There are now four young men from
this settlement, attending the Lima
Business college, namely Gottlieb
Schnegg, Lloyd Basinger, Carey Neu-
enschwander and Memo Augsburger.
G.. A. Schwab and family, who NOV
ed to Olson, Mich, last spring year

which time he also offered his farm
for sale. We understand that he will
move back again, whether he can sell
his land or not.
An unusual occurrence will, if God
spares the couple another week, take
place next Tuesday, Nov. 20, namely
the golden wedding of John S. and
Mrs. Amstutz, at their beautiful home
two miles southwest of Bluffton, it be-
ing the third one this year that we
can count among the people from
whom we principally write. The read
ers will remember the other two, those
of Peter and Mrs. Bixel, and Fred and
Mrs. Welty. These three weddings
were solemnized in 1856, all within a
mile from the place where we are sit
ting to chronicle these happenings.
This next week will be in all proba-
bility the equal to the previous ones,
as they expect guests from Olson,
Mich, Canton, Ohio, and other places.
The number may reach over rs guests.

Coon Season Can't
Be Closed EnrIy

Hunters cannot legally be barred
from taking coon until Jan. Is, the
date originally set for closing of the
season, but state conservation Off
cials this week broadcast a plea for
hunters to refrain from further de-
pleting the stock of coon after JAM
uary 1.
Because reports indicated the take
of coon had been unusually heavy
during the early part OF the season,
conservation officials last week at
tempted to change the closing date
from Jan. Is to Jan. /.
Attorney General Thomas J. Her.
bert ruled, however, that the change
would be contrary to law, which re-
quires that public hearings be held
before fishing and hunting regula-
tions can be changed.
AS consequence, the closing date
will remain as Jan. Is, but conserva-
ton officials are asking hunters to
cooperate by ceasing their hunting
expeditions after the first of the
year.
Rabbit season viii close on Jan. 1,
and quite a few hunters are expect
ed in the field thruout this week to
get their last chance at the cotton
tails for another year.
