According to instructions received from the agricultural extension derartment of Purdue university, some important changes will be made In lhe manner of arranging for the holding of farmers' institutes in the luture. The new plan proposes that each township, or possibly two townships together, must effect an organization. 'I his is to be done by adopting a constitution, having an enrolled membership at twenty-live cents per member and electing the necessary officers. Under this arrangement, it will be I possible to have a farmers’ Institute In each township or at least in several Places in the county. As will be noticed, a place has been reserved on the program for effecting these local organizations. I would suggest that Magley or Preble, Monmouth, Robo or I leasant Mills and Monroe would be suitable places for holding institutes i next winter, provided of course the I I farmers desire them, and are willing < ■ to organize as that is a positive condi- < I tion. , Now in order that as little time as I [ possible be required with this matter 1 ■ at the institute at Decatur January I i ’ and 5, I suggest that those who are i i interested at these places (or other I • places if those named are not desira- I ■ ble) notify the county chairman by card so that committees can be ap- ■ i Pointed to solicit members, etc., and ' have everything tn shape to organize at the proper time. Or what would be I better still, let those interested in the several townships (this notice applies ot the north half of the county, as the south half will be taken care of at the Rerne institute), call meetings at the i central points, secure the members , necessary and organize as soon as possible. Copies of the constitution 1 will be furnished upon request. i The chairman is ready to render, any assistance in his power to get these local organizations started. | Please bear in mind that the proposed plan come from headquarters and 1 must be complied with in order that ■ we have institutes next winter. ' Programs for the Decatur meeting are now printed, but as it will be pub- 1 lished in the papers from time to ' time, none will be sent out by mail un-1 ; less so requested. Programs may be I received of the county chairman by I request only. Any question cheerfully answered, ,or information furnished. C. S. MUMMA, County Chairman. | _ I , The wedding of Miss Marie Mar-1 . bach, daughter of Chris Marbach, to' i Mr. Rudolph Weiland, son of Fred 1 i Weiland, both parties being promi- 1 | ment residents of Union township, was ' ' a happy affair of Sunday afternoon, j The nuptials were solemnized Sunday I afternoon at 3 o’clock at the Bleeke' church, the Rev. Bauer officiating. I The bridal party was a very lovely one. Tiie bride was most beautiful in a gown of ivory satin. The gown was I made in the nign waist effect and was ■ heavily ' ad richly braided, the feature ! of th-? waist being a large bertha, richly braided. The long veil she wore was caught to her hair with white bride roses and she carried a bouquet of these same pretty flowers. The, bride was attended by the groom’s; cousin, Miss Clara Weiland, of this i city, who was handsomely gowned in 1 a frock of gray, with green satin pip-

ings. and wore in her hair delicate white flowers. The groom's attendant was Mr. Adolph Weiland. A reception and supper given at the home of the bride’s parents was attended by more than one hundred guests, who extended best wishes to the newly married couple, and enjoyed the elaborate entertainment provided for them. The newly married couple represent the best families of the county, and are most highly esteemed. —* MORE SMALLPOX CARDS. A call from Berne to Dr. J. M. Miller, secretary of the county board of health Monday asked for more smallpox cards, the same being duly sent by Dr. Miller. The smallpox, it is said, is spreading from Berne to the surrounding country, and while the cases are said to be light, they are very numerous in Berne and vicinity. It is said no new coses developed in Berne last week. The greatest incon-1 venience is said to result from the [ trouble incident with the quarantine and the confinement to toe house. Postmaster W A. Lower has received from the headquarters at Washington, an interesting pamphlet containing statistics of interest to all, arung them being the population of Indiana by counties and minor civil divisions. It shows that the population of Adams county for the year 1910 was 21,840; for 1900, 22,232, and for 1890, 20,Igl The population by townships and towns, for the year 1910 is as follows: Blue Creek township ....1,168 French Hartford 1,28i ‘ iE Kirkland Monroe township, including town - —1 - ■

J. Smith Sunday received a message of the death of his uncle, Fred Smith, of North Manchester, which occurred Sunday morning at the home of a daughter at Walton, Indiana. The uncle was a half-brother of A. J.I Smith's father, and was the 1 last one of the members of his fa-' ther's family residing in this country. The deceased was about seven-' ty-seven years old and had been as- j flicted with rheumatism for some time which is thought to have been the cause of his death. He was a veteran of the civil war and was a most prominent and highly esteemed man of his communitv. He had often visaed with his nephew, where he became acquainted with many who will' receive the news of his death with sorrow. His wife died about a year ago, and he is survived by four sons , .and four daughters. The funeral will » I , be held Wednesday, and will be attended by both A. J. Smith and broth- ' er, P. W. Smith, of Richmond. CORN AND POULTRY SHOW Will be Held in Wittwer Building, at Berne, January 2,3, 4, 5 and 6.
