Caned.

John S. Newgent, Esq ., the retiring member of the Board of County Com missioners, was presented with a handsome gold-headed cane by his brother county officials, a few days ago, Surveyor O’Brien making the presentation address. The cane is a handsome one, and the doners could not have presented it to a more conscientious and deserving official.

George E. Hicks, a traveling grocery salesman well known in Greencastle, who embezzled several thousand dollars from his employers, was arrested a few days ago in Mexico, where he was running a saloon, and is now in jail at Indianapolis. Hicks was a high-tiyer, hence his fall is all

the more sensational.

At the election held at College Ave. M, E. Church, Saturday, to vote for or against women acting as lay delegates to the M. E. Conferences, the vote stood in favor of the ladies so acting, 104; against the ladies, 0. The vote indicates that none but women voted, or else the men of College Ave. M. E. Church are very gallant and have the utmost confidence in the business ability of the fair sex. James A. Johnston died at his late home, at Oakalla, on Nov. 25, of consumption, after a long sickness. The funeral took place on Tuesday morning, services being conducted at Landes’ Chapel by Rev. Leazenby, and he was buried with the honors of Odd Fellowship, Greencastle Lodge, of which he was a member, turning out in force to attend the funeral. Deceased was a highly respected citizen and the bereaved family have the sympathy of a large

ing to all present.

We received, on Monday a box containing samples of the products of Utah, sent us by Mack Hall, a former resident of Putnam county. The apples were wonderfully large and perfect-as good if not superior to any we have ever seen, while the potatoes and onions are of extraordinary size and finely flavored. It will not do to think of shippingthese products from Utah to Indiana, however, in a regular way, as the freight charge on this lot, weighing 40

pounds, was $3.20.

On Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. P R Christie entertained the members of the Presbyterian S S Orchestra in a pleasing manner. The hours were spent in discoursing sweet music, and then followed an oyster supper, at which the bivalves were served on the half shell, in soup, fried, etc. The guests reported a jolly good time. The members of the orchestra present were: P. R. Christie, leader, Misses Helen Hathaway, and Laura Christie, and Messrs T C Grooms, Will Grooms, Henry Werneke, George Cooper and Rufus
