Having spent twenty y■ ■■ trade 1 now give my exp no .e.: .. ...;, brief, file ia<t six years I hav. devoted entirely to the fine cattle trade, having sold at least one thousand head. Many men, and good fanners, think the price high and that it will not pay, and that the pri-e must got lower. N ; « j t■ ■tt * yi>.t .it ;vut.<> I lot one .11 i.u it. Ever since the exportation of live cattle to E tripe the bettei qualities have gradually increased in price and demand, and there never was a time that the better qualities were more appreciated than at present. Suppose there was no foreign demand for wheat, and it all had to be marketed in the 1 nited States. I dare say the price would not. exceed 30 to 40 cents F per bushel. -Inst so with native and inferior cattie. They have to be marketed at home, and the home market is supplied and the demand ceases. But not. so with the better qualities. We frequently hear men sty that natives are just as go-'d as the improved Shorthorns. and that if fed as well will command as much in the market. I say to that man you are mistaken and if you think you are not just ship one load g? to the eastern market and there comI pete with the improved cattle in the market and that will e 'fivincc you at » once there is fri.n one tn two cents w difference in the 'piality, even the - . .? . weight. Just ' :m.re am ament tipis pose that in ten years they wiii be lower, but I migh just as well say that in ten years horses would be bought at from S2O to S4O per head, and c >rn sto 10 cents per bushel. Are you nit and have you not been raising these articles for many years, - l( id we still have the demand the sun? is ever? Just so with cattle. Ttiey are slaUghBiered yearly, I the blm-k is th • ; ■ of them all, and the main point i.s ‘ most p ot': Is with the 1 -' f E wn hr-'i 6VCf Will 36 iiiVc* i»Uv fid,. . . . • © 8011 to believe that they will be htgaer. [ know quite a number of good grazers who will not feed or graze a steer that is less than half blood claim. They cannot get market price for feel fed in native cattle, ml I firmly b.dieve then, fir I tiruly lelicve there is as n i••n differ ice m the breed of cattle as there is in the old, sour, native apple and the well improved rambow or belleflower. and that is certainly perceivable to all, and so are cattle by those that try them. I came here to run down no man's cattle, but to do a business among you, and hoping to be patronized by those who wish to improve their stock. Making this a study anil a business I think I can give satisfaction to all that buy of me. I have sold three since I came here, two to Mr. Christ Voust and one to Mr. Samuel Hut, the- - gmtlemaii being my |rst bqycrs. l aey have had sem • experi ice in good o i tie, and are enterprising farmers. They purchased one White Hose, one Flory aid one Red Rose, ail of them being of good families, and are in lividually good animals and good 1 ioki ig. being only ye-i/linzs and weign 1,000 pounds each.

I exp t il 0 )l;;t;ii.tiy m t. • . ..I supply al the Buri ii-n.-- I l ic. i- V. at: cording to br. ■. ig and <■! > jin. generally think my stock I a-k them to go »o the front and try and buy and see fur themselves, for I certainly have some a 1 vantage over a man just buying a few head.

In conclusion we can announce the t cheerful result of the fair in clearing t $2,037, for which result we arc much e obliged to our fiiends. s Rev. 11. Taco. Wilken. [lt will be noticed in the above that Rev. Wilken has given his report of ’ the drawing as the same appeared on 1 the tickets, which would leave the ‘ reader with the belief that a Mr. Schmidt, of Indianapolis, had d awn the town L>t. Mr. Schmidt bought ticket No. 66. bat before leaving town sold it to ; Mr. James Butterworth, clurk of the Miesse Hn-' for fifty cents. That being the lucky number James, of course, drew the lot and already has a deed for it. The drawing was witnessed by an immense crowd of people, and all Were satisfied.— Eli. Dem.] New School Building.—That Decatur is sadly in need of a new public school bull log there can certainly be m> reasonable grounds for doubt. Why iis it Jiai i. .n i.- Guilt? Is it because t I ttie qm -tioii inns: > agiiated for ten j ■ p- .re taken ' . vause there , arc a h-w dr 'lies or bari.acicsopposed to | ■ an improvement of that kind with no I 1 other excuse than that it will involve i the town in debt ? The latter query is doubtless the correct one. It is a disgrace to the s hool children of Deeaj tur to ask ’hem to crowd themselves 1 within the wails of that old dilapidated frame building. It is too small. It is unpleasant. There i.s not an inviting or cheerful aspect about the whole shebang. Its day of usefulness was numbered twenty years ago, and it is cruel to impose upon its infirmities at this i late day. The very fact that it will i involve the town m debt ia the very ’ I reason why a new building should be i erected, ft is indebtedness that makes ! . towns. Show to the world that you are ’ going to make public improvements i and others will locate here and assist lin paying off the debt. Let the sluggards go to the ant and learn wisdom from the study of her ways. Go to , the best towns in the state and there you will see life and activity, but you 1 will see them in debt for their publie buildings, an I with that fact apparent ' you will see them inviting new-comers ’ b; basing their invitations upon good ' ; schools and building- good society and :. h:i-i'i,-'<s. Let twenty-year bonds ■' b. I--:, 'I n tl-sjilifl or $20,001; I publie i-iiijdiug. There is no ' ' reasonable excuse for waiting longer, j ’: Not another winter should find Deca- ! tur without a suitable school building.

