—————— WAS 77 YEARS OLD Has Served in Civil War and in Ministry for Many Years—the Funeral ! t Rev. It. W. Watts, probably the ' best known man in northern Adams i 1 county, who for five years has suffered i, as a result of a paralytic stroke, to- , gether with the infirmities of old age, 1 died Thursday a t 4:30 p. m , after sustaining the third and fatal stroke ! of paralysis. The deceased has lived > a noble life. He was born at Union, , a small town in the vicinity of Dayton, Ohio, in 1831, where he was ' reared to manhood. In 1853 he was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Miss Annis Gates of near Celina. To this happy union were born six children, T. W. "Watts of Decatur; J. W. Watts, of Monmouth; Mrs. C. C. Wilder, of Monmouth; Mrs. Rhoda A. Maban, of Monmouth; Mrs. Mary Allen and Greenbury Watts, the latter two having preceded their father to the great beyond. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Watts took up their abode at Menden, Ohio, where they resided for a number of years. However, they had been wedded but eight years when a call for volunteer soldiers was issued and Mr. Watts was among the first to enlist in the service of his country in 1861, whei a dark cloud hund over the nation of America. The deceased was a member of the forty-sixth Ohio volunteer infantry and during the course of the battles, he was wounded several times, having been shot in the head and back, as well as having two fingers of his left hand shot off. He was brave and true and before the war ceased he was appointed captain of his company, an honor he well deserved. In 1880 Mr. Watts and family removed to this county, which was a short time after he had entered the ministry, his first charge having been at Delphos, Ohio. Since that time he has engaged in evangelistic work as well as holding charges at Upland, Indiana, and Vandalia, Mich., in the Friends church. The paralytic stroke suffered by the deceased five years ago rendered him unable to continue activity in the ministry and in fact his condition has demanded medical attention during several years past. In June, 1907, the aged man suffered the second stroke, although but a light onie, and he then made the statement to his wife that he would , be taken by a third this June. Last , Monday evening at 5:30 o’clock the . third stroke came, although not in June as was predicted by the afllcted ( man and since then he has gradually , declined,being unconscious and unable to speak during the closing chapter ’ of his long and useful life. Besides [ the four children, his widow, two ( brothers, J. M. Watts, of Menden, . Ohio, and R. O Watts of Adrian, Mich., together with a multitude of . sorrowing friends, partake of the poigi nant grief emanating from the death of the estimable man. The funeral services were held from the house t Sunday afternoon at one o’clock, Rev. * Ira Johnson, superintendent of Indiana yearly meeting of Friends church, officiating. Interment was - made at the Monmouth cemetery.

Richard Earl Locke, a former Waterloo boy. writes us from Buffalo, saying that his church has given him a year’s vacation on part pay and that June 12, with his wife, rhey will sail from Boston, via Leyland line for Liverpool. They will visit the Cathedral towns of England, the lakes and highlands of Scotland and this summer and in the autumn will visit France and Holland, taking the Rhine trip into Germany, and thence to Switzerland and Italy, probably spending the winter at Dresden or Munich. “We are going to get a new start and a fresh grip after the terrific experiences of last summer,” he said. “It is twenty-one years since I was graduated from the Waterloo high school and left town for college, four years at DePauw university, three years at Boston university, one year at Union Theological seminary, New York, one year at Cuyler Chapel, Brooklyn one year foreign travel, three years at Wickliff church. Newark, three years at Church of Redeemer, at Germantown, and now five years at Calvary Presbyterian church, Brooklyn. Remember me to my Waterloo friends. —Waterloo Press. Rev.

TO MANAGE SOUTHERN FORESTS Important Step is Offer Made by Georgia University. Washington, D. C„ May 29.—An important step in the general movement to bring many of the rich stands of timber in the south under a scientific plan of forest management is the offer made by the school of forestry of the university of Georgia, at Athens, Ga.. to furnish timber owners experts who will examine and report upon any of the forests in the state. The object of the offer is to collect information in regard to the forest resources of the state, to spread a knowledge of forestry and to improve forest conditions. The forest school will furnish the experts free and the only expense which will be borne by the forest owner will be paid for the traveling and subsistence expenses of the expert tvhile making the examination. In cases where several owners of the same locality apply the expenses will be prorated. When applications for examination are made, the owners have been asked to give their names and postofiice addresses, location of tract, area of tract, character of forest as shown by the kinds of trees growing on the land, the conditions of the forest, whether mature, original or second growth, whether the land has been burned or cut over, and the wishes of the owner regarding the use of the land. o RETURNED TO OHIO LAST NIGHT The Delegation of Traction Men Well Pleased.

The disastrous fire at Ossian Tuesday night was a hard blow to the prosperous and thriving town, but the people of the place are possessed of indomitable courage in the face of misfortunes which would dishearten completely a less sturdy and determined community. In the face of their heavy losses most of the fire sufferers are arranging or have already arranged to rc-embark in business and most of them will be conducting their respective institutions in cramped, but the only available quarters for the present. All of those who were located in the block wiped out had arranged by last night, less than twenty-four hours after the fire, to get back into business again immediately, with the exception of Rector Bros, and Fred N. Sharp, who on account of their extremely heavy losses, and complete destruction of their stock, and without available locations must necessarily take more time to determine their future course. —Bluffton News.

As this is a good circus it is probable that the Decatur folk will patronize the same if it comes to town. Mrs. Agnes Nickell, who visited in Ohio for two weeks, has returned to her home at Fort Wayne. She will leave tomorrow for the state of Washington, where she will take a position as teacher in the Colville Sanitarium Indian school which is located twenty-eight miles from Spokane, Washington.
