The annual meeting Of the Farmers
Elevator Company attended by some
seventy stockholders, was held one
week ago at the Farmers National
Bank, the reports showing surprising
growth and prosperity for the first
six months, ending January Ia. Stir
ring speeches were made and much
enthusiasm manifested. j. c. Crawford
and R. G. Kerr, retiring members of /
the board of directors, we're unani.
mously elected for term of three
years. The officers are: j. L. Daugh-
erty, president; Joseph Fry, vice presi-
dent; George A. Wemhaner, secre-
tary; and John M. Hungate, treasurer.
The elevator has paid an advance
Of &c per bushel on grain over other
points and 30c per 100 ON hogs making
Warsaw better market than any
town around here, even towns on the
G. B. & @. east of here. Farmers come
here now with their grain and stock
who have not been here for twenty
years, because Warsaw tops the mar
ket," and also farmers who in later
years were weaned away, have now
come back to their first love, more |
, loyal than ever; there Is an attrac-
ton that will win every time. There's !
, reason" as our friend Post of Bat
tie Creek says. BY these good prices
for hogs and grain $1,000 have gone
into the pockets of Warsaw's friends
instead Of "the other fellows" who
have no interest here. The profits on
the business for the six months Just
closed figure up about 35.s per cent on
the capital invested.
Warsaw's taxes for all purposes for
1913 are reduced nearly $4,000, or
about per cent. City taxes are $4,-
600 less than in 1912.

1 Word was received last week
through a San Diego, Calf, paper,
! that Captain Cyrus B. Adams, who
served under Admiral Porter on his
flagship Black Hawk during the civil
war, had died on Thanksgiving day,
after long illness. The funeral was
Saturday, November 20. He was aged
Sc years. Before the war he was a
/! railroad man and ran the first train
into Chicago on the c. NJ. 6 st. P. Ry.,
in 1851. On the flagship Black Hawk he
was first engineer, and afterwards
4 promoted to captain. For many years
he was proprietor of the Adams
House in Warsaw which was named
after him. His remains will be ship
ped here for burial beside the grave OF
his wife.
4 The Warsaw Odd Fellows have
voted $40 for the monument fund. A
good example.
Warsaw has been sued for $4,000
) because clover huller and engine
slipped down steep hill and ran into
a creek, and injured the owner, who
neglected to have some one follow
close behind the outfit and chuck"
y the wheels, when it showed symptoms
. of slipping.
Earl Wallace, chief of the fire de-
partment, attended the state firemen's
convention in Canton last week.
. The parsonage of the German M.
e. church is to be wired and electric
lights installed, at the expense of the
Cleaners Bible class. This class
though small has been very liberal in
its donations for the beautifying and
improvement of the church and also
: for the various boards.
