'T— ■ MlHg Louisa Brake, who has been on the sick list for several weeks, is much better and will again resume her work the forepart of next week. Mrs. Clint Johnson of Lewistown, < Ohio, daughter of Peter Forbing, this city, who,on Monday underwent an operation for tumors of the stomach, and also for the removal of her appendix, which was deemed necessary, is steadily improving and will, it is believed, get along all right from now on. MS Charles reiimngton will be off duty lor some time until the injury done in getting his sholulder dislocated, mends. Mr. Pennington rode home from his work at the Schmitt packing house and just as he was ready to jump from the rear of the wagon, the I horses speeded up and Mr. Penningj ton fell in such away that the dislo- | cation of his shoulder resulted. That Adams county realty is considered good “pay dirt” —Yhe best productive land in the country, is evidenced by the fact that several important real estate changes of conI siderable magnitude and involving many thousands of dollars, have taken place with the past few days through the D. N. Erwin real estate agency. Andrew J. Powell, a progressive and enterprising man from Belleflower, 111., is one of the many who realize the great possibilities of Adams county soil. Mr. Powell purchased from Margaret Koenig and son, Fred, their 160-acre farm south of this

city on the Monroe road, and also the , 80-acre farm recently purchased by , Dr. Beavers from George Colchin, this farm lying adjoining that of the I Koenigs, and giving Mr. Powell 2401 acres in one block. The land will s | probably be for rent, and a great 1 1 many of the acres will be devoted 1 to the raising of sugar beets. The • lland brought on the average of $l io! an acre, and the total sum being involved in the purchase, thus being $33,600, which is “some money.” Dr. Beavers also purchased the Al Zerkel farm of 80 acres, south of the city, near the St. Paul church, for $10,400. Mr. Zerkel expects to vacate the farm. Through this agency also, Elijah Walters traded his 87-acre farm east of the city to D. B. Erwin, for his 80 acres. That Adams county land is the best in the market is evidenced by the fact that many purchasers are registered from foreign states and counties.

o County Treasurer Charles W. Yager is rejoicing over the good report made by the field examiners of the state accounting board for his office during the year 1910. The net under- | distribution made was $49.49, due to I error, a very small amount, when one I considers the large sums handled and I to be accounted for in this office. The | report says, in conclusion: ! “We find that Mr. Charles Y. YaE ger, county treasurer, to be a very I conscientious official, that his books are correct, excepting the errors noted in this report, and that he is using his best endeavors to follow the law as it applies to his office. We take this opportunity to thank Mr. Yager and his assistants for the kindly' treatment accorded us during this examination. “Respectfully submitted, F. M. WILSON, “WM. R. PRESSNALL, “Field Examiners.” Surveyor C. C. Ernst’s report from I the state accounting board for the examination of his records for the two years, shows the sum of only $4 due the state from his office. The sum as originally given in the report was sl4, but there was an error made by the accountant of $lO, and with this credit given Mr. Ernst, there is due only the sum of $4. TO PLAY BLUFFTON, Decatur Basket Ball Team to Play There December Ist. The initial basket ball game of the season for the local high school team will take place on Friday evening, December Ist, the game to be played ; witli their old rivals, Bluffton, at that

tity. The game will be a fast and classy one, the Bluffton team being composed of a bunch of good players, while the locals have been getting in some good practice to meet their opponents. At present, they are diligently searching for a room to be used for the playing of games here and until this is done all games will have to be played out of the city. They have several booked for the near future* and will try to be near the top of the ladder at the close of the season, or somewhere near it. o The county rally of the Christian Endeavorers will be held in this city tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock, at the Presbyterian church and tomorrow evening at 6 o'clock at the Christian church. The state secretary, I Florence Lanham, of Indianapolis, ' will be present and give addresses, ■' ~7”

