Archie Nachtrieb who has himself popular with Decatur pXffi triebl F tW ,?- year 'l cl <*kshi P affih SatJrdav fnr * i Store left hwt MichSn f AH hu, t le at Hudswi - Michigan. After a short visit with Jnends he will enter college at Ada l ai ? r Cla * k /T BB at Van t.h e latter part of last week to attend the funeral services of his uncle Mr Gal viu who died there Wednesday of bulX’d. James and H. H. Foreman two of Blue Creek township’s best democrats were in the city Tuesday. Each took tune between sweats to drop a dollar in the Democrat slot, for a year's advance on Adams county news. The boys are comfortably located on Blue Creek township farms and ought to feel as independent as the bears of Wall street. George Maddy arrived in the city Sunday evening and is now enjoying himself by looking up old friends and shaking their hands nearly off. He will enjoy the company of Mrs. Maddy and other friends here about two weeks, when he will return to Washington, D. C., where he is employed as an assistant in the United States census department. The bans of marriage of Miss Ella Touhey to Mr. P. J. Hyland were announced from the St. Marys Catholic church last Sunday morning and the happy ceremony will no doubt take place e re a month has rolled awav, although we have not yet been officially notified of same. Both are too popular for an introduction from our hands, and we can simply wish them many years of wedded bliss. We are in receipt of another letter from our old friend Bob Ehinger, now with the Manila boys in blue as a United States soldier and same may be found in another column. Boh always was ono of thoso fellows who looks upon the bright side of life and even in the wilds of the Phillipines finds many things of interest, which he tells in a happy manner. He also sends us a copy of the Manilla Freedom, a daily printed for the Americans in that country. W illiam Adler of Monroe township, called yesterday afternoon and after introducing us to’ his new Bryan hand grip, whereby we nearly 'lost our right hand, he proceeded to make himself good for another year’s visit from the Democrat. William is oneof the best farmers of the county, and has certainly broken the records with his oats crop this year. He informs us that he has just finished threshing 2,100 bushels of that grain as the result of a thirty-five acre patch.—not so bad. we guess.

e Mr. and Mrs. George M. Tyndall e returned home yesterday from Northqjp Michigan where they t have bAen making their home during i, the past two years. They have sold li their farm and will probably locate in , this county. New cases filed this week in the e Adams circuit court are Charles M. e and Elizabeth France vs Peter Bear, et al., suit to quiet title. N. Blacks burn vs Henry H. Foreman, adm’r, s claim $3.96. John M. Holloway vs b Sam Solduer, adm’r, claim $152. i Hezekiah Lambert vs Rozella Lambert, divorce. Egene Christen vs j John B. Holthouse, acct., $25. Ella Johns vs Michael Johns, divorce. ( Carter’s new Fast Mail was pror duced at Bosse’s opera house last evening in a very creditable manner, the scenic effects being the best ever seen here. Their ecene of Niagara , Falls, the flying express, steamer St. Louis and moving freight train were simply splendid, while the specialties , were far above the average. The play - was well attended and everyone was | highly pleased. Miss Grace Bottenberg has the dis- } tinction of being the only lady ever admitted to the Adams county bar. I Her petition for same was presented by Attorney Beattv Monday morning and a committee consisting of Messrs. J. T. Merryman, R. K Erwin and i Schafer Peterson was appointed by . the court to conduct the examination. . Their report showed her to be duly j qualified and her name was accords ingly added to the list of attorneys, j Miss Bottenberg has been a law student in Mr. Beatty’s office for several years during which time she has devoted herself assiduously. She is . well versed in the doctrines and will immediately begin the practice, although she has not definitely decided r whether she will remain here or locate ■’ I elsewhere. ’ r ? The annual election of directors of . the Citizens Telephone Company, , I was scheduled to take place Monday ] i evening, but the absence ot a quorum s forbid the election, so under all rudaj I merits of law the old board of directj ore are doomed to remain in charge , of the company’s business for another . year. The present board is composed of James T. Merryman, John D. Hale, F. M. Schirm’eyer, Jeff Bryson and . E. X. Ehinger. During the past year j the company has shown unusual proi) gression, having built miles of toll r lines, establisned a number of toll ? | stations, built a plant with twentyt | six telephones at Berne, added somef thing like 100 telephones to the exi change in this city, and otherwise eni larged and improved the plant. The i exceptional business ability as dis J plaved by the present directors and officers is responsible for the ■ good t standing of the company and the prosperous business they now enjoy
