He has slmly declared he will permit Mr. Taft to try again in 1912. Teddy is regular. The county commencement will be held Saturday, and one hundred and thirty-eight boys and girls will receive diplomas, proving that they have completed the eighth grade w’ork and are now eligible to high school. The event 1 is an important one and this fact, with the splendid program arranged, should not be overlooked by the people of this community. The schools of Deca- 1 tur and Adams county are unexcelled in any state in the union. A meeting of the council and the citizen's committee will be held tonight at which time it is expected the finishing touches will be put on the fire department movement. It was I hoped to close the matter on Tuesday J evening but Mayor Teeple desired a day or so in which to go over the con-1 tract. While it is well to be conservative and careful, this matter should not longer be delayed. Cut the weeds, clean up, do it today. The health officer has given no-, tice and you should have enough pride, enough interest in the welfare of the community, to do it without being forced at the point of a law suit to do so. There are several places in the city, and some of them right I down town, which need attention bad-' ly, the weeds are a nuisance, the filth must be cleared away. We have called attention to this several times, and it’s up to you now to do it, or have it done at an additional cost. g——F—————■ I it i ! I WOULDN’T your wardrobe be vastly improved by the addition of a smart suit of fancy or plain blue serge? • WOULDN’T you be pleased to secure such a suit at a; very small outlay? WE have just such a suit at j just the price you want to pay and we are waiting the opportunity to show you and convince you. stirs 510.00 to 522.50 THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY LEADING Clothiers & Furnishers

To one who has been long in city pent, 'Tls very sweet to look Into the fair And open face of Heaven —to breathe a prayer Full in the smile of the blue firmament. Who is more happy, when with heart’s content, Fatigued he sinks into some pleasant lair Os wavy grass and reads a debonair And gentle tale of love and langulshment Returning home at evening, with an ear Catching the notes Os Philomel—an eye Watching tht smiling cloudlet's bright career.
