Another sad death recorded on the annals at the county Infirmary is that ! of Mrs. Mary Laisure, wife of William ■ Hi Laisure, who passed away Thursday evening at 6 o’clock. Mrs. Lalsure had reached the age of eightythree years and seven months and. death was due to the infirmities of old age. About ten days ago she fell and the shock, together with the tearing of ligaments and sustaining of severe bruises, hastened her demise. Mr. and Mrs. Leisure had been nearly life-long residents of Monroe township, living Just a little south of Monroe, but for the past four years had been Inmates of the Infirmary. The husband survives. Mr. Graber stated this morning that Mrs. Leisure was ....

one of the most peaceable and kind of the inmates, and was greatly liked by all. She was born In Ohio, October 12, 1826, and was the daughter of Robert Smith, but the greater part of her life has been spent in Adams . county. She was the second wife of Mr. Leisure and leaves no children, though she has several stepchildren. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 1 o’clock at the infirmary, chapel by the Rev. L. C. Hessert of the German Reformed church of this city. Interment In the infirmary cemetery. ’ -—.— — Henry Gerke came home this morning from Berne, where he was visiting yesterday as the guest of friends.

Monroe, Ind., ,May 13-(Special to Daily Democrat)—A queer looking couple struck this town Thursday morning, accompanied by a real live monkey, which was quite an attraction for Our young folks as well a& n)any of the older ones. One of the musicians made a vigorous attempt at blowing an old dilapidated b&gp.p«. ■ Charles Mason of Muncie visited here with his brother-in-law, Z. O. Lewellen, and family and also visited with his daughter, Miss Bessie Mason, who is bookkeeper at the Monroe state bank. Hrs. D. M. Hower of Decatur and daughter, Mrs. Arahur Ford, of Mundt were guests of John Mayer and family Wednesday. Sheriff Ell Meyer and Deputy Ed Green of Decatur were here Wednesday looking after some business. • Miss Esther McNary left this morning for southern-Ohio, where she will visit with relatives during the coming • ■•’! «a ~ * Since the arrival of the new miller, Harmon Gllllg, of Decatur the milling department of the Montoe Hay, Grain and-Milling company has been taxed to its fullest capacity. The output is 'twenty-five barrels per day and this plant can now boast of turning out s better grade of flour than ever had been done before. The mill has been overhauled and has been put in such shape as to enable them to do a large amount of custom grinding, as well as corn meed, cracked corn, chop feed t besides their regular daily grist of flour. J Rumor has it that this place will have a new brick business room erected this summer, besides the numerous other improvements which are to : be made in the near future. Anew face was seen ou our streets Thursday morning. Uncle Sam Martz underwent the amputation of a year’s growth of whiskers, and the change has caused Sam to look much l younger. The room formerly occupied by the poatofflee has been leased by A. SKellfer for a real estate office and Dr. R. U. Knossos Berne, who are now located above the Hocker drug store. They make the change June Ist. A new business firm has been organized here and will be known as the Monroe Live Stock company, those " interested in it being Louis Andrews and Menno Leichty. The have just I purchased- eighty head from John I Neuenehwander, the price paid him I being 31,258.75, and was perhaps the I largest single purchase ever made at I this market The new firm will enI gage actively in the business and thus assures a good market for this place. I Geneva, May 10, 1910. —Pursuant to previous agreement the Ads ams County Trustees* association [ met at Berne Tuesday, May 10, 1910, for the purpose of discussing some [ of the many questions that come up ! tor their consideration from time to r time. To exchange ideas, compare notes, to agree upon some plan of proi ceedure that will be in the main uniform over the country since these are the days of uniform plans. Those | present were J. A. Fleming, O. J. Sus man, Frank C. Wechter, Christ Beer, John Mosure, John Ws Cowens, Wai- , ter L. Thornhill, John T. Kelly. b The meeting was called to order L by the president, Mr. Fleming, of Unk ion township, who stated in a few well selected remarks the object of ’ the meeting and that the meeting was I in the hands of the proper custodians [ and that he wished the members I would improve the time to the best interest of all concerned, which we I proceeded to do. L The first question taken up was whether we should indorse the accounting board and the courteous and efficient manner of the field examin- ‘ ers, Messrs McCoy and Perry, who examined the books of the township . trustees here last winter. This disl eussion brought out much discussion , for and against, mostly against the proposition. Finally in order to reach a decision on the matter and to get it disposed of the following motion was made by the waiter and seconded by John Mosure: “I move that a committee of three be appointed by the president to draft resolutions on the" Indorsement of the accounting law and the field This motion was put by the chairman, but was lost. This settled the question of indorsement. The field examiners , who made the examination might have received an indorsement for their courteous treatment, had it not been for the tact that the trustees of this county nave never heard anything from the board of accountants as to their findings. While the supposition is that they are all o. k., yet they feel that they ought to know. But

