Fleming will soon move to New York City, where he will take over the management of a thirty-threo million dollar portion of the holdings of the late J. P. Morgan. It is something to have been selected as a successor to the world's greatest financier and it is probable that the future will disclose that the constituents of Senator Fleming have not realized the great ability of the man who has represented them in the state senate for a number of years. His success in business has been as wonderful as that of any man in Indiana and he will enter his new work with the good wishes of hundreds who have realized that he is a man wo can do things, bi gthings and do them well. Decatur will have a new high school building in 1915. While two years may seem a good while to wait "for this Improvement, it is the very best that can be done under all the circumstances. In this day and age it costs money to erect a building such as needed here at this time, the estimated cost being about fifty thousand dollars. To raise the money it is necessary that the board provide for some ’ actual cash and they will do so by a tax levy this year and next, which will give them a total of 120,000. They can then issue bonds for the remainder and the load will then be an easy one to carry. In the meantime they will decide as to the location and other details and when the time comes, the work will go forward speedily. FEUD CAUSES SHOOTING.
