But since our systems have become weakened, impaired and broken down through 1 indiscretions which have gone on from the early ages, through countless generations, remedies are needed to i aid Nature in correcting our inherited and otherwise . jafeMF* acquired weaknesses. To reach the eeat of stomach flwn weakness and consequent digestive troubles, there is nothing so good as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov- W ery, a glyceric compound, extracted from native medio- x Inal roots—sold for over forty years with great satisfaction to all users. Fori Weak Stomach, Biliousness, Liver Complaint, Pain in the Stomach after eating. Heartburn, Bad Breath, Belching of food, Chronic Diarrhea and other Intestinal Derangements, the “Discovery” is a time-proven and most efficient remedy. You can’t afford to accept a secret nostrum as a substitute for this non-eleo- \ holic, medicine of known composition, not even though the urgent dealer may thereby make a little bigger profit. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets regulate and invigorate stomach, liver ana bowels. Sugar-coated, tiny granules, easy to take as candy. ...

BANQUET QIVEN AT MONROE In Honor of Rev. Jones and His Go|od Wife. The Ladles’ Aid Society of the Monroe charge gav a banquet Wednesday night at chucrh basement in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Jones, the beloved pastor and wife and the occasion was a very happy one. The president of the society, Mrs. W. L. Graham, presided and made an appropriate talk;, concluding by presenting Rev. Jones and wife each with five dollars as a small token of their appreciation for the work they had done in their midst Replies were made by Mr. and Mrs. Jones, In which they thanked the kind people whom they had lived among for the past few years and had learned to love. Those present were Messrs, and Mesdames J. A. Hendricks, Robert Shirk, E. Burche, James Hendricks, Charley Merriman, J. J. Hofer, flames Kesler, Milter Hendricks, Mrs. W. L. Graham and Mrs. Marion Oliver. It is the sincere wish of the society that Rev. Jones and wife be returned to Monroe, but if they are called to other fields they will go assured of the best wishes of every one there, and the prayers of many will follow them. The west end saloon owned by Henry Vian was the subject of a well planned thievery Wednesday night, robbers forcing entrance to building by breaking the window in the rear door, pillaging a quantity of beer, whiskey and > cigars before their departure. Night Policeman Fisher in making his rounds, noticed the light being out in the saloon, and he 'crept stealthily near, the building, where he heard a noise within. He hastily went to the depot to secure the aid of a man, that both doors could be watched to prevent the escape of the thieves and -upon returning ascertained that the bird had /flown, leaving behind in the alley two bottles of beer and a quart of whiskey which was undoubtedly lost In the shuffle. A diligent search was made without the desired results. Next morning the finger of suspicion was pointed at Curtis Johnson, who came here that day from Marion, and Officers Butler and Fisher accompanied the young man to the saloon where tracks had been made by the party who forced entrance to the building, and Johnson’s foot fitted the track precisely. This fact in connection with the one that an examination of Johnson’s effects disclosed the presence of a quantity of beer prompted the officers to file an affidavit against him charging burglary. The young man was arrested. He was placed in jail that afternoon to await a hearing, which will be given tomorrow. Should Johnson be convicted of the charge, the minimum •penalty will be ten years In prison. .—42 *2 j Governor Marshall has paroled Thomas ’ McCarthy, of Blackford county, from the Michigan City prison, largely Upon the recommendation of Warden Reid. McCarthy is 1 the paroled man who on his own initiative returned from the state of Washington and surrendered himself to the prison authorities after having joined the Saltation Army. He will resume the work in the army’s ranks upon his release, and in writing Governor Marshall wished him “Godspeed in hs efforts to lead a better life.’’ Ernest W. Naftzger, son of the Rev. L. J. and Mrs. Naftzger of Muncie, will depart today for Australia where he will assist the Rev. J.Wilbur Chapman in a series of evangelistic meetings, Mr. Naftzger being a singing evangelist. The first meetings will be held in Melbourne, these to last three weeks. After meetings in the important Australian towns the party will go to New Zealand and Tasmania, thence to China, Japan, the Philippines and perhaps Hawaii, returning home about the holiday season — Muncie Press. . Local option elections will be helc during this month and the first oi April in Benton, Montgomery, Greene Ohio, Elkhart, Orange, Jennings Bartholomew, Vermillion, Henry, Casi and Blackford counties. <■■■«» -

Dr. Landfair will make application to the state medical examining board 1 within a short time and ask to have his license, which was revoked when .he wae sent to prison, renewed. By , the passage of the taw giving the medical board power to restore licenses to doctors whose licenses have been 1 revoked, the board now has the power • to give the Bluffton doctor the pow- » er to practice. It is now up to the state board to decide whether the local doctor should be given the permit ' to practice. —Bluffton Banner. 1 1 >■ Mrs. John W.

Mrs. Ned Steele Entertained at a St. Patrick’s day party at her home on Third street in honor of her slater, Miss Cora Barker of Marion, Wednesday afternoon. The rooms'were decorated in green. In the parlor green shamrocks were festooned from the corners of the rooms to the chandelier. Flags of the same color were pinned here and there on the walls and curtains. In the living room the same decoration was carried out The recess of the bay window looked especially attractive. Just below the ceilings from the tops of the windows • shamrocks were festooned and cross- ' ed in the center over the chandelier, ■ which loked very pretty with decor- • ations of green flags. In the corner ' to the right was the mantlepiece, draped in white crepe paper with ‘ green shamrocks. The luncheon was ' served at small tables. The center- ■ piece was four shamrocks. The place ’ cards were decorated with a shamrock painted on the corner of the card. The names of the guests were ' spelled backward. It required much skffl to find their places. A contest was very Interesting. -IffirsL George Flanders won the prize, a dozen pink noon, March 19th, the home of 1 if rs. Dr. ThoipaS on south Third 1 street.

An attempt was made to get the case , set for the present session of the ' court, but there were so many other things up that this could not be done. The Faylor heirs have made all preparations for the suit, having mortgaged the land which is how owned by the estate, for the purpose t of raising money to fight, the case through again. Out of this money was taken the amount needed to pay . the costs of the previous cases before ( the case was reversed by the suf pfeme court and sent back for re- ! trial. Both sides are preparing for } the suit and the present indications are that nearly every attorney n the city will be interested. No matter r which way the case should be decided there s very little probability of it being settled. An appeal will be tak- ' en no matter which side wins.— ’ Bluffton Banner. 3 O 0. N.
