STATE INSPECTOR HERE. Going Over Factories, Workshops. Public Buildings, Etc. Thomas 8. Williamson of Anderson, deputy state inspector of factories, work shops, laundries, mercantile establishments, printing offices, bakeries, hotels and public buildings, is in Decatur, paying his annual visit here in the interests of the state department of inspection, duties which require about three days’ work in this city. Mr. Williams reports that he finds the conditions of the buildings here, which come under his inspection, better than the average, but In cases where they are not quite up to the standard, suggestions for the required improvement are taken very willingly. IP TO DIRECTORS Two Propositions For Extending Interurban South Either to Geneva

OR TO PORTLAND Stockholders Leave Working Out of Plans in the Hands of Directors. V The meeting held by the ninety or more of the Fort Wayne t SprinitWeld railway company, at the assembly room in the interurban building Wednesday afternoon was an enthusiastic one, at which propositions for the extending of the road south were discussed. Two very good propositions for the building of the road south —one for the building to Geneva and the other to Portland, were found very satisfactory, and it it quite sure than one will be taken up as soon as possible. Just which one, however, was not decided upon and this was given over into the bands of the fifteen directors, who will hold a meeting about April Ist, and decide which can be best put through. After the decision, the work on the building of the line will begin at once. About forty-five of the Ohio stockholders were in attendance. These were brought over in a special interurban car sent from here to St. Mary’s Ohio, the day before, the Ohio stockholders returning home at 7 o’clock Wednesday evening over the Clover Leaf. o—i RHODE ISLAND RED EGGS — For setting, See Mrs. J.F.Snow N. 2nd.St FOR SALE—One dozen hens; also Indian Runner duck eggs.—Mrs. Oliver Walters, Decatur, R.
