Fred Feick, of Garrett, has with drawn tin* petition filed by his friends to enter him as a candidate for United States senator, leaving a clear field for the old Roman, Tom Tag gart.

p What lias become of the Ornament it al lighting project? Surely we urn uot going to Just let it die out again We have been busy with other affairs for a tew weeks and investiga y tion shows that the proposition is uot moving as il should and it won't unless the citizens show more Interest. It is rather surprising that a nums 0 ber of those who can best afford it. B refuse to sign the petitions. It would I) certainly help the looks of the town 5 if we could have several miles ot 1 ? these lights. — — Tiie Berne Witness argues that the i only persons hurt by the new tax law are a "few tax evaders.” If vi ry person who must pay more ( ■ axes and who will complain when tie does, is a "tax evader” they will total about ninety per cent of the en-' ire population of the state. Adams •ounty pays many thousand dollars more this year than last, loses the tutomobile tax and gets nothing in .•eturn. The Witness will find it ■ome job to popularize this rotten i aw. its only defense apparent up to! | late being that it was passed by a I epublican legislature. Had the dem ■ I icrats done it, they would be licked I or forty years to come and the rule 1 I night to work both ways. The dedication of the General Elec- 1 trie plant here is to be a great event. 1 Three thousand employes of the 1 t Fort Wayne plant will come here to ( assist in making it a success. A small admission fee will be charged, there will be concessions and stands and shows and every penny of profit ’ will go to the fund tor the employes of the Decatur plant. It's a great cause and should t>e liberally sup-' l, ported. Aside from having a good ime you will help out those who are't o work in this new big industry in 1 Decatur for from this money will be built the substantial fund, from' which is to be paid indemnities in', •ase of accident or sickness. Boost 1 or the dedication and help make it < i big success. < >— — t What's the matter with the people if Decatur? We have heard always hat you want and now’ viten we have the chance to land a . real one at a very small cost, you 1 tang hack and permit the other fel- / low to put up the money. Shame n you. If you are going to be a ( ■itizen of Decatur, you should be a ;ood one and if you are you certain- t :y .want to do your share. Several 1 ■hundred dollars is needed to secure 1 he ss.fK)o necessary to land the j oundry and any person who does not mt in their share will surely feel t ■heap when the report is published. 8 Talk is cheap but the fellow who puts ( ip his cash to boost a community, s after all the one who proves that [ le means what he says. Let's finish he job and do it quickly. I f DEMOCRAT WANT ADS PAY BIG! !

Mrs. Anne Davison. 2080 Myrtle street. Beach..
