Business. At a meeting of Sam Henry Post No. 63. Department of Indiana, at their Post Hall in the city of Decatur. Indiana, while said Post had met for the transaction of such business as might come before said body on Sat urday. Dec. 7. HOL it is currently re- ■ ported that said Post by a vote of 27 to 17 turned over the command of said Post from the former commander to the undertaker (G. W. Woodward) I for ■■burial." But as we have never ' heard of Commander Woodward burying a live body, we are hoping to see said body returned to said hall on ■ the first Saturday night in January, 1902, fully recuperated and and in its usual vigor and strength, as he has the venerable Dr. L. Purdy that he may call to his assistance if thought necessary. J. R. Smith, A. Comrade. Removal Sale. Having rented the Smith building, next to Natianal Bank, and preparatory to moving January Ist, 1902, I have concluded to sell regardless of cost in order that I may close out some of the line that I do not intend ,to carry after changing location. i Those that need anything in my line ! 1 should call at once as I would rather sell at a sacrifice and benefit my customers than to damage them in moving at a loss to myself. This sale will positively be on from now until the last day of this year. You who call ; at Coffee’s Bazaar will be convinced I that my proposition is correct.— D. D. j Coffee, Prop. 39t4
