WEATHER FORECAST.

Generally fair tonight and Saturdayday; cooler tonight. Delphi City Council Appropriates Money for Band Concert Leader. The Delphi city council - Tuesday night adopted a resolution paying $5 weekly for twenty weeks for band concerts. The money is to be paid to the leader, John Lathrope, the well known bandmaster. T<he departure is rather odd but possibly not a bad way of encouraging the concerts which are enjoyed by many who never contribute a cent toward the support of the band. By coming out of the city treasury, however, all taxpayers help defray the expense. Monticello is having some band troubles this year. Some members of the juvenile band have outgrown the name of juvenile, they think, and also the leadership of Prof. Tripodi, and have joined the old band and engaged a qew leader, claiming half the money pledge formerly given the ■'boys’ band. What will become of the trouble it is difficult to say but probably the boys will secure some recruits and both organizations will continue, provided enough money can be secured to support both.

Last Number of the Lecture Course at M. E. Church Tonight

The fifth and last number of the Epworth League lecture course will take place at the M. E. church tonight, when George P. Bible, of Philadelphia, will give one of his famous lectures, which are Said to be instructive as well as entertaining. The other numbers of the course were all so well received that a large audience will doubtless be on hand to hear him. Dr Bible is now the managing principal of the National School of Elocution and Oratory at Philadelphia, and besides coming with the promise from many press notices of being everything that a select audience could wish, he has local endorsement that is still further assuring. Single admissions will be 35 cents.

Eli Wood The Youngest Man Of His Age in White County.

The Monon News has the following to say about the 74th birthday of Eli Wood, brother of Harvey W. Wood, and who is well known in this county: A number of the friends and relatives of Eli Worid were entertained at his hospitable Home Wednesday, the occasion being his 74th birthday anniversary. While the affair was not planned as a surprise, some were present quite unexpectedly to Mr. Wood. The dinner included about everything good to eat and was prepared in the most palatable manner under the supervision of his good wife. A number of useful presents were received, including some from distant friends. Among those present were: Mrs. H. A. Rockwood, of Indianapolis, H. W. Wood and wife and Miss Mary Wood, of Rensselaer, Mrs. Jennie Rishling and daughter, Miss Rose, of this place. Mr. Wood is probably the youngest man of his age in the county and nothing short of the family record backed by his own statement would convince one that he has gone beyond the allotted span of three score and ten. We attribute this to the fact that he is a sunny-side Christian .and by bringing good cheer to others, he has retained a youthful spirit. The News joins with his many friends in wishing that he may still grow younger and enjoy life. I
