An occasion which will be long remembered was the golden wedding ol Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Barkley at Hoagland Tuesday, February 14th. At the noon hour they repaired to the home of their daughter, Mrs. J. T. Stephenson, where an elaborate four course dinner was served. Both homes were beautifully decorated in a color scheme of white and old sold, and the table with a profusion of white carnations, which were presented to the guests as favors. At the close of the dinner those present were tavoret with Ml ne very fi* after-dinner talks, Ira Barkley of Fort Co o acting as toastmaster The> foll °* ln J toasts were responded to.

They were married fifty years ago at the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Grube near Hoagland, and have figured quite largely in the development of that part of the country. During the past half century some forty years have been spent on their farm near Hoagland. Mr. Barkley is now sev-enty-eight years of age and his wife is sixty-eight. Among the guests in attendance were seven who had been In attendance at their wedding fifty years ago.

Thirty-five members of the German Reformed Aid society and their friends attended the regular business and social meeting at the home of Mrs. John Glancy on Monroe street Wednesday afternoon. Among the business matters requiring attention at this time was the election of Mrs. John Spuller as vice president, succeeding Mrs. Mat Kirsch, who resigned. Following the business period, a luncheon was served. Mrs. Glancy being assisted by her daughter. Miss Opal Robinson, and Mesdames Henry Moyer and Martin Miller. The napkins were daintily decorated in red and gold hearts, appropriate to the valentine season. The good attendance resulted in an unusually good collection, which amounted to |B. Miss Pearl Breiner was a new member received. The “hello girts'' gave a very happy surprise Wednesday evening on one of their ’former number, Mrs. Frank Maley, a bride of a few weeks, the surprise taking place at the home of her parent!, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Shrank. As they were given no privilege of having a “shower” before the marriage, they took the opportunity Wednesday evening and presented tyrs. Maley with a set of handsome table linen, including a fine tablecloth and a set of napkins. This very acceptable gift was presented by Miss Gusta Cramer, the chief operator, who made a very neat little presentation speech. A very pleasant reunion was held and during the evening the luncheon which the girls took with them, and which Mrs. Shrank prepared, was spread picnic fashion on the floor and partaken of with great pleasure. The menu consisted of hot veal sandwiches, scalloped corn, cottage cheese, pickles, fruit salad, cake and coffee. Ben Shrank proved himself the “dpndy, handy” man about the house and did’ all the waiting on the picnickers. The company included besides the guest of honor, Ada and Agnes Murray, Agnes Dutcher, Frances Rademaker, Kitty Fought, Ger-|

trude Omler, Gusta Cramer, Pearl Purdy, Esther Heckman, Mary Stultz, Vera Hammond and Mrs. Frank Carroll. Miss Dessle Mann entertained the girls of the Florhul de Purin Wednesday evening. A number of contests, In one of which the prize was won by Miss Inez Coverdale, were enjoyed, after which a luncheon was served. The club unexpectedly turned into a slumber party, the girls remaining over night at the Mann home This unexpected turn of affairs was due to the fact that one of the club girls. Miss Huldah Loser, was to leave today for Fort Wayne, where she will make her home with her sister, Mrs. Busche, and that this would be the last time she would be with them, at least for several weeks. Mrs. L. B. Boulton of Michigan City was an out-of-town guest, the others being Grace Purdy, Huldah Loser, Flora Fledderjohann and Inez Coverdale. A marriage license was issued to Thomas Johnson, 24, farmer, and Orel Marie Kitson, 21, daughter of William Kitson. Messrs.

At Preble last evening at six o'clock occurred one of the prettiest weddings it has been our fortune to hear of for many days, when Miss Orel Kitson and Thomas Johnson were united in the bonds of holy matrimony, by Rev. Valentine who was ably assisted by the Rev. Bills of Redkey. The wedding was solemnized at the parsonage, after which the party went to the home of Mr. Harve Kitson where the wedding supper was served. Both the young people are well known in this community and the well wishqs of all their friends are extended to them. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Kitson living west of this city, they being former residents of Decatur.

A NEW EDITRESS.

The Herald (E. G. Spade, editor) is handicapped for lack of room and time this week. In its rounds of this community last week, the Stork droped an eight-pound girl in at the Herald home, without saying as much as if you please. The finding of household help is an utter impossibility, and the old man has been pressed into service as a nurse, much to the detriment of the Herald this week. Little Miss Margaret Elizabeth will soon be able to render some assistance, however, then we’ll make up for the present failure. —Willshire Herald. o The First street stables exhibited a very busy throng this morning in making the final preparations for the sale which started at 10 o'clock with Mr. McNabb of Ashland, Ohio, as the auctioneer. Over two hundred and fifty horses are listed for sale and in walking through the barn one wonders where so many good horses can be picked up in the short time of two weeks. The horses are of all kinds, but the heavy draft predominates. The out-of-town buyers were there early looking over the bunch and listing those which they needed for their market. About three hundred spectators were at the barn when the sale opened but in the afternoon the number was materially increased by the addition of a great many farmers from the surrounding country who could not be here for the morning session of the sale. Despite the fact that the dispatches from the eastern markets showed a downward tendency, the management believes the sale will net the best results. With th large lot of the best horses in the county on the block no reason can be offered why the sales should not be the best in the state. Decatur is noted as one of the largest horse markets in the middle west and with only the best grade of stock being offered at every sale we will also be known as the best market in this territory. The sale is still holding forth as we go to press and will probably continue until late tonight, or until all the horses are sold. The stock is bringing fair prices and buying is brisk. o — The fifth and last number of the lyceum course given this fall and winter under the auspices of the Decatur high school seniors will be gften next Wednesday, February 22nd, at Bosse’s opera house by Sidney Landon, the character delineator. Mr. Landon has achieved a national reputation in his character delineation. With the use of wigs and paints, an art of which he is master, he presents speaking likenesses of Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, Longfellow, James Whitcomb

