The day was observed as usual. There were the church services, the big family dinners and reunions, the amusements of various kinds and a general spirit of thankfulness prevailed. Practically every business house was closed. Union services were conducted, at the St. Marys church where high mass was conducted at nine o’clock closing with the singing of the TeDeum. At the United Brethren church union services were held and a large number of people were present. The program, especially prepared was well rendered and was enjoyed and appreciated by all. The program opened with mtisic by the choir, and throughout the service the music was an inspiring and splendid feature. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. D. O. Wise and was appropriate and of much interest. His text was “D,ue praise should I give, Great Jehova” and the minister brought out many thoughts that Will linger long in the minds of those vn» heard his able ,discourse.

along which he was clambering under th a rnof of hia *' whflsa at play Monday afternoon, Fred Baumgardner, 16, a son of Benjamin Baumgardner, living near Vera Cruz, caught his left leg on a nail projecting from a manger 4hlch he struck in his descent and laid open a great . gash |n the flesh of the thigh, which came near resulting In his death last night. In his fright he refrained from telling his parents of the accident, probably having the usual boyish) fear of punishment, and succeeded in checking the flow of blood, but the wound broke out afresh and came near sapping his life away last night in his bed before he called to his father for help and the father in turn summoned a doctor from this dty. When the accident occurred Monday the boy remained at the barn until the coagulated blood checked the flow of blood from the wound, and thinking that the Injury would heal the boy did not tell his parents of the accident. Late last night, however, the wound broke and when the boy awoke he found the bed soaked with blood and he was unable to check the flow. It was then, that he weakened and thoroughly alarmed he called his father. The parents did all they could before the physician arrived and undoubtedly saved the boy’s life, because he would have died had he not had their assistance. The doctor found a tear tn the flesh into which he could almost lay his hand, and It was necessary for him td open up the old wound, thoroughly cleanse it, and tie the ends of the severed blood vessels, which <some of the good sized, arteries and yelns of the leg.

I Monroe, Ind., Nov. 26.—(Special to I Dally Democrat)—The bunch of has-1 ket ball players and rooters from De-1 catur that Invaded Monroe yesterday I for a game with the latter team on I the school grounds, x were defeated by I our boys by the score of 20 to 10.1 The game was exciting and full of | interest but owing to the Decatur I team being weak on goal getting they I can congratulate themselves that they were lucky in securing the ten scores. I A large number of enthusiastic root-1 era were on hand to root the Monroe team to victory. Let Decatur sendl down a stronger team if they expect ! to carry home the honors. One of the most enjoyable family re-1 unions was celebrated here Thanks-1 giving when Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas! Wagoner entertained their children I and grandchildren in honor of their! son Eli Wagoner of Cascade, Mont.,l who dropped in on his parents to! once more participate In the feßtiVi-| ties at the parental home. Eli dellv-l ered two carload of cattle at Chicago! before coming here. He will start for I his Montana home Saturday morning I after a short stay with relatives and friends here. A bounteous repast was I spread promptly at the noon hour ahd tor the first time Mr. and Mrs. Wagoner were surrounded by nope htatl their relatives. After dinner the fam-1 lly picture was taken. As Uncle Nwkl says this may be his last Thanksgiving he may ever enjoy exclusively I with his children. Among the cHI-l dren from out of town were Ell Wqg-| oner of Cascade, Mont., who Has flpt visited here for the past five yeais,! and Mrs. Etta Silvers and son of Wfa-| cheater, a daughter. v I o ‘ ] The Great Northern Indiana Fair As-1 sociation proposes to live and P»> ceed to be the livllest and most p»-| gresslve hand of fair promoters thkt I ever came down the pike. It took them thirty minutes Friday morning while in stockholders meeting p l wind up their business and decide ny a unanimous vote to pay an assesk-j ment of five dollars and fifty cents op each'share of stock that has been I|sued by the association* This assesjment will be sufficient to pay every cent of their Indebtedness and wll leave them with a clean slate and tha means that now they start out and nd only make the fair the greatest evel but they will also keep clear of th! red ink and will make money. Thij was the business and the correct thing for them to do, and having disposed of the debt they are able to breathd and do business in a business way] The fact that not a dissenting voted was raised against this method of payj ment shows the association members! to be made of the right stuff, and that having weathered the storm this far, they will succeed in a financial way and will make the Great Northern the greatest fair of them all. As no debts! can be paid before seventy-five per cent, of this assessment is paid, those! affected should hasten to come across Ber. Samuel C.
