Up to date the time of adjournment has not been announced. The deal for a paid city Are department, new fire house for the auto equipment has been completed and, within a few weeks Decatur will have fire protection equal to that of any , city three times our size in the state. Keeping up to the times, did you say? t Well, we guess so. A citizen of Decatur, is is said, is • I trying to collect a dollar from the par-; ents of each of ten boys who plucked ; a few cherries from one of the trees on the property of the aforesaid citizen. Now, we dont, of course, approve of trespass or vandalism of any kind, but where breathes the man who in bls boyhood days, did not partake of I the Juicy fruit? It always tasted better, yoi remembers, thatt that from our own yard. We might add. tOo. that we don’t approve any methods i which tend toward a hold-up. The fall of the mercury, even but a few degrees, has been a relief, though it is still warm enough to keep one from needing a fur-lined over-coat. The suffering from the heat has never been equaled in this country, and at least one thousand deaths have been reported from over the nation. A peculiar thing is that the greatest number of fatalities are reported from Chicago the ‘Windy City,” right along the lake. Here's another strange thing. On Tuesday the thermometer registered 104 in Arkansas, the same in Cincinnati and but two degrees less at Toronto. Still we think that if we could go to Canada we would enjoy cool breezes and if we should have to go to Arkansas Just now we would simply die —and Decatur was from three to six degrees cooler than either place. Now figure out that dope. ilemorrs* Wont Aris P.iv
