Flanders & Mills have decorated our streets with a new delivery wagon ai d it is a beauty. Chas. Hammond and wife of Huntington, spent Sumiay in the city, the guests of J. W. I'dace and wife. Frank Bart hoi went to Fort Wayne last Monday to undergo an operation at Hope hospital. Should the operation prove successful it will necessi t ite his remaining in the hospital for at least six week*. Sol Mosser \ Co., of Hartford township, are agents for the new Truss wire fence, which is an improv ment over any patent fence in the market. It is durable, strong and will hold any kind of stock from a setting hen to a measly elm-peeler. It looks well and will last for time immemorial. Township rights are being sold at very reasonable figures. Communicate with them at Geneva; No clew has yet been discovered regarding the court house robbery, and the burglars whoever they may be, have carefully burned the bridges behind them, and will probably escape detection. Home talent is unI doubtedly responsible for this act, and the nerve displayed on this orca 1 sion leads us to believe that the I burglars will continue to show their nerve, and unless they are caught, we 1 may expect to see people held up and relieved of their valuables in broad day light Bicycle riders should provide themselves with bells, and use them day and night. They should also be careful about scorching after dark, and by all means use their bells. The measly little ' tire fly lanteriis are no I protection to people crossing the | streets unless they face them. When I the bicycle slips up from behind/with its silent tread, the lantern gives no warning and pedestrians are apt to find themse ves unceremoniously tossed in the gutter. Boys, use the | bells. ' Early Monday morning lire broke out in one of the dry houses belonging to John W. Yail and was entirely consumed. Owing to tiie inflammable material and the peculiar arrangement ■ of the contents of the building, the L firm depart ment could not make much headway in extinguishing the-flames. They labored incessantly all of Mbn1 day forenoon to put out-the tire, and ; the dense smoke made their work very difficult. Mr. Yail has been un1 fortunate in the way of tires, for the I past few mmiths. having had five or ■ six in his factories’apd outbuildings, j None of them have resulted in much 1 of a tire however, and in this respect the has been fortunate. ' The Pereheron Horse Breeding Co. I was organized last Thursday at ' Preble, Ind. The members of the company are among the represents five farmers .of Adams county, and the organization has for its intention the improvement and betterment of draft horses. The constantly increasing price and demand for this class of horses, has made it a profitable industry, and the new company will earnestly endeavor to interest the horse raisers of Adams and adjoining counties in improving the class of horses raised. The following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: Henry Holbrok, president; Sam Houck, secretary and manager; David Steel,treasurer. The board of directors is composed of the following well knownfarmers: Sam Houck, Herman Reiter and Dan Beiberick.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Harding of Ft j Wayne, attended the dedication of the new M. E. church last Sunday. In an address before the farmers' institute at Springfield, 111., F. J. Beery, the Chicago horse ahictioneer, elassi• fled horses suitable for foreign trade as follows: 1.

X -U! . Obituary. Eliza Ann Brownell was born at Jervis, New York. December 24, 1844, and died at Chicago, Illinois, April 12, 1897, aged 52 years, 3 months and 18 days. Upon the 26th of October. 1863, she was married to James Waldron. This union has been blessed with three children, one of whom in infancy passed to the other world. Mrs. Waldron was a member of the Protestant Episcopal church, her membership beingf'at Suspension Bridge, New York. She was a forceful woman, a loving mother, a devoted wife. She had high ideals and was anxious to carry them out. Her sudden departure has presented the most difficult problem that has yet con; fronted the h me. In company with a lady friend she. attended the First Baptist church in Chicago, last Sunday evening. She engaged earnestly in the service. Returning home the family retired she to be awakened during the night with terrible suffering. Arising she attempted to go to another part of the houSe but fell on the way. She became at once unconscious and in a few hours her spirit took its departure. . From the program of the services she last attended we glean': “I will praise Thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will show forth all Thy marvelous works.” “Come to the Light, ’tis shining for thee, sweetly the Light has dawned, upon me, once I was blind, but now I can see: The Light of the world is Jesus.” Upon Wednesday the sorrowing husband and son brought their previous clay to Decatur and upon the following day funeral services were held at the home of the only daughter, Mrs. Charles Niblick, conducted by ; Rev. E. T. Gregg, of the M. E. church. Interment at Maplewood. We sincerely thank our many friends, and especially the Knights of Pythias and choir, for the kindness shown during the burial of our be- | loved wife and mother. J A. Waldron and Son, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Niblick.
