When they came here the merchants made an agreement for the payment of rent for a certain length of time. There was the usual amount of complaining, but how many times over and over have they paid back that small amount of money into the hands of Decatur families and stores? i Now they propose to erect a permanent home, a model factory, in which the girls who earn a livelihood, will he happied and healthier, and can do their duties with greater ease. The pay roll of this company is a snug one. and the money they pay comes from distant cities and is ' distributed among our merchants. Certainly here is one investment which has borne fruit. We congratu- j late the Waring company on their, success and the city on having in their midst such an institution. We are glad they are going to stay indefinitely as the investment at this time would indicate. We believe that more such concerns as this one, in other lines, could be secured, making it better for every one who calls Decatur home. GOOD LECTURE AT MONROE.
