"The frost is on the pumpkin, and the fodder’s in the shock." The first real tall weather seems to be at hand, warning us of approaching winter and reminding us that “the good old sum-' mer time” is fading rapidly. Letters from many of the Indianapolis ' boosters” have been received, thanking Decatur tor the interest shown, for the reception given them and the favors. They all have a good impression of our fair little city, and they all speak well of us. Clean up your yard. Don’t let the winter set in with the back alleys full of filth. It’s unhealthy and unsightly and common decency should make us , want to keep up appearances. _ Don’t • wait on the general cleaning up day this tall. Do it now and have the job out of the way. Why not have a corn show this fall? Never in the history of Adams county has there been a better grade of this most important crop and the display would be wonderful. Aside from the interest that would be aroused and the knowledge gleaned it would be of advantage to the corn raisers to find out the specie which gave the best results. Four applications for houses were made at this office today, but we of course, had no place to send them. If the town would grow we must begin to think of taking care of the people who want to move here. Neat little cottages, with modern improvements, could be rented easily and it ought to be an alluring investment for our people with money. Italy and Turkey are in real war. The first ship was sunk yesterday, Italy being victorious. For a few weeks, at least, blood will run in the foreign lands, and there is a probability that other nations may be mixed into scrimmage before the roses bloom again, although just at present France and Germany seem to be looking toward peace. The Italy-Turkey war came on quickly and as to the merit thereof it is hard to judge. The reputation of Turkey has long been oditis. but it is doubtful if even this gives Italy the right to step in and take possession of her property. It looks as though the World’s Peace Commission has a job on hands.
