Mrs. Charles K. Bell is the guest of Miss Cora Shaekley, at Alexander for a few days. She will be absent about two weeks and will also visit with Rev. G. B. Work and family at Dunkirk. The following marriages licenses have been issued du ring the past weekHenry H. Burris to Bertie May Fitts Harry W. Welch to Mamie Bell Hav’ Win. B. Martz to Viola M. Brandyberry. George W. Robbins, of Winchester, traveling representative for the Ohio Rake Company, was calling on the trade here Tuesday, and of course went away with several orders to the good. William Reed of Chicago, formerly aisietant editor of this paper, was in the city a tew hours Monday evening on his way to Geneva, where he was called on account of the death of his aged father. By motion given bv Secretary Schirmeyer, the German Buildingand Loan Fund Association will hold their annual election of eleven directors at the office of the secretarv Monday, April 9. John Moran and Frank Foreman of Berne, were in the city yesterday, the former on legal business of course and the latter trying to secure a little more knowledge concerning the Red Men's order. John Colchin, the restaurant proprietor, is wearing a bandage about his head this week on account of a mean little troublesome stye in his right eye. John says the tiling is a blamed nuisance. Eli Bricher, past three score years and ten, died at the county farm Thursday night and was buried Friday afternoon. Rev. Kruse conducting the services. Mr. Bricker was for many years a resident of Linn Grove. Dr. A. L. DeVilbiss is still quite ill and unable to be about. He was much improved the latter part of the week, but he suffered a slight relapse. He expects to go to West Baden Springs as soon as he can travel. The wedding of Mr. Sam Work to Miss McDaniel at Dunkirk Wednesday evening of last week was decidedly the social event of Dunkirk society. It is said that fully three hundred guests were in attendance. The presents were many and valuable. The life of Uncle Jonathan Fleming is hanging in the balance and he can perhaps live but a few day. He has been suffering from Bright's disease all winter which has about reached its last stages. Nearly every inhabitant of Adams county knows Mr. Fleming and there will be genuine sorrow expressed when his physical condition becomes known.

Rev. Sheldon’s paper is considered a failure, it seems, by the American public, as a whole. Last Sunday’s Chicago Herald charges the editor with blasphemy for attempting to imitate Jesus, which could have been , done only by the performance of a , miracle. . Rev. Ralph C. Jones, of Hoagland, . will deliver a lecture at the Mt. Pleasant church in Root township, on tomorrow, Fri lay, evening. The subject is “The wonders of creation, , science and the Bible.” Rev. Jones , is a very clever speaker, and upon this occasion will no doubt entertain and please his audience. Local contractors are sharpening their pencils preparatory to bidding oa the infirmary building, which will . be let by public contract on April 24. . Much spirited competition is promis- , ed. as the contract is one that means work and plenty of it. We hope to see home production successful, as they are more deserving in a case like this. H. A. Fristoe, with a clean, new and up-to-date stock of tobaccos, cigars and chewing gum and John Fetzer with a large number of handsome 1900 make bicycles, opened their store in the Allison block, first , door north of the postoffice Tuesday . morning. The boys nave a nice looking establishment and will no doubt enjoy a good patronage. Yesterday Architect Keublecameover from Bluffton and filed the plans and specifications for Adams county’s new infirmary buildings. The commissioners met at one o’clock and agreed to receive bids on the same Tuesday, April 23, and a notice signed by them will be found elsewhere in our legal columns. The plans met with the approval of the board of state charities, who commended them in every particular. The building will call many contractors who will want to have a finger in its construction. Johnny Dibble, five-years old son of Frank Dibble, was badly injured last Thursday afternoon by the carelessness of some older boys who should have have known better. Johnny and Fred Chronister, a little chum, were going past the heading factory, when some young men stopped them and coaxed the little fellows to carry heading for them, offering a penny for their services. The boys accepted the offer and went to work, but had made but a few trips when one of the stacks of heading fell over, catching Johnny and burying him in the pile of lumber. When taken out it was found that his left leg had been badly broken within three inches of the hip. He was carried home and is being tender■ly cared for, but the accident may \ make him a cripple for life, as the fracture is too near the hip to use ■ plaster paris and the little fellow has I to be watched constantly.

A minister in a town not a thousand miles away, on a recent Sunday surprised his audience by reading the following announcement from the pulpit: “The regular session of the Donkey club will be held as usual after the services. Members will line up just outside of the church door, making remarks and stare at the ladies who pass, as is the custom. Any member known to escort a lady to church like a man, and sit with her like a gentleman, will be promptly expelled from membership.” The application was to the point and the effect was marvelous. Dick Townsend is more enthusiastic than ever over his investment in the Georgia gold mining fields. Long newspaper interviews in the Toledo dailies certainly place it in a very enviable light. Stock that was originally purchased for twenty cents a share is now selling for seventy-five cents. The company has spent some thing like §340,000 in improvements and will soon be ready for operation, and then the true test will come. A 120-stamp mill is nearly completed, and then stock in the concern will reach its true value, whatever it may be. In Toledo alone there are 200 stockholders, and they all seem impressed with the security of their holding, and think that it will be but a short intervention of time until they will all be millionaires, real and genuine. ■Attention, Democrats There will be a primary election held in each of the various Wards of the city of Decatur, on Tuesday, April 10th, 1900. from 2 o’clock to ,8 o’clock p. m., for the purpose of placing in nomination one candidate for city councilman for each of said wards, to be voted for at the general election in May. There will be one voting place in each ward. Ed. Coffee, Sec’y Committee.
