RESOLUTIONS IN MEMORIAM. Marcn 31, 1911. To the Officers and Comrades of Sam Henry Post, No. 63, G. A. R.: Your committee on resolutions of condolence in memory of our deceased comrade, R. S. Peterson, respectfully submit the following: It is with sad hearts that we record the death of our esteemed comrade, who departed this life the Ith Inst. A brief sketch of his life as a citizen and soldier is not here Inappropriate. Although too young to go at the beginning of the civil war, he enlisted February 12, 1864, and was assigned with other comrades to Company G, 13th Indiana Cavalry, and appointed first sergeant. In a few days the Thirteenth was sent to Nashville and assigned to guarding the railroad from Nashville to Chattanooga and on south as Sherman’s army advanced to Atlanta, Wheeler and Forests' Confederate cavalry gave them plenty to do to keep them from destroying the trains carrying supplies to the boys fighting their way south. The thirteenth was engaged at the battles of Franklin and Nashville, where the subject of our sketch was slightly wounded, after which they were sent to Mobile, Alabama, afterwards assisting in the assault and capture of Fort Blakley. After which, the war being about over, the regiment w-as sent to Vicksburg, Miss., where he was mustered out of the service with the rank of first lieutenant. After the war he became a citizen of and was one of the forces that secured our railroads and helped to make Decatur. He amassed no fortune, but was loyal to his country, to the interests of the city and devoted to his family and friends; a few things in this life which are worth while. He will be missed by all, especially his family, to whom we extend our heartfelt sympathy in their sorrow. Let us all not mourn without hope for in him we have faith to believe there was a dauntless Spirit that was not born to die; therefore, be it Resolved, That in the death of Comrade Peterson this Post mourns the loss of a comrade who served as its commander and was esteemed by all, the country a brave defender and the community an honorable citizen. And, further, we, as a Post, tender our sincere sympathy to the bereaved family in their sorrow. Resolved, That our Post colors be draped in mourning for thirty days in the memory of our deceased comrade and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved wife and mother, recorded in our Post records. and a copy furnished the city press with request for publication. Respectfully submitted, A. J. TEEPLE, R. D. PETERSON, J. D. HALE, Committee. - - o What promises to be one of the busiest sessions of the board of county ' commissioners for some time was the one which convened at 10 Monday morning. The auditor's office and the commissioners room were crowded with road men, stone agents and others, including many interested one way or the other in the granting of liquor licenses. It was announced, however, that the matter of granting liquor licenses would not be taken up until 9 o’clock Tuesday morning and the crowd thinned out some. The petition of W. A. Fonner and others for a local option election in Root township was found sufficient and the election ordered for Friday, April 28th. Eli and Clay Engle were the successful bidders on two macadam roads, winning over a naif-dozen contractors who wanted the jobs. The bids were as follows: Almond Schafer Road. A. J. Case $6,774.00 L. O. Bears 6,675.00 Eli and Clay Engle 6,370.00 Chris Mysser 7,428.00 Merryman & Fugate 7,000.00 Wheat & Sisk 7,500.00 Charles Schnltz was appointed superintendent. Joseph Chrisman Road. Wheat & Sisk $6,615.00 W. V. Buckmaster 6,987.00 Eli and Clay Engle 6,198.00 L. O. Bears 6,299.00 Chris Musser 7,110.50 Joseph Chrisman was appointed superintendent. —— County Treasurer C. W. Yager filed his monthly report which was approved. The board also approved the report of the overseer of the poor for Jefferson township. The petition of Reuben Schnitz and others for a drain was approved and the drain referred to C. C. Ernst as superintendent of construction. CHARLEY BROWN HERE TODAY. Charley Brown, member of the firm of Brown & Brown, real estate deal- ' era, located at Geneva, was here to-

day, attending the commissioners’ session and attending to a land deal he has on here. Charley has been in the barber business at Geneva for twenty-four years, and recently lot tiled a partnership with B. S. Brown in the real estate business. Both boys | are hustlers, who go after the busi- ■ ness and get it and they are delighted I over their prospects. They expect to I soon have the best land agency in Adams county. They buy, sell and rent. — o NEWS FROM COURT HOUSE. Emil Erhart vs. Mary Neaderhouser, administratrix, claim, $657.50,. cause continued. • State of Indiana vs. Harvey Springer, two charges, plea of guilty on first, fined SIO.OO and sentenced U> jail for thirty days. Other case dismissed. A marriage license was issued to Alva Clayton Smith, 22, teacher at Berne, and Emma Bixler, 21, music Instructor, Berne. A GOOD MEETING. A brief but interesting and profitable session of the St. Aloysius society of the St. Mary’s church was held at the Knights of Columbus hall Sunday afternoon immediately