Misses Ellen Crisler and Frances been working In Wataeka for some time past, came home Thursday for a visit with home folks. Mr and Mrs. Wm. Martin of Kentland were here the last of the week at the home of their son Harris, whose wife has been quite sick. Clyde tbe little son of Mr and Mrs. Martin returned home with them. i } Howard Myers of Brook, was in town Monday and perfected arrangements to produce at the opera house next Saturday night, ‘‘The Country Minister,” a play of great repute. The players are all local talent of Brook, and the play was twice given In their home town last week to large and well pleased audiences. Mt. Ayr is soon to lose another of her most estimable citizens, Mr. Walter Ponsler, president of The Bank of Mt. Ayr, and otherwise well known in the business circles, has traded his farm three mileß south of here for land near Columbia City, in tbe eastern part of the state! and will move to that city some time In January. Of the deal and Mr. Pansier, the Columbia City Daily Post in part says: “Walter i Ponsler, of Mt. Ayr, Ind., has closed a deal with Strauss Bros., of Llgonier, for the William Mowery farm of 400. acres, near Croesse, :in Union township, and will get possession of same the first of March, 1909. In addition to the 400 acres he has also purchased the Hartsock 80 acres, lying west of it, so that Mr. Ponsler now owns 480 acres in on 6 body. In the deal some Western Indiana land owned by Mr. Ponsler was exchanged for the Mowery farm'. Mr. Ponsler has rented the residence of Mrs. William Carr, on j West Van Buren street, and he will j move here in January and become a permanent citizen of the county. He will place a tenant upon his large farm and give the place considerable attention. He is a middleaged man, with a wife and one daughter. The Mowery farm is one of the best in the county as a stock and grain farm.” We are indeed glad to learn of Mr. Ponsler’s good fortune in securing a farm so highly spoken of, but we regret very deeply that the transaction will be the cause of us losing so good a citizen.
