ADD NEW SIGNS. : ' • ' J—- . 'J The G. R. & I. depot has, received two large signs with the name "Decatur” neateiy painted thereon, which be placed on the north and'south sides of the depot The signs are beauties, the body gelng a black with larged gilt letters. They were made by the railroad company at Grand Rabids, Mich., and will be placed in position at once. Heretofore there was no sign whatever on the building and' the new ones will save many question as to what place this is. RETURNS TO HIS WORK. D. H. Hunslcker Thvrs-iyy began work, again as a, conductor in the interurban line after nearly a four weeks’ vacation on account of illness and an operation for the removal of gall stones. Mr. Hunslcker will be heartily welcomed by all along the line, as he was an acquaintance and friend of »all and known as a most courteous and obliging conductor. — q —r ON INSPECTION TOUR. Thomas S. Williamson of Anderson, a deputy of the state department of inspection, was in Decatur this morning on Els regular tour of inspection of factories, work shops, laundries, mercantile establishments, printing offices, bakeries, hotels, and public buildings. Hhe makes the tour of inspection twice a year, and visits all the forenamed places, ascertaining the sanitary condition of the buildings, the number of employees, whether all employees are over sixteen years of age, and all other such provisions of law for the protection of labor. . „, — —o George Roop has received word froih 'his son, Alpheus, who is stationed in the light artillery in the U. S. service at Fort neiiey, Florida, that his term of enlistment will expire about the middle of next month and that he will then return to his, home in this city. * Three years ago he enlisted at Fort Wayne and from there went to Indianapolis, where he was prepared for the light artillery and after being there for several months went to Fort Sheridan, just a short distance out of Chicago, where he remained for nearly two years. At the unveiling of the statue of General Lawton, which took place at Indianapolis a year ago last Decoration day, he, with the other troops, went to that place and took several important parts during the ceremonies. He aga|n returned to Fort Sheridan, where he remained for a short while and then went to Fort Reiley, where he has been ever since. Besides being in the light artillery he learned the profession of veterinary surgeon, which he has been practicing while at the latter place. He is an expert in this line and has received several important offers from different institutions, all carrying a well advanced salary. Mr. Roop is but twen-ty-one years of age and has a bright future before him. It is not known at this time just what his future course will be, but he will make a visit with his parents for some time and then decide upon his work. O' 1 — ■■ - WEDDING A SURPRISE. A Fort Wayne exchange says:“Miss Frances Alice Martin and Mr. Wilbur J. Boegli were married in Decatur on Saturday by the Rev. Sherman Powell of that place. The marriage was a surprise to their family and friends, who -knew nothing of It The bride is ■the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Martin of Spy Run. Mr. Boegli is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Boegli and is connected with the Globe £rinting company, of which his father is manager. The bride and groom will reside with the groom’s parents at 725 Columbia avenue. _ —— _4. • At this time when nearly everybody from ocean to ocean and from lakes to gulf are talking Improved water ways, it will be Interesting to our readers to recall the fact that as long ago as 1867, forty-three years |go, an attempt was made to organise a company here *to prepare and navigate the St Marys river with steamboats. The originaL-document of organization was handed us by William Blackburn, who was one of the circulators. The Intentions were to capitalize at four thousand dollars, in twenty-five dollar 'shares. After nearly half the amount was raised the proposition died/and has never really been revived. ' Henry W. Rover and F. H. Bremerkamp each subscribed |2OO, while among those who agreed to take one share were the following, whose names are familiar to all, though mahy of them have long since passed awaM: W. G. Spencer, W. R. Dorwln, Henry McLain, J. H. Stone, A? J. Hill, J. A. Cowail, I. J. Miesse, Alfred Hill, C. L. Schirmeyer, Henry Dirkes, Eli Zimmerman, John Schrank, William Blackburn, John Crawford, Jesse Niblick, Sam C. Bollman, A. Crabbs & Son, W. Addlesperger, J. W. Grim. L. Yager, Albert Barthel, S.

Vance has returned from a , two weeks’ trip through the south- [ west, visiting at Jonesboro and Ma--1 rioir, Arkansas, Cardwell, Mo., and , returning byway of Memphis, Tenn. 1 He reports tre trip a most delightful » one, the climate there being now as ■ mild as April weather in this section. . Moreover the visit with the former Decatur people, who have formed, in one sense of the word, colonies in lhe southwest, his stay there was a very homelike one, as he was privileged . to meet and visit with nearly all. • Among those he saw were Fred Faik, ■ who is in the timber business, located ; at Jonesboro, Miles Pillars, In a grist ' mill at that place, and George Mad--1 dy, Who is conducting the branch Coni or ice cream plant, and Joe Ma«on, who is working in a bank at Jones- ; boro. At Cardwell he met Rufus Allison, in charge of his large lumber mill, and young Dick Erwin, who is helping him. He met Charles Merryman, who is auditor of a railroad in , Missouri, and at Marlon, Arkansas, cal ed on Clark Coverdale, who is also : conducting a saw mill. All are in good health and are doing well, a fact that is very pleasing to all their friends here. ■■ o Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 20. —It is entirely lawful for a person living in a “dry” territory in Ohio to appoint an agent to go' into “wet” territory to buy liquor tor nim and to have the same delivered. This is the decision of the supreme court of Ohio, just delivered in a case which involves that much disputed question. It appears that in Champaign county, which is “dry,” one J. M. Lynch went to another town where liquor is allowed to : be sold, and purchased a quart of ; whiskey for an acquaintance, who I paid his railroad fare on that account > On being arrested Lynch was tried and acquitted. Believing that there ; should be a finality of ruling on this - point, the prosecuting attorney for I the, county filed exceptions to the find- ; Ing and appealed to the supreme t court. The ruling could in no event [ effect Lynch, who could not be placed - in jeoprady the second time for his s -act. The supreme court was unani- : mous in overruling the exceptions of t the prosecuting attorney, the opinion • being delivered by Judge W. S. Davis. 1 The syllabus- of that opinion is as folj lows: “It is not a violation of the > act entitled, “An act further to pro- • vide against the evils, resulting from : the “traffic in intoxicating liquors by . providing for local option in counties s (99 0. L., 35), for one who lives in ' the county in which the traffic in in- ■ toxicatlng liquors is prohibited under 1 the provisions of the said act, to go L into a county where said traffic is not : prohibited and purchase intoxicating < liquor in any quantity for his own . use, and bring the same into the coun- ; ty where he lives, to be used therein l by him as a beverage; and any such i person may, under said statute, not ; only himself purchase intoxicating I liquor as, and so rthe specific purpose aforesaid, but he may also do so by another, whom he has constituted his agent for that purpose.” 1 ■ 11 ", 'O- ■ 1 CLASS OF FIVE CANDIDATES.

