Wallace’s Great Combined Shows are coming to town September 2. The date falls on Monday and means the big aggregation will Sundav with us. The following letters to be advertised: Mrs. Ada Rowe, Mrs. Sadie Myers, A. M. Daniels, Cleff Heath, John Brown, E. H. Meinder. Miss' ('aroline Keife, Herman Shrame. Work at the county infirmiry is i progressing at a rapid pace, under I the skillful management of Contrac-1 tor Calvin Miller. The weather is I showing a better disposition to per- ! mit workmen to devote ten hours a | day to their line of trade. Thomas J. Cloud was in the citv yesterday and called upon uspleasant'ly. He is the same jolly gentleman as when a resident here and has been busy greeting his many friends. During the past three years or more Tom has been superintending a large stock farm near Landess, Indiana and has been prospering. The farm is owned by E. W. Creviston and is the best in central Indiana. Dr. J. B. Evans was on the street this morning wearing an overcoat. It was the one that cost him $175, minus $75 discount, in Decatur last summer and he wants to get full benefit of it. —Bluffton News. Doe Evens like the unusual run of Blufftonians looses fifteen cents and the amount at once swells to $175. Doc should employ idle moments in perusing the latest edition from the mighty pen of Rev. Miller instead of crying around like a two year old child over the possible supposition that he was touched to the tune of $175.

Chris. Ha'W, of Brownston, Ind., came in last night looking prosperous and happy. He was on his way to Monroe where he has been called to attend to business of importance. Mr. and Mrs. George Ulmer will leave in a few days for New York where they expect to make their future i home. Mr. Ulmer will go into busiI ness there, arrangements having ali ready been partially made. Mrs. Charles Smitley, who has . been ill for a long time with consumpi tion, died at twelve o’clock last night, i She was about thirty-five years of age and well known over the county. Some time ago she was taken south with the hope that her health might improve, but she grew’ worse and a few’ mouths ago was brought back that the end might come among her loved ones. Her husband has been a faithful companion and attendant throughout her long illness and has the sympathy of all. No funeral arrangements have been made yet. David Studabaker of Decatur, was in town Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Studabaker informs us that for his part of oil production in May from 5 wells on his farm northeast of town, he got 500 barrels, during the month of June it run 300 barrels. He now has two more wells from which to draw’ and this may bring the production up to the former figures. Geneva Herald. As Mr.Studabaker’s real and’ personal holdings are easily figured in excess of $500,000, we hardly expect the shortage in his June supply of crude oil to seriously effect his credit or financial standing.
