Newton County—As John Ade Remembers —Worth-While Book.

Through the kindness of John Ade, the aged author, of a book entitled Newton county, we have had the pleasure of reading the book and are pleased to add our testimonial to its interesting contents. The book reviews the important transactions in tbe county from 1853 to 1911 and will prove of boundless interest to those who have lived in this part of Indiana during a half or more of that time. Mr, Ade 4s 83 years of age and this is the first book he ever published and he dedicates it to his deceased wife in the following words: “This little volume is dedicated to the memory of Adaline W. Ade, my wife, in sunshine and storm, for nearly fifty-six years, who, I think, knew me far better than I know myself.” The book treats of the Indian occupation of this country, of the hardships that surronded the first inhabitants of Chicago, and deals with some traditions that dated back before Mr. Ade’s coming to Morocco. The book relates the first murder trial, the organization of the first bank, the division* of Jasper county into two counties, forming Newton, and abounds with reminiscences that make it intensely interesting and the kind of a book that makes one sit up late at night to read. The book was published by * the Bobbs-Merrill Co., of Indianapolis, and is on sale in Rensselaer at B. F. Fendlg’s drugstore at sl.
