Ossian, Ind., June 10. -- The tabernacle services drew a large delegation of Christian workers to Ossian last evening. The Bible classes of the Ossian churches were also very well represented in the marching line before the services began. At each evening session the crowds are now so large that it is impossible to take care of them and the highest degree of interest is being shown. The number of decisions are increasing each evening, and are reckoned satisfactory by those who are conducting the services. Prayer meetings open to the public are being held each morning at 9:30 at the picture show building. The earnest work of Rev. J. H. McComb and wife and of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Close, supplemented by the activity of the personal workers of all the churches, is bearing great fruit.
Mr. and Mrs. Wes Bailey have had with them as their guest Dr. Ray Weaver, of Indianapolis.
Mrs. John Caston has had as her guest Mrs. S. E. Sawyer, of Bluffton.
W. W. Fryback was appointed by the county commissioners to fill the vacancy of trustee of Jefferson township. The vacancy was caused by the resignation of S. E. Stine. Mr. Fryback's good fortune has won the congratulations of his friends, and the choice of the commissioners seems to be a popular one.
Dr. A. H. Metts, according to the will filed for probate yesterday, left his entire property to his adopted daughter, Mrs. Aleena Doan, of Fort Wayne. The will was made July 16, 1907, and witnessed by J. S. Krewson and A. S. Elzey.
A. S. Elzey has disposed of an Allen county farm, the figures running to more than $20,000.
The funeral of M. J. Gorrell, 85, was held yesterday from the Presbyterian church, the Masonic fraternity having charge of the services. Mr. Gorrell was one of the pioneers of this vicinity, and left hundreds of friends.
Miss Elizabeth Demaree, who has been teaching at Youngstown, O., is here visiting Mr. and Mrs. John Hanna and other friends. Miss Demaree was formerly teacher of English in the Ossian high school.
Mr. and Mrs. Dave Swaim, of Bluffton, were in Ossian yesterday.
Mrs. J. O. Hatfield and son, Hiram Hatfield, and Oscar Haynes, of Indianapolis, were here to attend the funeral of Mrs. Hatfield's father, Milo J. Gorrell.
The K. of P. lodge held its quiet memorial services last evening at 7 o'clock. The order, led by the band, carried flowers to Oak Lawn and read the ritualistic work for the occasion.
