The old settlers' meeting, or Garrett's, homecoming, as It Is called, which Is to be held ton Thursday of next week. promises to be an event of Interest, one that will attract to tji city a large number of former residents those whose homes are now at other places.

Jt will be ths annual celebration of the founding of Garrett, Its thirty second birthday anniversary, for Garrett's fcctlve settlement history has not yet covered a third of a century. The comrAe arrangements for thla ttear approHlng celebration have not yet been lAHe. The committee having' the marror In charge C. Rehyer, the chairman, II. W.

Thomas, Jas. el ham and P. M. Teeters will probably be able to announce the program In detail on Friday. Thla much, however, has been practically agreed upon the old settlers' meeting proper will be held at the city park.

There a great public dinner will be served 1'recodlng there will be public exercises, the welcome speech by Mayor K. It Thumma and a resporma address by one whose name the committee bus not yet made known. Following this will come the reminiscent remarks of the old settlers present. In Hie afternoon will come the most Interesting feature of the day, the dedication of the new high school building, the exercises of which will lo held at the school park. The building to be dedicated Is one whirl, was eroded during the past year, costing 126,000, the occupancy of which began with the opening of the schools thts month This event will be followed by the presentation to the school of a large and handsome American dag, a gift from tho ladles of the W.

The secretary. Rev. II. Is. Marvin, has sent out over BOO Invitations, and many of these former citizens will be here.

It will be a day fraught with pWiuuire and Interest, great day for Garrett and In this connection something concerning the history of the city will not be Inappropriate. Among the cities and towns of Northeastern Indiana Garrett Is one of the youngest. Kort Wayne had become a city of 25,000 population before the Idea of locating a town here had assumed any sort of shape. Auburn, Albion, Angola, 'oliunhla Clt Iagrango, Goehen, Klkhart, Kendall vllle. Warsaw, Huntington, Wabash, I.lufTton and Decatur were all places of considerable Importance before Garrett had taken on Its Infancy garments, yet In the race for population and busy Industry It has outru all but four or Ave of them and the largest city in DeKalb county, exceeding In tho number of Its Inhabitants' tho county seat.

Auburn, which began Its history as a city a quarter of a century before Garrett did. and eclipsing' Auburn In everything that goes to make up city except a county court house, county officials and a Jail. Garrett did not begin Its existence aa a town until 1176. It was In 1874 that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, tho line of which was then being projected through this locality, turned Its eye, or rather the eyes of Ita chief officials, on Garrett as a division plont, a location for tho building of their shops. The road was built and the shops located here, and then began tha history of the town.

The Uttle over a quarter of a century that haa since elapsed haa given a remarkable growth. To day It Is a city of 6,500 population and Increasing In tha number of Its Inhabitants constantly. In fact, so many are the newcomers to Garrett that many'of them And It Impossible to secure homes. It being ex 4rqmely difficult to And houses to rent. ANGOLA MINOR NEWS.
