Saturday Is The Last Day

I. O. O. F. SUPPER.

, INTERURBAN STREET CAR.

At The Big Store.

The box supper given under the auspices of the Odd Fellows lodge in their lodge room on last Saturday night proved a grand success. The crowd in attendance was all that the hall would accommodate. There were an even forty boxes sold, and, of course, the secret chosing of partners for supper was accompanied by more than the usual source of merriment. The total proceeds of the evening were $14.60, netting just $10.32 to be used in benefit of the lodge.

Electric interurban railways in Indiana, spoke Charles L. Henry, of Anderson, president of the Union Traction Company, before the annual meeting of the state board of commerce in Indianapolis last week, are of recent origin. The first real interurban line was opened three years ago between Anderson and Alexandria. Since that time the interurban lines have come to form a perfect network over the state.

The advantages of interurban lines are obvious. They furnish a cheap, convenient means of travel between towns miles apart which the steam railroad do not furnish. It is true that steam roads can run heavy trains of cars cheaper than can the electric companies, but the electric railways can operats single cars oftener and cheaper. The public consequently gets the advantage of convenience.

WILLING WORKERS.

Tho Indies ot the New Richmond Christian church have banded themselves together in a church social organization and which they style as The Willing Workers Aid Society of The Christian Church. The object of their organization is to turn every effort possible into cold cash to be used as they may direct to the benefit of the church. Initiation and membership fees are a fixed quantity, and the absence of a member from their business meetings, all their meetings too are business meetings, inflicts a penalty upon the absent lady who must pay twenty-five cents to swell their treasury. They hold regular sewing circles, “where they talk about people,” so an envious outobserver ventured to remark. But they don’t! Tho ladies tell us that it is a rule of their society that a member caught gossiping is heavily fined for that grave offense. The ladies hold a supper in the vacant room of the Hollin block on this (Thursday) evening. Gentlemen, go and eat with them and encourage such an ideal society as the Willing Workers. Supper will be ready at 5 o’clock.

One of the chief results of electric interurban lines is that they bind communities closely together. People get more comfort, more pleasure out of existence now that interurban lines are common.

To run cars frequently a road must serve a large population. It has been found that the best places for the right-of-way electric roads are not high-ways, but private rights of way with more permanences and with less annoyance to the public. In conclusion Mr. Henry comments in the benefits which interurban lines confer upon the residents of small towns. It was thought that interurbnn lines would be a positive injury to this class of towns, but the reverse has proved to be the case.

GRIEVOUS CRAWFORDSVILLE.

PUBLIC SALE.

Crawfordsville Sunday Star

Notice is hereby given that I will sell at public auction at my residence, 1 mile east of Wingate, on the Buxton farm, on THURSDAY, FEB. 14, 1901

A few years ago we lost the Clover Leaf railroad by imposing foolish restrictions and now the finest vestibuled trains that cross the state are run on the line ten miles away,and the grain men along that road get a rate that enables them to go right along paying better price for grain than our dealers can offer. We are familiar with the way in which we lost that line and we can now go ahead and lose all possibility of getting a street car line just the way we lost that great enterprise, simply by imposing foolish restrictions. The greatest foes the business interest of Crawfordsville has are alarmists who keep insisting on certain details that will make it impossible for us to get a street car line. Without a local line our interurban system can never be established because there will be no way for the line to cross the city. It is a good idea to study the past occasionally.

A GREAT REVIVAL.

Wingate and community has beyond a doubt experienced during the last three or four weeks the greatest religions awakening of its history. The meeting began January 13 at the M. E. Church and the first week was conducted as a prayer and praise service. From the very first service there was a remakable interest manifested and before the close of the week of prayer the interest had reached high tide. At the beginning of the second week the pastor. W. C. Postill, began to preach and Mrs. J. B. Kirkpatrick, of Pennfield, Ill., took charge of the music, assisted by Miss Laura Chauncey and our excellent choir and gave such valuable help that the audience grew so large the commodious new church was not large enough to accommodate them and for several nights many were turned away on this account. As a result of this wonderful meeting 104 souls were added to the church. At the beginning of the meetings Rev. Postill announced that the converts would be given the privilege of going to the church of their choice, so 26 went to the Christian church, one to the Elmdale M. E. church, and 77 stayed with the M. E. church here.

A DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLD.

Homer Biddle is one of Wayne township's most popular school teachers and wieldsthe educational rod at the Ball school house, southeast of town. He is not only a successful instructor but is popular with the scholar and the patrons of his school. A few days ago Homer had a photograph taken of the school, every scholar enrolled - 38 in all being present and in group. The picture is a good one but the most striking feature is the fact that every one is a democrat, from the teacher down to the smallest scholar of the school. Not an advocate of any other political faith disturbs this feature of its serenity. We doubt if there is another school in the state as wholly one sided in this feature as the Ball school. --Waynetown Despatch.
