JOHN STEELE, Trustee. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 2nd day of August, 1898. NOAH MANGOLD. Auditor Adams County. Adams County Teachers’ Institute. The annual session of the Adams County Teachers’ Institute, will convene in the Presbyterian church, in Decatur, Indiana, on Monday, August 22,1898, at 10: a. m. The indications are that the session will not only be interesting but profitable, as good instructors have been secured. Bernard Bigsby A. M. of Detroit, Michigan, will give instruction in language, psychology and child study. Mr. Bigsby is author of many educational works. Prof. L. W. Fairfield of the TriState Normal College of Angola, Indiana, will give instruction in history and literature. Prof. Arthur L. Mason of Columbus, Indiana, has been secured as musical director. J. S. Boyers, A. 8., M. D., of Decatur, Indiana, has consented to give a lesson on the subject, “How School Work Produces Near Sightedness.” This is a timely subject, and all should hear it. On Monday evening the audience will be entertained by Henry Lankenau, O. L. Vance, Wesley Hoffman, (The Boy Orator,) and the Mandolin Club. Mr. Lankenau will tell about “The Battle of Gettysburg” the fighting at “Devils Den,” and the grand charge made by the Confederates. On Tuesday evening Prof. L. W. Fairfield will lecture on the subject, “Some Studies in Life.” On Wednesday evening Bernard Bigsby A. M.. will deliver a lecture on the subject, “Thomas Arnold.” On Thursday evening Prof. Frank A. Morgan, of LaPorte, Indiana, will give a lecture on the subject, “Breaking the Record.” Mr. Morgan says: “Please do not allow my being a stranger to prevent you from attending. It is wholly unnecessary to do so. One of the largest audiences I have had was in a city where I was known to but one man, and he left town the very day I arrived. I know not how many were afterwards sorry they had not done the same.” All lectures will be given in the Presbyterian church and free to all except on Thursday evening. For this lecture a small admission fee will be charged to help defray expenses. A cordial invitation is extended to all, especially to all those who are interested, anil wish to keep in touch with the educational spirit. If you cannot attend the entire session, attend part of the session at least. You are welcome at any time. Undoubtedly all teachers, prospective teachers and the various school officials of Adams county will be in attendance. An Institute Daily will be published, also the names of all members, with the number of days each was in attendance. Will your name be recorded? You cannot afford to be absent. Trusting we may have a pleasant, profitable and successful session, I remain, Yours very truly, 21-2 Irvin Brandyberry, Co. Supt. Ringling Bros.’ Parade. Almost every exchange that reaches this office has something flattering to say of the wonderful arenic exhibition which Ringling Bros., America’s most famous amusement purveyors, are presenting to the public this season, and particularly of the new and novel free street parade which these progressive managers have organized for the present season. Ringling Bros.’ magnificent street display is a veritable carnival, presenting thirty distinct and separate sections a series of pictures, events, national characteristics, ethnologic divisions and historic eras, each of which is complete in itself, and yet socarefully and beautifully blended as to form a continuous two-mileline of ever changing color and brilliancy. The costumes are so arranged, and the varicolored dens, cages and tableaux are so distributed as to create a most effective aud harmonious scheme of color.
