one of the Edens of the world. He told of the modern methods and changes and uttered the hope that we all have that the farms that produce our wealth and many of our greatest citizens will soon again come into its own. Read and think over this address with care. It is worth your time. o

Fort Wayne on Friday and Saturday, Sept 20 and 21 with a matinee on Saturday, for never In the history of the theatre has a play come to town with advance reports so positive that "Dracula - ’ will cause the most hardened of the "now show MU" kind, to shudder and shiver in their seats. For four years this play has been thrilling England and is still playing. It was the outstanding hit in NewYork at the Fulton Theatre and Blackstone, Chicago, where the capacity audiences found the two hours of horror, surprises and thrills very entertaining. Imagine “Dracula.'' a restless, roaming spirit that in human form infested the countryside 'from midnight until dawn and casting forth the ominous warning of his coming and leaving terror and moaning mortals in his wake, he fastens his pale lips to the throats of sensitive girls and draws them to him with menacing hypnotism to a frightful doom. The American version of "Dracula” was made for Mr. Liveright by John Balderson. from Bram Stoker’s novel of the same name which has been read by two generations of story readers —and is still listed as one of the largest sellers, tho' it is more than 30 years since it was first published. The company to be seen in Fort Wayne is the same which played New York. Chicago, Philadlephia and Boston.
