| Mias Heller, aislatant secretary of , the Old Home Week association, is 1 , sending out Invitations at the rate of about one thousand per day, and the namas are (tin coming in. She asks i us to again call attention to the fact that addresses should In all cases be I I where possible accompany the name ! I If you cannot find It, she will do her J | best to do so, but this inconvenience should be saved her if possible. The first official acceptance to an Invitation to attend , the Old Home Week was received today from "Our Dick," his letter being as follows: “Ft. Wayne, Ind., Aug. 14. ".Mr. French Quinn, Decatur, Ind.: "Dear Friend:—l am in receipt of your invitation to come 'Home' to Decatur and spend a week with you. I shall take great pleasure in doing so and shall lay aside all business cares for the week. I thank you for the invitation. Yours truly, "R. K. ERWIN." Wo received a letter this morning from Frank Schumaker, now employed in the New Andwur Hotel at Elyria, Ohio. "Schucks'' is a live one and proves that allegation by enclosing in the letter a big dollar bill. He says he will be unable to attend the bail game to be given as a benefit for the fund, but he wants to help and sends his bit. That's the spirit and if others would follow in this substantial way It would sure be appreciated. You're all right, Schucks, and we hone you make a million dollars. The sending of his money convinces us of two things, namely, that the young man loves his old Decatur town, and that he is public-spirited •rr- wuvm

T'ut- members of the invitation committee bhould not overlook the fact] that they are to meet Friday evening ■ at the library. There are eighty members and we expect you to be present. ‘ —French Quinn, Chairman. 1 Miss Mabel of this city and ' Miss Osee Armstrong of Marion, talented elocutionists, were on the program for impersonations, duets and pantomimes at the old settlers' meeting at Ridgeville. Miss Lucile Gillig had Miss Fanchon Magley as her guest at supper last evening. Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Schamerloh of Union township will give a party Saturday evening in celebration of Mr. Schamerloh's birth anniversary. Miss Marie Bultemeler of this city will be among the guests. The Presbyterian ladies, in goodly number, attended the meeting held at • the home of Mrs. James Hain. Among the matters given attention were plans ] for the holiday bazaar to be held in I December. I The annual reunion of the Ray fam- | ily was held at the fair grounds at | Portland Thursday and Hosea Ray j and family of near Pleasant Mills were among the attendants. At the noon hour a delicious picnic dinner was enjoyed by nearly one hundred present. Among others from this county in attendance were: Mr. and Mrs. William Nelson and children, Mrs. Jacob Martz, from Geneva; Mrs. Minnie Keesaer, Omar Lewellyn and family, Otto Franz and family, William Hendricks and family, all from Berne; Otis Ray and family, Eli Ray and family, Mrs. Shelby Ray and son and daughter, Wilda Ray, Forest Ray, Mrs. Sarah Spencer, all from Monroe. —o- • The Zion Lutheran Synod of the Central district, and comprising the states of Indiana, onio and Kentucky, which just closed at Indianapolis, selected for their next meeting place Fort Wayne. The session, as this year, will be held in August, and already plans are being made for the annual event. A number of ministers from this county were in attendance for the week's meeting and state it as being one of the most beneficial meetI ings ever held, and the largest attendI ed in many years. Henry Gunsett, I who was appointed a delegate from the local Zion church, will make a report of his trip in the near future, covering the work in brief and give I points which will be of great benefit to I the congregation. A report of the I synod on Tuesday’s session showed that they had no outstanding debts and a surplus of nearly $30,000 in the i treasury. The synod also decided to turn over the fund to the general synod which covers the whole Un- ' ited States. The various committees I also made their reports and many I i minor actions were discussed and ap- ’ i proved of. ■ i A part of the session on Tuesday I I was spent by the synod in hearing the ' 1 conclusion of a paper by the Rev. G. ' Schurnm of Lafayette, who explained further why he thought Lutherans should disapprove of secret orders which have religious practices in connection with their rituals. Mr. Schurnm said: “Lodge religion wants to know nothing of one common confession of doctrine and faith, the doctrine concerning Jesus Christ and the faith in Him, but would stand as a religion, I • •- ‘

i or creed, in which the various faiths or religions find what t#ey seek and may abide therein. ’’ Leo Faurot, a student preparing for i the priesthood at Cincinnati, Ohio, and i who assisted here at the services at I the St. Mary’s church on Thursday, i left this morning for Monroe to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Faurot. Kenyon Walters and Cecil Cole left yesterday for Conneaut, Ohio, and Cranesville, I’a., where they will visit with the families of Ernest and V,”llard Suttles. They will ulso visit in other cities and expect to have a most enjoyable two weeks' vacation until school opens again. Mrs. Sam Acker had a card from Mrs. Al Fristoe of Rochester, Ind.. Tuesday morning stating that she had brought her mother, Mrs. Merris, to their home, very feeble, and that the doctors have no hope of her getting well. Mrs. Merris is one of Adams county's oldest residents, having lived at Pleasant Mills for a number of years.—Geneva Herald. Herman Gerke has returned from Rome City, where he speat a week and a half. Herman is a prominent farmer of Root tow-nship, and is devoting a part of the place to the culture of beets. Foreign labor is employed and some trouble or other arose during his absence, a beet worker quitting and leaving Another se- ■ cured in his place also left, and Her- ■ man was sent for to come home and > straighten up affairs, before his two I weeks' visit expired. He gained eight t pounds, however, during his stay, and enjoyed the fishing. F. H. Nichols, Alva Nichols and Frank Chronister

