I TO MAKE MATCH BOX. . Decatur Woman Got Small Slab of Wrecked Car at Preble. ' There are hobbies and hobbles among collectors. Some collect pictures, some pitchers, some carry away the paper napkins from the Ice ■ cream social, some take the silver spoons at state dinners, and some one thing and some another. Some even run to grewsome things, such ■as pieces of ropes which lynched a negro, or other criminals. At the Preble wreck Sunday, there were some who carried away splinters or slabs of the wrecked cars. One DeI catur lady who had a slender slab of I the polished veneer from a car, took it home with her to make a match I box, which she will keep as a memento of the only serious wreck the county has ever had.
