Summer Homes.

In the Lake regions of Wisconsin, Northern Michigan, Minnesota,Iowa aDd Dakota, there -are hundreds of .charming localities pre-eminently fitted for summer homes. Nearly all are located on or near lakes which have not been fished out.

Sliirley To He Boomed

A syndicate of Indianapolis business men has purchased the Sylvester Hamilton and John W. White land and unsold lots in Shirley, and expect to locate factories and boom Shirley. They have five thousand acres of gas and oil leaees, and have negotiations pending for factories. Shirley is tbe crossing of the Ciniinnati, Wabash and Michigan and the Peoria & Eastern railroads. It is believed Shirley will prove a good oil territory. The farms named above are in Hancock county and the chances are that we will have another town of considerable size spring up on our Northeastern border. The promoters of that enterprise certainly believe that the Republicans will be successful in the National election or they would start no boom town. When oil is developed in Hancock connty money will be abundant.

OBITUARY.

Albert Foster, son of James R. and Mary E. Foster, was born in Hancock county, Ind., April 21, 1870, and died May 10, 1896, aged 26 years and 19 days. With the exception of about three years, during which time be was in Illinois, his life was spent at his home in this county.

In re-jordiDg his history there is nothing of what the world calls prominence to mention. He never aspired to public place, nor did he seek notority in any way but his life was quiet and unobtrusive and beautiful in its peace and gentleness. His sterling honesty of character and amiability of disposition made loving friends of all who formed his acquaintance, and he was regarded with more than ordinary affection, and now mourned with more than ^ordinary grief.

One prominent feature of his character was a calm and unwearied patience under all circumstances, and although he knew that he was doomed to an early death, he sever repined, nor did he mnrmur or complain at the suffering which accompanied the dread disease which was slowly undermining his life.

It was not his fortune to perform great deeds, nor to make a name beyond the circle of intimate and loving friends, yet we can say of him what cannot be said of all who have had a more prominent lifehistory- "His life was without stain, his example was always worthy of emulation, and although his existence was brief, the world is better for his having lived."

By his own request he confessed the name of Christ and was immersed in the Christian church a few days before his death.

His bereaved relatives think it proper that mention be made at this time, of the great kindness of friends and neighbors toward him and them during his illness, and to themselves since his dbath, and ask that their heartfelt thanks be thus publicly tendered to those who have contributed all that human aid and cousolationcan bring to sorrowing hearts.
