The county commissioners have purchased drinking fountains for Hie court house square. They will be erected as soon as the equipment is received and serviced free of charge by the city water department, a service which the public will appreciate. The lloniecomers will have headquarters in the basement assembly room of the Christian church. It is ii tine location, just a few steps from the midway, commodious and removed from the noise. There - will be many a happy reunion I here during Centennial week. The Detroit Black Legion should be cleaned out. Murdering just for a “thrill” is something a sane person can’t fathom.

It was an unusual accident und the investigation is going one. When one starts to write about Decatur. its people, homes, stores and industries, public institutions,, churches, schools and advantages the town enjoys, a feeling of grati-i tude grips him. As we recall our many blessings to mind we sometimes wonder if we appreciate fully everything which goes to 1 make this community one of the best in the world. Our appreciation | goes to the men and women who have helped build during the years and those who are now carrying' mi. Every Decaturite has a right to feel proud of his town and should be thankful for the opportunities and blessings enjoyed. Tonight is when Governor Landon goes on the spot. The man unknown to the country must voice I his opinions on national problems before the country and how he would handle matters if given the opportunity. Press dispatches say his speech will be short. He can ■ at least say if he is for or against aiding the farmer and merchant, bank insurance, creating employ-1 ; ment and other recovery measures , which in three years have brought the nations out of the dumps. His campaign managers have already . made excuses for him not being an entertaining radio speaker, but the country will be anxious to hear, what he has to say on recovery. o TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ July 23, 1916 was Sunday. o ♦- 4 .
