There Is a whole lot. of theory of Professor Christie, of Purdue, that the stay on the farm movement is just as important as the back to the farm movement. It may be even more so, for the fellow who stays there will know how to work the job It may be somewhat cold to fish, but one enterprising man showed that he got results this morning when lie exhibited a tine string of channel ceft fish. He caught seven last night and more this morning, in the hole in the stone quarry at the river bridge. The y were fine large specimens.

Spring is here and the first band of gypsies of the season struck the city this afternoon. They invaded the business district, the female soothsayers promenading from one store to another urging that they be nor mitted to tell fortunes. Five wagon loads of the denizens of the Orient were in the crowd, but were not i ermitted to remain in the city for anv length of time. —Kendallville Sun. A great wave of religious conviction seems to be sweeping over the country now, while our neighbors abroad are engaged in the strenuous pastime of attempting to kill one another. Not only in large cities pre prominent evangelists meeting with splendid response to the gospel invitation. but in smaller communities less noted ministers are turning hundreds toward the way of salvation.

Remember it's that great big winter fly that starts all the trouble, Swat her now. One swat now counts for mere than a whole day’s swatting in July. Watch for the big spring flies and never permit one to buzz around in your room without going for her with a swatter. Flies don’t fly very far. So if everybody in town d ?s his best to make his premises unsafe fcr flies, we’ll have fewer flies in the town. Become a fly fighter. At last it seems as if Bob Jones Jias found a city which is more wick d than Hartford City was supposed to be.

Bob Jones is said to have declared that since arriving in Cr-.w fordsville he had found out that there are several “blind tigers” which r.rc being operated under the control • i the city officials and at another time, the evangelist is reported to have sc id that the chief of police owns one of those places. o — DISCUSS SINKING OF SHIP.

The Division Prospects. The moving of the Clover Leaf division from Delphos to this city is by no means a new story. About twice a year this prospect lias come up. always with a bright outloc ■. lor sue cess but something lias happened to prevent the accomplishment oi this desiije. Some years ago it will be remembered we voted a sum of $39,0' and the changb seemed assured, at the last moment something hap ) cncd cn Wall street or some where else and the deal fell through. This time, however, we confidently believt there will be no fall-down. The mat ter will be decided in the fedora court at Toledo a week from Saturday and if the change is authorized there will be semething doing about here for the next few months. In fact the ■>! ficials of the read feel so confident mt tii'4 c hange v. m ■ mad nat t' y have already spent considerable in the preparation of plans and have had a crew of men here several tir. s I past month. . Will Ask Concessions. Just what the comftpny expects from this city is not known, but the petition sets cut the fact that they are ?x---pecting something and this will nr dcubt come up soon. Th? people of Decatur should do their part • her asked to do so, and they w’j 1 . The moving of the division here would mean a great deal to Decatur and coming just at this time would make the year a splendid one. Details will b announced soon, no doubt. The m ,v---ing of the shops here would mean th-, building of several miles of track, round house, repair shops, coali.i ’ docks and general offices. DEATH AT GENEVA. Geneva, Ind., Mar. 23—J. H.
