Several hunting parties from Decatur are enjoying the southern clime at present and one party is in the north. The number of Decatur people who hunt for big game is increasing each year and they all claim it is the best sport yet The best of C. W. Mercer's numerous attractions tnis season is the breazy comedy, “The Cry Baby,” with the welF known character actor, Carlton Guy, as the star. Mr. Guy is remembered for his connection with the famous Guy Stock company, in which he was featured for many seasons. A strong acting company is in his support in his new play. Local theater goers have a treat in store for them next Thursday, Nov. 19, when Carlton Guy, the well known character actor will appear at the opera house in Mercer Bros.’ latest comedy dramas, “The Cry Baby” which has scored the distinct hit of the season. Mr. Guy is cast Jo excellent advantage, and is surrounded by a strong company of metropolitan players.

Mrs. Mary Sutllff has gone to Monroe on a several days’ visit. Mrs. Henry Meyer went to Berne this morning to visit her husband and returned on the afternoon train Dick Sillig returned to Portland this morning after paying a pleasant visit with old time friends in the city.

Hyland went to Berne, where he will superintend a big job of plumbing to be dome at a residence a short distance in the country. The Decatur gentlemen who are representing the local order I. O. O. F. are having a pleasant time. Several ot the party will remain until the very close of the state session which is being held at Indianapolis. The improvements on the various school buildings add much to the convenience of the public institutions and the board is to be congratulated for the manner in which they have acted in making needed repairs. Never before in the history of our schools ,has as much interest been manifest as is now the case and they are pros- ! pering as never before, in attendance and every other department. The people should plan to do their Christmas shopping early and thus avoid the usual unpleasantness nt big jams in the stores. If Decatur people ■ will take the time to look over the big and valuable assortments of goods of all the stores we will vemture that not a dollar will be spent outside of the city. The prices are right and quality unexcelled. Watch for the announcements in the Democrat. I The sum of S6OO has ben accepted in settlement of the $2,000 suit against the Fort Wayne aruT Wabash Valley Traction company for the death of

Miss Katherine Freshour, who was struck by a trolley car near Wabash in October, 1907, while riding in a buggy with her sweetheart, Ozro Mason. Mason was fearfully injured, but survived, and it is reported that he has settled his suit against the company for $3,200. Unknown persons deposited a basket containing a babe on the doorstep of David Foutz home at Wabash Saturday evening. Pinned to the infant's clothing was a note which read: “If you can’t keep this baby, find a home for him. it was born Sept. 24, 1908. Its mother has gone and left it.” Upon the cottcn blanket in the bottom of the basket were Huntington newspapers dated October 16 and October 20 The babe's garments were richly made. Considerable interest was caused here this morning when it was learned that Peter Van Vlissengen, brother of Aaron Van Vlissengen, who married a relative of George Stover, grccer, and who has visited here, had been arrested and convicted of forging notes and checks to the extent of $700,000, Although Peter Van Vlissengen was never here, his brother is well known In this city. Both are interested In the real estate business and it is feared the brother will be a j loser with other business men of Chi-cago.—-Bluffton Banner. Thomas Qulckmore resigned his position as pumper at the Clover Leaf yesterday morning and was succeeded by a man from Frankfort. This morning this fellow was relieved and another man hired but the place is not a permanent one for the new man. Considerable difficulty has arisen with the officials in securing a man, who will attend to the pump and place switch lights with no raise in salary. It wa 8 first thought that the pumpers of the road would go on a strike for higher wages when this work was put on them, but the matter will probably be settled in a short time satisfactory to all concerned. —Bluffton Banner.

Isadore Kalver will go to Chicago today to look after the sale of a large quantity of old iron and other junk. Isadore insists that his business has brightened considerably since the election.

Try it this year.

Wittwer, and Mr. Luginbill moves into his residence which Mr. Engeler and family occupied.—Berne Witness. The Masonic lodge here held one of the best meetings of the year last night, when three young men from Preble were given the first degree. A large number of members were present ' and the evening was the usual enjoyable one. The lodge has recently secured the finest set of slides used in ‘ Indiana for the lectures and these stereopticon views add greatly to the im- ' pressiveness of the ceremonies.

The grand jury is the busiest of any | session of that body in Decatur for! several years, and from the number oi witnesses who are being it would not be surprising if there were a large number of indictments returned.
