The home of Peter M. Fulk, living nine miles southwest of Decatur, was the scene of a most happy event on Friday night in honor of Mr. Fulk, , when ninety-seven of his friends gathered in to remind him of his six-ty-second anniversary. The surprise had been quietly contemplated by his son and neighbors for some time and they succeeded in carrying out their well laid plans without him in the least suspicioning anything of the kind. Mr. Fulk had left early for Craigville to meet his son, Muri, who was returning home from the Marion Normal college. The crowd began to gather at the home at 7 o’clock and by 8:30 the home was nearly filled, and with the lights turned down they awaited the arrival of their victim. On reaching the home Mr. Fulk quickly helped to unhitch the horse and proceeded to the house, and without any warning was ushered into the midst of the crowd. Altrough a sudden shock, Mr. Fulk collected his thoughts and exclaimed, “My God, what have I done!” After a few apologies, and different subjects were discussed, the company sat down to an oyster supper and did ample justice to the well spread table before them, Mr. Fulk by this time manifesting a keen appetite. The main features of the evening were games, indulged in by the young people, and music by Lloyd Luttman of Magley and Miss Yaney of Bluffton, all joining in the chorues, and they made the house ring with the airs of quaint old songs. Many presents were received, among one of the lesser ones being a fine tobacco pouch, which Mr. Fulk said he had ( been longing for for a long time. They all parted at the wee hours of the night, wishing Mr. Fulk many more such milestones.. Mr. Fulk is a pioneer resident of this county, coming here from Warren, Ohio, in the fall of 1872, and commenced the clearing away of the large trees which at that time were thick in this part of the country. He batched it alone for six years and in the spring of 1883 went to South Bend, Ind., where he and his brother, Henry Fulk, now of 1127 West Washington street, South Bend., began their carpenter trade anew. He worked at the trade during the summer months and returned to his farm when the weather was unfit to work at his trade. He kept up this routine until in the year 1888, when he began to have his place looking more like a farming district than a forest. When inspired by the same environment that forced John Alden to lead Priscilla on the white ox to the altar, he took unto himself the greatest of mankind’s blessings, and in March, 1889, brought Alvina Bernhard of 334 Lafayette street, South Bend, Ind., as his wife. This joy was not broken until August 2, 1907, when his wife was called to the great unknown, leaving him ,hnd his four sons, Muri, John, Jacob and Arthur. Mr. Fulk is a prosperous farmer, alive to all the new ideas concerning agricultural problems. He is well known throughout this part of the country, forming a great number of acquaintances and is held in the highest esteem by all who know him as beln an honest, straightforward Christian man.—Contributed. v ———-—' « - Charles Patton made a trip to Fort Wayne last evening, returning on the last car.

She laid down and Jkhen called for dinner her sister was alarmed by finding the child delirious, her hands and face very cold, her face blue and her heart action very weak. A doctor was called at once and an emetic given, thus re- .. . moving the greater portion of the disturbing element, but she was very sick the entire afternoon and the doctor made three trips during the afternoon to attend her. She was ill the greater part of Sunday, but has recovered sufficiently to attend school today. A sister, Miss Beatrice, also tasted of the egg, but on account of the small bit eaten was rendered only slighty ill. >3 o , FARMS FOR SALE.
