many friends who remember the
splendid record he made as prOsecut-
ing attorney from 1882 to 1886, Mr..
George A. Amos of Humboldt has
consented 10 become a candidate for
the office of County Attorney. Mr..
Amos came to Allen County in the
early days and engaged at Humboldt
in the beginning in the mercantile
business, but soon after abandoned
it for the practice af law in which he
has been eminently successful, being
recognized as one of the strongest
attorneys at the Allen County Ear.
Owing to the death of his father Mr..
Amos was obliged to go TO H., few
years ago and spend some time there
in settling up the large family estate.
But as soon as that business was
completed he returned to his old

A SURPRISE.

1t was a merry gathering of the
clans" under the fine old trees sur
rounding Mr.. Chas. Knowlton's home,
in the late afternoon of June 23d.
The occasion: a surprise supper in
honor of Mr.. KS 47th birth day.
Long tables with their snowy cloths
were laden with the choice and in
viting dishes, for which the ladies of
Geneva and vicinity are so famous.
The surprise was complete. Mr..
Knowlton, surrounded by his friends,
of whom at least $50 were present,
was escorted to the seat of honor at
the table. A fitting prayer was Of
fered by Rev. s. NJ. Irwin of Geneva,
followed by the happy presentation
speech of Rev. r. J. Maginnis Of
Neosho Falls, who, on behalf of Mr..
Knowlton's friends, presented him
with cosy and most inviting arm

for the sterling. mental and moral
qualities of Mr.. Knowlton they could
but slightly show their appreciation
of the many kindnesses and services
he had rendered them both person.
ally and as a community.
Mr. KnowltOn's acknowledgment of
the gifts was most eloquent-the elo-
quence of silence which follows when
the feelings are deeply touched.
Every heart responded to the emotion
that sealed his lips. 1t was a full
and happy moment. Many thanks
are due the ladies who worked to
such happy success, particularly to
Mrs. E. Mabie with whom the idea
first took shape. She gave her time
and valuable services gladly.
At night fall most of the older heads
had bid Mr.. Knowlton and his charm
ing family a CHEEKY good night. A
few fingered for "last word" The
merry voices of the lads and lassles,
deep in the joys of croquet and foot
ball in the lovely moonlight, was
borne indoors on the soft night air.
1t was the close of a happy event, to
be recalled as one of those "rare white
days" by those who were present.

Any boy with half sense who went to
school to David Smith at Carlyle for
half dozen years could not help
learning a good deal of something.
He either learned, or he had his ears
pulled two or three inches longer than
they really ought to be. They used
to say up in the country that you
could tell how boy stood in his
classes in that school by the length of
his ears But Col. Whitaker's ears
are all right.
In 1880 he married Miss Ella NJ.
Waters and about year afterwards
removed To lola where he has since
lived and where he has ven the good
opinion of all the people by the recti-
tude of his conduct, the geniality of
manner and disposition, and by his
active public spirit. He served as
secretary of the Fair Association dur
ing the first two years of its existence
and contributed greatly to the splen-
did success that it achieved. He
made many acquaintance in all parts
of the county while serving in this
capacity, and this fact, added to the
further facts of his long residence in
the county, his conceded ability to
fill the office with the highest credit,
and his lifelong activity in the service
of the Republican party, will make
him strong candidate in the ap-
preaching contest.
