By the way, have you commenced work on the yard? It’s time. The right spirit is abroad in Decator, and we have really awakened. Not a day passes but that something new is sprung that will add to the convenience of our people, their health, their benefit in some way. Some boys are stirred up that have not helped before and it looks good. Let 'er go. A progressive and live town is the kind to live in any way. A concrete bridge for East Monroe street, over the St. Mary’s river, is being agitated by a number of our citizens, and it is probable that such an will come within the next year or so. The idea is a bridge that will take away the element of danger that now exists when a heavy load is crossing the old plank bridge and the new one will add greatly to the appearance of that section of the - city.

Charmingly decorated with fernery and pots and vases of creamy sweet peas and carnations, artistically banked about the open stairway and arranged on tables and mantels, carrying out the senior class colors of green and cream, and with gay ribbon streamers in these same colors, the Van Camp home on First street was a lovely scene Thursday evening, the occasion of the class party given by Miss Edwina Van Camp, a member of the graduating class of the Decatur high school. A rare order of entertainment provided one of the best social evenings of the season. A very instructive and “wit-sharpening” con test was the formation of words from the phrase “Class of Eleven.” In three minutes Miss Clara Williams formed the greatest number of words for which she was awarded the prize, a bouquet of white carnations, tied with green ribbon, while to Ruth Gay went the consolation in the form of a tittle white sheet) tied with the class colors. A very original and highly entertaining Shakespearean contest was one in which conundrum-like phrases were to be answered with the names of Shakespeare’s plays Louis Adler answered all correctly and was given a handsome book as a prize, while Ruth Hammell consoled herself with the booby—a little doll, dressed in white and green. Other games, jollily informal, were played. Among the

most amusing of these was one In which sides were chosen by throwing up a picture, one side taking "face down," and the other "face up." The contest lay In vying to see which side could refrain from laughing in spite of the attempts of the other to make them do so. Music also contributed In a charming way to the pleasure, class songs and several Individual numbers making a very good impromptu program. Delicious refreshments were just ns pretty to look at with their dainty Colors of green and cream, as they were delicious to the taste, and Mrs. Van Camp was assisted in the serving by her granddaughter, Miss Dorothy Van Camp, her daughter. Miss Naomi Van Camp, and Miss Ruth Bowers.

CIRCUS IS OVER And Everybody Is Down to Business Same as Before Its Coming. Circus day has come and gone and Decatur, with her citizens Inis settled down once more to its regular routine of business, and one would hot imagine that a day of this kind had struck the town. Gollmar Brothers carry a good band of people with them, and is unlike most of the clrcuseb, which, as a rule, are accompanied by various crooks, who get In their work in every way imaginable. They drew a large crowd to the city, but not like one of the old stand-bys, whose names are famjllar to old and young alike. The afternoon perrormance was well at-] tended, but the heavy down-pour of rain, which let go towards evening, scared out many, and the evening crowd was not what it should have been. The performame was good and every part of it from start to finish was highly enjoyed at both entertainments. Many new features were among the list shown and taken altogether it was one of the best tented performances ever witnessed he-e. No arrests were made on the grounds and that portion of the police territory was free of law violations.