following the vespers and business, relative to improvements under way pertaining to the church, was looked after and advanced another step, from a meeting held but a short time previous. Father Flaherty was in charge and the tesults of the work under way for several months, will soon be accomplished. o WILL HAVE APRON SALE. The Helping Hand society of the German Reformed church is arrang- ■ ing to hold an apron sale next Satur day in the building on Second street i formerly occupied by the Bowers millinery store. The ladies will have for • sale some very nice aprons, sleeve ■ lets, rompers, children's aprons, and i other articles of clothing on which , they have been working for some ; time, and in addition will have a pas- , try sale. They ask the patronage of • the public. o COAL FAMINE. » — j Decatur is in the stress of a coal • famine, there not being a pound of - hard coal in the city, and several hunj dred users of the coal clamoring for -a supply. The unexpected sold snap, < followed closely by this heavy snow. has eaten up the meager savings of the more provident and now none have the wherewith to get warm. The assurances of the coal dealers that they will have a supply in a few days is all the satisfaction the people can get and “does not warm up very . fast," as a joker remarked. r o } IS HE A BENEDICT? r ’ » There is still much doubt about the 1 verity of the article recently publish- - ed by the Bluffton papers regarding s the marriage of Lawrence Green of f this city to a Bluffton young lady. , Lawrence says that it is not true and f that every time he goes to Bluffton > the reporters there havp been pester--1 ing him by asking him whether he was married. The last time he was over the reporter again held him up I and asked him whether it was true i and he answered: “Well, I suppose t you know," and he states that that , is how he supposes the story got out. The Bluffton paper claims to have also interviewed the young lady and got the facts from her, but the family here is inclined to think that she re--1 plied in the same joking way that Lawrence did. > o MRS. BLAZER SICK. J Mrs. Elwood Blazer, who has been ( working at the Randall hotel, Fort Wayne, has returned to the city, she I having taken sick while at that place j and forced to return home for better care. Although her illness is not of a serious nature, she is quite ill at the present time and will have to remain j at home for a while at least. > ( TRUE & RUNYON IMPROVEMENT. • The space devoted to the china department of the True & Runyon store which department has been closed out recently, is being given over to ! the dry goods department and workmen were today engaged in making the necessary changes. The shelving room will be increased and the countters extended west in order that a new show case may be installed at j the east end. 1 ' ° , Clem Heidefnann was at Geneva today looking after business pertaining to the new mitten factory, which will be opened there in a very shoH time. , Children Cry i.

Decatur is to have a band this summer and the first steps relative to this movement were made known this morning by those in charge, who are already working hard to make it a wanner and one that the city can well feel proud of. Ed Lawson, a talented musician, who previous to his coming here, had been the leader of bands and orchestras at several places has been selected as the leader, arid who will devote much time to the advancement of this much-desir-ed movement. Sixteen have already expressed their wish of becoming members and Mr. Lawson wishes to announce that if there are any others having musical instruments caring to become members, he would be glad to have them join. They wish to get as many as they can and give Decatur some real good playing. They will make a selection of a room and after this is done will announce a meeting, when they will begin practice and get in proper shape to furnish music on all occasions during the summer when called upon. It is a real go and with a little support on the part of the business men they will be able to carry out their plans as desired. o JUST IN TIME. Did John Brown Enter His Room to Find Starting Fire. John Brown, who rooms just above the Democrat office, came very near having a fire Monday, which was discovered just in the nick of time. He had placed a cardboard cover across the chimney opening in the wall, and which comes over the place where Mr. Brown has his bed. This morning, during his absence from the room the cardboard caught fire from being overheated by the fire below his room and fell upon the bed. Just as it began blazing on the bed Mr. Brown entered the room and no doubt prevented what might have been a loss to the building, besides destroying the belongings of the room. o Besides the inspection of the lodge by Miss Leverton of Huntington a class of two candidates will be initiated this evening. There will be re freshments served, and a good program of entertainment, otherwise carried out. All Pythian Sisters, as well as Knights of Pythias, who are members of the order, are expected to be at this evening’s meeting. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
