It's going to be bigger and better than advertised. Fred Nickel, a Dayton manufacturer facing bankruptcy, put on a blue mask and robbed a bank of 128,000. He I bought ho could get away with it but he didn't and was finally arrested and has confessed. He will not only lose his business but be lias lost bis standing in his community and will leave a poor legacy for bis family to live down What has become of Johnny Scopes, (lie fellow who started that fracas down at Dayton, Tennessee? Wt haven't beard whether he ever got another jor or not, paid the slo<t filed his appeal or expects to just loaf around as one of the sights for the "rubber neckers” who visit his town made famous by the baboon trial. A dozen building projects of oue kind and another are now on here and there is no dvubt about a sub stantial growth the next few months. That's splendid for it is the best and surest evidence that a town or city is going forward. At present there < are no empty bouses or business rooms and each day we have inquiriies for them. We are surq the population of Decatur can be increased a thousand or two during the next year if we will provide places for the people to live. ’ The Chautauqua is one of the favor ite forms of amusement in Aemrica . and without any competition as a I clean and wholesome entertaining and educational event for thousands of ' community . Through this means the : highest da ; lecturers, musicians and , readers are brought in and millions of Americans are Lima given oppor tunity to enjoy them.

Political headquarters are being opened in the larger cities and the organization is started. It's necessary in the big towns because those who did not vote at the primaries last spring, must register or they cannot vote in November, hi the smaller towns and ci lies this is not necessary, it seems and consequently much of the work is eliminated. Interest, it is not expected, will be evidenced lieforc October Ist. That will give five weeks for the campaigns, a sufficient length of time Io look ’em over and make up your mind: t'i esidept Coolidge is mad because the various departments in Washington are not in accord with his policy to cut every thing and then cut some more and declare he will weaken their forces to suohj&n extent that they canP'4 go forward The president will find much opposition to his plan when It begins to hurt and he will also find his standing with the officials greatly i diminished 'hfter he has been in of

It he doesn't he will be different than any other man who has served in his high office. The city tax rate of seventy three cents proposed this year as against an eighty three cent rate lats year is evidence of a careful administration of your city affairs. For a number of years the financial coudittion of Decatur lias been improving, the debt reduced and .improvements maintained. This is tapidly becoming a modern city with every convenience, a model municipal plant and the time Is coming when the city tax rate will be very reasonable. It has been done by careful management of those interested in the growth of the city and the hapinees of the citizens. The record Is a splendid one. General Andrews, newly appointed prohibition chief, who believes that by the use of enough armed force he can make this nation as dry as the Saliar i, has chosen September Ist as the day when he will begin his great effort. Even now it 4s expected he is quietly placing plain clothes men in and about the various cities, to gain information which will show just howhard the local police authorities are trying to enforce prohibition. If he has a large enough force of soldiers, all loyal to his cause, enough money to keep them equipped and interested, and is supported long enough, he will no doubt stop up many of the holes through which the stiply seems to have been leaking. It seems there arc too many pople who don't want the other fellow to have liquors but wish the law so arranged that they can have a liberal supply themselves. It will be interesting to note what will happen if their supplies are shut off and their friends sent to jail. o— .— OBITURARY William peel, the subject of Hr's sketch was born in Madison County, Ohio.
