A BIRThOAV POEM Another clever little poem of the many written by Mr*. J. D. Huie la the following written three years ago on the third birth anniversary of her little granddaughter, Carolyn Parker, February 26. 1903: And so you're three years old they say, 1 can hardly believe It true. It seems to nte but yesterday. Since first I looked at you. Your face was wee and round and wry. And I fancied a little sad You knew not whether to laught or cry. Or just be happy and glad That, the stork had dropped you ;n his flight, Taking with him troth your wings. But you were strong and good and right. And made the best of things. And no one ever dare tell Grandma You’re not sweeter than you look. But ain't you coming here some day ? I feel like one forsook. A little jacket trimmed with white. *ls waiting now for thee. And a stunning pair of bloomers That fasten at the knee. And the cutest little bathing' suit. To w ear when you roll off the dock. For you must never go a diving. In your pretty Sunday frock. Now if you don’t come and get them. The fault's not yours, I know; So I’ll send them by the postman, But he is awful slow. Rome City. Ind. “Absence makes the heart grot . s ghed more than one Decatur man who hereafter will have mote appri ciaticn for the services of the old court; ouse clock. It is again on duty alter a several days rest or enforced “strike 1"’-lr.g the time when Harry Jeffrey and M. Hensley were cleaning and retairing it. Nobody knows l:ow much he depends upon the good old time piece, until he has to do without it for awhile. Mr. Hensley stated that be cleaned the old clock about twenty years ago. and the thorough overhauling given it this week was ' much needed. The hands had differed from one to seven miutes on all four of the faces, making the old clock a four faced hypo rite, however much against its will. This was remedied but Mr. Hensley stated that it would be several days before it could be pro- ' periy regulated. Mr Jeffrey has the contract for the keeping of the clock ' in shape for a year and they will do all in their power to keep it In first class condition and give good service, that is, if it is in the power of the clock which is now about forty years old, to do so. Mr. Hensley stated that it was in fairly good shape, *-x- 1 rept for the cable err the strike side, witich holds the weights. This heavy wire, is so rusted tha' he considers it really dangerous in that it is likely t give way at any time and send down 1 the thousand pound weight, which would probably fall through to the basement. Any person who might be in i s way, would undoubtedly be in danger of death. Mr. Hensley is considering asking the county commissioner sto provide a new cable, deeming it to the beat interest of public safety to do so. "Are you eloping?” was the oil’s ticn asked of Mrs. Mary Sutilef, the jolly and well known lady as this city, formerly of Berne, and Mr. John Bauman of Monroe township, who boarded the 1 o’clock interurban car, and gave Hillsdale, Mich.—that Gretna Green for the Decatur wedding eoupl.s—r.s their destination. , “Does it I ’ok like we are eloping—- '.. t.sad dayl'ilit?' asked Mrs. Sutilef, r s she smiled mysteriously, but looked exceptionally pleasant over the cuestlcn. Moreover she looked exceedingly "brldey” ’a spite of her years, with her neat black coat with its white point-lace collar and cuff f r-t to match. When asked whether she had anything- more to divulge as to the nature of their trip, and whether it was a prospective wedding journey, she stated that the people had told them so long ago. and that it was not a matter of news any more. They stated that they had nothing to give out now but would have upon their return, all of which lead their friends to believe that they would be wedded at Hillsdale. StakWl en asked whether they would no: drop their Decatur reporters and * mends a postal card telling of the wedding, Mrs. Sutilef jovially remarked that they could tell more about it .■ hen they got back, than they could write on a postal. Decatur friends will anxiously await the announcement in person. Vnion and Root townships will hold a joint Sunday school convention at the Concsrd Lutheran church in Root

Joseph Whitehead, aged seventynine years, three months and two days, died this morning at 2 o’clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. William Swing, a mile south of Rlvarre. Mr. Whitehead had suffered eight years from heart trouble, to which were added other complications which his great age could not withstand, and he gradually grew weaker and weaker until relieved by death. He was a native of Butler county, Ohio, born March 5, 1833, and had lived in Adams county about ten years. He was marriel in young manhood to Miss .sane DeArmond, whose death occurred about four years ago. Since her demise he has lived with his daughter. Four children were born to the union, two of whom passed away many years ago. Besides Mrs. Swing, he is survived by one son, John Whitehead, of near Geneva, and three sisters —Mrs Elizabeth Hollowell of Harrison, Ohic; Mrs. Joshua Stone of Toledo. Ohio: M-s. Ellen Freeland, of Okeana, Ohic. Mr. Whitehead vas a prominent man. highly esteemed, and his death is a matter of grief to all who knew him. The funeral will be he J Sunday morning at 10 o'clock from the United Brethren church at Rivarre, and burial will be in the Mt. Tabor cemetery. The Sam Hite South End grocery v. as entered and robbed some time during Thursday night by robbers as yet unknown, they securing between nine and ten dollars for tbeir trouble.

