The T. G. L. Club of Waldron, was pleasantly entertained last night in the basement of the fine new Methodist church by the Misses Pearl Davisson and Fern Bower. Each member of the club also had the privilege of bringing her gentleman friend. Twelve couples were present and the time was spent most enjoyably at games, music and contests. The favors in the contests were awarded to Misses Nancy Schneid, Lucile Davisson, Hazel Armstrong, Tressie Sanders, Bessie Theobald, and Messrs. Roy Keeling and Russell Crosby. A five three-course luncheon was served by the hostesses.Shelbyville, Ind.

ORPHANS IN NAME ONLY
----------
Twin Boys of Charles Davisson
Were Committed to Gordon Home Wednesday
------------
Orphans in their conditions but yet having a mother and father and grandparents also, the two little sons of Charles Davisson were yesterday committed to Gordon Home. Officer James Shaw placed the children there after the usual amount of red tape in such matters. They are two bright little fellows, twins, six years old and were left by their father, Charles Davisson, formerly of this city after separation from his wife with a widow by the name of Grobel, living at the extreme west end of Washington avenue. This happened about three months ago. Davisson agreed to pay Mrs. Grobel a certain sum of money each week for their maintenance. Davisson left for parts unknown, but has been paying the money regularly until the last two weeks. When the payments failed to come as usual, Mrs. Grobel notified the police and James Shaw was detailed to attend the matter.Thursday, September 15, 1904

Mrs. Grobel could not afford to keep the children without pay and their mother, who lives in the east end, had no place to take them. Mr. Shaw applied to the trustee for an order to place them in the Gorden Home, and on Wednesday obtained the same and took the children to that place. On arrival there those in charge refused to accept the boys on the ground that they were sick with whooping cough. After consultation with medical authorities, the boys were placed in the hospital department of the Home where they will be cared for.

SENSATIONAL SUIT
----------
Mary Davison Prays for a Divorce
From Ithamer Davison, and Wants $10,000 Alimony
----------
Perhaps one of the lengthiest divorce complaints ever filed in the Shelby Circuit Court was placed on the entry docket this morning. The title of the case is Mary Davison VS Ithamer Davison and the allegations are many. They were married December 1, 1892 and lived together until January 9, 1896, when, as Mrs. Davison alleges, she was compelled to leave her husband. She alleges in her complaint that she had frequently came to this city in company with Mr. Davison and that she would be compelled to go without anything to eat until she returned home, her husband refusing to procure her meals; when she would purchase any dress material of any description, she states he would curse and abuse her, calling her vile and improper names. Once when she was dangerously ill, Mrs. Davison alleges that Mr. Davison refused to allow a physician to be called to prescribe to her wants; she was frequently accused of killing her first husband, whose name was Money. Several times defendant had thrown the furniture out of the kitchen when plaintiff's children would visit her; chickens that belonged to her were not allowed to be fed with defendant's grain; once he sharpened a large butcher knife, so Mrs. Davison alleges, and placed it in her bed in such a manner that it would have stabbed her had she not discovered it. Mrs. Davison states that her husband has property to the value of $30,000 and that she asks a divorce and $10,000 alimony. She is representated by Hord & Adams. The defendant in the suit is well known over the county and is an ex-Commissioner. Plaintiff has been married twice before her marriage to defenadant. Her second husband's name was William Cochran.Thursday, March 12, 1896

Mr. Ithamer Davison, of Hendricks township, raised a few Australian beans this summer, samples of which he has brought to town.
The pods are only three feet long. How would you like to commence at the end of one of them and chew it to the other
end? Tuesday, September 13, 1898
