If. c. ui® SPECIAL MEETING Observe Day Set Aside for Fasting and Prayer

Last Thursday will go down in history as an auspicious day for the W. C. T. U. January 15 was set aside by the National meeting of the Union at Asbury Park. N. J., as a day of fasting and prayer; also to inform the masses of the people the necessary steps to be taken to bring about the Prohibition Amendment. The Union had a short program. The 146th Psalm war read by Mrs. Niles. A very ardent prayer was offered by Rev. Eaton, after which the Proclamation was read i by Mrs. Amanda i The ladies’ quartet certainly did their best, for the music was fine. Mrs. Cloud sang a solo entitled "Make the Map all White.” which was very fine. J. P. Dolan then commended the women for their untiring efforts in holding the temperance focus together in Turkey Creek township; also made plain the steps to be taken to procure state and National Prohibition. Rev. Chas. A. Cloud very definitely pointed out some of the obstacles that made it hard for parents to raise children in communities where they are compelled to come in contact daily with the out-put of the saloon. John T. Riddle read the “Call for the meeting and the proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States,” as presented by Congressman Hobson and Senator Shepard. He urged that the way for all the people to make themselves felt in the present congress on this question, is for each one to write a personal letter to Hon. H. A. Barnhart, B. S. Shively and JW. Kern, our representatives, saying that we favor tbe amendment. Miss Catherine Rapp sang in a very beautiful and impressive manner a solo entitled “Have I done My Best?" Mrs. Ida Strieby gave a short select reading which was very good. At four o’clock the children marched in singing “America.” Rev. Eaton gave the children ah illustration of what alcohol would do for their young tender, plastic brain by using an egg, which is nearest like the composition of brain matter and covered it with alcohol. Ina very short time it was hardend and not fit for any use, so the brain matter was disqualified by strong alcoholic drinks. The next regular meeting of the W. C. T. U. will be at Mrs. Allen Wright’s on Wednesday, Feb. 4.

ARE CONSIDERING . CHANGE OF ROUTE Cromwell And Kimmell Would Like An Interurban , Line Cromwell and Kimmell would like to be on the route of the Fort Wayne, Syracuse & Goshen electric railway 1 according to advices received from those towns in the past few days. Just what chance there is of the proposed route being changed, we are not prepared to state. During the past several weeks, the local committee have been busy inquiring into the history and reputation of the firms and individuals who are connected with the promotion of the new railway. Three reports from Bradstreet, and Dunn have been more than satisfactory, and all questions asked in connection with Dr. Samuel F. George, have brought back excellent and lauding replies. Press of work has kept the committee from doing much in Syracuse, but what time they have been out shows a decided sentiment in favor of the proposition. Butler—Alms The marriage of Jethro Butler, of near Claypool, and Charlotte Alms, of Warsaw, occurred at the Methodist parronage at Warsaw at 6 o’clock on Sunday evening, the ceremony being performed bv Rev. A. G. Neal, pastor of the church. Mr. and Mrs. Butler will make their home on a farm near Ck pool. M. E. Church The revival meetings will continue all this week. Much interest is shown bv the good attendance. The Communion of the Lord’s Supper will be observed next Sunday morning. In the evening Dr Light will preach and afterward conduct the fourth quarterly conference. G. A. R. Encampment The 48th annual G. A. R. encampment will start at Detroit, Mich., on August 31st.

Victim of Accident Dies Wm. A. McCreary, who was caught under a falling tree last week, died at the Goshen hospital Friday. Rice Lowe of New Paris, was a stepson of the deceased.

This is a strengthening argument for the advocates of the small farm that allows of closer supervision.