Their entrance was effected through s a back window in the stock room, a 1 a pane of which they broke out after ’■ cctting the putty from the sash. 1 Crawling through this enr.-ance they 1 next openel the rear sliding door, pre- 1 sttmably to give a means of exit in < cr.se of z surr.ise and proceeded on ’ .heir vay Into ire store. Here they < directed then attention to the cash register, where by the use of a jimmy they pried It open, breaking the top 1 marble and bending the frame, perms- 1 neatly destroying the usefulness -o' 1 the machine. In the register they 1 found the above named amount in 1 change, it being Mr. Hite's custom to : lock all the large in the safe over night. The goods were thrown from the shelves, and in o’”.- 1 er ways the robbers made themselves welcome. A hurried Invoice of the stock this morning did not reveal any losses in this direction, although they ■ may have secured considerable bounty in this way. The bunglesome manner of entrance stamps it as home talent, or st least inexperienced, and it is thought that clue now in the hands of the police will lead to startling results. The similarity of this robbery to that which was pulled off at the Yahue grocery some time ago is an effective fact in the hands of the police and this with the other facts secured will probably give a close line on the perpetrators. The time of night in which the work was pulled off is not known as none of the neighbors heard anything | during the night, nor was the discovery made until the grocery was opened by the clerk this morning. When Miss Bess Baumgartner entertained the Entre Nous club girls Thursday evening at their last meet!ng of the season, it also being her birthday anniversary, she took occasion to announce to her nearest and dearest girl friends the first news of her engagement to Mr. Ben Welker of Delaware, Ohio, a former Decatur boy. The little coterie of friends were invited to a 6 o'clock dinner party at t tbe home of her parents, Mr. and

Mrs. L. L. Baumgartner, on Fourth street, where dainty pink and white decorations were In order for the birthday dinner. The table was unusually pretty. The centerpiece was a handsome silver candelabrum In which glittered pink candles. At each cover on a |>ink tissue mat. were ervstai candlesticks with pink candles, and white roses nt each cover were favors. Guests were: Lilah Lachot, Jennie Ernst, Ruby Miller, Electa Glancy, Fearl Purdy. Golda Gay, Matilda Sellemeyer, Ella Mutschler, Mrs. H. 8. Lachot and Mrs C. R. Dunn. The dinner was nicely served In courses, Mrs. Baumgartner being assisted by her daughter. Miss Pearl, and by Miss Jennie Ernst. The guests rather anticipated an announcement party and intimated the fact, but as the dinner progressed and was finished, and still no announcement came, they decided that there would be “nothing doing’ at this time. Mrs. C. R. Dunn returned home after the dinner as she could not be a guest for the remainder of the evening. and the girls were surprised when the telephone bell rang after her departure, and announcement was made that Mrs. Dunn wished to speak to Miss Ruby Miller. She Informed Miss Miller that a paper and pencil were necessary for her message which she wished to give her to give the club members, and Miss Miller complying with her request, wrote down the following happy little announcement: “On my way home I met a fairy Who told me Ben and Bess will marry. “Altho’ the day he Would not tell, It will be soon We know quite well.” This was read to the club girls, who were much surprised when the announcement came at this time and in this way, though they were quite ready and sincere in their expressions of good wishes to her, who has been so mu h beloved by them all. During the evening, music and general conversation, which Jsore much upon the coming wedding, were in order. and the evening was given over to a double extension of felicitations, both for the bride-elect’s birthday anniversary and for her coming marriage. The club presented her on their arrival, with a Decatur pennant and a large bouquet of handsome, velvety American beauty roses, which bore their sentiments to her as the Robert Burns' beautiful poem. "My love Is like a red, red rose.”

Mr. Welker, the prospective groom, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Welker of Van Wert.Ohio.

He is well and favorably known here, and the announcement of his coming mat’lage to Miss Baumgartner will be received with much pleasure by all the friends of the young couple.

The suggestion made in the Monday evening's Democrat by a Son of a eVteran, Relative to the erection of) a soldiers’ monument or shaft for Ad- 1 ams county, is bearing fruit. At the" meeting of the Sam Henry Post of l the G. A. R. Thursday evening the; first steps toward this movement i were taken, when, upon motion of one of their number, a committee of five was appointed. The committee comprises S. B. Fordyce, D. K. Shackley, • F. F. Freeh, L. N. Grandstaff and Joshua Parrish, and they were appointed to call upon the citizens of Adams county to enlist their aid In the building of a soldiers’ monument to be erected in the court house yar 1 in this city, in tribute to the sofdiers who gave the best part of their youth and lives to the defense of this country. -The matter will be carried forward under the direction of the G. A. R. and Sons of Veterans and the aid of all patriotic Adams county citizens will be enlisted in the erection of this just memorial to the soldiers, whose ranks are already becoming I only too thin. Many of the cities, counties and states of the United I States have these memorial shafts, but as yet this county has none, and this new movement is one worthy of the aid of all. When the committee calls be sure to enlist in the movement —but remember that a volunteer enlistment will be all the more appreciated.

These who have to depend upon anthracite coal for the source of winter’s comfort had better make some arrangements toward getting their supply for the next winter during the month of June or else they will have to pay.
