THE CITY ELECTION: — It's over again and the voters of Decatur have expressed their preference in a rather decisive manner. George Krick was re-elected mayor; Mrs. Christen, clerk; Mrs. Martin, treasurer, and Linn. Vance, Appelman, Hunter and Gillig as councilmen, the entire democratic ticket winning. It was an endorsement of the record established during the past four years because Mr. Krick and four of the candidates for council are serving now and because the progress made in Decatur during the administration has excelled in most every way any similar period and fc.r which they are at least partially credited. It was a clean campaign iu which mud-slinging was not engaged in by either side and in which candidates of unimpeachable reputation took part. This is a democratic community and the result should serve to reunite the forces of that political party. The officers elected will not be unmindful of their campaign promises which we are sure were made in good faith. They will continue to operate the city in a conscientious and business like manner, giving the people lower rates and as many improvements as are possible without imposing burdens. They will appreciate the cooperation and the friendly criticisms from the people they represent and will, we confidently believe, do everything in their power for the advancement of Decatur. There are many things to be done which will help us all and we hope that every citizen will aid in the accomplishment of those improvements. Consult and work with your councilmen and with your other officials and help to make this the finest place iu all tlie land in which to live. During this campaign it seems to us every one has kept in mind the fact that we are all neighbors and friends and that real progress comes only from an earnest and cooperative, long stong pull together without petty, strong pull together without petty, continue to step forward the next four years. There were many decided surprises iu yesterday’s city elections in Indiana. The democrats swept back into power in many of the larger cities where they had been out for a decade or two. They took Indianapolis. Fort Wayne, South Bend, Evansville, Terre Haute, Anderson. Muncie, Elkhart. Marion. Huntington and a hundred smaller cities. They returned to power In the state of Virginia and everywhere the results were such as to instill hope in the breasts of those who may have been discouraged. Thanksgiving comes next and it will be here three weeks from Thursday. an occasion for returning thanks U»r the many privileges, favors and prosperity and happiness which may have com" to you and to yours. You will if you really try find many things to feel grateful about. You are living in the greatest country under the sun. you have many opportunities to live happily and to succeed to that aim you may have in Blind. You should be profoundly thankful for many things.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Selma, Ala. —(UP)-Dr. H. V, Caine of Safford recently received a check for 315 in payment of a tee. The treatment tor whicb the fee was charged was administered 25 years ago to Edgar McGarrall negro. the air yesterday and the returns were the most pleasing the democrats have received In years. They started good and kept coming and the old timers, who have faced so many defeats the past ten years could not help but make a little noise. A parade headed by a band stirred things up for a half hour or so and the boys expressed their glee. The election is over. Let's all get busy on those things best for every one concerned. Not that elections are not but that are many other things likewise important. We can do much in this community if we all try hard enough, act as unselfishly as we can and remember that what helps one person or one group of persons is sure to help all of us. The stock market has crashed 30 many times the past two or three weeks that we would think it was about smashed to pieces and we understand that some of those who indulged in margin gambling are as flat as pancakes. We are told that at least three owners of down town business properties have arranged to have the brick repainted and lined next spring. It would help more than any one thing that could be done if ten times that many would catch the fever. o * TWENTY YEARS AGO * ♦ Twenty Years Ago Today • ♦ From the Daily Democrat Fie • Nov. 6 —lndiana Lighting company moves offices front Niblick building, Madison and Second, to Bowers building on Monroe street.

After he moved to California he removed his membership to the First Reformed church in Los Angeles of which congregation lie was a member at the time of his death.
