’ MERCHANTS STUNG Issues Fraudulent Checks in Small Amounts and Merchanmts Out $4O to $5O On Bad Paper. Several Kendallville merchants have been made the victims of a fraudulent check writer who visited the city a few days ago and circulated checks, in small amounts, aggregating between $4O and $5O. All of the checks in small amounts aggregating between s§4o and $5O. All. of the checks were signed ‘Carl Smith” and were written on the Citizens National bank.

“Smith” first deposited $l5 at the local bank as a means of protection against inquiry, and then started his program of check .circulating. Most of the checks were written in amounts of $l, $3 and $5 the small amounts presu:nably having been chosen to avoid suspicion. One local merchant who Iniow has two of the worthless checks ' in-small amounts, in his possession said “Smith’ had a companion while in the .city. ‘Smith” he said vas about 26 or 27 years of age about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighed’ about 149 pounds. His companion was of imedium height. and would weigh about 160 or 170 pounds. The latter he said had a scar over .one eye; : ’ LR, 'SHUTZ SPEAKS OUT. Vistor I'rom North Manchester (ollece, Takes a Whaek at Ligonier Indifierence,

The Banner is indebted to County Y..M. C. A. Seeretary Nord far the follov. ing report: o " Dr. Shutz is professor of the socio‘ogy department of Manchester college and is in great demand as a speaker before all civic clubs. He spurned -’ Ligonier for the spirit of indifference that seems to govern its community life. ‘“There are many zood neople here”, he said, “but what are they good for?’ The speaker maintained that the community that rests content with its own achievements is on the road to decay.” The good doctor was evidently a ‘ittle peeved over the. lack of interest shown in his meetings here and the sinall attendances. However after the language he embloyed in his outburst a second visita-. tion to Ligonier is not probable. =

' U. B. Chureh Notes, That people are interested in the Gospel of Salvation was evidenced on lagt cvening when a full house was on heond to hear the evangelist speak sn thy subject ‘Bartering’ Away your Soul” as based on the text “What shall 2 man give in exchange for his soul. . All of the services have been well attended for which we are thankkful and s we enter upon the last week of theie services weé still ask that the folk- of Ligonier continue with us. ‘Yecierday morning 167 were present in the Sunday school and in the concervaiion service practically the entire 1 amber gathered about the altar. Many people have been helped in these meetings and we are looking for many more_ during the remaining nights of the revival. F. B. Parker Pfl.\’t(}f.'. ' A : : Another Improvement.

Is Bidding For Christmas Business Merchants in Ligonier have evidently made big preparations for Christmas and are out to get their share of the holiday trade, if the last issue of the Ligonier Banner of Monday is any criterion. It is published twice a week. The Monday’s issue consisted of 24 pages and contains large ads from 71 differnt firms in Ligonier. .There are nine full pagd ads and five half page ads or larger It must have been a big undertaking for the Banner to handle such an edition.
