THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

Report of the Gillam Home-Coming Association.

The Gillam. Home-Coming Association held its second annual meeting at the old Independence church Sept 24 to 28, 1913. The first service was held Wednesday evening, Sept. 24, at 7:30 o’clock. Rev. Thomas Mason, D. D., of Siloam Springs, Ark., filled the pulpit. The subject of his discourse was the word “Mystery,” as found in the 51st verse of the 15th chapter of Ist Corinthians. Thursday was visiting day with many of the home-comers. Thursday evening at 7:30 o’clock the Rev. T. M. Guild, of Peru, Ind., preached an excellent sermon from the text found in the latter part of the 14th verse of the 3rd chapter of Exodus. Friday .was Reminiscence Day. The weather not being so favorable the attendance was not so large as last year, yet the old church, which seats more than three hundred people, was well filled. Rev. Frank Campbell, of University Place, Neb., a former Gillamite, occupied the pulpit in the forenoon and briefly reviewed his boyhood days spent in Old Gillam. It was indeed a touching scene as the reverend gentleman stood there with streaming eyes and recalled the days of his youth, when his father, the Rev. Wm. Campbell, also the Guild, preached the Old Gospel of Christ from the same sacred stand, and when so many of the sainted fathers and mothers, who were eager listeners, occupied the pews, and how the sacred walls of the old church echoed the shouts of “Glory” from the lips of these sainted ones, now silently sleeping in the old churchyard nearby. The good brother was almost overcome with sacred memories and tears eame to every eye in the audience. Brief talks were made by Rev. T. M. Guild, Rev. John Sebring, a former pastor of this place, and Rev. D. H. Guild. Basket dinner followed, which was indeed a bountiful repast. After dinner the song service was led by Rev. D. H. Guild, with prayer by Rev. Thomas Mason. Rev. T. M. Guild then continued the reminiscences and gave an excellent talk, followed by Rev. Mason, Rev. Frank Campbell, Pres. J. R. Guild, Attorney E. 0. Rathfon and others, telling of the good deeds as well as the jokes played on each other, bringing fun and merriment to the attentive audience. At 7:30 in the evening Rev. Frank Campbell preached a powerful sermon from the text found In the 3rd verse of the 3rd chapter of the book of Amos. This was an admonishment to parents as well as to Christian people in general. Saturday was Amusement Day. The forenoon was spent in visiting and social conversation. The afternoon session was opened with congregational singing and prayer by A. J. Rathfon. Pres. J. R. Guild then made a short talk and introduced the speaker, Attorney E. O. Rathfon. After the address short talks were made by former Gillamites, all voicing the same sentiment that they were glad to be present and that the Home Coming was simply grand. The audience was then dismissed and all went to the school grounds neaby and watched a very interesting game of basketball played by the Medaryville high school boys and the Regulars of the same place. At 7:30 in the evening Rev. Thomas Mason delivered a masterful sermon, taking for his text the first clause in the 9th verse of the 13th chapter of Ist Corinthians.

Sunday was a great day. Regardless of the cloudy day the attendance was large, there being five or six hundred people present. The first session was the Sunday School hour. The lesson, being a review of all the lessons for the quarter, was dramatized; the story of each lesson being told by pupils from the different classes with brief comments by the superintendent. This was quite a success. Rev. Campbell preached a masterful sermon from the text found in the first part of the 10th verse of the 17th chapter of St John. Basket dinner followed. After dinned the devotional service was led by Rev. Campbell Dr. Mason then filled the pulpit taking as a text the “Providence of God.” At the close of this service an oldfashioned class meeting was held, led by Rev. John Sebring. At 7:30 in the evening Rev. Campbell again preached to an attentive audience. His text being in Mark, 10th chapter, 51st verse. This service closed the series of meetings. The program as previously arranged could not be carried out in full as several of those on duty could not be present. Among them were Judge C. W. Hanley, who came Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Mell Medicus, Mrs. Taura Fischer, Banker C. P M Mitchell and Hom. G. W. Faris, all former Gillamites. It is needless to comment on any of the work as all was of the highest type, both spiritually and intellectually.

