FAIRS ATR ACT LOCAL PEOPLE Many Adams County People To Attend V an Wert And State Fairs A large number of Decatur and Adams county people arc planning to attend the annual Van Wert county fair, at Van Wert, Ohio, next. week.

TRIM TREES ON FOURTH STREET Property Owners Improve Looks Os Trees And Aid Street Lights Several property owners along Fourth street have started to trim heir trees, adding to the attractive ness of the trees and at the same ime making it possible for the rays >f light from the ornamental lights o brighten up the street The trees n front of the W. A. Kuebler home, northwest corner of Monroe and Fourth streets, and around the WornholT properties, southeast corner of Monroe and Fourth streets have 'men trimmed. The low branches md dead timbers have been removed and the trees look better,. in many places where the new irnamental lights have been install'd the branches of the trees hang so ow that they cover up the globes on he posts and prevent the lights rom lighting up the street. By trimning the trees a little the over hangrg branches can be removed and th, ights will give service. In some cities ornamental lights ir enot installed iftitil after the, pro-, ar. not installed until after the prorees, the city officials taking the »tand that it is useless to install street lights to light the sidewalk > f the branches of the trees prevent 'he light from breaking through. It has been suggested that property, owners along the streets where ornamental lights have' been installed employ several men who know how o trim trees and that all the trees along these streets be trimmed up a little. The ornamental lights are a great thing for the city. Not only local people, but visitors as well admire them They make the city look alive, up-to-snuff and awake and to H ! de the, lights behind the low branches of the trees is folly. —o Blacksmith Shops Are Growing Scarce Here Do you remember the days when Decatur had from six to ten horseshoeing shops ami the village blacksmith was one ot the busy business men in the old town? Decatur now’ has only two blacksmith shops and these places also do repair work for the au'vmobiiles, which have to a great extent taken the place of the horses. However, Adams county has more than 5,000 horses, while the number of automobiles in the county will be between 3,200 and 3,500 this year. | Another Chicago Mystery . Murder Is Solved Today Chicago.
