The book on which Fred Landis, fprmer republican congressman from the Eleventh district, has been working for several months, has at last been published and is reviewed by the Cincinnati Times-Star, by one of the best book reviewers of 4he country.

Many a Decatur citizen gave Street Commissioner James Smith a kind thought this morning when they found he had started out bright and early with his snow plow and the principal walks about the city were navigable on foot by 7 o’clock. Such work requires energy and a devotion to duty and we believe that the people appreciate it. Any person who thinks it's a snap to crawl out before daylight on a morning like this'and make paths through fifteen inches of snow certainly never tried. Most of us think it a big chore to sweep a little path about the yard.
