Some Interesting Notes About Monticello Friends.

yfontieello Journal. A. K. Sills, Jr., was pleasant surprised by a small group of friends last evening in honor of his birthday. An attractive dinner was served the guests at the Sills hojne, covers being laid for six. Mr. Sills was presented with a handsofiie Knights of Pythias ring as a reminder of the occasion. Mrs. Jennie Schilt has resigned her position with the Byyan Music Company and will leave soon for Syracuse, Ind., where she has accepted a position as housekeeper and business manager at the Vawter Park Hotel. When the social season opens she will be joined by her daughter. Miss Schilt, who will act as pianist theVe during the summer. - Ar-telegram has been received in l>elphi announcing the death of Mrs. Arthur H. DeLong, wife of a former | minister of the Methodist church here I and more recently located in Delphi. Her death occurred at St. Joseph, Mo., where he is field secretary of a Methodist hospital. The cause of ' death was not stated. Rev. DeLong 1 has been attending the general conference at Saratoga and it is not known whether or not he had returned home before the demise of Mrs. DeLong. Rev. Leo Lake has gone to Colorado Springs, Colo., where today will occur his marriage to Miss Beulah Manning. Mr. and Mrs. Lake will return at once to Indiana and will reside at Chalmers until some time in July, when they will sail from New York to Japan, where they will take up missionary work. During the interval they will make a trip bo New York to complete arrangements for sailing. Rev. Lalce was a niissionaiy at Constantinople for three years before ‘assuming the pastorate of the Chalmers church. ‘ S. B. Niccum, formerly of Logansport, who attracted attention in this part of the'state some years ago and who claimed to have discovered a perpetual light, still has the old dream of fame, though now an aged and infirm old man. He has gone to Frankfort from the Cass county infirmary to live out his few remaining'days. While in the Oass county institution he carefully guarded an old suit case which he claimed held the secret of his invention—a light that never needs to be replenished and whicn never goes out. When the Monticello schools open for another year’s work next September, unless death or Cupid should intervene to change the areangements, the_same corps of efficient instructors that have recently completed one of the most successful years m the history of the schools, will be in their accustomed places. Without exeeptiop the meroibers of the faculty have either signed contracts for 191617 or have signified their , intention to do so, all being satisfied with their ■ work and. the support that has been given them by patrons of the schools.