... v ( will be home Sunday. , F M. Falk, of Jonesboro. Ark., spent Monday with Sam S. Acker. The boys were school mates and have 1 always been great friends. At one time Mr. Falk was Adams county’s greatest musical professor, and at one time had a class in Geneva. About twelve years ago. Mr. Falk moved with his family and other relatives to Jonesboro and engaged in the timber business and we are glad to say Fred has made good, and in fact at this time has' one of the very largest bending factories in the south, manufacturing rims of all kinds for wheels and selling them by the car load only.—Geneva Herald. Last Monday morning Mrs. Chas. Hartley (her ma.den name having been Goldla Kised) left for some unknown place to the public. Mrs. Hartley is the mother of three children, one of them being out in Illinois with relatives and one being with Mr. Hartley, himself, and the other one died in infancy. For some time she has made her home with her aunt, near Linn Grove, until hearing of her departure. Before leaving she told some one that she was going to her father who is staying some place in Michigan, but it is rather doubtful in the minds of many people and relatives if she ever left with the intention of going to her father or not. Mrs. Petty Kiser, west of Geneva, is the mother o* Mrs. Hartley.—Geneva Herald. o MOVING TO FORT WAYNE. Mrs. Fred Smith and daughter, Vesta. were in the city today arranging for the removal of their household goods to Fort Wayne, where they will make their future home. Mr. Smith was formerly engaged as motorman on the Decatur interurban, and now has a position with the Bowser company at Fort Wayne. They left here several months ago for Montpelier, O. where he purchased a moving picture and vaudeville show, and while there, had their household goods stored here. Davis Dailey, who has been suffering for three or four days from glandular enlargement, and is quite ill, will probably be taken to a hospital to undergo an operation, as physicians state that it is his only hope for relief. Miss Gertrude Moses left yesterday for Chicago, where she will continue her treatment with Drs. Billings and Post for rheumatism with which she has been afflicted for several years. Miss Moses took treatment of them In Chicago for some time, and has ' been taking their home treatment also, since January last. While she is much better than she was a year ago, she i has been suffering much, and went to I Chicago in the hope of obtaining still < more relief. ' Muncie, Ind., August 16, 1912. French Quinn, Esq., Decatur, Ind.: Dear Sir and Friend: —Your iuvita- < tion to attend the meeting of the i "Home-comers” in October,’ received, i I have kept in touch, through the ; daily paper, with arrangements < which are being made. I have also i read carefully the many names which 1 have been referred to the committee. I My memory goes back forty-five years i and many of the names are familiar : to me, and the reading of them brings up many recollections. Many that I have supposed long since dead I find still living. What a reunion it would 1 be if all could be present! I expect

to be pretty busy about that time, but I could not conceive of any business or pleasure which would keep me from attending the home-coming at least a part of the time. Respectfully yours, J. FRANK MANN. Among those who have promised to join the throngs here for old home week are the following: Bluffton, Ind., Aug. 16, 1912. French Quinn, Decatur, Ind. Dear Friend:—l have carefully read your “Old Home Week” letter and appreciate its tone of cordiality. Many thanks for it. Mrs. and myself will be there, sure. Trusting it will prove to be everything you are aiming to make It, I desire to remain Your friend, DELL LOCKE. The Invitation committee for "Old Home Week" met last evening at the library hall with almost a full attendance. The members of the committee of practically all of the churches, lodges and societies of the entire city were present. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, who stated the purpose of the meeting. Upon motion Mr. John Parrish was selected secretary. The committee decided that the committee members of each organization prepare a list of all their non-resident members together with their addresses and forward them to the chairman of the invitation commit- ' tee. who was instructed to have the 1 list as grouped printed in the newspapers, and send each an invitation. 1 Second: That each committee of ’ each organization write a letter upon r . .... ...

