Worshipful Master and Brothers:! We. your committee would herein ' respectfully submit the following as our report on the death of our fellow citizen and beloved brother John ‘ Buhler, who departed this life in tbej early morning of the 11th of October. 1 1901. at his home in Decatur, Indiana: I Whereas. Since it is in accord with ! the plans of the Divine Ruler of the universe that his children be called one by one to that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns. we humblv accept the general lot of all mankind and say “Thy will I be d one.” Whereas. While in the vigor of youth or in the power of manhood, it is but a heart throb or a fleeting breath between the living and the dead, that in a day the silver cord be loosed or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, then shall dust return to mother earth as it was. and the spirit return to him who gave it. Therfore be it Resolved, That by the death of John Buhler the community has lost ; a useful citizen and our lodge a worthy ' brother. That his memory as a man I and as a Mason shall be cherished as one of worthy mention. That the profound sympathy of the Masonic fraternity of his acquaintance be extended to the bereaved relatives .and I family ot the deceased brother. That | these resolutions he spread upon thei lodge records and a copy of the same | be furnished the city papers for publication. J F. Snow, John H. Lenhart, O. L. Vance. Committee. Concerning Our Fair. The Adams County Fair is over and is pronounced by all to have l>een a success. The association feels grati ‘fied, Decatur is pleased, and the whole county proud of the fact. It was quite a surprise to patrons of the fair that so much could have been done after the 21st of August, the time when the organization was completed. While the time was so short and the chief “push” made by the members it seems almost every resident of the county contributed to help, and exerted the influence that each could for the advancement of

the fair’s interest. Although the membership is made up of farmers and country men, not one being what is commonly termed a “business man,” although some few of Decatur thought and perhaps still think, that Decatur ; ought to M represented in ‘its management, and although some of the county thought Decatur must be sharing in the control, simply tiecause the fair was to be held at Decatur, because of these facts a few from the various parts of the county were certain of failure. But Decatur as a whole came out and did everything in tb<-ir power to help in the way of exhibit and in fact every way possible to make up a pleasing and entertain mg diow. The country did well in bringing in their products and all, from both country and town, assuring the association that it was not for the money in it, so much as to help the f ’ir-•* ,;ig. With such an interest on the [. irt of ther community, success was sure to follow. But the first fair now being over this interest does not seem to have lost in the least degree, it even seems to have increased. Some that were not as successful as they had hoped to have been, have already expressed themselves as determined to make earlier and greater effort another year. While the effort for success made by the association was throughout the entire 1 membership and while a few of the members may have labored more zealously than others there was surely one worker that surpassed all others; one that scarcely left a stone unturned in the attempt to meet the wants of exhibitors and attendants of the fair. If he ever was seen to be seemingly idle, you might rest assured he was not only busily engaged, but had a prob lem just the more difficult to solve.

However, there was no “let up” until he had the key. This “wheel horse” referred to is the present president, George Tricker. The election of new officers soon to take place will surely put the same man at the head of its affairs. * * Dr. H. E. Keller, Decatur’s up-to-date physician has added to his already well equipped office a Gawne’s Static Generator, for electrical treatment.
