Mesdames John Weber, Charles S. Niblick and James K. Niblick, entertained a large number of their friends last evening at the home of the latter on Second street. Cards and other games were indulged in and excellent refreshments served. A number of young folks were pleasantly entertained at the handsome home of Miss Mary Meyers on Fifth street last Friday evening. The event was given in honor of Miss Bessie Colricks, of Ft. Wayne who is the guest of her friends here for a few days. Several persons who were members of some of the old polo teams, are threatening to revive the roller skating craze. A skating rink is the only thing necessaiy to start the fever. In various Indiana and Ohio cities the roller skate hasagaiu come in fashion. Muncie Times. By a notice elsewhere from Auditor Mangold it will be seen that on Thursday, January 5, the board of commissioners will receive bids upon the construction of the Monroe and J. H. Lenhart macadamized roads. The plans and specifications call for macadam and that is what bids will be received upon.

Miss Lizzie Wolford, daughter of John Wolford of this city, and Prof. Kizer, of Linn Grove, will be married this evening at six o’clock at the home of the bride’s parents. John Shade died at the home of Mr. Lang’s, west of the city, last Sunday, of consumption. He had been a sufferer for several months. Funeral services were held from the St. Mary's Catholic ekurch Wednesday morning. Interment at the St. Joseph cemetery. There is one “Best.” There are lots of pretty fair and good crackers on the market, but there is but one “best.” Fox’s XXXX square Wafer Butter Crackers are just a little better than the very best of other bakers, but that is worth remembering when you order the best crackers. R. B. Allison and J. T. Merryman were at Fort Wayne yesterday attending a session of the Scottish Rite. The latter responded to a toast at the banquet last night and we are informed that Tom not only added charm to the occasion but won laurels for himself as an entertaining after dinner speaker. George Flanders has made some records this week in bringing in game. He has been out every day and always returns with a string he can scarcely carry. On Tuesday he was out about four hours and returned with twelve quail and five wild ducks. We imagine George and his neighbors have lived high this week. John Hower, a pioneer citizen of Kirkland township died at his home Tuesday evening at 9 o’clock of blights disease. His wife and a large family of children are left to mourn his loss. The funeral services will be held from the M. E. church in this city at one o'clock this afternoon, Rev. Daniels officiating. In Marion county it is estimated there were at least I.sooballots t hrown out on account of the manner in which they were prepared by the voter. As the Valparaiso Vidette truly says, There are many thousands of votes lost in the state through mistakes at every election, which emphasizes the necessity of the parties conducting regular schools of instruction during the campaign.” The Miami County Sentinel tells of a serious acciden* which befell Mr. A. H. Gregg, of that city, a few evenings ago. Mr. Gregg is the father of Rev. E. T. Gregg, former pastor of the M. E. church of this city. He was going up stairs when he slipped and fell backwards, striking his head upon the steps. His condition is considered very serious and may prove fatal. Corn buskers are said to be in great demand among the farmers just now. The yield this year is an enormous one and now that the cribbing season has arrived, farm hands who are nimble with husking pegs can make $1.50 per day from dawn till sundown, and then enjoy two hours by the warm fire after supper in making finger stalls for the next day's engagement with the down row and nimble nubbins.

The commissioners and engineer ■ were over the entire line of the Deca--11 nr & Bluffton gravel road Monday, which is now completed. From what we learn the board are highly pleased with the road and found it fullfilling the original plans and specifications in every particular. It is undoubtedly a good road and with the proper care will last until Gaberiel blows his horn. Much credit is due Calvin Miller A Co. as they have ' seemingly endeavored to fulfill their contract, in giving what they proposed | a good macadamized road. The peo- ' pie all along the line of the road may now come to town at any season of the year without fear of being held up in mud and with a knowledge that they can return home the same day. ' The board white in session Tuesday | settled the tenth estimate with the contractors, leaving but a slight balance yet due them.

Report of the Gravel Road Lately Built East of the City. Below we hand you a report of the one mile of gravel road constructed during the past few months, just east of the city, on what has always been said to be one of the worst roads in the county. The work was commenced on September 27, and was finished November 5. During that time there was two heavy rains which retarded the building of the road several days. The total cost of the road is a little less than §1,400. The expense of buying the gravel and of paying part of the workmen was paid by the township trustee, while the hauling of the gravel and grading on the road was paid for by donations of either cash or labor by citizens of the county who felt an interest in the building of such a road. The following is the names of citizens who donated to this cause and the amounts given by each: George Trieker, §91.44); W. C. Fronfield. §83.73; David Studabaker, §70.45; Davis Dailey, §46-66; Kern, Brittson & Beeler, S4O: Washington Steele, §28.61; John Frisinger, §25.50; Ashbaucher & Bell, §25; Old Adams County Bank, §25; Willard Steele, §22.65; George Zimmerman, §19.14; F.
