During the past school year there were seventy-four students enrolled in the eighth grade.

The • injured member was cared for and after suspending work for a few hours, he was able to resume his duties. , Decatur readers of the Muncie and Indianapolis Stars have noticed the absence of murder and scandal stories from the front pages of those publications. While neither paper lacks a bit of sensationalism it is not to be found on the front cover in the future. This is due to an order of George C. Hitt, of Indianapolis, who was recently made receiver for the Star league. It is an original idea of the receiver that such news, always the most sought for, will enhance the value of advertising space on the inside.

Many Pleased Customers are Continually Advertising Our Furniture

There is a reason for this. In the first place; a customer must be pleased before he will speak in glowing terms of the purchases made by him. In the second place; he must have value received for the money expended before he will express a favorable opinion to others. We are pleased to know that we have been able to save money for so many people, by selling them good, substantial and reliable furniture at the same prices they would be compelled to pay for cheaper grade furniture at other places. If you don’t call on us before purchasing, you don’t know what you are missing.
