Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. In his own beautiful language. Governor Marshall lias proclaimed the fact that May 30th has been set aside by law and custum and consecrated as Memorial day. He says truly that the public cannot live in the past nor can it survive if it forgets it. He reminds us, tto that not often will this later age have chance to voice its gratitude to ears which can hear. It is the day of all in the year when we should be serious and reverent, and which should be truly observed in fitting manner. Let us obey the call. With three new factory buildings in Decatur, with the best outlook for fruit and crops the county has known in years, why look on the dark side of things? Really we can see no reason why the year should not be the best Decatur and Adams county has ever known. It will, too, if we boost. New factories, new business placets but add to the need and demand for a better fire equipment. Why, even Winchester and Columbia City have them. Some one should point the way, yea, even lead. Something like a car load of beer and whiskey was dumped into the river at Noblesville this week, and now the Indianapolis News suggests that the fish don't care what time they get home.

The spacious lawn of the Clark home was given over to the festivities and the fourteen little girls had a merry time playing games of all those kinds so dear to child life. Little chairs were placed about the lawn and the little girls finding places on these were served a delicious luncheon.

POLICE COURT NEWS. Two Suspicious Characters Given One Hour to Leave the City. About 2 o’clock two suspicious characters were picked up on the streets by Marshal Frank Peterson and Deputy Merica and were at once taken before Mayor Teeple, where they were tried and found guilty. They were given a certain length of time to get out of town and when released immediately left the city. At the mayor’s office one of the tramps endeavored to defend their actions but was unable to convince the mayor of their right to stay in the town. They were roughlooking speciments and are only a pair from a gang or a dozen or more who are camping on the outskirts of the city and property towners will do well to watch a little closer for a few days. If any more are caught in the city they will be arrested forthwith and if found guilty will probably be given from ten to thirty days on bread and water, in lieu of a workhouse sentence. MEET AT G.
