FARMERS ARE ORbANIZING Between Seventy-Five And A Hundred Have Already Enrolled Several weeks ago a meeting was held at the school house in an effort to secure the co operation of all who are interested in an institute for the farmers. The called meeting was not well attended and those present decided to canvass this township and adjacent territory. The canvass has been successful and the membership enrolled will probably reach the 100 mark. The cost is only 25 cts. per member and this nifmber of members will enable the institute to secure the servicces of two lecturers, some time in Febru ary, the amount collected to be used in defraying the transportation and local expences of the speakers, and also the renting of a suitable hall. Farmer’s institutes are recognized as a remarkable factor for good and the benefits have long been known. In fact a farmers institute flourished in Syracuse nearly forty years ago, and with the present method of securing competent speakers for the mere paying of their expences, we should not hesitate to test its merits for our own satisfaction. If you have not already been apprached by one of the workers, communicate with Prof. C. C. Bachman and lend your support to a worthy cause. SYRACUSE LOSES TWQ GAMES NAPPANEE AND ALBION BOTH WIN FROM LOCALS Syracuse high school lost both games of basket ball played last week. On Thursday Nappanee secured 20 points to the local’s 14; and Friday, Albion won with a 31 to 24 score. In the Nappanee game, their referee seemed to look upon that team as one that could do no wrong, but no foul, either real or fancied, on the part of Syracuse; escaped his whistle. All the old school house could hold attended this game. The home team went down to defeat at Albion Friday evening. They played on a wax floor and being unused to it did a little more slipping around than is cousisteutwith good basket ball. They were well satisfied with their treatment there however. 10,000 beers—l7 Men Maine’s big game season ended last week. The estimated number of deer killed was 10,000. Seventeen persons were killed in in the woods, seven by accidental discharge of their own guns, four through being mistaken for deer, three by dragging guns muzzle first, two by getting within range of men firing at game, and one by drawing. Several meu have been arrested for reckless shooting. Will Not Rebuild Immediately - Mr. and Mrs. James Borts, who lost their home by fire, last week, have accepted A. E. Coy’s kind offer and will occupy his vacant house, two miles south of here. The milk of human kindness is plentiful in this neighborhood and while the loss to Mr* and Mrs. Borts is large, their experiences have been made easier by the help of generous. Mends They will not build until next spring. Lecture Patronized The lecture given under the auspices of the Ladies Aid Society of the M E. church at the Opera House, Friday evening, was poorly attended, owing no doubt to the counter attractions and the holiday season. Dr. James Graves Whiting, the speaker, gave his lecture, “Graft and the grafter”, in an able manner, and the audience were well satisfied with both the speaker and his hand* ling of the sutyeet.

CHRISTMAS IN THE OLnEN TIME. The wassail round, in good brown bowls, Garnished with ribbons, blithely trowls. There the huge sirloin reeked; hard by Plum porridge stood, and Christmas pie, Nor failed old Scotland to produce, At such high tide, her savory goose. Then came the merry maskers iu, And carols roared with blithesome din. If unmelodious was the song, It was a hearty note and strong. Who lists may in the mumming see Traces of ancient mystery. White skirts supplied the masquerade, And smutted cheeks the visors made. But, oh, what maskers richly dight Can boast of bosoms half so light! England was merry England when Old Christmas brought his sports again. ’Twas Christmas broached the mightiest ale; ’Twas Christmas told the merriest tale. A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man’s heart through half the year. —Sir Walter Scott 38 YEARS AGO. Taken From the Files oi : The Syracuse Enterprise of 38 Years Ago.

RUMOR OF 810 I FOUR EXTENSION Will Take Over S. & M. Line Or So It Is Reported A rumor is io circulation in some | quarters that the Big Four is talking j of using the Syracuse & Milford Ry. I for the purpose of rtmning trains to Lake Wawasee. This report has been circulated at numerous times before, but in most instances has been mainly newspaper prattle, from no very authentic source. This time the information seems to come from men with plenty of means and ability and a little more credence is given the report. Os course, the local interurbau project may have a tendency to make quiescent the Big Four proposition, as the local people have by far the better chance of financial returns and with the Goshen, Syracuse, &. Ft. Wayne line in operation, little reason for an extension from Milford is apparent. UNITED BRETHREN BUY FARM PROVIDE HOME FOR WORN OUT MINISTERS

The United Brethren people were very happily surprised on last Sunday morning by the presence of Rev. H. A, Sechrist of Westerville, Ohiowho was here about five years ago iu the interest of church erection. Rev. Sechrist preached a veiy helpful and inspiring sermon both in the morning and evening, presenting the subject of the Otterbein home after the morning service. Being field secretary of this home, Rev. Sechrist acquainted the local church of the short history of the home, stating that in March the United Brethren denomination bought of the Shaker organization, a farm, located in Warren county, Ohio, twenty miles south of Dayton, consisting of four thousand and five acres, for the consideration of $350, 000. The farm has on it about fifty buildings, twelve of which are large and well constucted dwellings, some of which have as many as fourty rooms finished in cherry, and black and white walnut. Practically all of the farm can be cultivated and many hundreds of acres were farmed last year by eight tenants together with the superintendent, Mr. King. This farm is to be used by the United Brethren as a self-supporting home for old and worn out preachers and their wives, together with other old people and children and friends of the church who are dependent upon charity. This act is decidedly the greatest enterprise pertaining to practical Christianity that the church has ever undertaken, and because of the large scale upon which it will be worked, it will be unsurpassed by any organization in America.
