SMITH 4 COMPANY. Those who depend upon public eat- 1 mg establishments certainly apprecl- 1 ate the services of a good restaurant, ' , and a successful lunch room is a (Credit to any city. Such an institu tion is that of Smith A Co, located on South Second street. This restaurant and lunch room ts an old stand with a record of twenty-1 1 | five years behind it. the present firm,l' composed of Messrs. William R. and ' |F. P.

They 1 maintain both counters and tables for 1 the accommodation of their patrons. 1 Their counter trade in pies and bread ' [is large, and they bake these commodities for their own use instead ot feeding their patrons inferior b: kery products.

and both of whom are highly respected here. Mr. Gass has been a realdent of the city for the past fortyfive years. MURRAY HOTEL. If you want to know a good hotel in any town in which you are not acquainted, follow the man with the grip—he knows, lie's very likely one of the “hoys on the road,” and even* though he may not have "made” that ( town before, you can just bet he knows where he's headed for. And what is true of other towns is true of Decatur. Many of the traveling men who make this city hike for the Murray hotel as soon as they leave the cars, knowing full well that at this established hotel they will be properly catered to in every respect. D. Murray is proprietor of the Murray, which has been established fourteen years. He operates his house on the popular American plan, rates $2.00 and $2.40 per day. He owns the three-story brick he occupies and has sixty guest rooms, with and without bath, for the accommodation of his patrons. Every room in th* Murray has steam heat, electric light and ca,l bells and there are sample rooms for [ ' commercial men. The office, writing room and dining room are on the firs! floor. This is Decatur's leading and best hotel, a modern and up-to-date institution, located in the heart of the city, oppoaile the court house. CHAS. F. STEELE 4 CO. Chas. F. Steele & Co. bear the rep \ utation of being among the most effi-1 I cient harness makers In Indiana, and [their place at North Second street is a. model of what a modern harness 1 establishment ought to be. They deal in hand-made harness, buggies, carriages, robes, whips and blankets and do a large and steadily growing busi- . nesg. Mr. Steelo organized this business ten years ago. the other members of the firm, Earl Nldlinger rad Otto N'llius. having joined him las> spring, March 10, IMS. All three are experta in their line, besides being gentlemen of courtesy and likeable <iuallities. They are very popular in locaft circles aru with the farmers for miles I around. They are nil practical ban ‘ ncsß makers. Business houses like thia are a credit to our city and contribute I much to Its prestige and general welfare. Therefore they are deserving of the retpect of all who know them. WINNbS SHOE STORE. A ploMer concern ia the \Vlnnea[ shoe store, which is located at the corner of Second and Monroe streets | : nd conducted by Mias Annie Winnes. '< nc of our city's moat successful bus- ! iness women. It wus founded by Henry Wfnnes In is«d and conducted by him until his -dentil in 189'-'. wben his widow and' 'daughter fork over the business. They I have made a great success of it and arc 111* rally patronised by many of [Deodar's moat particular shoe buy ■ era. At thia store are to be found some . us the beat lines of shoes In the market, the store l» lng agent for "At : nold” and “8els” shoes for men and ■ "Selby," "Armstrong." "Hherwood" and "H. C.

STAR GROCERY. Mr. W. J. Johns, proprietor of the; Star grocery, is well and favorably p known to everybody in thin vicinity, 1 be being horn and raised in this city,,; honco requires no Introduction on our' part. Ho occupies the neatly arranged' Ftoreroom nt the comer of Monroe 1 , and Third streets, where he has only!; been since the first of this year, this i being his t;rst venture In businesH. He carries a complete line of staple ; ami fancy groceries, rrutts and vege- i tables, confectionery, cigars, etc, Everything handled by Mr. Johns Is first, class and he always endeavors to give satisfaction to customers and to quote the lowest prices possible. , His patronage ia not only local, but is drawn from all the adjoining towns surrounding Decatur. Mr. Johns j has quite a natural talent for his! chosen business and is a very good; judge of values nnd qualities and is; recognized as a close and shrewd buyer. He is one of Decatur's prominent business men and a most courteous gentleman to meet, in a business >r social way. SCHUMACHER’S ART STUDIO. The true artist in photography If indeed few and far between. What [ a difference to you when your friend remarks, “That's a good photograph of you," or “I don't like that at all." If the latter exclamation, you are all awry about the matter, wish you hadn't hail the thing done at all, want' your money back —yet the only con-1 solation you can obtain Is to promise:; yourself it won't happen again. But! there is only one way to make abso- [ lue certain of this—go to a studio ; with a reputation; for instance, that of Schumacher’s Art Studio at IM South Second street, over Callow .< Rice's drug store. By the way, have you noticed the display case of this up-to-date studio' of late? It's worth looking at, for there you will see, from time to time,': familiar faces of the best-known pern [. pie in and about Decatur—people who ; know from experience the difference,, between good and "bad” photography.!’

Mr. M. N. Schumacher is the enterpilslng proprietor of the studio. MRS. U. DEININGER. One of the largest and moat popu-' lar places in the city devoted to the wants of th® ladles is the millinery store conducted by Mrs. Ulrich DeinInger on North Second street, which; la a distinguished resort for the la-; diea who are looking out for novelties In the line of headgear-and whatj lady is not?

DECATUR STEAM LAUNDRY. It almost pains one to think of the poor service people used to get from the old-fashioned hand laundries and we believe every one agrees that the steam laundry Is one of the most [useful of modern institutions. The Decatur Steam Laundry, Kern A- Kern, proprietors, Is an efficien public service institution that was*etablisbed here In February, 191.1, and which has made good in every sens*’ of the word since that time. It occupies a new two-story cement block building that was erected only last year and which is equipped with all up-to-date and modern machinery and appliances. Right, to ten hands are employed and agencies are scattered throughout the city. This laundry does fine work and one need not fear to entrust the most I delicate fabrics to its care. F.v.-ty-thing is washed thoroughly and neatly ironed, ready to wear. Rough dry ' work is done at five cents per pound, jWe doubt if a more efficient laundry of the size is to be found anywher* in the state of Indiana. This modern laundry does the best of work, and there is surely no need of people sending their work out of the city—if you believe In ''boosting" and building up your city. "Patroni.y ! Home Industry.” WILLIAMS 4 SONS. An old stand in energetic new bands is the grocery establishment at 'the time-honored location of Everett, 1 Hite & Co. on Routh Second street. 1 The old firm was succeeded in August of this year by Williams & Sons, the present proprietors. it is the [ first venture of this firm In business I and they certainly are making a grand success.

Mr. Fike, who does general blacksmithing and la a practical horsei sheer, has been established here in - business for the past year and onei half, although he has worked at the ; trade for the past fifteen years, and ! may be found on North Second street, where he does a magnificent job of ■ horseshoeing, whenever an animal is i'taken to him to be made all right and i; ship-shape for slippery streets and all • other conditions which call for new I shoes artistically placed. i He is certain to please the moat I exacting In th** matter of shoeing, and •inot only does the work carefully nnd • well an far as present work and or- > dlnary conditions are concerned, but will take a horse which ban been shod I badly, with th* result that lameness or interfering or any other trouble, , |f prevalent, can be relieved or cured I by the perfect method of shoeing pracI .lived by Mr. Fike. • | He makes a specialty of caring for •'the feet of many first-class animals of the city, and many a horse which t is far from being first class ran be brought to that condition by having his feet cared for hers, » ■ ■ ( i[ This Issue of Th* Democrat la representative of the varied Interests of 1; Decatur.
