Conditions are such that in many cases the Clover Leaf is even refusing shipments of less than carloads. The freight business on the line is 1 radically being handled from the office of the superintendent of transportation at Frankfort, and before shipments are accepted by local agents they must first consult the Frankfort official. —Bluffton Banner. The case of the Pfau Manufacturing company against the Fort Wayne Engineering and Manufacturing company is being tried in the Adams circuit court at Decatur.

The Clover Leaf is one of the lines that is having the most trouble right now with the congestion of freight The trouble exists all along the line and the road is taking very little freight for the east. At this time the Clover Leaf has along its lines several hundred carloads billed for the Nickel Plate, east. This is being handled as rapidly as possible, but the relief is very slow. The same thing is true of its other connections. Hon. Janies J. Moran, ex-judge of the appellate court of Indiana who was defeated for re-election, has re turned to his home in Portland, where he will resume the practice of law. Judge Moran made a splendid record while on the appellate bench and it is to be regretted that he was not reelected. He was a candidate for the place when Judge Powers, of Angola, was nominated and when Judge Powers died, the Portland man was given the place.—Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette fc. — NEED A NEW SIGN? A dirty, dingy, unpainted store front and a worn-out, faded sign, is a mighty poor impression to give a stranger. First impressions are al ways the most lasting. Mr. Business Man, step out in the center of the street, just ignore the fact that you have the best paved and best lighted city of its size in Indiana —just gaze up and down—and you will realize that yet Decatur needs another improvement. Brush up your name; brush up your fame. There ar exceptions of course, hut hundreds of ‘signs have outlived their paintiest days of silent salesmanship. I am an expert on signs and illumination. As a workman I have a national reputation. 1 make and paint electric signs, gold and silver signs, banners, showcards and scenery. In fact, "I will sign anything.” J. E. CHURCH, The Sign Man.
