Death Os Arthur F. Griffith. Arthur F. Griffith of Milford, the world’s mathematical wonder, was found dead of apoplexy in his bed at Springfield, Mass., on Christmas day. Dec. 25. Mr. Griffith was 31 years old and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Griffith of Milford. He was known professionally as the “Marvelous Griffith” and had been in the east for some time giving exhibitions of his marvelous powers in solving problems mentally on the instant they were given him, many of which puzzled the college proffessor of mathematics. Griffith attributed his wonderful ability to clear memory short systems known only to himself and constant practice, and did not believe that he was a genius. From childhood he showed a remarkable aptitude for figures, but in other studies was not so proficient, and during his entire life was always working out some intricate problem that the most learned college proffessors would not attempt to solve. Among the difficult feats he performed was the computing of the amount of compound interest that would have accrued upon one cent from the time of the birth of Christ up to the present. A good example of his rapidity is a little mental exercise with which he frequently amused his companions at Milford. He would stand at the side of the Big Four railroad as a swiftly-moving freight train passed and after it had gone would tell the number of each car, the name of railroad to which it belonged and the total of the numbers, and in every instance he was found to have been correct. For several years Mr. Griffith had traveled nearly all the time, appearing in vaudeville in nearly all of the large cities of the United States, demonstrating his wonderful mathematical powers. / The remains were brought to Mil? ford for burial. / Democrat Caucus. The democrats of Turkey Creek township held a caucus at the office of Dr. D. S. Hontz Saturday aftga noon to select a delegate to their district convention which W be held tomorrow at South Bend. Mr George Xanders was chosen tdl represent Turkey Creek township. Miss Eva Mae Juday who is making her home this winter with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Juday, went to Elkhart Saturday to be with her parents, Mr. and Mrs Logan Juday, Christmas and spend! a week with them there. Her father presented her with a gold watch for a Christmas gift. Mr. J. N. Juday accompanied her to Elkhart, returning Saturday evening. Frank Green was home over Christmas. >

6000 Bpe, ®lt> Ipear. Good bye, old year, good bye, But thanks, to thee are due For all thy many blessings; E’re we welcome in the new. Tho’ you came to see us unknown, You’ve stood each crucial test; And now all worn and weary, You’ve earned eternal rest. With one hand clasped in thine, To bid you a last adieu; The other we extend in welcome To the little year so new, The New Year’s but a stranger, And for him We’ll do our best; But still our hearts grow tender, As we speed the parting guest. Good bye, old year, good bye, We hear thy funeral knell; And our hearts are filled with sadness Farewell, old year, farewell. —Carrie Whiting McCloud. Correction. J. W. Riddle and Miss Lulu Spencer of Holgate, were guests of Mr. Riddle’s parents, J. T. Riddle and wife, over Christmas. His friends here were disappointed when theyHearned that congratulations were not in order as they were led to think they would be from an article which appeared in last weeks Journal. Some one who Evidently wanted to have some fun at the expence of Mr. Rid die and Miss Spencer sent an article to the Journal last week signed F. J. Cunningham, a ficticious name we are told, stating that Mr. Riddle had entertained some of his friends at Holgate on a certain evening and had announced his coming marriage to Miss Spencer, none of which is true.
