The future of the Ligonier fair depend wholly upon the action of a few of its so-called friende. 'There is =& strong feeling among the stock-holders that all differences should be settled and a united effort made to get together. Concessions have been made and there seems to be an expressed determination to try to build up the association but this cannet be done at the expense of any one man or set of men; and while we are ready to bury the hatchet and do even more than our share, we will not stand supinely by and be a target for amy mud slinger who masquerades as a friend of the fair. !

The number of townships in Indiana is 1,016, being an average of eleven to each county. The largest township in the state is.in the center of Montgomery county, and the city of Crawfordsville.is in the center of the township. This is Union township and is twelve miles square, or four times as large as the regulation township. The smallest township in the state is Albion, in this county. - It is but two miles square. Union township is therefore large enough to contain thirty-six townships of the silze of Albion. Jackson is the name of 45 townships 1n the state, 41 are named Washington, 28 Jefferson, 23 Harrison, 15 Monroe, 13 Madison, 10 Adams and 8 Vanßuren. It will be noticed that the naming of townships after presidents of the United States was very popular. '

The meeting of stock-holders of the Noble County Agricultural society last Tuesday was largely attended, the largest for years and there was a strong feeling manifest that if differences could be settled the fair should be continued and it looks now as if mutual concessions will be made and a united effort put forth in rebuilding the interests of the association. The election of directors resulted in the selection of Hon. O. Kimmell, W. W. Latta, John Weir. Frank Hull, Josiah Kitson, W. H. Baker, J. L. Dunning, A. J. Morris, John H. Green, Samuel Braden, J. E. McDonald, J. H. Hoffman and W. N. Showalter. For delegate to the meeting of State Board of Agriculture W. W. Latta was selected. The matter of voling stock by power of attorney was seltled against the proposition by a narrow vote early 1n the fight and absent stock-holders were denied any rights of veting for directors and upon other propositions. :

Thae down pour of ran for the past two or three days brings to mind t% great flood of February 10-13, 1887, when the St. Joseph and Elkhartrivers. overflowed their banks as never before kunown and inflicted considerable damage upon this city. Before that time the high water of 1856, which cut a new channel between the Elkhart and St. Joseph, since used as a tail-race for the hydraulics on the last named river, bore the palm. The flood of 1856 has almost been lost sight of, and” is rarely mentioned since that of 1887, when the water in the rivers was two feet higher than before, and for three days and nights our people lived in fear of the dams giving way, permiting the resistless flood to sweep over our town, carrying death and destruction in its way. At that time we were virtually cut off from the north side except by ferry, seventy five dwellings and their outhouses were under water, and some of the streets resembled those of Venice, passable only to boats. 1t is doubtful if Elkhart will ever have such another experience,—Elkhart Review, : s

' The Council Banqueted, Last . Thursday evening after the close of the session of the city council Mayor Stranus surprised the gentlemen assembled by inyiting them to accept a ban( et andered the council and city offi \sg& Hotel Goldsmith, whereupon ti{*%%ole party adjourned to the dining room of this splendid hotel 'where a long table had been spread fer the party, made up as follows: Mayor Straus, Councilmen Gilbert, Knepper, Woodruff, Gants, Cornell and Yerger, City Clerk Reed, City Treasurer Zimmerman, Marshal Vondersmith, City Attorney Prickett, Deputy City Clerk Christie, Street Commissioner Yeager, Chiet of Fire Department Cowley, City Civil Engineer Hon. E B. Gerber, City Health Officer Dr. Mitchell, Abe Goldsmith. Sol. Henoch and J. K. MeDonald. After partaking of the elegant repast served by mine host Clark a number of toasts were propésed and responded to by the various guests. M. R: Gilbert in answer to “Why 1 resigned”’ gave his reasons—purely business conditions and inability to ‘attend to the position as he deemed ‘necessary. It closing he gave some ‘excellent advice to the board regarding ‘the proposed public improvements and ‘highly commended our excellent and popular mayor, : NIAE Dr. Knepper, one of the new members of the council, showed that he had already acquainted himself with the requirements of the position. He outlined to some extent what he thought was necessary and closed with a splendidly expressed compliment to Mayor Straus when he said that the people had made no mistake in his nomination and election. This sentiment was heartily applauded. Dr. Gants also commended the management of city affairs as he found them when he took his place on the board, being appointed to the position made vacant by the resignation of Sol. Mier. Dr. Gants a 8 chairman of the finance committee has made an excellent record during his short seryice and his explanation of the methods of the board was timely and well put.

Dr. Woodruff talked about the water works and the interesting points about the system, while Mr. Yerger answered the toast “The North Side,” saying that things were in good shape ovyer there and about everybody satistied. B. W, Cowley of the fire department talked to the point and made some excellent suggestions to the council. He also seconded what Dr. Knepper had said about Mayor Straus and his 'way of performing the public servige. ‘At this point the whole party arose and drank the health of the mayor who then responded to the toast ‘‘Our City.”” Mayor Straus dwelt upon the improyements that have been made by the present city council and the proposed improvements. He advised the changes of methods by which more permanency could be given to such improvements and outlined a plan shat contempiates the paving of Cavin street and the building of better and more scrviceable street crossings. He commended the council for their enterprise and careful consideration of the wants of the community as well as for their excellent management of the public aftairs. He also thanked them for the uniform ccourtesy extended to him. Hon. E. B. Gerber then told of the early times in our municipal government. he having made the first survey of the streets, drawn the first ordinance for a sidewalk in the town and set the first grade stake for the streets. lle relsted many interesting points about the early history of the city in a way that made his remarks among the best of the eyening. Other cuests regsponded to toasts and made little spesches and it was near midnight when the party broke up. Majyor Straus is to be congratulated upon the sucecess of this most pleasant and seasonable affair. Good fe!lowship and good feeling is cultivated by .such gatherings and for the nonce politics and prejudices were laid aside and all met on common ground as citizens, business men and public servants.

At the Presbyterian Church

The last service of the year now olosed was a fitting finale to the many that haye been held this winter and which have been drawing crowds that fill the church weekly to its utmost capacity. The choir was’ augmented on this occasion by several solo artists and the result was such a seryice as is rarely heard outside of the large cities. Sack’s famous orchestra added finish and tone to a service otherwise exceptional. Two anthems were given by the choir and orchestra! with a dash, precision of attack and expresgion that speak well for the intelligent care of the director, Dr. Keehn. A seprano solo, ‘‘Nearer My God to Thee,”” was given by Mrs. Styer in faultless style and a contralto My Redeemer’ received from Mrs. Peters an interpretation that was simply charming. Profs. Peters and Anderson sang solos incidental to the choruses giyen by the choir, the latter gentleman also making a decided im‘pression in his rendering of Mendelssohn’s ‘‘But the Lord is Mindful.”” A feature worthy of mention was the playing of the accompaniment by the efficient organist, Miss Mabel Treash, The Rev. T. Cooper spoke on the ¢ ‘Ministry of Musi¢”’ with his accustomed earnestness. Af liberal collection was made to enable the cheir to purchase new music, the result of which will doubtless be largely taken adyantage of during the present winter by large audiences of our good town people.
