Entered at the postoffice In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. \ traveling man told us today that in all his travels over the middle west, he has found no city, big or little that ir us lively and prosperous as Decatur. Have you noticed that things are moving along here and that the people are more than ordinarily happy? Mayor Thompson of Chicago assumed office at eight oclock last nig.it, the occasion being marked by a big tehbration termed “Prosperity day."

Tlie city of Elkhart voted wet yesterday by about one hundred majority after a hot campaign and now Goshen and Attica are to decide the question. Vidng iho argument that they must follow Elkhart to protect business interests, the wets in those two cities are putting up a fight with renewed vigor. While these local lights seem rather exciting they are tame compared to the one now in progress in the state of Kentucky, the home of the ' distillery, old Bourbon and the colon ’
