If Mr. Fall is not guilty as the court has held a lot of people owe him an apology for all the ugly insinuations m ule a year ago. Wo certainly do white wash ’em in this country. The Roosevelt brothers, Teddy and Kermit, arc off for India and the I’amiio mountains, in search of the ovis poli, a nearly extinct variety of long horned sheep. It should be a delightful jaunt if nothing else. President Coolidge has rented White Court at Swampscott, Mass., and the government’s business so far as the executive is concerned, will be operated from that delightful spot on the stern and rockbound coast, during the summer mouths. We need a spring rain and need it badly, according to the farmers who say the clover and the wheat are suffering, but at this time of the year it will be most unusually if we don’t get plenty of showers during the next mouth or so. The Decatur Industrial Association i,s to meet next Monday' BigM a! which time various committees are to report and there should be an effort to arouse more interest in the community. We can do a lot of things if we set our minds and hearts Io it. It’s simply a case of whether we want to or not. A Louisville brakeman named Holloway, arrested for bootlegging testified that he consumed forty to fifty bottles of home brew each day And the jury disagreed. They could have conscientiously sent him up for ninety days for being "hoggish" i: nothing else and probably the diet would have been good for his health. "Babe" Ruth, idol of the baseball fans of America, collapsed in the railroad station at Ashville, N. (’.. yesterday and is reported to be in a serious condition as the result of the flu. Millions of enthusiasts are hop ing for his speedy recovery in time to knock the cover off and break his home run record. Th"rr are just a few of our sub B<rlb‘-rs who failed to comply with our request to renew during the earn piign and we are hoping that these '.ill do so before the end of this mouth which is the "deadline." It may eem a small matter to you bul in the aggregate means much to us. Plea.,'’ take care of this this mouth and continue to read the news of your community during the year. Th" Hon. Albert .1.

The vote was the smalb est on record in many places. Evidently we have lost interest in elections and are content to just let-them ro as they will. In Chicago there was more or less forced interest because of the contest over the question of whether or not the city would buy the street car lines and they voted not to do so by a hundred thousand or so. President Coolidge is more than optimistic over the business outlook, according to his speech the other day before the National Convention of Cotten men. We hope he is right about it aud we are sure the Cotton men hope so, for in few lines of bus incss have they been harder hit dur ing tiio past year or two. We have heard so much of this "just around the corner” prosperity that we, will doubt it until it coiner.