Song. Benediction. Senator S. B. Fleming of Fort Wayne was in the city Friday attending a meeting of those interested in

the consolidated paper mills and egg case filler plants, the business of which is directed from this city.. It was decided to move the greater part ■ of the Yorktown plant to this place, ( which will greatly increase the capacj ity of the factory here, and in all De I catur will greatly profit by the consol(idation of all these business concerns, mention of which has previously been made in these columns. Tom Ehinger was made a director and third vice president of the concern. Senator Fleming is one of the busy business men of the state and has varied interests which take money, energy and business capacity to control.. While here Froday he made the announcement that he would again seek the nomination for senator for the joint district of Adams and Allen counties. Senator Fleming has served in the senate for two terms, and is perhaps on more Intimate terms with the ways and means of making laws than any

other man in the state, and it is a - fact, too, that he stood up and took t the count in behalf of more good, s' wholesome legislation than did any ■ ether member of the legislative body. • He is a business man with ideas that > are good, and in all make an ideal ’ member of the Indiana senate. While I there are several here would have lik- > ed to have had an Adams county rep- j resentative, yet they will doubtless, wijlingly submit to the wishes of Sen- ■ ator Fleming. <>. — Today was the last day of the Sep- • tember term of court ana the usual ( rush incident to the closing of the term's business was in order. There will be a two weeks' vacation, the . i November term opening November j 20th. , The county clerk and other officers authorized to do so were busy today , filling out the quarterly pension j vouchers. — Melvin A.

Ehle, former pastor of the local Baptist church, who this week removed to Fort Wayne, where he will assume charge of the pastorate of the South Side Baptist church, will preach his first sermon there tomorrow. The Fort Wayne Sentinel contained an excellent likeness of him . and the following article relating to him: “The new pastor of the new South Side Baptist church, on Indiana aven- 1 ue, between Home and Indiana av- .

i enues, Rev. Charles E. Ehle, will : preach his first sermon in the church , here next Sunday. He comes to this ■ city from Decatur and, with Mrs. .

1 the church now united, aggressive - and working, its membership being increased fifty per cent. “He is a regular contributor to the i . ‘Baptist Observer,’ and a member of j -two standing committees of the state , I ( convention. When asked to what he ( j attributed his success as a pastor, he ' j replied, ‘Christian parents, an earnest ' ■, Christian wife, beloved by all, and ■ | preaching the old-fashioned gospel, , and work.’ “The Southside Baptist church is the child of the First Baptist church, established in that part of the city | Ito meet the needs of the Baptists i residing there.

At 7:30 Satur-1 day evening about twenty invited guests assembled and concealed them- j , selves at his home, awaiting his re- i | turn and as previously planned a i , special friend escorted him home on i ! pretext of wanting to make an errand | to the home. After welcoming the/ : guests a merry evening was spent at various games and the whole crowd I

Keeps Your Stove ‘ ‘Always Ready for Company” A bright, clean, glossy stove is the joy and pride of every housekeeper. But it is hard to keep a stove nice and shiny—unless Black Silk Stove Polish is used. Here is the reason: Black Silk Stove Polish sticks right to the iron. It doesn’t rub off or dust off. Its shine lasts four times longer than the shine of any other polish. You only need to polish one-

fourth as often, yet your stove will be cleaner, brighter and better looking than it has been since you first bought it. Use BLACK SILK ! STOVE POLISH on your parlor stove, kitchen stove or gas stove. Get a can from your hardware or stove dealer. „ If you do not find it better than any other stove polish you have ever used before, your dealer is ; authorized to refund your money. But we feel sure you will agree with the thousands of other up-to-date women who are now using Black Silk Stove Polish and who say it is the "best stove polish ever made." LIQUID OR PASTE ONE QUALITY Be sure to get the genuine. Black Silk Stove Polish costs you no more than the ordinary kind. Keep your grates, registers, fenders and stove pipes bright and free from rusting by using BLACK SILK AIR-DRYING ENAMEL. Brush free with each can of enamel only. Use BLACK SILK METAL POLISH for silverware, nickel, tinware or brass. It works quickly, easily, and leaves a brilliant surface. It has no ecAial for use on automobiles.
