We'»l All Cora. Home. Sept, 1912. Invitation Committee: Well all «on>* home, we call it home. Your invitation :n most kind: Well all come back old friend* to great, And then we'll call to mind. Tlie dear old "Ante. Helium" day. And things of long hgo. And happening, we’d all forgot, And hear of .onie we didn't know, \ Like homing pigeons we will come To test your hospitality. And in this case anticipation Will surely be below reality. We'll come and view your sugar beets Thanks for your invitation; But then we’re sure your city 'beats’ Will claim out admiration. We'll talk of days so long ago, Before the streets were paved— When the country wagons sank so low And only the horse was saved! We’ll look around for old land marks, Not many will we see, And from the busiest street In town, We ll miss the old elm tree. The plain frame house, guiltless of paint. With the rough board fence around. It's dooryard fun of holly hocks. It's gate upon the ground. Those old dooryards of other days. Where, in bright and sunny weather. The children and the holly-hocls Grew up so gay together. The town cow's nightly raids Upon the corn and cabbage— The next day's lawsuit to repair The loss of last night s ravage. Gone are those old time homes. With their attending trouble. And In their place, the city gay, Presents attractions double. The old Kt. E. church of '54 Still stands upon the same old corner, u'Ko re BU re as fate, its days of yore The sinners got their weekly warning. The saints and sinners both are gone To their allotted places— About the door we ll see no more The well-remembered faces. The old .chool house can still be seen. Its uses have been somewhat lower. Since youths and maidens, boys and Kiris, Ceased going in an out its door. <4 XlkM-e. w tuu.lt JUUttiiul UitCß We used to know, “Made good? Hom many of them still are here How many sleep in Maplewood? O! yes. we'll come, we ll gladly come. And with the rest of those returning Well view those various buildings, « n • Devoted to your children's learning. We’ll look over your sugar plant. Your cement blocks and quarries, And then we'lj think prosperity In Adams cduniy tarries. Your sidewalks and your solid streets, Y'our business blocks and court house fine, Will tell to all of progress. Since the days of "Auld Lang Syne," Your grand advance toward civic li.’e Will command our admiration. And we’ll all say when we come home, This town beats all creation. Yours in anticipation.

George Paille, the Amish man by adoption, against whom a suit’ was | tiled in the circuit court a few days ! ago by the Monroe State bank, on 1 note, demand, $525, has disappeared and notice of the filing of the suit ! is being given by publication of notice of non-residence. It is said that Mr. Paille’s whereabouts have not been known for nearly two weeks, and that before leaving, he sold his farm and took the money with him. What little personal property he left, accordj ing to the Berne Witness, is mortgaged. His wife, It is said, is staying : wth her brother, John P. Schwartz. It w’ill be remembered that a few . years ago, Paille brought, suit in the Adams circuit court against the 1 Amish elders for alienating his wife's ; affections. This trial created much I interest, being the first instance in which Amish appeared in court, as their religion did not favor such pro--1 ceedings. It will be remembered that ' Paille insured his barn, and when . it burned, collected the insurance money, all of which was against the - tenets of the Amish religion, which . held to the effect that if God willed to ; strike things by lightning and cause I their burning, it was not man's place . to reap benefit by taking insurance money. Paille was one of two wanderers who adopted the Amish religion when he married into one of the ■ Amish families where he had taken employment as a farm hand, and ap1 parently had not become a dyed-in-the-wool believer, anyhow he took the in- ■ surance money without a quaver. When the Amish elders persuaded his wife that she would incur the wrath of the divine if she continued to live with him when he disobeyed the tenets of the religion. Paille brought the alienation suit. It is said his disantearanees have been frequent, and that when he became out of humor with the people of his adoption, he would cut off his hair and go away, and when his ire would cool off, he would come back repentant, let his hair grow again, according to the styl? of the people of this faith, and live happily till the next little break. His disappearance this time may be one of his usual little flurries. WILL MOVE TO FARM. B. F. Kizer,'who resided in this city several months, during the time he served as assistant to County Superintendent L. E. Opliger, is preparing to move this week, with his family, to the Magner farm in Union township, eight miles northeast of this city. Mr. Kizer will teach this winter a the Hardscrabble school house, the term opening Monday, and moves that he may be near his school. DANCE AT K. OF C. HALL. Invitations have been issued by the K. of C. for a dance to be given at their hall Wednesday, September 25th. This is their first dance of the season and the committee has arranged lor, another one during Old Home Week. A BABY GIRL •, I 1 Mr. Martin Ault, cylinder pressman ' of this office, was in such a good frame of mind this morning that an ! investigation was at once undertaken unearthing the fact that at three-for-ty-five this morning a baby girl, Ma- 1 bel Vordola, arrived at his home to : gladden the hearts of the parents. 1 Mother and babe are doing well, and 1 Mart is passing around the cigars. . 1 C _ I | If present plans do not go amiss the : work of filling in the Monroe street 1 bridge will commence early tomorrow 1 ' morning, at which time Contractor Jul- < ius Haugk will put a force of men to I work with the Intention of rushing <

