Labor Day at the fair grounds near South Bend was attended by about ■ 6,000 people. The program was about an average one. The horse racing was tame and the broadsword contest afforded but little interest. The balloon ascension and parachute leap helped out the program. The music furnished by the Ames-Union band, of Michigan City, elicited much favorable comment. This is said to be the best band in this part of the state. The program concluded with a sparring exhibition of six rounds for points between W. L. Mayo, of Chicago, and Vern Hardenbrook, of this place. This was a very clever exhibition and much appreciated by the audience. Mayo is an old timer in the ring and a very powerful, agile fellow. Hardenbrook, however, made a very creditable showing and was complimented by Mayo on his work.

। place had a hay-rack party last Wednesday evening. They drove around town and sang a number of popular airs. This was alternated with music on tin horns, horse fiddles, etc., which made a startling contrast to the sweet melody. The occasion was in honor of Miss Ella Cunningham’s birthday.

’ THE DEATH RECORD. . JOHN N. BARNHART. John N. Barnhart w«al>orii in Franklin connty, Virginia. Feb. 13, 189$i and dital 1. 1895, »ged 66 year*. ’ 6 mouth* ^lB days. At the age of 19 years be unital with the Brethren clinrch ami eight years later was called to the ministry. He was married to Mary Peffly, of Elkhart county, Feb. 9, 1853, who still survives him. In 1860 they moved to St. Joseph comity, where they have since reside*], being residents of Walkerton for the past ten years. He was ordained an elder Sep. 30, 1874. He was the father of eleven children, of whom seven are living and were present at the funeral services, which were held at the Brethren church, a mile south of North Liberty, Monday at 2:30 p. m., Rev. Hillary officiating. The remains were buried in the North Liberty cemetery. Until ten years ago Elder Barnhart was a strong, robust man, but at that time he became afflicted with ii paralytic difficulty which made him a lielple*” invalid, suffering untold misery, from which death only was able to release him. Din ing all his life lie was a con- I sisteut Christian, kind to everyone, and during the long years of Ins suffering and helplessness he was patient and re signed. As in health, he had striven to “do the will of the Lord,” so in his sickness, not less obedient, he meekly learned the harder lesson, to “suffer the will of the Lord.” MRS SETH D. MARTIN. AErn. Seth I). Martin died last Sunday morning, Sept. 1, after a severe illness of about. five mouths. About u year ago her health began to fail with a complication of stomach and liver trouble which stubbornly resisted all medical treatment. Her maiden name was Am ret Gage, ami she was born in Lawrence, Mich., April 6, 1850. Oct. 4, 1868, she was married to Setli Martin, who is left withone daughter, Mrs. Nina Leßoy, to mourn her loss. Her mother also, and five brothers still survive her. After a short service at the home Monday morning conducted by Rev. Stockbarger, the remains were taken to Lawrence, Michigan, for interment. 'l’ll© pall bearers who went from this place were six K of P. brethren, Henry Hudelmver, Daniel Brubaker, T. J. Reece. Dr. 11. S. Dowell, Harvey Yerrick and Edward Grider, also the immediate relatives, her sorrowing husband and daughter, and son-in-law, Myron Leßoy, Mr. Gage, Mrs. J. J. Miller and Martin Wolfe. For the past seven years Mrs. Martin lias been a resident of Walkerton during which time she has been prominently indentitied with the social and musical circles here. She was very energetic in everything she undertook and was pleasant and kind to all. Last winter while visiting in Benton Harbor, she joined the Christian church at that place and died a firm believer in the promises of God. LOUIS DECOUDRES. Lewis DeCoudres died at. 5:20 o’clock on Wednesday evening at his home four miles north of this place. He had been in very poor health for some time, but the immediate cause of his death was congestion of the lungs. Mr. DeCoudres has resided in this county upwards of 35 years. As a citizen he was public spirited and ever ready to lend a helping hand to any project that would conserve to the public good. As a man he was true, generous, honorable. His word was as good as his bond. He was an indefatigable worker and by perseverance and good judgment amassed quite a fortune. He was one of the prominent men of St. Joseph connty and his death comes as a great loss to the entire county. His age was 62. The funeral services were held at North Liberty Friday afternoon.

The Indiana supreme court in special session recently decided that the act passed by the last legislature changing the time of electing county

superintendents of schools from June to September is invalid. The act is held to be inoperative for the reason that the legislature amended a law that had been repealed, ami for the further reason that the title of the act is defective. In the counties where the trustees elected a superintendent in June, that otlicial will hold the office two years. In those counties where no June election was held, the trustees holding the law as valid, the present incumbent holds over until June, 1897. A son arrived at Charles Weller’s on Thursday. Sept. 5.
