If you read what they said about Dan Vorhees when he was named you will understand that a large part of the ammunition now being used is for political purpose solely. Well, it won’t hurt you to dress up a little and remember that if you need a suit or coat or anything else, you can buy it from Decatur merchants at the right price and be guaranteed satisfaction. Read the merchants’ advertisements in the Daily Democrat. They are the live ones. A centennial celebration and an old home week will cost a little something, it is true, but it will all come back and any way we owe this community a good live celebration, a week of entertainment and pleasure with which can be combined many ideas of education and advantage. The public meeting and the of an active organization ought to be taken care of at once. The entire county ought to join in this event and it will be the biggest week ever given in this section if they do. Remember that the newspaper editor whom you are cussing is probably the fellow who will have to write your obituary. “Also remember,” says Herbert Cavaness, “ that when he writes your obituary out of the goodness of his heart he will probably overlook the fact that you are a skunk and a deadbeat and a wife-beater, and out of sympathy for your family will put a halo on your head and picture you as twanging a golden harp* in the New Jerusalem. Then be chartiable, even if the editor is a reprobate and a gravedigging hyena.”—Ft. Scott News. The Daniel Erwin fine new residence on Mercer avenue has been completed and Mr. and Mrs. Erwin will move from their present location on First street. The creeks and rivers are being taxed to the limit just now to take care of the vast rainfall of the past few days and a serious flood is not an impossibility. In fact if the rains continue a few days longer it wiil be a serious certainty. While in this section we have never suffered largely from floods we realize that when the river is out of banks here our neighbors, H>rt Wayne, Peru, Logansport, Wabash and others, are having real troubles. Mrs. Levi Schaffer and daughter of Bobo were visitors in tiie city today..

Tire Indiana Historical Commission has formally endorsed the scenario submitted by the Selig Polyscope Co. for the centennial historical picture of Indiana. The work of making the picture is already under way. The production will require 7,000 feet of film, or seven reels. Two reels will be devoted to a prologue depicting the early history of the state. Five reels cover the centennial period from 1816 to the present. i Location men in the employ of the I Selig Polyscope Company are busy touring the state in search for ideal ■ "locations” for the staging of the film. : The “location’ experts have the task ■ of arranging 300 scenes covering a : period of 236 years. | The Selig Company is arranging to re-enact the scenes on the identical grounds where they occurred. The brittle of Tippecanoe,-for example, will ’ be staged at Battle Ground, in Tippe- ■ canoe County, and the landing of La- , Salle at the St. Joseph-Kankakee Por tage and his re-embarkation cn the > Kankakee will be staged near South - Bend. i The scenario for the production, written by Gillson Willetts of Chicago, provides that where original buildings r are not available, new ones are to be erected. The costuming of the proa ’ duction in itself will be an important j undertaking, as the wardrobe must 5 be to the last detail. The cast for the production, which . at times will number over 1,000 peri sons,-must visit all the various scenes, i. as the scenario necessitates the taki ing of pictures in the extreme northp em section and the extreme southern r part of the state. . ■ 1 ■" *-—* —D ’ LOST —Nose glasses between Gass & Mothers' store and greenhouse.

NEW CURING APPARATUS • - • Hoary Thomas has just completed a ' new tobacco curing apparatus and has ',-taded it with two thousand pounds of cigar leaf tobacco to cure. The room is arranged to a'.low a steady temperature of one hundred and the tobacco, packed in hands, in specially constructed frames, cures i in a bulk that requires thirteen .veeks to complete.’*The system 18 somewhat complicated and requires ■ ' lose watching. Upon first* receiving i the easl* of tobacco it is dipped in ' clean water and then put on bulk. This 's tushed every ten days so that each ( 1 hand of tobacco is evenly cured. The rweat driwes off the ammonia and ether and leaves the tobacco mild and sweet. After the thirteen weeks cf > curing the tobacc* is again bulked to remain so until it is sent to the work rooms. A ton of tobacco is n<jw i i the process in the room at the White Stag Cigar Company, and to one who , never saw tobacco in the leaf ,the , sight is interesting. “Visittfrs are welcome,” said Mr. Thomas yester- , day. .
