Several Decatur boys wished to secure a birds-eye view of the city and Friday climbed to the top of the 180foot stack at the beet sugar facory, and then cast their eyes broadcast over the country.

John Egas, interpreter and general assistant at the sugar company’s office, brought into this office this morning samples of sugar beets taken from Ross Harding’s farm in Union township, which show that beet raising in this locality will "be a wonderful success.

OWING to the uncertainty of getting coal when the large dealers begin putting in their supply by lake shipment as they require a certain number of cars each day to keep their loading machinery running, therefore I have ordered for May, and June shipment a large supply of all kinds including ANTHRACITE, and know it will save you money to buy your winters supply as early in June as possible. By doing you are sure of a better and cleaner coal than to wait until mines are crowded. Early Rose, Early Ohio, and Strawberry seed potatoes ;$1.60 per bushel while they i last. ii j E. L.