The election of officers restilted in the retention of all the old officers. The financial claims were all met, as our good people always respond liberally to the call for money. A vote of thanks was tendered our Worthy andl efficient township trustee, John Selmer, for the splendid work done on the cemetery. This work is to be commended and Is greatly appreciated by the public in* general. The time set tor the

No Supervisor Elections Until General Election, 1914.

The Republican erred in stating in a recent issue that the toad supervisor elections would be held this year. The law providing for elections on the second Saturday following the first Monday of December of every odd year, was amended by the last legislature and it is now provided that the next road super visor election will be held at the same time of the general election, Nevember, 1914, and thereafter at the biennial elections. By the act of the last legislature the terms of road supervisors was extended almost eleven months. Provided the township roads in a township do not exceed 10 miles in length the trustee shall be ex-officio road supervisor. Each road supervisor shall, at the time of his election, be a qualified voter of the township. Road supervisors receive 25 cents por hour for not to exceed 60 days in the year, except that where there is only one supervisor in the township the trustee has the power to extend the number of days he can work and receive pay for to 120. Before any trustee shall receive his pay he must file with the trustee a sworn statement specifying the days and roads upon which such services were performed. The supervisor is liable under a bond of S2OO required by the new law, for failure to perform any of the duties imposed and he may be removed from office by the trustee.

A road supervisor is authorized to collect commutation monies due the district, and is required to notify the trustee whose duty it is to see that the money is collected. The trustee has the right to change the districts whenever he believes the interests of the public will be subserved by so doing. On dividing the township into road districts the trustee is required to record a plat thereof in the highway record of his township and this must be done whenever there is a change in the districts.

The supervisor is required to order out all able bodied men except those exempted, who are between the ages of 21 and 50 years, between the first day of April and the first day of December. He shall require them to furnish such tools as are needed, provided the demand be a reasonable one. Teams, wagons, road scrapers, etc, owned by persons in the district, shall be used on order of the supervisor. Persons who do not work out the road tax must pay at the rate of $1.50 per day. Ten days after warning the supervisor shall notify the trustee of all who have neither worked nor paid and suit shall be begun. The money collected shall be used to hire road work done. Eight hours constitutes a day for road tax labor.

The road supervisor of each district is required to make a full and succinct report, under oath, on or before the first day of December of each year, showing the names of all persons liable to perform, or who have performed, labor on the roads of the district, the amount of commutation money received from any and all sources and how the same was expended and if he has on hand any balance it shalrte paid to the trustee. The trustee audits the books of the supervisor.

A mild, gentle and effective laxative is what people demand when suffering from constipation. Thousands swear by Dr. King’s New Life Pills.

next Home-Coming is the last week in August, 1914. It is hoped that many of our far away Gillam friends may plan to be with us and help to make our next meeting a greater success, if that be possible. Those attending from a distance were: Rev. Thomas Mason, Siloam Springs, Ark.; Rev. Frank Campbell, University Place, Neb.; Rev. D. H. Guild and wife, Ft. Wayne, Ind.; Rev. T. M. Guild, Peru, Ind.; Attorney E. O. Rathfon and wife, Sduth Chicago, Ill.; Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Campbell, Hammond, Ind.; Mrs. Thomas Knotts, Gary, Ind.; J. M.

Fendig, of Rensselaer; Arthur and Robert Fendig, of Chicago; Solomon Fendig, of Spokane, Wash.; Edna Fendig, of Rensselaer; Mrs. Solomon Jacobs, of Tampa, Fla.; Mrs. Leopold Weil and Mrs. Louis Eisenberg, of New Orleans, La. He was one of the oldest members of the Masonic lodge of Rensselaer, having belonged to this order for about forty years.

