The girls of the Florhul de Purin club, including Grace Purdy, Dessie Mann, Huldah Loser, Flora Fledderjohann, Inez Coverdale, with other guests, Estella Chronister and Nellie Nichol’s, spent a delightful evening with Miss Florine Edwards.

Moses erf Fort Wayne will also be a uueat ® — ...er Funeral nervices for Mrs. Catharine Smith, mother of Jesse Smith of this city, whose death, as stated In Saturday evening’s Democrat, occurred Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of her sou in Bluffton, were held Sunday. A short prayer service was held at the residence on Jersey street In Bluffton, in charge of tnc Rev. W. W. Martin of the First M. E. church, ttnd the funeral party left on the 8:48 car over the Fort Wayne & Wabash Valley traction line for Monroeville, where they arrived about 11 o’clock, and then proceeded to the East Liberty M. E. church, where the funeral services were held, burial taking place in the cemetery near Monroeville. The Bluffton News gives the following details relating to her life and death: ‘‘Mrs. Catherln Williams Smith, aged eighty-three, passed away at 4 o’clock Friday afternoon at the home of her son. W. O. Smith, beter known as Charles Smith, on South Jersey street. Her death was due to the severe shock sustained when she tripped and fell two weeks ago Friday night, on January 13th, and one of her legs was broken. At the time she was preparing to retire for the night and her feet became entangled in some of her clothing and she received a very hard fall. On account of her advanced age she could not make recovery from the shock, and from the time of the accident little hope was given for her, and she gradually weakened until death came to her as a welcome relief. ‘‘Mrs. Smith was a native of Pennsylvania, and was born in Westmoreland county, that state, on August 4, 1827. She was living in Holmes county, Ohio, when she was united in marriage on January 21, 1848, to Elias Smith. They came to Indiana a few months after their marriage and for many years were residents of Adams county, and lived on a farm near Monroeville. In their declining years they removed to Decatur, and made their home with their children. Elias Smith, the husband, died twelve years ago at the home of his son, W. 0., or Charles Smith, who at that time was a resident of Decatur Since his death Mrs. Smith had made her home with her children. “There were ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. Elias Smith and six preceded Mrs. Smith in death. The four surviving children are W. O. Smith and John W. Smith of this city, Jesse Smith of Decatur and Mrs. Mary Jane Ellison of St. Charles, Mo. One sister, Mrs. Mary Ellifrits, lives in Rosedale, Mo., and one surviving brother, Jesse Williams, lives in Decatur. All of Mrs. Smith’s children were at her bedside when she passed away. “In addition to those named above Mrs. Smith is survived by exactly one hundred other descendants. There are forty-seven grandchildren and fiftythree great-grandchildren. “Mrs. Smith was ever highly esteemed for her many excellent qualities and was revered by the wide circle of relatives and intimate friends who were gathered about her. She had long been a faithful member of the Liberty M. E. church, near Monroeville, Adams county.” o— Adams county poultry men centainly carried away their share of the prizes from the poultry show which closed at Muncie Saturday evening. Nearly 1620 birds were on display. Albert Deßrot of Berne made a brave showing and scalped the ribbon bunch, bringing home a large number to add to his already fine collection. Out of sixty-five Barred Plymouth Rock cockerels, he won first prize and also won first on pen, and third on hen. There were nearly two hundred Barred Rock entries. W. A. Fonner and Charles Magley of Root township also made good showin. Mr. Fonner had his fine M. B. turkeys there, and while there was not much competition in the way of numbers, there was in quality, as the two birds shown against his carried off the first prizes at Indianapolis recently, and Mr. Fonner was more elated when his exhibits were awarded the first prize for cock, first for cockerel, first for hen, third and fourth for hen, first for pullet, and second for cock —sweeping nearly everything. Charles Magley’s display was of Rose-comb Brown Leghorns and he had the misfortune to lose his best cockerel by death at the show. In a large class of entries he was awarded fourth on cockerel and third on hen. o Clayson Carroll went to Ft. Wayne this morning, where, with Fred B. Tague, of that city, formerly of Decatur, he will complete matters relative to the opening of their new shoe store. It is thought that this will be ready to throw open to the public by Saturday of this week. The new store is located on Calhoun street, just across from the Heidelberg, and has been rearranged in a thoroughly up-to-date manner. They have been delayed somewhat by the non-arrival of their new fixtures, but these are expected this week and will no doubt be installed before Saturday. They are at present marking the stock and

