Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail. District Chairman Beebe is to be a candidate for treasurer of Madison county and will not seek the chai"manship again. Mr. Dale Crittenbergef or Anderson is spoken of as district chairman, and with his years of training in political and newspaper life would make a splendid leader. State Chairman l.ee of the republican committee was in town a few min utes Thursday, but he neglected to inform us as to his particular reasons for being here. He is making the loop over Indiana and there are those who say that it is preliminary effort to be ! a*fn chosen state chairman. Next Monday is fire prevention day. and the governor of the state has pro claimed that every citizen of Indiana 1 i take systematic steps toward the pie- i volition of fire. His advice should be , followed, for it is backed by everyman of careful thought and the same action will be taken in seven states on the same day. Ladies of the Presbyterian church are showing the right spirit, by the decision that in preference to selling their lot on First street, just east of the church, they will retain it as a playground for the girls and boys, if we provide clean places for the young people, they will not be so anxious to seek rough spots. The plan should be enlarged to a general playground or rather several of them. It’s the Helen Gould idea and will work just as well in Decatur as it does in larger cities. DEATH OF MRS. FERRY. Word of the death of Mrs. J. L. Ferry, formerly of Preble, was received here by her many friends. Her cleath occurred Monday at the home of a daughter, at Batavia. N. Y., where she had been living for some time, since the death of her husband a short while ago. Cancerous affection caused her death. Mrs. Ferry also has a son of Dr. Perry, living at Akron, Indiana. The body will be taken to the former home at Laketon. where they lived after leaving Preble, and where the husband's body is interred. •

"If you wait long enough you’ll surely find out Whatever was meant you should know.” So down in the road the two doggies sat To wait—just these two in a row. \n automobile came dashing along. Running over poor dole's long tail. "I've found out all I wanted to know!” Said the curious dog, with a wail. —Pittsburg Press.
