Last night was the coldest yet this season and the weather man got good and even for the past balmy weather. The thermometer registered to the zero mark and the various store windows were frosted from top to bottom This is the kind of weather the ice man has. been praying for, and for his benefit we trust the same may keep up for several weeks, or until he gets up his supply of ice. 1 From the annual reports of the nine township trustees, the county auditor has compiled a formula showing the number of sheep .killed by dogs in the year 1907, and the amount of money it has cost the county to reimburse the farmers whose flocks were the victims. Although the total amounts to the large sum of $1,500, the dog tax for the year was just double that sum, and after all the county is not the loser. —Bluffton Banner.

Mike, like many others, has had his seige of lagrippe, and although not over the disease, yet could not resist the temptation to come to Decatur.

Farmers, get ready to attend this sale and make your spring j purchases. Four large crowds saw the show last evening at the Pictorium and that the film “All Baba and the Forty Thieves’’ pleased is evidenced by the fact that manager Stoneburner has been requested to reproduce the show again this evening, which he w-ill do. i The film is highly colored and is beautiful to behold. At other places an I admission of ten cents is being ■ charged but Mr. Stoneburner insists that he will treat the public right by leaving the price of admission the same.