Unfortunately residing at such great distances, Solomon, of Spokane, Wash., Mrs. Jacobs, of Tampa, Mrs. Weil and Mrs. Isenberg, of New Orleans, are unable to be present with the grief stricken family. The funeral was conducted at the late residence Friday afternoon by Rabbi Sinkin, of Lafayette. There was no music at the service.

This is Really Good. When Tom Marshall was a candidate for governor he made a speech in Rensselaer and said it Vjas a downright shame that the state paid the rent for the governor and that when he was elected he would shye the state that money and pay his own rent. Last week he caused a hanger to be placed to the general deficiency bill in the national congress prpviding tor the purchase of a new machine for the vice president and for its upkeep for the year. This does not pay for a chauffeur, whose salary comes out of Uncle Sam through another appropriation. It looks a great deal aS though the once commonplace Tom has gone plutocratic and forgotten all about the “poor taxpayer.”

Someone broke into the citizens’ party headquarters at Gary Friday night and stole most of the records and polling books. Speaker Clark Saturday canceled twelve Chautauqua engagements he had made for this fall, because of the prologed session of congress. It has been estimated that the engagements would have netted him between $5,000 and $6,000. Having*’ defeated two Rensselaer ball teams, the Rex-Alls and the Naps, during the past week, Jim Babcock feels that the Parr teain is worthy of further honors and says they will be glad to get a crack at the Athletics if there is any sort of a show.

John Dextg? who started a tile factory at Wheatfield, has sold it to George Searles, of Illinois, who is now in charge and Mr. Dexter expects to move to Rensselaer if he can get a house in which to live. He is a brick; stone and plaster mason. Mrs. I. B. Washburn, who has been visiting her son, Dr. I. M. Washburn, for some time, left today for Pawpaw, W. Va., for a short visit with her daughter, Mrs. Everett Graham. She will then go to Washington, D. C., where she and her daughter, Miss Mary Washburn, the artist and sculpturess, will take up their residence.

Two trainmen were killed and several others injured Saturday when an eastbound freight on the Nickel Plate railroad collided with a stalled westbound freight, a few miles west of Conneaut, O. Patrick Tracy, brakeman, and William Cunningham, engineer, both members of the cerw of the eastbound train, were pinned beneath the wreckage of their engine and scalded to death.

Rev. F. E. Crider, of Greenfield, pastor of the Rosebud church, filled his engagement at the Rosebud church last Sunday for the first time in about sjx weeks. His little son had the diphtheria and the home was under quarantine. He was returned to the church here for another year by the M. P. conference and wi 11 continue his residence at Greenfield, coming here every three weeks. -j Joe Davisson made two real estate deals Monday. Frank Kresler purchased of William Cooper, his farm of 160 acres near Virgie, giving $65 per acre for it.

Mr. Swain will be taken to the residence of Mrs. Mattie Grant. He is being cared for by a nurse provided by the Masonic order, to which Silas belonged. He was in a very critical condition yesterday throughout the afternoon. His physician is of the opinion that he can not undergo much improvement and that death is the almost certain outcome.

We are justly proud of our fall showing of ladies’ “Ready-to-Wear Garments,” so many compliments and our large Increase in sales has led us to believe as sou will be led to believg upon examination, that this is the place tp make your fall selections. . ROWLES & PARKER.

Cleve Harkrider, who left tor Chenoa, 111., Monday, first sold off all of his household goods, selling everything at ridiculously low prices. It is claimed that Mrs. Harkrider left tor parts unknown Saturday, and the tumor is to the effect that she and Clarence Hamilton have gone away together. Harkrider himself leaves a good name for honesty and industry and he is to be congratulated if the separation is a permanent one, provided the various allegations about his wife are true. This will probably not be the last chapter this story. It usually turns out that clandestine love affairs end in some great disappointment and there is nothing to indicate that this one will be different from thousands of others.
