On that day it is the duty of every democrat in Adams county who did not register in May to do so. You want to have the same right of suffrage as your neighbor and now is the time to arrange it, Do it. _ The city council Tuesday evening ordered several old buildings that have become unsafe and unsightly to be removed, with the added warning that if this is not done by the owners, it will be done by the city at ' their expense. The city of Decatur ' is advancing, in fact they have moved along to that stage where it is necessary that these improvements be made, and no person should stand in the road of progress. It should not be necessary for the council to have to take such steps, but when they do, it should be done in such a manner that every one will known they mean business. The old buildings are of no use to any one and if they are a menace and an eye-sore, should be removed. Governor Marshall knows officially that he is the democratic nominee tor vice president. He accepted the honor in one of the ablest speeches of the year and the meeting was a very enthusiastic one. The accident, while mailing the pleasures of the day for many, did not dampen the ardor of the occasion Every speaker was enthusiastic and the assurance of victory wag apparent in each word spoken. It was a great day and every' citizen of Indiana should be proud of the fact that the men of Indiana are chosen to do things. Five times with- » ’ in the past third of a century has the vice presidential nominee been select- ' ed from the ranks of Indiana. It speaks well for a state to be thus honored. Governor Marshall will be elected and he will serve his nation well. 'WILL MOVE TO BLUFFTON. .1. D. Johnson, the well known paper hanger and painter of this city, has taken a position with the King Piano works of Bluffton and will move his family to that city to reside in the near future.
