LOOKING OVER BATTLE GROUNDS Eight From This Vicinity Attend Reunion At Chattanooga The party of eight who attended the National Reunion at Chattanooga, returned last Thursday after a few enjoyable days spent in reviewing the many points of interest around that historic place. The party was composed of Mr. and Mrs. Tilman Hire, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Case, Henry Tully and daughter, Mrs. Edward Unrue, W. H. Pence, and Monroe Ott. Mr. Case had been a visitor to Chattanooga about seven years and under his pHotage the Syracuse party was able to cover the ground rapidly. The train carrying them southward slowed down while passing the cemetery at Nashville where there are 20,000 soldiers buried who were killed in the battles of Nashville and Franklin. They also viewed the burial ground at Murfersburrough where 6,000 were interred, victims of the Stone River. The cemetery at Chattanooga is considered the most beautiful and is the resting place of about 13,500 who fell in the battles of Chattanooga and Chicamauga, the latter being one of the bloodiest battles of the civil war. Every state that had soldiers in these battles have erected monuments to the memory of the departed heroes and the one put up by the state of Georgia is probably the finest, although Indiana has constructed one of Bedford stone that is much admired. The local visitors also visited the scenes of battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. About 12,000 Union veterans were in the parade Wednesday morning and the procession was one to stir the martial spirit in anyone. Mr. Case tells us that the South looks very pcor and hard-up. A fearful drougt has been experienced and cotton, the principal crop, is short and of very poor quality. Get your sale bills printed at, the Journal office.

Big Dinner Mr. and Mrs. Edward Coy gave an elaborate dinner, Sunday, in h onor of their daughter. Cecel, of Detroit, Mich., to the ' families of William, Sylvester, Irvin, Clarence, and Carl Coy, and their mother, Mrs. Mary Coy. Geo. Kuhn and wife, Mrs. Calisha Evans of Goshen, and Miss Marie Hill of Fort Wayne, also were present. Music was furnished on phonagraph and organ by George Kuhn and Irvin Coy. The Journal force can speak with authority on the excellence of the dinner. Mrs. Coy kindly remembered us with a box of good things which we greatly enjoyed. This paper now has the largest circulation in Kosciusko county, outside of Warsaw. Divorce Wanted In the circuit court Nita P. Bunger has sued Imen M. Bunger for divorce. They were married Feb. 13, 1909, and separated Jan. 31, 1911. Abandonment is the charge, it being set forth that Bunger sold his household effects and made himself scarce. There are two children—Eleanor A. four years and Marjorie M. aged two years. In December of 1911 the plaintiffs secured a j udgment of $4. per week against the defendant for the support of the two children. This sum, she claims is insufficient and it is asked that the amount be increased to $5 per week. Mrs. Bunger wants a divorce and the custody of the children. —Goshen Democrat.

GDMMUNITT SHOCKED GT SUDDEN DEATH Frank B. Mann Dies On Operating Table At Chicago Hospital Our citizens were surprised and shocked, Tuesday evening, when the intelligence was received by telephone from Chicago, that Frank B. Mann had died at Wesley hospital, while preparations were under way for an operation for appendicitis. Mr. Mann was apparently in his usual health last Sunday and showed no symptoms Gs illness until about half-past four, Monday morning, when he was attacked with cramps and vomiting. A physician was- called and on Tuesday morning decided that an operation was the only chance available of prolonging life. The unfortunate man’s heart was so weak that he could not be put under the influence of ether and it was necessary to take him to Chicago, the nearest place where gas could* be administered. Harry Mann of Montpelier, a brother of the deceased, and Dr. B. F. Hoy, accompanied the patient to Chicago, leaving here Tuesday afternoon. He was put upon the operating table, but died several minutes after being placed there. Frank B. Mann was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Mann, and was born in Syracuse on May 15, 1879, making his age 34 years, 4 months and eight days. He was employed for many years at the F. L. Hoch drug store and on July 21, 1901, was united in marriage to Miss Blanche Hindeter. To this union three children were born: Nellie, Harry and Alice; the mother departing this world June 7, 1907. On February 15, 1911. the deceased was wedded to Miss Lulu D. 'Haney, who survives him. They acquired the Quality Drug Store about two years ago and have been successful in conducting the business. Previous to this Mr. Mann had been employed for a short time in Bremen.

