Never before in the history of Adams county has there be itry show carried on .i ich access and the memo t ie Ad ms County Association > t! proud of their achievement, a i >■ fee' assured that their efa !; •! highly appreciated by y ci izen n Decatur. The associa ion is m de up of mostly farmers, bo hive devoted their time in not only bringing their poultry to the show- but by staying here and mateially as isting in making the show b succe s it was. That they have made 9 grand record for themselves in their 1908 show goes without argument, and we trust that their success this year will only make them trive harder for a bigger and better '■ vw next year. Every exhibitor e°ent vas paid their premium in full, if they h’d anything coming, and all left with nothing but the kindof feeling toward the association, and each and every one expressed th mselve as fully expecting to reurn next season. Not a thing occurred during the entire four days of the show to m’r any of the proceedings, and as stated before, everything passed along smoothly and with success. The officers on Friday afternoon completed their task of figuring out the winn rs in the special events and accordingly awarded the prizes ottered The following is a complete list of all winners:

E. church of Bluffton a woman was elected Wednesday night at a congregational meeting as lay delegate to the annual M. E. confer-

ence for Northern Indiana, which will ' be held at Anderson in April. The honor of being the first Bluffton woman elected to that place is Miss Nellie Mason, who w’as elected at a popular election at which there were three names placed in nomination, namely Miss Mason, A. B. Cline and P. A. Allen. After these three candidates were entered by nomination it was voted that the candidate receiving th e majority of the votes on the first ballot should be the delegate, and the candidate receiving the second largest vote should be the alternate, Miss Mason received 24 votes, Mr. Cline 14 and Mr. Allen 11—Bluffton News. oWITNESSES MOTHER IS DEAD. Caused Delay of the LeMay Case Here Yesterday. The case against Charles LeMay, . charged with criminal assault was set for trial today at Decatur, but ! Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Charles G. Dailey went to that city on the noon train for the purpose of asking Judge Merryman for a continuance of the case, and under the circumstances a continuance is sure to be granted. The reason that it was necessary to ask for such a step is that one of the most important witnesses Mrs. William McConnell, is unable to go to Decatur on account of the dangerous sickness of her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Boden. The latter has

been gradually failing for several flays and this morning all hope for her recovery was abandoned. She was lying at her home today in an unconscious condition at the time her daughter would have had to go to .Decatur, and she passed away about noon —Bluffton News. o RECEIVES COPY OF NEW BOOK Mrs. C. A. Dugan Has Copy of “At the Foot of the Rainbow.” Mrs. C. A. Dugan received a beautifully illustrated copy of “At the Foot of the Rainbow,” written by Mrs. Jean Stratton Porter, of Geneva. This is her third novel and gives a splendid description of the rural life. The scene is laid in the central part of Indiana, and the book beautifully illustrated with colored plates, done by Oliver Kent. This is believed to be Mrs. Porter’s best work.

WERE ARGUED TODAY L. C De Voss Appears for City in Two Cases—A Hunter’s License Issued. Harriet E. Haviland vs. Grant Haviland, divorce, second paragraph of demurer filed and plaintiff was ruled to answer same. Susie Connant vs. Louis J. Habegger, $2,000 damages, demurer overruled and defendant filed a general denial. L. C. DeVoss, the city attorney, entered his appearance for the defendant in the cases of Samuel Frank and Joel Reynolds vs. City of Decatur, to collect salaries as night policemen. W. P. Schrock, the clothier, with the big smile, has taken out a hunter’s license and it is fair to presume that' the “bunnies” will hav e a strenuous existence during the rest of the win-

ter. Jesse A. Swartz has been appointed i a notary public and filed his bond. He lives in Root township. I Henry Young vs. Sarah Hetler et al. to reform a deed, absolute rule to ■ answer within five days was set aside. ■ A demurer was argued in the case of Charles McConnell vs. Florence and Clinton B. Griner, a replenvin suit from Jay county. From the pleadings it looks as though this case may prove rather interesting. Judge Merryman did not rule on the demurer. o IN MEMORIAM Os Bennie Houk, Who Departed this i Life November 21, 1907. ’Neath winter’s snow and summer’s , bloom

Our dear one sleeps within the tomb And tho’ we call, he answers not Who rest here in this hallowed spot The friend we knew in youth’s fair hours, When every path was sweet with flowers, The friend we loved and trusted well Who heed not the chapel bell. Tho’ long the years, to us so long, To him but as a passing song The while they wait. His voice to hear Who bright with glory shall appear. And bid them from God’s acre rise, To join His angels in th e skies. Then let us weep not; well we know How soon we, too, shall slumber so; And when we rise to world’s unknown Shall meet greet him as our own. o — OTHER SOCIETY NEWS Euterpean Club Met With Mrs. Eli Meyers—Y.

The program for the Sixth District meeting of the K. of P. lodge to be held at Bluffton on January 16th, is out, ' and from the appearances of the same the meeting should be a hummer.

The meeting will last the entire day and will wind up with a banquet and social session. Decatur lodge will be well represented. The new time table on the Grand Rapids goes into effect tomorrow morning and those.expecting to make a trip over this line would do well to look the change up and it may thus cause them some inconvenience.
