Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, | Indiana, as second-class mail matter, j PREDICT REPUBLICAN DEFEAT Republican defeat at the presidential election of 1912 was freely pre- , dieted at yesterday's sessions of the ! National Association of Hosiery and Underwear Manufacturers by its leading men, who declared that by that I time the effect on business in general, as the result of the recent tariff bill will be so great that the democratic party will elect the president and congress. Not only manufacturers and business men will come to realize the situation confronting them, but the working men also, several manufacturers declared, and the result will be that there will be a general political uprising.—Philadelphia Record. The article from which the above was taken went on to show the reason given by the manufacturers for being against the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. which was that it had not brought to them the promised prosperity. The rest of the people—just plain people who are trying to make an honest living—have reached the same conclusion, but from a very different viewpoint. The Payne-Aldrich tariff has brought prosperity to the favored and pampered few, but not to the toiling many. And it the toiling many who are going to have their say about it when they get to the polls. OBITUARY. Durbin Harb, son of Rhoda E. and Chauncey G. Harb, was born at Corning, Ark.. April 23, 1892, and died at St. Louis, Mo.. May 18, 1910, aged 18 years and 25 days. He leaves mother, four brothers and two sisters to mourn their loss, besides a host of friends, both at Corning, Ark., and Decatur. Durbin was loved by all who knew him for bis kindness toward everybody. He will be missed, not only in his home, but by the family with whom he lived in St. Louis. May God bless and comfort the bereaved cnes. The funeral services were conducted from the home Sunday afternoon by the Rev. Powell of the M. E. church, assisted by Rev. Imler of the U. B. church. Interment at Maplewood cemetery. LOST —A gold necklace, with about fifteen gold pendant. Will pay reward for its return. —Pansy Bell. 128t3

SOCIETY DOINGS St. Vincent de Paul Gives Surprise For Mrs. Newton Anderson. A BIRTHDAY PARTY For Ed Marschand Makes Things Merry in Preble Township—Club Notes. Hast thou ne'er seen the comet's flaming light? Th' illustrious stranger passing, terror sheds On gazing nations from his fiery train Os length enormous, takes his ample round Through depths of ether; coasts unnumber'd worlds Os more than solar glory; doubles wide. Heaven's mighty cape; and then revisits earth, From the long travel of a thousand years. —Young.
