THE INTERURBAN While we are talking of making Decatur a better business town, there is one thing that should certainly be considered, and we know of no time at which It could better be done than right now. We refer to the interurban. It still connects Fort Wayne & Decatur, much to the detriment of the latter, in a business way. The Fort Wayne & Springfield Traction line was put in operation between these two cities several years ago. The men who built it promised that it should be pushed southward as soon as possible. Each year they have tried to do so, but the men behind it have put all their money into the proposition and have been unable to finance it, that the line could be built south. Each season sends many people from here north to do their trading and brings but a small proportion i j/r /i i il l I Y 3 / ' <7W- 1 /' V I f I y MkRuS. suralkCa. —’ , WE sell clothing on a basis of good value and perfect satisfaction.

into Decatur to off set that which goes away. Talk about your factories and your other trade producing plans, but there is not nor never has been such a proposition, one of so great importance to the busineffi men and the citizens of Decatur in general as this building of the Interurban line south. It should be done and done this year, and some plan should be devised by which the company could be aided or induced to make an extraordinary effort to at least extend the line to Geneva this year. Think of the men that would be employed, think of the trade that would come in, think of what we are losing now and which can only be off-set by the bringing of trade here. It looks like a simple proposition, that all will agree on —the road should be extended —the question of how, is one that should be considered, earnestly and carefully. It’s the biggest proposition Decatur ever handled. It stares us in the face. Let s solve it some way or other. We are not aware of the exact conditions of the company, nor do we know their plans fully, but we do know that the road has not been built, and that the people of Decatur should see that it is. We believe also that the officials of the company would be glad to listen to suggestions from any person. Get busy, you hard-headed fellows. Think. Act. The goods towns in Indiana and everywhere else are the towns which have interurbans running through them and not from them. RESOLUTIONS On the Death of Mrs. Sadie Meyers— Adopted by Camp No. 5234. Neighbor Meyers was a member of Decatur Camp No. 5234, Royal Neighbors of America. She was a good, faithful member, always pleasant and cheerful. She always had a good word for every one she chanced to meet. The camp is sadly bereaved of one so good; therefor, be it Resolved, That the Royal Neighbors of Decatur emulate her life; be it further Resolved, That the charter be draped in mourning for thirty days. Furthermore, That these resolutions be spread on record, and a copy be sent to the family and to each of the papers of the city. MARY E. WEAVER. LULU SWERENGER. MRS. J. CHRISTEN. MRS. W H.
