Bluffton, Ind Aug. business men in all the towns along the will meet tMs city Wednesday evening, August 15, at 7:30 The purpose of the meeting will be an attempt to devise some way of keeping the line in running order, which can probably only be done by the organization of a company to buy and maintain the road. The road is to sell September 24. with no restrictions, and unless something is done the equipment will be sold to junk dealers, which will, of course, mean that the rails will be taken up and the right-of-way turned over to the farmers. To Bluffton, as well as the other towns along the line, this will work a great hardship, and it is the purpose of the meeting in this city to plan for keeping the road.

Huntington, Portland, Pennville and the smaller towns along the route will be well represented, it is thought. DR. DICEET TENDERS HIS RESIGNATION Quits Secretary of Winona Assembly After Serving for Twenty-three Years. Winona Lake, Aug. many friends of Dr.
