fine Shorthorn cattle and yet there
are only about 500 head here. Per-

year more cattle of this special line
should find their home here.

the subject was taken up by the soci-
ETY. and a committee was appointed
to wait upon the commissioners be-

The committee as appointed by the

Centerville, includes Isaac Dougan,
chairman; T. E. Kenworthy and John

the committee w. c. Reynolds read a

The committee is to try to have the

Saturday is usually a dull day. So
cially, but here of late number of
the clubs and social organizations of
this city have been meeting at this
time.
The reception which is to be given
for Governor and Mrs. Marshall at
the Prop laeum, Monday evening, was
arranged by the personal, college and
social friends of the honor guest. The
only political aspect that might be at
tached to it is the fact that all the
members of the Legislature are in
vited. Neither the Governor, any Of
fetal nor candidate for Senator sent
invitations, but all received them. The
hosts and hostesses are Indianapolis
people entirely. Mr.. and Mrs. Evans
Woollen and Mr.. and Mrs. William
Mode Taylor have been assigned to
the duty of introducing the out-of
town guests to the Indianapolis peo
pie. Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Adams and
Mr.. and Mrs w. F. McLallen, of Co
| lumbia City, who are to be house
guests Of Governor and Mrs. Marshall
will receive with them. Samuel B
| Sutphin and John P. Frenzel, Jr., will
have charge Of the dancing. The re
ception is a social welcome to the
Governor and Mrs. Marshall, who
will make their home in this city fol
the next four years. The reception
will begin at o'clock and the dane
ing at 10 o'clock.-Indianapoli News
