Sadie Chrisman At about 12 o’clock on Tuesday night there sauntered into the Elk’s restaurant a young man with about twentythree summers attached to his appearance, not counting the good-sited jag stored underneath his belt. He wanted all the good things insight, and eveu so far forgot himself as to take the good name of Al Ayers in question. He was told to depart from the premises which he refused to do, remarking that no Hoosier could put him out, and pulling out from his overcoat pocket a young Gatlin gun, he thought of running the place a 'la cow-boy. In this attempt, however, he was called by a full hand from Al Ayers’ sleeve, which compelled him to lay—down—on the floor—his claim to supremacy.

Farmers, sow flax seed, andj take advantage of this raise in prices. 51-2 A great many of our merchants continually persist in handling articles of outside manufacture, when the same goods in quality can be procured of people in our own city who are manufacturers in the same line. When our money goes outside it helps the prosperity of other towns. When every thing else is equal, why not give resident manufacturers the preference? When they are neglected or handicapped their labor force is reduced and trade to that extent is damaged. We can hear our business men complain about hard times, while the business men of other citifes are prosperous. Whose fault is it? We patronize other cities and hence just such doings boom them to our detriment. Let our business men examine into this article and see how much of it applies to them. Council Proceedings. AU members present, Mayor Reed presiding. ' Reading of minutes dispensed with. Finance committee reported the bill of the Decatur Electric Light Co., allowed. The school trustees reported to the council a deed of purchase for lots 466, 467 and 468 in J. D. Nuttman's northwest addition to the city of Decatur, for the sum of S6OO.

The council ordered that the deed be accepted, provided the taxes' be paid cut of the purchase money. The Knights of Labor presented a petition asking that the ordinance requiring all parties to work two days on the road or pay two dollars, be changed so that any one can work two dollars worth of time at the regular rate per day and thereby be discharged from further road work. The same was referred to a committee consisting of Buhler, Patterson and the city attorney. The petition of Grant Railing asking for a change of plat of Railing's addition was granted. Titus Ernst was appointed a committee to confer with commissioners to see if they would grant the petition of Railing, praying for a street along the north side of the fair grounds. □The following is the location of the electric lights: Ist at Mercer and Oak streets, 2nd Winchester and Rugg, 3rd Adams and Second. 4th Adams and Fourth, sth Adams and Eleventh, 6th Jefferson and Front, 7th Jefferson and Third, Bth Jefferson and Fifth, 9th Jefferson and Seventh, 10th Madison and Second, Hth Madison and Fourth 12th Madison and Ninth, 18th Monroe atit Second, 14th Monroe and Fifth, 15th Monroe and Eighth, 16th Jackgon and ’ Third. 17th Marshall and Second, 18th Marshall and Fifth, 19th Line street between the railroad, 20th Adams and Eighth,

MEMORIAMDavid Mumma, was Borne January 10, 1884, in Dover township, Tuscarawas county, Ohio. Was united in marriage witli Anna Burrell, March 5, 1814, with£whom he lived until death. They moved to Adams county, Indiana. SeptenUier 1851. He was converted to the Christian faith and became a member of the U. B. church In the winter of 1845. He was instrumental in the organization of the Pleasant Valley class, also in the construction of said church of which he was a life-long member. Os him it can be said that he was a man of noble Christian attributes, faithful and devoted to his church, to his Master, to his family and death has robbed the church of an earnest and zealous worker, the family of a kind and loving father and husband his near associates of a warm and personal friend, and the community of an honored and respected citizen. It can be truthfully said that all who knew him or came in contact With him were greatly benefited thereby* As his conduct and demeanor had more to do with molding the society of 'his surrounding neighborhood than any one other man. His house was always open to the church and community, his whole life and thought was bent on doing good to his fellow-men. The announcement of his death brought unusual sadness to the community, and when we recall tiimhid the events of other days, his hands have w rought tn thel'neighlwrhofce with the blessed at uSne with the angels ik eternity, at rest from the cares, toils and perplexities of life. His presence and influence will be missed in the home, in the church and in society. The only event of his Christian life which seemed to distress and grieve him most sorely was owing to the fact tliat the portals of the church by which he had so nobly stood were closed upon him. He died at his home in Root township, Adams county, Indiana, March 2, 1893, age 69 years, 1 month and 22 days. He leaves a sorrowing companion, nine children, six sons and three daughters, three daughters having preceded him, grandchildren and a host of friends who will mourn their loss, for his place nowvacant will be difficult to fill, for “Uncle Dave” as he was familiarly known was the recognized leader in all church work. Funeral services were held Saturday morning from the Pleasant Grove I . B. church, conducted by Rev. Beaber. The esteem by which he was held was shown by the large concourse of people who came out. to pay their last tribute of respect to one they loved. With tearful eyes and thro! ■ing hearts we said to Uncle David farewell, w ith the confident hope of meeting again some day in the home of many mansions. Six sons of the deceased father bore bis remains to their last resting place. Servant of God, well done! Thy glorious warfare's past, The battle’s fought, the victory's won. And thou art crowned at last! FAIR ASSOCIATION. The meeting for the Incorporation of a new Fair Associatiqn was held at the Court House yesterday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by N.

The following rs what a Union City paper says about them: The concert given by the Schumann Male Quartet, Os Chicago, in the Main St; M. E. church, last night. Was attended by a large audience, and certainly a most appreciative one If frequent and continued applause is an indication of the listener's enthusiasm. The seats wcreentirely tilled, even to the rear entrance, and the audience was made of that class of people who evidently appreciate entertainments of a high order. The quartet made a pleasing appearance and certainly acquitted themselves creditably. Their sinking evinces careful training and is especially marked for uniformity. Mr. Johns succeeded in pleasing the people so well in “Tell Her 1 Love Her So” that he was obliged'to follow with “Marghariia.” "Deep in tjie Mine,” byMr. Cheuey, well deserves its. name from the extremely deep tones in which it was given. The concert was concluded by the quartet with "Comrades in Anns,” by request. The‘attention of the audience was ' marked throughout the program «nd.noth- ' ing but favorable comment was Tijeard on all siiles.