On with a new school building. The Sunday -VnV, Fort Wayne, has I changed to a five column eight-page sheetThousands of tons of nice clear ice are going to waste in the St. Marys river.

When the snow all melts you can see what was thrown into the back yard during the winter. It has been pretty thoroughly established that when a fellow goes out on a bust he returns busted. Geneva is clamorous for another railroad. The Triumph advises the citizens to be up and doing. The “latest wrinkle” is not objected to as s.rongly by the average young lady as the first wrinkle.

Merrill at the Miessie House. Let every man who is favorable to ‘ the project of building a new school ■ i house make it known by word and ac- I tion. The town council has purchased ' trucks, ladders and buckets. They ■ will be here in a few weeks from Chi- ■ cago. The contract for putting in a sewer ; from the river to west of the railroad j on Madison street will probably be let i soon. The Catholic church fair will long i be remembered as one of the most sue-1 | oesstul enterprise ever gotten up in the I town.

Frank Mann writes home to his father that suicide mania prevails to an alarming extent among the students of the Ann Arbor law school. In some respects Decatur is not unlike 4tibitrr t foi: c salqou ip Lepatui without a back door to it wouldn't be i worth five cents on jbe dollar. Mr. M. P.

The attack on the editor of the Port- ) land C'liiinifrciiJ ]r; drunken printer, of which we made brief rm ntion last i- week, was brutual in the extreme. Mr. Marsh was struck in the head with a chair, the blow fraeturing his skull. \l.

We want the business me t of Decatur who are owing us on subscription to come and pay us. We need the money very much. Please give attention to this and don't think it is meant . for somebody else, but just make up your mind that it is and you will I not be mistaken. So far as we can learn not a single valentine passed through the Decatur ( postoffieeou the 14ih. Os course, it , i s qiii:e probable some few were sent, but, not many, and that faetgoesa long way towards proving that the silly custom of sending spoony mottoes and ridiculous caricatures through the mails has about had its day. Decatur his been sleeping too long. If she would grow and prosper her citizens must arouse from their slumbers and let the world know that we live. Let politics alone fora few years and devote your time and money to the up-builditig of your town. We are surrounded by a fine producing country, but we are by no means getting the full and legitimate valtta of it. Comb foundation is growing more and more in favor with the apiarist. A small triangular piece placed in each section is a sufficient guide for building straight combs.

The wretches who. . | under fictitious signaturea,deliberately I poisons character are more cowardly j than a murderer, more selfish than a ' burglar who robs your house in the ’ ! night-time and meaner than a sneak ! I thief. They are the embodiment of I all that is cowardly and mean and i ■ despicable. During the church fair many of our ■ citizens improved the opportunity of becoming acquainted with Rev. VVil- . ken, pastor ar the Catholic church, I and we hear him most favorably spoken lof on all sides. Bev. Wilken is yet a young mau. energetic aud ambi- , tious, scholarly, genial and pleasant t<» all, and if the brief period lie his been here is a forerunner of what his future will be our Catholic friends have reason for congratulating themselves upon their good fortune of having see';: . 4 the services of their pres. • t wortny paster. When Rev. Wnken came here he found tfie conI gregafioq with almost no school build- ' ing at all. He comprehended the sitI tttion and knew that something must ■ be done, and the course he pursued is one well worth the study of young I men, and many middle-aged men, too. ' for that matter.
