I ntered at th e postoffice In Decatur, InHana, as second class matter. Mayor J, W. Teeple authorizes us to announce that he will not be a canideate for re-election. He has considered the proposition but is a warm admirer of Mr. Christen and having had lour years' service with him, realizes his fitness for the place and is content. The dedication of the new monument will be one of the delightful days in the history of this county. The program committee is busy and will make every effort to secure the proper si»eakers for the occasion, and the dot ills wii! be announced within a few (days. Leslie Bush, a ninete.-n-year-oid boy. pitched the Athletics to an eight-to-two victory over he famous New York Giants yesterday, startling the; base ball world and proving the fact tnat a fellow don't have to be as old as Metliusalato do things in this age. He held his nerve and kept control all the time. As mayor of Decatur Charles N. Christen will demand that for every dollar of taxes collected and expended the city shall receive a dollar's worth ot public service.

A denial of this statement has been issued by the progressive leaders. T* declaration is made that they are out to stay and to tight to the bitter end. whatever that end may be.

heads resulted from the division of|| these one-time political brethren. As I matters stand, it looks as if the pre-1 gressives will never return to the T"publican party, which they have repudiated for its sins. And the question is, will what is left of the republican party eventually cast in their political fortunes with progressives Will either faction receive the other'', if so, which will have future control of the machinery and offices? Surely there are parlous days ahead. A CHICKEN FRY. The K. D. T. S. class o fthe Union Chapel U. B. church will conduct a chicken fry on the Bellview lawn on Tuesday evening, October 14, 1913.