Mr. Mann is survived by two brothers, Clarence and Harry, and a sister, Mrs. Mabie Younce, all of Montpelier.’ He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and a former member of the Eagles: Frank B. Mann enjoyed the friendship of many and the enmity of none. His sunny disposition endeared him to his large circle of acquaintances and he is mourned with genuine regret by all who knew him. J. W. Rothenberger left Wednesday morning for Chicago to take charge of the body and make the necessary asrangements, and the funeral party was expected to arrive Wednesday evening at 8:45. The funeral arrangements will be found on another page of this paper. Swallowed Button Hook The four year old daughter of Prof. Watters of Larwill swallowed a buttod hook. The child’s throat was badly lacerated in the process of recovering the hook. Carried $4,000 Insurance The late J. E. McDonald of Ligonier carried $4,000 life insurance, $2,000 in the old line and $2,000 fraternal.

Has New Home This office is in receipt of a copy of the Lynn Haven, (Fla.) Tribune which contains the picture of the beautiful new home of Mr. and Mrs E. P. Truesdell, former Syracuse residents. The residence is in the heart of a tropical grove overlooking the Bay. Mrs. Truesdell has the distinction of being one of five women who, unaided by mere man, promoted and successfully launched a county fair. This is said to be the first county fair that was ever managed and conducted e xchisively by women. Rev. Getter Leaves Rev. H. C. Getter left Tuesday for his home in Dayton, Ohio, where after a visit with his parents, he wil re-enter school at Chicago to finish » his ministerial education. Rev. Getter gives promise of being a success in his chosen work and it is with regret that they give him up, although wishing him success in his studies. Rev. Rex will occupy the pulpit at Grace Lutheran church next Sunday evening. Millersburg P. M. Resigns Luther Juday has resigned -as Millersburg postmaster and will farm.

Teams have been at work excavating in the yard back of the school building. The work is being done so that coal can be put in more easily and so that the drainage will be better. The number in the Senior class this year surpasses that of any for met year. There are seven girls and sixteen boys. It very seldom occurs that the number of boys exceeds the number of girls. The two Literary Societies held a meeting on Monday evening fur reorganizing.

38 YEARS AGO. Taken From The Files Os The Syracuse Enterprise Os 38 Years Ago. Mrs. Oliver Cromwell has been quite sick for several days. The apple crop of this vicinity is not very heavy this season. We beleive that a private banking house would pay in Syracuse. Henry Strieby talks of coming to town and engage in business in the spring. Jacob Ott, with his daughters, was visiting friends in Ohio for the last week or two. Francis Boner has our thanks for some cider. He informs us that there would be very little cider this year. The Millersburg News will not be published this week in consequence of the foreman going to the Exposition at Indianapolis. That is enterprise for you. We understand that Gerber & Banta will occupy the west room in the new brick block when it is completed. S. L. Ketring & Co. will occupy the corner room. Henry Pronnet and Wm. Widner have entered into partnership in the business of house, sign, carriage and ornamental painting. See their “add.” in another column. Mr. Samuel Stetler and family of Onondago, Mich., are visiting with relatives here and at Benton. Mr. Stetler is a brother of J. W. Stetler, of the firm of Stetler & Kindig, and is the proprietor of a flouring mill at Onondago. He gave us a call on Saturday. The friends of Mr. Benj. Banta brother of James Banta of the firm of Gerber & Banta, will be pained to learn of his death, which occurred on Sunday night, at the home of his parents near Albion. The disease which caused his untimely death was typhoid fever, we believe, and his remains were buried on Tuesday, . at Ligonier. Our patrons and freinds are not j forgetting us.
