The acts of 1929 recently published weighs three pounds and one ounce which is about three pounds more than needed to print all the legislation that was actually needed. ‘ Way Back When—Before 1890” is the title of a story that will interest every reader of the Daily Democrat. It will start soon and you will enjoy reading every chapter, of it. The next step of the committee on state highway sixteen will be an effort to get it on the program for paving next year. With the united support of those along this route, v e believe that,can be accomplished.

May every ambition be reached and all your dreams come true. The bandits, if they are wise, will put the Fountain Square Stale batik at Indianapolis on the list of those officered by men who are not afraid to put up a battle if necessary to defend their rights. When bandits attempted to hold up the bank yesterday they got themselves into a bad scrap with the result that one of the robbers was fatally shot by his own btill'>u^jipjffunded. . ilk?' wception lite bandits' receive fit; a while, the number of attempts will soon diminish.
