Petitions are being circulated asking President Taft to resign as the nominee of his party, it being suggested that Roosevelt will then retire also, and a third man be selected. Was ever anything so silly heard of? The republican convention has been held, the platform adopted pnd Mr. Taft named as the candidate. He cannot withdraw and the party leaders are but admitting defeat that will be the complete death of the g. o. p The scheme to get Taft off the track has been started, it is said, by a number of republican congressmen and senators who fear defeat and hope thus to save themselves. The people will think more of them if they go out and fight on their own merits and their own records. MOVING PICTURE CARNIVAL At Bosse Opera House, Commencing Wednesday, July 10th.

Miss Allison, who is naturally talented as a vocalist, and who has had the talent developed with the best and finest training, completing a course at National Park Seminary, Washington, D. C., and fitting herself as a sacred solo singer, is certainly deserving of the many words of praise which she received from the large and cultured audience which heard her solo last Sunday. Her rich and full notes, under perfect control, filled with exquisite sweetness one of the largest and wealthiest churches in the large city, and was received with the utmost pleasure by the large assembly present. Her many Decatur friends are pleased to hear of the dedication of her talent to the sacred solo work, and predict for her a most successful career.
