Boys, you will keep on too long. To-night (Friday) will probably be the last of the literary. A good entertainment-to-night. Don’t miss it. Jim Kessler is out in the country this week playing farmer. It seems somebody took exceptions to what was said in the Pleasant Valley items in regard to those who went away with the I quack doctor from Monroe.

F. boys left here Wednesday morning for Fort Wayne to attend the district meeting of that order. On last Friday was tile day fixed for the committee on County Fair to meet at the court house in Decatur. Each township has two members on said committee, Messrs. David Eckoate and Alex. Bolds being the members for this township. Our members arrived at appointed place on time, and found the room locked. On the plan of misery loves company, they went to look for other members, and found two more on the street, one from Blue Creek and one to represent Union township. The quartette formed themselves into an assembly and they whereased and they resolved, and among their resolutions will be found the following: “That inasmuch as Decatur, and- Washington township and the townships laying around and about and adjacant thereto, have no collective interest in a county exposition: we. the members have assembled from the rural districts, will expose ourselves and declare the location of the Adams County Fair in favor of Berne.” It was as thunder from a clear sky to Berne, when they first heard this earthly resolve, but she was up at six in the morning enthusing all the day with the grip on the Fair, and unless Decatur rallies her interest and buys out the resolutions in favor of Berne, the grip she holds will by and by liecome a corner. a w
