If you will think it over, you will agree that he Is the proper man for the place, the one man who knows tin financial conditions of the city from A to Z, and who is capable ot so managing affairs that our present got d credit will he continued. Wha a curiosity a tariff is any-1 Low 1 They are asserting that the re- j ductiona in the tariff under the Un-j derwood hill will not make a particle of difference in the cost of articles, and that neither the dealer j nor the consumer will profit by It or, through It. If that be true what was j the use of all the fighting and fussing" , A thing that amounts to nothing is j certainly not worth flghing about. Hi t wait! It may not work that way. —Oouinbia City Post. Nor is true friendship critical. People, however fond of each other they may ne, are commonly aware’ <>■ each other's faults, bu* to be a genuine friend is to excuse and forget blemishes; it is to be loyal and tolerant; above all. it is to take the friend Cor what he is, asking no more. One's friends represent many things to him; they appeal to diffeient sides of this nature and he would be foolish, indeed, and lie proving his own narrowness to try to reduce them to a common standard. One of the chief joys of life, in fact. Is the variety that friendship may offer. Hut it must come as it will, free as the winds that blow, not be sought for to be at its best.--Indianapolis Star. The democratic nominees ior the council are good citizens, thoroughly reliable and competent. They will serve yon well and they deserve the places they seek. There can be no teaaon for opposing them niter than partisan, and arguments that they should not be elected because they aie democratic nominees should not and will not go very far with the voters oi Decatur. We read in the Democrat that "It" Is very proud of the municipal plant of this city. Sure! That is one of the enterprises started long ago by one of those wicked republican administrations the Democrat so fluently refers to.—The Herald. You're standing on your (oot.

that had to be raised in tuxes. That republican council only contracted for it. They didn't pay the bill and that's why this tax j m persist in advertis ing as the highest in the state, lias been admittedly more than the average person would like for it to he. But, thank the Lord, the bill has been paid and it ought to be possible for most any one to figure a lower tax rate during the next four years. IN MEMORIAM Olive Rebekah Lodge, No. SO. 1). of r.„ Decatur, Tnd., Sept. 15, 19V1. We. tiie committee appointed to draft resolutions of respect to our departed sister, Mary Klzey, whose denth occurred Saturday, September 1.1, would submit the following: Whereas, It has pleased God in his all-wise mysterious Providence to call from us to his realm above the spirit of our sister, and while we how in humble submission to the divine will, it is but fitting that we bear testimony to her good qualities and express in ills manner our deep sorrow, and while we mourn her untimely dej mlse our heartfelt sympathy goes out I to her sorrow-stricken son and daugh- ! ters. for to them it is an imparable i loss. May they be sustained by Him who' Tempers the wind to the shorn 1 lamb" to whose Infinite memory in | their their bereavement, we tenderly j commend them. Resolved, That we extend to her son and daughters our heartfelt sym--1 pathy In this their time of sorrow and | commend them to the infinite love and j mercy of God. Resolved. That our charter he drilled in mourning for thirty days and these resolutions be spread on the minutes of the lodge and a copy of the same he sent to the family of the ; deceased sister and also to be published in our city papers. .1 ESSIE EL WINNERS.
