Just now as we glanced up from our old typewriter, we noticed a boy chasing pist the window, barefooted anil smiling iu the joy of satisfaction that he is the first ‘ kid" an Decatur to assume that once fashionable attire for red blooded boys. The primary elections will lie held iso weeks from next Tuesday. In most cities over the state the campaign is on now- in earnest. The factj tbit those who do not vote at the primary must register to ttualify for the fall election will make the vote larger here than ordinary it is expected. Impressive services will lie conducted in every chHrch in the city and county tomorrow. Its the day of rest generally accepted in this country and your presence there will not otilv aid the pastor hut will help because of jour influence. At least the question of eternity is of sufficient importance to deserve some thought and attention on your part, isn't it? llow much is for you to «ay. Tomorrow pi Sunday. Put your money in the bank, don't be careless about your business, help the officers prevent hold-ups and robberies, report suspicious looking characters and carry insurance to i cover possible losses. Thais about all the advice we have beard on the subject, following three hold-ups here w ithin ten days. And that s about all that can be given. Special poll o protection and special efforts to protect property and citizens are being quietly made. You can help by being watchful. Kerry body wc have talked to about it, is happy over the prospects for a ; big. old fashioned, better than ever, county fair and we predict Mr. Will-J iarasoa will have no difficulty in sccuring the assistance and the entire co-opemtlou of every business man and farmer. He will announce all the plans in a short time and work of preparing for the week of September 13th will start, it takes time and a lot of work to put on a fair and the new manager Kas had sufficient experience to know tint hotter than wc do. »■" We hope every possible effort is i «biue to, stop the hold-up program which eccras just bow to be directed towards this city. Officers should be ' more vigil cot lhau ever. It is itu i possible however to have a policeman at every borne and in every store, .up cO-opcration of the citizens is the best tiling to do. Don't keep a tot of money on hand, nse precaution mid help break up the system tlicao fellows arc using. We know that thiS is being done by a number of people and it is quite 1 possible that one of these gangs v ill • be surprised when they tackle the wrong job.
