Entered at the poet office at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. A little early for spring fever, but no wonder it has struck town, for tbs weather is equal to that of the month of May. Decatur is starting off the season with a move-ahead spirit that should develop into a steady and healthy growth, both as to population and business, before fall. It takes only a Utle pulling together to make the city what he have always claimed for i it, the best town on earth. _______. In today's issue our readers will find a complete list of the bills enacted into laws by the sixty-seventh general assembly which has just concluded its sixty-one days of work. In the j bunch will be found a number of excellent laws, some fair ones and a few, of course, objectionable to at least a part of the people. This is always the case and the truth is that this legislative record is superior to the records made by most assemblys. The acts will not be out before the ; middle or last of April.
