Notice is hereby officially given to he newly elected democratic county ntral committee that you meet at uc court house, in the city of Decatur. Indiana, at 10 o'clock a. m., on Friday, December 26, tor the purpose or reorganizing and for the purpose of selecting delegates .» he district convention, under orders from the state committee. -It is Important that all members be present. J. W. BOSS£!, 289t9 Chairman. Reginald Sullivan has withdrawn from the race for district attorney, and thia leaves the field practically to Frank Dailey of Bluffton. He is the right man for the place, we believe, and he will serve witli credit to him seif, his party, his state and his nation. His Decatur friends are proud ot him and glory in his success. The mild weather is all right forj the poor man and for about everyone else, except the merchant, whose stock of winter wearing apparel is net moving in such manner as brings joy to the storekeeper. At that you don’t j need to think that the winter is over. There is about four months of very uncertain weather coming and you will* doubtless need an overcoat. Adams county democrats shouli take a large delegation to the district meeting at Muncie on the 29th. it will be a love feast and an enthusiastic meeting. Join the crowd and that day aud assist, in re-electing W. A. Kunkle. He has made good and x will take good care of the old Eighth for the next two years. Decatur business men should not feel too sanguine concerning the Clover Leaf division. Willshire has an organization and we are informed that they are up on their toes, ready and willing to do anything they can to land the shops. It would mean mucn for that town and they will go the limit. If Decatur wants this division; aud it would mean a substantial lx>osi I

I for this city, we will have to get busy! : and meet the requirements. Don't lose this opportunity. If you drive your automobile during. January it will be well to remember J that you must have a license. If you are not going to use your car until later, it is not necessary to send in your application until you get ready to use the car and you thus save the pro rata part of the fee. Other Cities Talking Shop (’ONTTNUED FROM PAGE ONE) i the road the population of the city would be increased to quite a degree while the merchants of that city would meet with an increased trade and quite a large sum of money would be spent in the city each month by the railroad people. The business men of Decatur are anxious to have the shops located there and are doing all in their power to encourage the officers of the com pany to make that city a terminal. "At the request of a large numbs; of business men of Decatur, a numbeof the road officials from this city, in eluding Superintendent C. L. Hinkle District Freight Agent E. M. Davis General Passenger Agent M. Mcl’her son and Chief Engineer Ramsey let yesterday morning for Decatur for rconference with a committee of twen ty-five prominent business men and * number of prominent citizens of thm place. "Should the change in the location of the terminal be made the work o building the new terminal will in volve an expenditure of approximate 1> 1175,000. "The officials who left yesterda: for Decatur, made the trip in the pri vate car of Superintendent C. L Hinkle. “At the present time the distanct between the terminals are not evenl; divided and this not only causes ar unhandy condition in the matter o handling, trains but has always pro : duced » contention among trainmen at to the number of miles they must travel in making their runs. By equal izing the distance between the divis ions all the objections! features now confronting the officials will be eltm mated. "At Ute present time the Clove Leaf owns and operates over 447 mile tracks with the terminals the to' lowing distances apart: Toledo to De pirns, 74 miles; Delphos to Frankfort ’ 133 miles; Frankfort to Charlestor 112 miles; Charleston to St. Louis, 12 miles. Should the terminal ot the fits' division be located at Decatur, the distance between Toledo and the firs' terminal would be 10S miles, while I the distance between this city and; Decatur is 99 miles.” p SCALES FOR SALE. 1 have tor sale one Augldile scale • will weigh up to 30 tbs.