attending to details preliminary to opening. Aioth Mr. Tague antUMr. Carroll have the best wlshen of their Mijpt of Decatur friends in their ne» business undertaking. Susanna J. Brown, wife of George W. Brown of Nuttman street, passed into eternal life Sunday morning at 3:55 o'clock, at the age of sixty-five years, two months and fourteen days. The calling of Mrs. Brown was not unexpected at this time. She had been suffering from asthma for the past two years, and lately complications of heart trouble were added, making her decline the last several weeks most rapid, and one that welcomed the relief of death. The demise of this good lady has caused universal and sincere sorrow. She was born November 15, 1845, in this county, where her acquaintance is very large. She was the daughter of Enos and Sarah Mann, who have long since preceded her in death. She was united in marriage February 20, 1868, in this city to George W. Brown, their married life being a long and happy one. To them were born three children. One died in infancy, and two —Elsie, wife of Tony Roebuck, of east of this city, and William, living south of this city—survive, with the father, to grieve over the loss of a loving and faithful mother and wife. 1 Mrs. Brown has but one brother living, Elijah Mann, of this city. Two brothers have passed before in recent years, they being Harlo and Ashley Mann, and a number died in youth. Mrs. Brown has "been a faithful and consistent Christian since the age of ten years, when she identified herself with the M. E. church, and later becoming a member of the Christian Union church Mr. and Mrs. Brown resided south of the city near the St. Paul’s church for many years, coming to this city to live last October sth. The funeral was held Tuesday morning at 10:30 o clock at the Evangelical church. Burial in the Decatur cemetery. o STETLER BABY DEAD. Three-Year-Old Son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Stetler Died Saturday. Cecil Oilver, three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Stetler, passed away at the family home, six miles east of this city, just on the state line, and one-half mile from the town of Watt Saturday evening at 8 o’clock. Three weeks ago the little one took sick and was taken to a physician. Shortly afterward abscesses of the head set in and from that time gradually grew worse until relieved by death. He leaves to mourn his loss besides the father and mother one brother several years his senior. Funeral services were held Monday at 10 o’clock from the house and interment was made at the McClure cemetery. o “THE MAN ON THE BOX.” A superb company of players will be seen at the Bosse opera house on Thursday, February 2, in a splendid revival of Harold McGrath’s classic story, “The Man on the Box,” dramatized by Grace Livingstone Furniss. This play ran over 200 nights in New York and was an instantaneous and decided hit from the moment of its first production, and has in no degree lost any of its pleasing powers to catch and hold in its entrancing and fascinating spell the hearts of its hearers and delight them with its strong heart interest, its delicious, high-class comedy, as pure and rich as the crisp and sparkling wit, fresh from the pen of a master hand, who has in one grand stroke, reached every passion of; the human soul. The piece will be correctly staged and costumed in every detail. The book has been widely read, and as the play closely follows the book, it will be on evening of rare entertainment for all. e BLUFFTON VS. DECATUR. Phi Delta Kappas’ Basket Ball Game Wednesday. The Decatur Phi Delta Kappas newly organized basket ball team, which has been practicing diligently for some time, will play its first regular game Wednesday evening with the Bluffton Phi Delta’s team at the high school athletic room in this city. A large crowd from Bluffton is expected to witness the game. o FORT WAYNE TEAM Fifty or sixty of the American Yeomen will come down from Ft. Wayne Tuesday afternoon to do the initiatory work for a large class of ten or fifteen candidates from this city. A banquet will follow the initiation and a good time is anticipated. «■ o Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S ©ASTORIA

The union meeting at the Evangelical church Tuesday at 2 p. m. will be in charge of Rev. Imler. Every person who appreciates the uplifting influences of the churches should co-op-erate in the efforts of these days. “In His name we go against this multitude.” . The revival meeting which is being held at the Evangelical church is quite interesting. One more young lady came forward Sunday evening and sought Christ as her personal : Savior. We are glad for the success that has come, but there are many 1 more who should avail themselves of ■ the present opportunities. There will be services tonight at 7:30 and up to ' Wednesday evening at least. Every- ' body will be welcomed in these spec- ■ ial meetings. _ < Notwithstanding the disagreeable ' weather there was a good attendance at all the services at the Methodist church Sunday. In the morning there was a joint meeting of the Sunday school and congregation. The pastor gave a short address to the children. This was followed by an address on “How to Promote a Revival of Religion,” at the conclusion of which there was a short testimony meeting. At the evening service, Mr. J. S. House, a traveling salesman, and Mr. Edward Reed, a hotel man, of Fort Wayne gave interesting talks on their experiences in the Christian life, and gave unmistakable evidence that they are happily on the way in the service of the Lord. The revival meetings will continue this week, and a cordial invitation is extended to all to attend. Rev. Randall Spurlock of Cincinnati, Ohio, conducted excellent services at the Presbyterian church Sunday morning and evening. He will preach again next Sunday morning. o Democrat Want Ads Pay. —o — Foleys Kidney Pnis Bacmacmc Kiomevs and Blaodco —o CASTOR IA For Infanta axd Children.
