A little change in the weather, just enough to make you consider carefully and thoughtfully whether or not the bin is well filled. A little boosting on your part will help to form a combined desire for a park to take the place of the old and unsightly cemetery on Winchester street. You will be proud of it after it is accomplished and it will be within the next year if everybody says they want it. It is predicted by the greatest business men in America that the next six months will be the itiost prosperous ever known in this country. Already, according to financial reports, the conditions have assumed that place, with every shop and railroad running full time. It’s a mighty good time for Decatur to get busy and to land an industry or two that will put us on the map. Thursday is Riley Day and it should be observed in every school in Indiana. All over this nation due honor is to be paid to this greatest of all Hoosiers, who has brought joy and happiness to millions of children everywhere. He is one of the greatest Americans living today and it is right that we of Indiana who love him best of all, should tell him so. It is to be hoped that in every school room in this county, on that day, his life will be told about and his poems read to the children. Edward Lee McLain lives at Grainfield, Ohio, and he is one of those business men who realises that wealth was placed in his hands that he might thus be given the opportunity for doing the greater good for his fellowmen—and the confidence was not misplaced. He has built and equipped at a cost of $300,000 the most modern

school building for his home city that can be found In the state of Ohio. The new’ building was recently dedicated with due ceremony and Mr. McLain is today to the people of Highland county the greatest citizen living and it is right that they so consider him. For many years the republican leaders, orators and editors took special delight in impressing upon the voters the incapacity and lack of ability of democrats to administer and to attend to government business. The assertion was made so many times and with such earnestness that many unthinking people became impressed that there must be some distinction between the ability as men of those who called themselves democrats, and those who called themselves republicans. When applied to men individually it could be seen that democrats made successful farmers, successful lawyers, successful bankers, and gained distinction in other occupations, butan attempt was made to create the impression that democrats could not work for the public in offices with the same fidelity, loyalty and efficiency that they could work for individuals. The record that has been made during democratic ascendency in Indiana has disproved all assertions and charges against democratic incapacity and lack of financial ability. When assuming charge under Governor Marshall outstanding indebtedness to the amount of one million dollars stood against the credit of the state, and now under Governor Ralston for the first time since 1832 the state of Indiana is out of debt and is setting a good example to its citizens by doing business within its income on a cash basis. This is not an accident, but is following the purpose to practice economy and administer public affairs with the one thought of serving the people of the state. Facts are facts, and the demo- ♦ crats are glad to have the people know they have taken care of their responsibilities.—Sullivan Democrat. GUESSINGER FUNERAL.