the improvement to a rapid ftnlsh. The first part of the week It was stated that he might possibly be allowed to commence Thursday, but later the word was given that ft would be delayed until Friday. Mr. Haugk will probably use the I new steam Bhovef in doing most of the i loading as the dirt will have to be lists ed off the dump on the Teeple farm. In an Interview Mr. Haugk stated that if he was not interfered with li» would have the bridge work finished in ample time for the Home-coming j as thirty days was really more time 1 than he needed. Providing he is allowed to go to work Friday morning I we may expect the use of the new j bridge for Home coming, which will be gratifying news to the hundreds of j , farmers east of town who have been j seriously discommoded this summer with a long haul byway of the north bridge. ' - 0 ENTERS OHIO UNIVERSITY. Virgil Krick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Krick, will leave tomorrow for Columbus, Ohio, where he will enter the state university. His brother, George Krick, a graduate of this university, will accompany him there and remain for a several days’ visit. Section men in the employ of the Clover Ix-as have received an increase of fifteen cents per day as the result of a small strike which occurred Friday night. The matter has now been 1 satisfactorily settled and all the men are back at work. Under the new rate the section men receive the sum of $1.6.5 per day. Heretofore they have received but $1.50 per day. On account of the increased cost of living and the general advance in salaries in all lines of work, the section men felt that they were entitled to more money. The mater came to a head Friday The matter came to a head Friday along the line. The company's ofli cials immediately took matters in hand and after a short conference, it was decided to accede to the demands of the strikers The matter has nowbeen agreeably settled to the satisfaction oi all concerned and the section men are back at work as usual. Employees of the Clover Leaf road are still waiting for the pay car which was due to arrive in Marion Septem ber 15th. Thus far the car has failed to put in a.i appearance, but it is expected daily. It is explained that the reason for the delay is 'hat the Clover Leaf and the Chicago & Altaon roads nave severed their connection and the change in affairs has worked somewhat 01 a hardship on the two roads. It is hoped to adjust all differences within the next few days so that the pay car will make its trips as usual. The section men of Decatur will also receive this raise making their wages now $1.65 per day for ten hours. This is the first raise of this size in I several years. Several times, however, there has been five and ten cent raises an the day. HEARD EXCELLENT ADDRESS. W. C. Carpenter, Superintendent of Largest Sunday School, Speaks. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Walters and Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Semans of this city were among the attendants at Wednesday evening's session of the district M. E. convention held at Trinitychurch Fort Wayne.

This last rain will keep them growing and they are making money for you while you sleep. Cut your corn and let your beets grow, and take on sugar.

Those who have signed the pledge, taken the acid test and sworn allegience to ‘.lie cause that is now uppermost in the hearts and the minds of the loyal citizens of Adams county are William H. O'Brien, auditor of state; William H. Volmer, treasurer of state; Thomas I M. Honan, attorney general; Charles , A. Greathouse, superintendent of pub- ' lie instruction; J. Fred France, clerk of the supreme and appellate courts: Thomas Brolley, state statistician; I Judge John W. Spencer, judge of the j supreme court, and the writer. It Is expected that the interest will grow 1 apace and that others here will join ' the party when they set out on their ! excursion to the metropolis of Adams ' county. As planned the will leave this | city some time in the afternoon of • Tuesday, September 111th, reaching ■ Fort Wayne that evening, spending ' the night greeting many of the good j people of Fort Wayne. The next morning they will hike for Decatur, spending the day amidst the many I pleasures and with the host hospita- | ble people that live and have their ; being in this glorious age, an age when peace, plenty and happiness count for more than riches and the royal purple. While the writer is not a forty-niner, yet he has lived in Decatur long enough to be classed with the oldtimers. I well remember the day 1 landed for the purpose of taking up my residence among you. It was in September, 1894, eighteen years ago this month. I spent the first day getting a shave in Sammy Miller's tonserial parlor located next to the Winneg shoe store on Monroe street, it was a "close" shave, one that if T can ' not feel to this day, I think I can. The ( afternon was spent at a ball game between "Corky” Place’s fast salaried : team and some real Indians, which "Corky” has discovered and brought to Decatur. It was a great attraction and helped the receipts for the sea--1 son. Since the hour of that day I have been one of yon, receiving my < share of the hard knocks and giving some in return. But it all has sweetened me until now I am at peace with the world, ready to come back to my ; own roof and fig tree and it matters! not whether the date of my departure is destined to be at the end of this 1 year or whether it be deferred two, ■ years longer. L. G. E. ; I 11 i IMPROVING SHOW.
