The Presbytery meeting is held twice a year—one in the fall and the other in the spring—and at those times the reports of the spiritual and material conditions of the charges in the dietrict are heard. The Fort Waye district includes all of the churches in the counties of the northeast portion of the state and they are represented at the presbytery meetings by the pastors and an elder. The Rev. Spet-Ytno-al wlahAß tn am Dhanl? a th a imnor-

Charles Dellinger and family are moving from Michigan to this city. They will live on Chestnut street

OBITUARY. Improve each moment as It files; Lttes a short summer —man a flower, He dies —alas! how soon he dies. B'eep and death, two twins of winged race, ~ Os matchless swiftness, but of silent pace.. u-:. . ( Lilly Blanch Shackley, daughter of Howard W. and Samantha E. Shackley, was born In Root township, Adams county, Ind., May 26, 1885; died at her home in Decatur, Ind, April 11, 1910, aged 24 years, 10 months and 17'days. 1 At the age of fourteen years sho was converted and joined the Pleasant Grove U B. church. Later, on coming to Decatur she joined the M. E. church of this city. During her last sickness she was patient and bore her sufferings without a murmer. She often said she had no fears of death and was anxiously waiting to meet her Savior. She was thei youngest of eight children, two brothers, Warren and Joseph William having preceded her to the great beyond. Both parents, one brother and four sisters survive her. These are Mrs. Nettle Spangler, Mrs. Effie Bowers, Louisa Jennie, Mrs. Myrtle Baxter and Samuel K. Shackley. ■ Besides the Immediate family she leaves many friends and relatives to mourn their loss Sleep that no pain shall make, Night that no moon shall break, Till joy shall overtake Her perfect calm. ' <■"■' - 1 w— — ■ 1 ■■' "—- VERSES FROM KENTUCKY. At the age of seventy-seven, Julia Stockton Dinsmore offers her first contribution to literature, a book of , poems. Miss Dinsmore is one of those lovable southern personalities whose I close companionship with nature is \ combined with a lot of books and music. Very much of her long life has been spent out of doors, and she Is still frequently in the saddle. Her verses reflect her intimate knowledge and love of nature, bearing the “sweet scent of Kentucky mint,” as they sing of “Noon in a Blue Grass. Pasture,” of “Love Among the Roses,” of the tobacco field and of the dark bayou; the delicate sentiment mingling with the glad sunshine and melody of the birds, always cheery though the eyes are tear-dimmed. {»: The latter part of the book is composed of sonnets, beginning with her recently written “A Sonnet Sequence.” Here again the happy blending of nature-love and book-love is evident. Miss Dinsmore has been alone set the larger portion of the last twenty 1 years, living and sleeping without I protection in her Kentucky home. In | the daytime she superintends the | work of the farm or the house, now | directing the building of a fence, the | planting of the tobacco or the train- | Ing of a rose bush. In the evening ■ she, sits alone with a student’s lamp for company, and ,in winter with a I' fire on the old-fashioned hearth, ob- « llvious of danger, apparently unconI sclous of lonllhess, lost in one of the F volumes with which the many who i love her and admire her keep her shelves supplied. t ——i-——o — RESOLUTIONS. < To the Decatur Motor Cai- Company : Tour committee on resolutions, heretofore appointed to draft suitable expressions of our sympathy on the death of Mrs. W J Vesey, beg leave to submit the following: Whereas, Death has removed frop | this earthly sphere, the beloved comI panion, the wife of our esteemed I friend and business associate, WilI Mam J Vesey, and I Whereas, By her death a gloom has L been cast about his friends, the com- [ munity in which she spent so many I useful years, suffered an irreparable I loss; and the people with whom she I came in contact a worthy emulation; I therefore, be it I Resolved, That we, the Decatur MoI tor Car. Company, while we bow in I reverence to the dictates of him who | doeth all things well, we cannot but I extend our kindliest regards and sinI oerest sympathies to our friend and I business associate in this hour of his I great sorrow. And be it • I Resolved, That we extend to him and to his family that sympathy that serves to make us all of kin; and C Resolved, That as a tribute of our ’ respect and love to him and his fam- > ily a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to him and a page of the records of this organisation be set apart to record our expressions of commiseration and respect. M. E. BRACKETT, JULIUS HAUGH, | L. A. GRAHAM, Committee. o ■ 1 Mrs. H. C. Proctor returned this morning to Logansport after a visit here with Mrs. Tom Trim. Mrs. Jacob Graber and daughter, Miss LlMie, went to Fort Wayne this morning for a visit with relatives.

