The roads are at present in excellent condition, the snow being just packed enough to make sleighing excellent and as a consequence Decatur was visited by a large crowd yesterday. Should the roads continue such for a week or so the business men would certainly be happy. A man advised his son to go into a dry gocds store, begin at the bottom of the ladder and work up. Two weeks after the boy came to him and said: “Father, I did as you told me. I went to the store, began at the bottom of the ladder and worked up, and when I got to the top they set me to washing windows,” Owing to the fact that the managers of the glove factory have been unable to contract for their supply of the coming year, they were forced to close down their plant for a few days. Mr. Waring is unable to state for how long, but hopes that it will not be for any great length of time. This plant has closed down for the first time in a number of years. Fortunately the heavy snow and wind of a few nights ago did not do any damage to the electric line and during all the storm the streets were well lighted. The superintendent was kept on uneasy street fearing the line would break as the same is very weak in numerous places. The citizens have been fortunate this winter as they have been without light on but one occasion. J. B. Stoneburner, in compliance with a ruling recently made by the insurance board, has put an exit in the near of hijs show room and in case of Are those in front would experience no trouble in getting out of the building. The passage to this door is clear, there being nothing in the way to prevent egress. Mr. Stoneburner is taking every precaution to make this place safe and should be congratulated upon his move. o FOR SALE —A good Lakeside organ, cheap. Inquire of D. B. Erwin. 45-3 t
