Notice is hereby officially given to the newly elected democratic county central committee that you meet a't the court house, in the city of Decatur. Indiana, at 10 o’clock a. m., on Friday, December 26, fur the purpose or reorganizing and for the purpose of selecting delegates to the district convention, under orders from the state committee. It is Important that all members be present. J. W. BOSSE, 289t9 Chairman. It is now believed that tile currency bill will become a law before Christmas. There has been some complaint by the hasty heads over the delay in acting on it. Yet congress has been in session a little over eight months, and that is certainly not an excessive amount of time to give to the consideration of two great pieces of legislation such has the tariff and currency bills. It seems to us that the country ought rather to be thankful that the senate refused to be hurried. -For. as a result of the deliberation, we shtill get a measure far better than was gen-j • rally hoped for when the currency bill was presented, last June. It is -o much better, indeed, that most of our people are now prepared to accept <t as reasonably satisfactory. Other changes are proposed that will s'ill further improve it. So the time which borne think of as lost has, in our opinion. been very profitably employed.— Indianapolis News. The selection of Frank C. Dailey ot

■ * p Bluffton as the successor of Charles - W. Miller in the office of district at- * torney is a very commendable one and B brings to the front a lawyer of notable r ability and fine character. Mr. Dailey lias been a country lawyer in Indiana and has received in this way that training that has stood so well in hand the great majority of those who have 3 risen to distinction in the legal profes- ■* sion in this state.