’ The meeting of the Mite society of. the Methodist church at the home oi Mr. and'Mrs. John T. Meyers on Seventh street Friday afternoon was' one of unusual importance, inasmuch as the annual election pf officers was held. Those who will serve duririg the coming year are: President, Mrs. J. N. Parrish; secretary, Mrs. B. J. Rice, and treasurer, Mrs. Jesse Dailey. Both Mrs. Parrish and Mrs. Dailey were re-elected. The report of the treasurer for the past year showed that during that time the society had paid off an indebtedness of |BOO, a thing for which this little band of workers deserves much credit indeed. Plans for the new year’s work were mapped out and discussed, and among' other things the ladies decided to continue the sale of the dustless dust cloths, with which they have been Very successful. The meeting of the U. B.‘Ladies’ Aid society at the home of Mrs. George Chronister was largely attended and a very interesting time spent. The regular monthly routine of business was disposed of and the society arranged to meet Tuesday at the home of Mrs. I Imler to make comforts for their sale. After the business session a social period was enjoyed and the hostess served a very tempting lunch. The next regular monthly business meeting will be held May 12th at the home of Mrs. Tom Trim. As a result of their dinner and supper Friday the ladies of the Christtian church report a net gain of thir-ty-two dollars for their treasury. They did exceedingly well and wish ;to thank the public for their patronage, Mrs., Niblick afid son for the use of their building, and the Hltesman & Garard and Steele & Weaver stores for the use of the dishes for the serving of the dinner. ■ O OBITUARY. Eugene Bunner, son of Enoch and Eliza Bunner, was born in Pennsylvania September 30, 1837, and departed this nfe at his home in Rivarre March 10, 1910, aged 72 years, 5 months and 20 days. At the age of eight years he, with fils parents, came to Adams county, Indiana, where he has since resided. On in marriage to Rebecca A Carpenter. To this union were born eight children, three of which preceded him to the glory world He was a veteran of the Civil war and an exceptionally good soldier, having enlisted with Company I, of Eighty-ninth Regiment, Indiana Volunteers, August 14, 1862, and was mustered out July 16, 1865, during which tiqte he never missed a day’s duty or failed to be with his company in time of battle. He was a member of the Sam Henry Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, and his experiences as a soldier and his army relationships were among his fondest recollections, having spoken frequently, even during his last illness, of his soldier comrades. While young in years he gave his heart to God and united with the church and has since been a consistent and faithful worker for God in whom he trusted. This leaves to mourn their loss a devoted wife, five daughters, three sons-ln-law, three grandchildren, one brother, one sister and a host of other relatives and friends. He was an earnest, faithful Christian, a devoted husband and loving father, and while we must mourn his departure, yet we feel that our loss is his eternal gain, when we remember that Christ said, “Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord." Funeral services at Bobo U. B. church Wednesday morning, March 23rd, conducted by C. L. Marsh. Interment at Mt Tabor cemetery. -i/. w— ■- The Decatur Pocahontas council will have the honor of entertaining a large number of the state officers April 30th, the officials stopping off in the city for a several days’ visit while enroute to Fort Wayne to attend the distrist Pocahontas convention, which will be held there May 3rd.

A little taste of real spring. However, we have the promise of the weather man that it’s not to last long, so let’ii don’t grumble. It’s been so nice for six weeks past that any man who kicks very hard on a day or two of this would certainly be a dyspeptic. - -4

Pointers on poultry. Mrs. D. A. Brooks, Sturgis, Ky., says: “I have been Using Bourbon Poult* Cure and think it is the best poult* remedy I have ever used.

Asa Clarence, son of John 0. and Ellen Myers, was born in Adams county, Indiana, Decemoer 11, 1893. and departed this life April 1, 1910, aged 16 years, 3 months and 20 days. In the revival services held at Zion, Adanis county, last January, Asa, with a number of his associates, gave his heart to God and he was sweetly saved. January 23rd he united with Christian union and received the ordinance of baptism. Consumption was the cause of his death. He leaves to mourn their loss father and four brothers, besides a large circle of relatives and friends, his mother and three sisters having preceded him to the spirit land; but our loss Is his eternal gain. Say, Why should friendship grieve for those Who safe arrive on Canaan’s shore Released from all their hurtful foes, They are not lost, but gone before. How many painful days on earth, Their fainting spirits numbered o’er Now they enjoy a heavenly birth They are not lost, but gone before. Dear is the spot where Christians sleep, And sweet the strain which angels pour, * O, why should we in anguish weep? They are not lost, but gone before. Secure from every mortal care, By sin and sorrow vexed no more, Eternal happiness they share, Who are not lost, but gone before. To Zion’s peaceful courts above In faith triumphant may we soa", Embracing in the arms of love, The friends not lost, but gone before. 0 To Jordan’s banks whene’er we come, And hear the swelling waters road, Father convey us safely home, To friends not lost, but gone before. Funeral was held in Zion church, Sunday morning, April 3rd, conducted by Rev. J. W. Sager. —' o FIRST BALL. GAME. The fifst ball game of the season was played at Steele’s park Sunday when the Knights of Columbus team crossed bats with the Shamrocks. The game was interesting throughout and neither side was confident of winning until nine innings were over. The K. of C. team was in the lead until the ninth, when a few costly errors were made and their opponents were allowed to cross the plate, losing the game to the Shamrocks. Another game will be played In the near future and some interesting matches can be looked for before the season closes. - O ' ~ —- J.

The Washington township Sunday school convention held at the St Paul church south of this pity Sunday afternoon and evening was largely attended and proved to be a most interesting one. The theme for the afterodfcn was the “Adult Bible Class,” <• which was most ably brought out in an address by C. E. Biery of Berne. Statistics, showing the work of the Bible Class association of Indiana and Adams county, and giving some very good things regarding this great power for good were given, and the subject was further discussed in a most able way by Attorney C. J. Lutz. Jesse Rupp of Berne, superintendent of the Adams county Sunday School association, was present and brought to mind the State Sunday School convention to be held at Indianapolis next week, and urged the attendance of as many as possible from this county. If fifty or more can go, special rates will be given, the party going byway of Portland. All desiring to go in this way should notify Mr. Rupp. The evening's work took up “The Teachers’ Training Class” and the “Stranger’s Friends’” society, which were discussed by J. W. Meyers, superintendent of the St. Paul Sunday school, and by Thomas Perkins, bringing out many good features. Attorney C. L. Walters was to have given the address of the evening but as he could not be present this was turned over to Howard Wisehaupt Mr. Wisehaupt is secretary of the teachers’ training department of the Washington Township association, and his address abounded in much of practical use gained from his experience. The Dons were to have furnished music for the occasion, but as their dumber was broken by the absence of Don Burke, who took charge of his pastorate at Woodburn over Sunday, they could not fill their part of the program. - —O’ ■ - — ~ Pension Agent Robert Blackburno has been notinea or the granting of a pension to Rebecca Bunner of twelve dollars per month.