JJJ ."t Another class of five candidates is 1 scheduled for initiation this evening ; by the Knights of Pythias and a large attendance is desired at the meeting tonight Plans for the dedication of the new home February 17th wilt also be discussed, as the various committees appointed for arranging for the dedication services in details have been quite busy and will have much to report — ———o r— PREBLE TOWNSHIP THERE TOO. Henry Schelman Sold Twenty-Three ' Hogs* for a Lot of Money. Preble as well as Union and all the other' townships in the county are there when It comes to raising the best hogs that are placed on the market and which bring the top price, and the top price just now looks good. Henry Scheiman sold twentythree hogs last w*ek to the shipper, Fred Schleman, and the twenty-three weighed six thousand four hundred pounds, the price paid being eight and onehalf cents, and the net result of the transaction was $544. This is cer- 1 tatnly going some and it is but another evidence that there is no such thing 1 as the poor farmer. o — — The examination for those desiring positions fas census enumerators, which has been universally set for February sth, will be held in the high 1 school building, this city on that date, beginning at 1 o’clock in the afternoon.

terson and O. P. Mills. Owing to the fact that the applications are sent in directly to the district supervisor of this department, Mr. Broyles, of Muncie, it is impossible to tell at this time just what number will be on hand to try the tests, but the local board stated that it would be prepared for any number from fifty to one hundred. o County Recorder H. S. Steele today sent in his report for 1909 to the state bureau of statistics. Some of the facts contained therein are of interest. During the year 801 warranty and quit claim deeds were filed, for which the consideration was >1,590,826; also two sheriff deeds, at a consideration of >7,313. Mortgages on farm5,">676,243, white mortgages amounting to >427,442 were paid off and satisfied. On city properties mortgages numbering 154 were filed, with a total of >122,935; satisfied,. >85,493; school fund mortchattel mortgages, >60,544; satisfied, >33,217; liens, 0230,237; satisfied, >4,954. The total on mortgages were, >1,135,604, while total satisfied were >605,301. The president of the Woman’s Auxiliary cff the Adams County Farmers’ association is well pleased with the response of the business men of the city in contributing premiums for the culinary contest, which is to be a feature of the farmers*'* institute this year. No sooner had the merchants of the city heard of this new department than they made haste to notify the president of the auxiliary of their willingness to contribute to the success of the affair, and will do all in their power to make it such. The premiums may be selected from the stock of those who have thus willingly offered their aid. There will be nine premiums offered for bread, cake and butter made by the farmers’ wives, and since the merchants have done so much to help the contest along, it remains for the farmers’ wives to contribute to the display and make It one of the best ever. The judges will be the wives of the business men who have offered, the best premiums. The Adams county farmers’ wives are known for their excellent butter, bread and cake, and the display in this contest, it is safe to say, will rival that held anywhere in the country, in the matter of excellency. - There was a pretty home wedding at the residence of Mrs. Wealthia Weaver, 236 West Butler street, on Monday afternoon, when her daughter, Miss Glenn Weaver, and Mr. Walter R. Cording es Decatur were married by Rev. C. Claud Travis, pastor of the Wayne street M. E. church. The bride wore a becoming and stylish gown of lavender satin with trimmings of point lace and she held American beauty roses. After the ceremony an elaborate dinner was served the wedding party, which consisted of immediate relatives and a few friends. The decorations throughout were pink and green. In the evening the bride and groom left for an eastern trip and on their return will make their home in Chicago, as Mr. Cording has a responsible position with the Illinois Steel company. For traveling the bride wore a dark blue diagonal cloth with a small 'fur turban trimmed with roses and foliage. The bride has.many friends but few of whom had 7 any hint of the coming wedding. Mr. Cording’s par-

Rural Mail Carrier S. S. ‘ Magley of Route 7 was able to comJ plete his route Monday for the first ’ time since Thursday of last week. At ' that time the St. Marys river had T flooded the road, making passage oyer f the Lewton bridge in Root township ' impracticable. The water was so deep 1 in the road that it came up into the ’ wagon box and there was also great s danger to the horse and driver from r washouts and from floating pieces of ’ ice. Those living on this side of tffe 1 river, at the end of the route, including ’ Elias Sudduth, Jerry Archbold, George ’ Ruckman, Charles Cook, Nancy ■ Sheets, Henry Kintz and Emerson Elzey were out oft from mail service during that time. i — o .
