Wright, first vice piesident of the company." •Mr. Wright then pressed the button and mid the blowing of the whistle, I the music of the band, the cheering j and singing and real dancing and ‘jumping of the enthused citizens, who felt like boys again, the great machinery was set tn motion that will be unceasing for days and come. Many visited the factory this afternoon until Its close at 5 o'clock. It will be reopened at 7 for the rest of the evening and everybody is cordially invited to come. The view tn the ( evening is said to be even prettier than during the day, x* it is brilliantly lighted. Newspaper Writer* Are Here. That we are on the map is signified by the fact that newspaper writers from all over the country have been here this week to take a look at the new factory, view the celebration, take photos and other da’a from which to advertise our fair i'ttle city. All are surprised, and it is needless to remark that Decatur will derive great benefit from this source. Among those who called at this office was Miss Eleanor A. Jones, editor of the American Sugar Industry, an admirable lady, whose story will be looked for with keen interest. Representatives of the Fort Wayne. Muncie. Indianapolis and Chicago papers are also In the city to take <are of the big week. j Jr I / TL I k n —— ELIAS M. WAGNER. I Ch'«f Agriculturist. Decatur Plant.
