The Decatur city council denote their enterprise in giving the Indiana Lighting company a franchise for the furnishing of artificial g°.s to this city. Decatur is always enterprising and gets the best of everything before the style wears out. i Macadam road building in Adams county will go on unabated during the < coming summer months, all of which 1 denotes that had the three-mile law ’ been repealed, a great injustice would ’ have been done to at least a large ,

percentage of the citizenship of this county. Rev. Powell, against whose return to the Warsaw Methodist church a protest was filed and signed by a number of the members of the church, for the reason that he voted for Tom Marshall for governor, has been sent to Decatur. Ind. The committee on appointments is to be commended for the sagacity displayed in placing this preacher. It was right not to return him to Warsaw, where

dissatisfaction existed, and it was ' wise to send him to Decatur, where ‘ democracy predominates so largely among the people. It was small busi- . ness for Warsaw Methodists to butt , in on the political rights of Rev. 1 Powell, but after the blunder had been committed there was nothing for the conference to do but to send him , to another charge.—Columbia City Post. *

The white following was victorious and the blue side was defeated, but only by two dollars. One dollar the total amount was given as a prize to the winning side, which made the sum of $59.60 credited to their account.