Riley and othw great men, or cleverly delineates characters we meet in our daily life. A press notice says: "Mr. Landon's work Is peculiarly adapted to the needs of the presentday lyceuin platform. While it supplies In the fullest measure the constantly increasing demand for novelty, It posseses in addition to the universally conceded artistic excel- i lence, an innate dignity, grace, and refinement, and has all the fun and variety with the necessary merit to make it worth while.” — to— ------ REITER ENCAMPMENT. Friday afternoon and night tho local order of Odd Fellows will hold their annual district meeting nt which time the encampment degree will be given by the Geneva, Bluffton and Portland lodges. At least a hundred visitors will be present from the nearby towns, which, added to those of this lodge, wil! make about two hundred people for the banquet. The supper and banquet will be served in the K. of P. home it being necessary to have all the floor room in the Odd Fellow building in which to give the work. The Rebekahs have charge of the arrangements for the banquet and are intending to serve a five-course affair. Only the visiting members will be served supper, but all the members are invited to attend the banquet. The committee requests that we ask all the encampment members to be at the hall at 3:00 prompt. The natal days of Washington and Lincoln will be celebrated Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock by the literary societys of the Decatur high school with a patriotic program, as follows, to which tre public, and especially the G.

For many past the people have labored with this improvement in view and this spring the possibility will become a fact. The cellar is now being dug and it will be walled with concrete to support the superstructure, which will be a veneered brick building. The old Pleasant View Baptist church, so many years a land-mark has been moved to make room for the more modern building. The church will be large and commodious, having a church auditorium, Sunday school room, also srndll individual Sundayschool rooms for the primary classes. It will be well lighted by huge artglass windows of modern design. A hot water heating plant has been purchased and will be installed as soon as the building is far enough along to accomodate it. The cost of the structure will be between £even and eight thousand dollars which assures the congregation a modern building in all respects. The mason work will be done by Bert Hawkins, while the carpentering will be performed by Clayton Hoover, the material being furnished by the Decatur Lumber company, of this city. The other contracts pertaining to the erection have not been let at this time. When the new church is completed it will be the most modern as well as the prettiest church in the surrounding country, and the members of this fast growing church is to be complimented on their foresight and initiative in erecting so expensive a building. The church will be ready for occupancy about the first of June and the dedication will in all probability be attended by many of the citizens of Decatur. ■ —o UPHOLDS QUALIFICATIONS. One of the bills recently killed in the legislature was one presented by Smith Askren. providing that the law fixing the qualifications for teachers, be so amended that it be unnecessary for a person to have taken a high school course to secure a license. The matter of lessening the qualifications of teachers, however proved a verp unpopular one and the bill was killed, when it appeared in the house.

Just before dinner today an accident happened in this city, which has perhaps never before been duplicated in this part of the county. A riding pony, owned by a Mr. Gunder, was hitched to a telephone pole at the corner of Jefferson and First street, near the Berling plant, and in its travels around the pole the pony fell in a well. The well is one of the manholes that are made along the course of a sewer to allow of inspection, and it had a wooden cover, which had rotted away sufficiently to break, besides having a thin layer of sod over the top. The well is about four feet in diameter, and about ten feet deep, and is walled with brick. In the bottom was about three feet of black mud. * Spectators saw the horse disapepar and at once ran to its assistance and found it hanging by the halter and floundering in the mud. The animal was loosened and allowed to stay in the well until a block and tackle was rigged to the pole and the men hoisted it to the top. Beyond a coating of black mud the pony was not injured by its unusual experience. Had not some of the men attending the sale been outside of the stable the pony would have probably strangled in its efforts to free itself. o REMOVES ANOTHER CANCER, Dr. C. S. Clark Becoming Weil Known For His Work. That Dr. C. S. Clark is becoming well known as a specialist for the removing of cancers is evidenced from the fact that he has received a case from Fort Wayne, with which he has been very successful. The person afflicted with the cancer of the face, located just below the eye on the left cheek, is Jacob Petzold, residing at 1916 Alliger street, and havingheard of the great success of the local doctor, gave him a call. The cancer was about the size of a dollar, and fell from the face, perfectly clean, bringing all the roots with it. He was here today to have it dressed and is improving nicely, and it will heal all right from now on. — — o DBMOCRAT WANT ADS' PAY BIG