the law, while it may have some good points about it, and no doubt has, yet it is considered by the trustees 'of tne county as being on the whole entirely too drastic' and in a degree vicious. That it needs radical changing to make it what it ought to be. After this question was disposed of, it being almost noon, we adjourned forty-five minutes for dinner. Promptly at 12:30 we reconvened, ready for business. Some of the objects discussed in the afternoon were: Township or implement houses, advertising for'supplies for school or township, the ditch law and its workings, especially that portion of the law that refers to cleaning out ditches. Having received an invitation from Mr. Ray to go out on one of the outstreets and witness the working of one of the road drags (the kind he sells), the association concluded to accept his invitation and went in a body after passing the following resolution and fixing the time and place for the next meeting: "Resolved, That we extend our heartfelt thanks to the people of Berne tor their uni-1 form, courteous treatment of us dur-! Ing our short stay here, and especially tp the town officials for tendering to us the use of the town hall as a meeting place for our association." The above resolution was unanimously adopted. Then, as above stated, we adjourned to see the road drag on a try-out. We found that although the ground was dry and in places hard, yet the drag did splendid work, with but two horses hitched to it. Our verdict was ’ that the road drag is another thing that has come to stay. That more good can be done with one of them jn a short time than in most any other way. Besides they make a good oval road bed, smooth and not so liable to become dusty as roads do which are worked with a grader. This was a very interesting meeting of the trustees and we believe a profitable one. There can be nothing lost by an exchange of Ideas and notions. Every trustee present seemed to enjoy himself to the limit and was glad he was there. Brother Trustee, you cannot afford to miss these meetings. The next meeting will be held in Decatur June 14, 1910. We left the matter of place of meeting with Mr. Butler to arrange. Let every trustee in the county be present at this meeting. Respectfully, JOHN T. KELLY, Sec’y. o Indianapolis, Ind., May 13—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Barney Oldfield, as a drawing card, is not wanted in the automobile races scheduled to be held at the Indianapolis speedway soon.

Pointers on Poultry. Mrs- D. A Brooks, Sturgis, Ky., says: T have been using Bourbon Poultry Cure and think it is the best poultxy remedy I have ever used. If you will get our druggist here to luindto it I enn recommend it I am an old hand at raising chickens and so many come vi me for pointers on poultry. Sold by H. H. Bremerkamp. Judge Merryman last Friday rendered his decision in the partition case of Laura Van Camp vs. Charles and Hubert Van Camp, thus disposing of the legal tangle which surrounded the estate of the late Anson VanCamp. The suit to set aside the will will be dismissed and the property sold and tne proceeds thereof divided among the heirs. The decision will cover several pages of record. In it the court finds for the plaintiffs, that Mrs. Van Camp is entitled to a life estate in the undivided one-third of the real estate and each of the children to . one-fifth of the balance; that the property is undivisable and that a sale is therefore necessary, wherefrom Mrs. Van Camp is to receive $5,250, the estimated value of her life estate. The property is estimated to be worth $22,500, less mortgages for about SB,000, and the other debts will total several thousand dollars, but these will be partially if not wholly offset by the proceeds from the sale of the personal property. According to these figures each of the five children will receive a sum of from $1,500 to $2,000. The real estate was ordered sold at private sale, after four weeks* notice has been given, and Henry B. Heller and'J. C. Sutton 4 were named by the court as commissioners to conduct said sale, their bond being fixed at $40,000. The property includes the Van Camp residence and the next one to it north, on First street, the flour mill on First street, the foundry on North Seventh street and the old Lynch factory property in the southwest part of town. o —— Believed the Crop Will Not be Much Below the Average. Fort Worth, Tex., May 13—(Specto Daily Democrat) —Late reports from the Texas Commercial Secretaries’ association state that the loss in North Texas to the cotton and fruit crops from the late cold spell will not be as large by far as first reported by the newspapers. In fact they state indiclatiens are now for a crop not so much below the average, as sufficient cotton seed came forward for replanting, and many fruit trees at first thought badly damaged soon recovered and will bear. South' and central Texas show little effect of the freeze', that in northern states caused much havoc. While north Texas has an occasional freeze scare in winter and spring, actual results have proved that Texas must be classed as a sure crop state. o The mock trial held by the students of the commercial department of the Decatur high school yesterday afternoon drew a large crowd of appreciative auditors. One attorney who was in attendance paid them a very high compliment by saying that he had heard some real attorneys who did not do so well as those inexperienced boys. The evidence was heard yesterday afternoon and this afternoon the pleas were given and the jury charged.
