Mr. Dedo, the leading jeweler of Geneva, was in our city Monday evi ening looking for a location for his store. Mr. Dedo expects to leave Geneva and has had his eye on Decatur for some time, and if he can secure suitable quarters will move to this city. He has several places in view, but up to this time has closed no contract, although he may do so in the near future. Mr. Dedo has quite a store at Geneva. Everything is moving along nicely at. the sale stables on First street for the big horse sale that will be held Friday and from all presen indications the same will be a decided success. The horses that will be ottered at this sale are arriving daily and there are some beauties in the lot that ought to bring the money. Several horsemen from the east are on hand already and several more are due to Itrrive Thursday which fact alone insures success for the sale managers.

The police are still working on the case and may have something to say definite in the near future.

E. France and which in the end will not materially change the percentage column, as both men have lost four games. Allison and O. France on last evening played their game, the latter winning by a score of 100 to 77, and by so doing left three men tied ,up for second and third place. The contest between Allison and France was interesting throughout, the latter giving Allison a handicap of ten billiards, which he made up early in the game and maintained throughout. Allison was not up to his regular form, this being due to a lack of practice. The three men who are now tied for second and third monies will meet some time today and play a three handed game, the winner to receive second money and the second man to be awarded third money’. This will make an exciting contest and will be one for blood. The tournament has been a success throughout and an other will be gotten up in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Robison, of High street arrived home from Berne, where they were visiting. Miss Eltie Rose, of Berne, arrived in the city last evening to resume her work at the “Times" office. She was suffering with an attack of the lagrippe while at her home. Hugh Hite received a letter Sunday from Paul Wooten, informing him that he expected to be in Decatur in rhe very near future. Paul has several business deals in view in the south that look decidedly good and is trying to induce some northern capital to push the thing along. He expects to remain in Decatur for several weeks and during that time will be the guest of Hugh Hite and wife. Business with the real estate men at this time is practically dead and these men are sored to content themselves by sitting around the fire and figuring out future deals. The winter is a bad time for this business, as there is nothing much doing. Several large deals are pending, however,which will be announced to the public when the blue birds sing and the parties have a chance to take possession. Last night was without doubt one of the coldest that has visited Decatur yet this winter and at seven o’clock this morning the thermometer registered eight degrees above zero. A solid week of this kind of weather would make us all wish that the heavy pressure of gas would be turned on at once. However, there is lone poor soul that would stand around with a smile on his face, that is the ice man and his daily prayer at this time is colder weather.