the stationery of their organization extending an invitation to each member to return to enjoy that week. Third: That each committee of each organization personally request of each of their members to cut out a list of names of their particular organization as printed in the newspaper and to write them letters or postals inviting them back. Fourth: That the members of the committee so? the different organizations confer with the other members of their organizations relative to proper entertainment to be given by their respective organizations during that week. Fifth: That the general invitation committee meet again at the library hall on Friday evening, August 23, 1912, at 7:30 o’clock, at which time it is requested that each member will be able to make suggestions that will be of benefit to all. Hershel Whiteman of Geneva, through his attorney, D. E. Smith, filed in the Adams circuit court today noon a petition for a divorce from Lulu Whiteman, now residing in Portland. They were married August 17, 1907, o.nd lived together until May 6, 1908, when the plaintiff alleges the wife left him and has since refused to live with him. One of the charges made against her is adultery, and although they have been separated some four years, Whiteman says that during the past month she has given birth to a child. They are parents of one child, Mary Ethel, aged four and a half years, and he asks the care and custody of her, alleging that his wife is not a fit person to have her. Summons was issued to the sheriff of Jay county, returnable the first day of the next term of court. But two weeks remain until the opening of court, Monday, September 2nd. Emanuel Joray has filed suit against John Hayerly, on account, demand $l5O. C. J. Lutz is attorney for Joray. Attorney D. B. Erwin, who is one of the receivers for the Old Fort Ice Cream company, in a case in the Allen courts, has advertised the same for sale Tuesday, August 27th. John Spuhler of this city has been engaged as auctioneer. Licensed to wed: Nora M. Norris, born December 1, 1889, daughter of M. C. and Chloe Norris, to wed John A. Fulk, farmer, born June 1, 1891, son of P. M. Fulk. Real estate transfers: J. F. Hocker et al. to C. E. Bahner, lot 8, Monroe, $160; Homer Charleston et al. to Joseph Robins, realty in Jefferson tp., SI3OO. The article in Thursday evening's Democrat, anent the coming wedding of a prominent county official, caused much comment, and not strange to say everyone reading it made the right guess at once that it was the wedding of Prosecuting Attorney R. C. Parrish, son of Mrs. Mary Parrish, and Miss Ethel Barkley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Barkley. The friends, however, who have been anxious to learn the exact date of the wedding that they may give them a good send-off. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S CASTORIA

will be pleased to learn that It will I take place even sooner than they! thought. The wedding has been' scheduled for next week and it is said ' will take place at Winchester, where it will be solemnized by the bride's; brother-in law, Rev. George Schroeder, pastor of the Christian church there.' The T. M. Reid residence on North ; Fifth street, which they have leased, and on which they have spent much time, furnishing it on the quiet, In preparation for their occupancy, Is nearly ready, and when the finishing touches have been placed thereon, the couple will slip away to Winchester, where the magic words will be said that will unite them for life. .— —-o —- KILLED BY TREE. L. L. Johnson, senior member of the contracting firm of L. L. Johnson & Son, who are Installing the boilers and the beet sheds at the sugar factory, was called by telegram Friday afternoon to his home in Marlon, Ind., on account of the death of his father-in-law, who was found dead under a tree which he was felling. It is thought that the tree fell before he was aware of the impending danger and that it caught him. He died instantly. Late Friday night Mr. and Mrs. Johnson left the city to go to the home of the wife’s father, and will probably not return to Decatur before Tuesday. RECEIVED INCREASE. — Ezra Cutting today received notice of an increase in his pension of from fifteen dollars to twenty-five dollars. He was engaged in fourteen battles during the rebellion, he being in the 19th Ohio volunteer infantry. Among the battles were Shilon, Stone River, Missionary Ridge, Chickamauga, Corr inth. The pension is the second int erfase granted In this county. t —o Monroe, Ind., Aug. 17— (Special to ■ Daily Democrat)—On Thursday morn- ■ ing the Johns’ delegation leftjn five automobiles for Eaton, Ind , to attend s the Johns' reunion, arriving at that • place at 8:45, the trip being made in 5 les sthan three hours, without any ac- '• cident to mar the occasion, and beins r "Johnnies on the spot” in time for the t auto itarade in which Monroe was given a prominent part. The number of 1 Johns from here was twenty-one, and f four ladies —Mesdames John Andrews, ! > John Nelson, John Badders and John p Mayer. The reunion was a success in 1 every way, the crowd in attendance ‘I being estimated at 7,000 and all seemed enjoying themselves to the fullest extent. Everything on the program l » was carried out to the letter, and the '• prizes were awarded as advertised, y Monroe, as usual, never does anything n by halves, and this time carried away f - the capital prize for bringing the big- ’> gest all-John delegation for that event, >' and a silver shaving mug was awarde ed to John Mayer for being the hande somest man in the delegation. Mon- *■ roe may well feel proud of the honors r bestowed upon them in sending such e a representative body of fat, lean, •> handsome, ugly, big and little Johns, I and if they had deemed it proper to !■ “hog”’ everything in sight, the Monroe y bunch could have taken home everyJ thing in sight. All Johns present re- '■ turned home Thursday evening, loud ’• in their praise of the treatment ex- >• tended them by the managers of the “ Johns’ organization and by the Eaton t citiz<-nf. Owing to an error in the Friday's Muncie Star, stating that Muncie had received the five-dollar prize for the largest delegation, we e wish to state that Monroe got the money and tho honor, too. o t SOLDIERS WILL PICNIC. r Second Annual Event Will be Held on Thursday in Kunkel Grove. e The G.
