Dawson, pastor Os the Christian church, was a very surprised man Monday evening at 6 o’clock, When, after befiig called away from home on some pretext Os a visit with Grandfather Artihan to the west part of the City, he returned to his home and found/' hidden to the inner light of -the darkened house, a company of fifty-one members of his congregation awaiting to extend greetings to him. in honOr of his forty-first birth anniversary, which, however, occurred the day before, Sunday, November 27th. The good man, who is so fluent in the pulpit, was simply too surprised to say a word when at first he realized the import of the assembly, so it was their turn to make the most of the situation by expressing to him their esteem and Sieto , best . wishes: for many returns of the event. He soon recovered, howeyer, and joined heartily ip the gQod/time that followed. The tables hap been set during his absence with ail good things that "make a royal feast—chicken and other good things which are supposed-to be just to the taste of ministers —but which everybody else likes, too, and for which Grandfather Artman, as the patriarchal head of the company, gave thanks before partaking thereof.. The center of the table, at which the minister and wife were seated, with others, was adorned with a large birthday 'cake, bearing the minister’s JnHtals and the symbol Os his' years, "41.” On account of the weather, not as many attended as would have liked, but those who braved the Weather were Mr. and Mrs. Will Ramey and children, Joe Beefy, Mrs. C. J. Weaver, Mrs. George Steele and daughter, Jeanette; Mrs. Will Parr, Mr. and Mfrs. Jacob Eady and daughters, Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Williams and children, Mr. and Mra John Barnett and son, Ms. and Mrai E'.

I - . > ■ 'J ' -- ■ A good roads meeting w® be held in every county- in Indiana Saturday, December 3rd, according to the plans of the Indiana Good Roads’ association. Letters have been received here by a number of citizens appointing them delegates to the American Good Roads Congreqs in Indianapolis December 6th. tn 9th, and asking them, to intereaf others in organizing a local good roads association in this county on Saturday preceding the congress. The suggestion is that a general meeting be palled to which all citizens in the county who are interested in obtaining* better roads for Indiana shall be invited and that short addresses be made by those present. The Indiana Good Roads Association offers to furnish information and data if application is made*to the secretary, Will J. Dobyns in the Board of Trade Bihldtog at Indianapolis. At these various county meetings organizations are to be perfected with the usual officers and all delegates elected to the American Good Roads Congress to Indianapolis will receive credentials , from the headquarters. The real purpose of the organization

.■.I! li. 1 ... 11 ■ I I. ■" however, is to help crystalize sentL ” ment in the various communities in favor of such legislation by the gener- , al assembly in January as will make, better roads possible. 11 vV . . The county organizations will be affiliated with, the state association and the officers of the local branches& will be kept fully informed of tho. --- progress of the campaign. While it la not anticipated tbwttaere will be serious objectjpm ip legislature to the measure which will be presented still th© united influence of the various county organizations will lend moral support to the members ofthe general assembly. A representative - or a senator who feels that he is backed by the voters erf his district will be a strong advocate' of good roads legislation. ' : -1 A number of counties have already formed their organization and have sent the names of ,their officers and delegates to the state headquarters. Petitions addressed to the governor and the general assembly asking for the enactment 'of a law creating a state highway commission and providing for state aid in road construction are usually circulated at thesq. meetings, and a number of blank petitions have been received by those in this county who have asked to form the local organization. These petitions are being filed and classified by counties ready for presentation when the general assembly convenes in January. z • > ; ■ ••■0 ————■ How does your subscription stand?" ’ It is important that you have your n subscription to the Daily and Weekly Democrat paid in advance.
