At thia writing the annual home coming of th* Carter family haa again pesaed into history, having occurred in the Moser grove at Wren. Ohio, August 17. 1911. We are certainly grati fled to announce that thia reunion was unique in the fact that it had the largeat attendance of any reunion yet held by the family, and in showing a deeper Interest and a more fervent apprecla tion of the members’ acquaintance and associations. If the love and assocla tion in our family were ever dorman. as It is so apt to become when there is no combined endeavor to keep it renewed, we are proud to say that our family through its combined efforts is rapidly awakening from thD lethargy. The results of this reunion are certainly evidence that the family ! has rightly grasped the purpose of I these meetings and has no* carelessly ■ conceived of them merely as a place 'to participate in a bountiful dinner. They have a higher and better pur- ; I>ose than that: which purpose should be to strengthen and tighten the bonds of relationship in the family. There is always one thing to be regretted upon these occasions and that is the inability of a number to attend on account of sickness and various other reasons. But yet those present should not allow these undesirable circumstances to mar the pleasure and enjoyment of their meeting, for possibly these obstacles that prevented the few from attending this year will be cleared and allow them to attend next year, at noon a dinner was served composed of a menu sufficiently varied to satisfy the appetite of the most fastidious. For instance there was devil's cake and angel’s food: how could you help but find that which suited you? Then there was mangled chicken and scrambled eggs, but the biggest scramble was to get to mangle the chicken. Well, suffice it to say. that the dainties were beyond description, but to appreciate to the fullest extent needed only a participation in their consumption. Another interesting feature of the occasion was the presence of a number of new and distant relatives and friends. Among these were: Mrs. Elmira Garrison of Columbia City, the only surviving member of the pioneer family of that locality: with her also came her granddaughter. Miss Artie Swinney, of Columbia City, and two nieces. Misses Emma Carter and Beulah Jones, also of Columbia City. Others from a distance were Mrs. Almeda Fellers. Tiffin. Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Carter. Hubbard. Iowa: Mrs. Lacvanne Jones. Mt. Valley, Iowa: Mrs. H. Lindgrin. Chicago, 11l : Mrs. Oliver Johnson, Fort Wayne. Ind.: Miss Goldie Worden. Marion. Ind.: Miss Matnie Brown. Berne. Ind. After rendering an interesting program, composed of m sic, recitations and general remarks, the latter being Eeeponded to eloquently by Uncle D. D. Carter and others, an organization was effected for the coming year as follows: William Bow. er, president: Clark Frisinger. vice president; Miss Nina Medaugh. secretary; C. S. Walters, treasurer: Miss Bertha Carter, corresponding secretary. and committees were appointed: Program, Clark Frisinger. Etta Walters. Wyona Medaugh: arrangements. Wilson Carter, Benjamin Teeple. N. R. Medaugh. The assembly adjourned. hoping for many more enjoyable meetings.—Contributed One of the prettiest weddings of the season was the one which united Miss M tyme Miller and Mr. Roy Ehinger. 1 ne ceremony took place at St. Peter's Catholic church at 9 o’clock, the Rev. Charles Thiele officiating. The church was well filled with the many friends of the young couple, and the palms and potted foliage plants in the chancel formed a pretty decoration for the church. The bride was attended by Miss Rosella Ehinger, a sister of'the groom, and Mr. George Miller, brother of the bride, was best man. The bride wore a beautitul but girlish robe of white crepe de chine, hung over ivory satin, and trimmed with bands of hand embroidery studded with pearls. Orange blossoms formed the garland which held the tulle veil in her hair, and she carried a white prayer gook with markers of white ribbon and orange blossoms. The honor maid wore a gown of pale pink satin and carried an armful of American beauties Following the ceremony a wed <;ng breakfast was served at the horn*’ of the bride's parents in Green street Palms and many garden flowers were used atbout the house in good effects, and a large number of guests were invited to the Informal reception. An elaborate wedding breakfast was served, the bride’s table being decorated with sweet peas and ferns and the handsome bride's cake. In the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Ehinger left for Lake James, where they spent this week. For traveling the bride wore a gown of navy blue satin with a white felt hat. After the first of the week Mr. and Mrs. Ehinger will be at home to their friends at their home in Maumee avenue. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. E Miller of 1628 Green street.

As Herbert Sprung- • i er was doing some soldering on the second floor, the soldering stove, filled with gasoline, leaked and caught fire, ? whereupon Herbert threw it out of the . window in the rear. Albert Neuen- • sch wander happened upon the scene i ( and was going to push the burning s stove farther away into the alley, when i-1 it exploded, knocking him down and I inflicting some burns on one arm. -, Herbert also suffered some small r burns.—Berne Witness b i Earl Deeter and hi. wife committed I I suicide in New lake, near Columbia B, City, Sunday afternoon and their bodk j ies were recovered Monday.

The building of mausoleums in vari-1 ous cities in Ohio, taking the place of cemeteries, seems to be gaining m favor and it is predicted that the time* is arriving when such resting places for the dead will supercede all the old fashioned graveyards. Many people have a horror of being placed beneath the sod and this is the cause for the popularity of the mausoleum, which is built of steel and cement and will t stand for centuries. The caskets are placed in air tight vaults and are thus preserved as long as the building stands. SUMAN FAMILY HAS DIPHTHERIA. Three cases of diphtheria have been reported from the home of D. F. Su-, man who operates the fertilizer plant, just north of the city. One of the cases • is said to be quite serious. There are I several more children in the home. l and as there is no mother to care for them, the condition is said to be one i worthy of sympathy. Mr. Suman is doing the best he can, but is working ' under difficulties. The "contagion" card was posted this morning and the ( health officials will do everything in > their power to prevent an epidemic of the dread disease. —oJust a week ago Sunday morning at 7:40 o'clock pretty little fourteen- j , 1 year-old Rena Tarsha. a resident of Toledo, and of Syrian blood, disap- , peared from her home in that city, , and is known to have come as far west . as Decatur on the morning Clover ( Leaf train. j Soon after her disappearance it was , found that with her. there disappeared, also her friend, a sixteen-year-old, I'American girl.
