ANOTHER CHAPTER City Treasurer Archbold Submits a Few Facts City Debt From Every Source is One Hundred and Twentv-One Thousand Dollars. For many reasons I have concluded to submit to the citizens oi Decatur a few facts and figures that will acquaint them with the financial condition of our city. Oae of the first reasons f tr this unsolicited act is to start a movemen' that will eventually bring harmony out of chaos and show the people that the present condition of our finance is the result of a carelesor a bad policy and not the result of the acts of any one individual cr any one set of oouncilmen AVe are reaping the harvest from seed that had been sown long ago When I first became city treasurer. Sept. 1. 1898, the city indebtedness •was ever 1113.000. Still the city was not “tied up". AVe did not feel the burden so much because it is so much easier to make a debt than pay one. In those days and in previous ones the huge debt that now staggers us was contracted. Alter this burden "was placed on our shoulders, then it became necessary to get down to a good long “steady pull out regard to politics. Our conn oilmen have not been equal to the emergency, because the contracting councils arranged their obligations to fall due faster than their succes-' sors could take care of them One tight financial squeeze followed another. As these conditions came on. temporary arrangements were made to “tide the city over." Or in other words temporary loans were ma le of the city banks. Or still in plainer terms the city mortgaged her tax duplicate to the ban ks many times at a high rate of inter- , est. This hi il of hslp only plan g ed the city in deeper or incieased the load we all have to carry. We have been helped out so often bv this manner of help that the city is in so deep that the city c uncil during March had to declare an “emergency." A little ni re tiuncial h a !p wi'l bring us to d’sgraoe. I would like to say right here that Ido not blame the bankfo- lending the city money, for that ’heir business, bnt I do thme th> city for the policy they adopted long ago. Our people must break away from thi« loose way of doing business. It is time now for th* ci'y to take up a strong stand tha’ will redeem her credit and keep i r redeemed. No man should ask the pe pie of Dec it ir or any other city t -i entrust him with the responsible position of councilman, mavor clerk, treasurer or any other post t: n unless he can show them wherhe can and will better their oondi- : tion What we want now is a ■ broad, sensible, honest view of the situation. Politics is all right, perhaps, but our citizens must understand that we need men of j brains and honor and not politicians to manage this business prop ositi n. Ido not mean to reflect on any <>f our present council, for this council contains material tha’ should go into the next council and their honorable acta in the future ■ ■fender a different policy would dem- j onstrate the truthfulness of this saying We have a business proposition and not a political proposition before us. Just one look at the financial condition of! the city will show this. The indebtedness of the city as it stood Feb. 15. 1905, was as follows :! City bonds <99,000; school bonds <30,000; water works bonds 926,000. Total bonded indebtedness 9'5,000. Floating Orders. —Water works r 910.443.78; electric light 91377-2.46; general fund. 93.193.98; general street orders. 91,617.66; salary orders. <3,251.38; tire department, <433.55; order for electric light engine and dynamo. <1,450; Monroe and Fourth street, <8.383.52; Elm street sewer, <3 ,575 12. Totrl <121.030.75. Now comes the time that requires skill *”d honor on the part of our cou>...inau- Not only this, <x>un-

oil, but future councils must be ible to distribute this heavy burden among the people, so that each person shall bear his proportion ac--ording to benefits received. Right iere is r oneof our greatest blunders. Ve not a fair tax levy. Our pres•nt council sees the error of this policy now and Decatur’s voters nust see that all future councils <re made up of men who are equal o the occasion. I do not believe n giving awav <IO,OOO of the ear nngs of our water works and elec--ic light plant each year to our vealthiest citizens and forcing our tboring people to carry unpaid ity warrants, marked "not paid, or want of funds.’’ Now. I must mpha.ize this .me thought that is Decatur must give each and every ■ne of her citizens a “square deal ind sh“ must not favor one class of ler citizens at the expense of mother. W. J. ARCHBOLD.

ODDLY NAMED TOWN'S QUEER TITLES THAT DOT THE MAPS OF UNCLE SAM Thin Nomenclative Pecnliavity In Not Confined to Any One Pnrt of the Country, but Lend* itself Impartially to All Section*. The names of some towns in the United States pr- • • >ly cause tl., r inhabitants considerable vexations when away from home, says the Chicago Chronicle. These names have certain peculiar meanings in everyday talk and as soon as they are mentioned they are apt to prompt troublesome questions by funm.’.kers. For example, the man from Alone. Ky.. might have to explain to a stranger living in New York Low be could do business if be were the only inhabitant and how the excise laws were enforced if the barkeeper, the toper, the policeman aud the magistrate were all one and the same ami in case there were more than one person in Alone if all were bachelors and old maids. Citizens of Lonely. N. <?.. and Lonesome. Ky.. would encounter much the same sort of questions, and all. of course, would finally be asked if they were once Jersey commuters If a man hailed from Affinity. N. Che would naturally be supposed to be married and his home life an unpv.nctuated chapter of bliss. He would be exiWH'ted to wear as wide a smile as the citizen of Joy or Happy. Tex., or Paradise. Colo., with a temper as subdued as the inhabitants of Purity. Minn. What would happen, however, if the man from Affinity should meet a man from Peace. Ala., would, indeed, be problematical. They might, after the fashion of some westerners, boom the merits of their respective towns with such ardor that at last these representatives of Peace and Affinity would come to blows. They might at last develop as much disrelish for each other as the citizens of Cream. Wis.. who should chance to take dinner with a citizen of Caviar. N. J On the other hand, they might become as chummy as the townsmen of those three towns in the states of Colorado. Oreg on and West Virginia which all bear the name of Crook Any one coming from Eye. N. C_ could hardly expect to join the New York police force and find things congenial. If be was a native of Lax. Ala., or Blind Bay. La. on the com trary. his duties as a metr ' n binecoat might prove ongem-v:. If he said he was from Soiom. O . be w : d m >-t likely be told that his own twn must need his servi, < m-vre. If he replied that it didn't, he might be recommended to try to get a position in Pluto. Miss. Near the Greene river in Kentucky and several miles south of Lewis: there is a t iwn by the name of Pig It fias never teen recorded in any history of the rnited States whether the cbaraeteristies of the people of Pig are any different from those of the people of Lamb. 111., or Chickies. Pa. This is certainly to be regretted. It would certainly be interest.ng to kn •w if the worthy burghers of Pig are any m ce happy and contented than other human beings, whether they have s i t ills ss msomnia. nervous prostration or meiancholia; whether there is any sale in Pig for appetizers, and what the god people do on Fridays.

Should a woman from Bic F > : Tex., or Antiquity. 0.. advertise for s husband it is safe to say she would r • get as many answers as a woman fr ~ Beauty. W. Vs. The man wr.-o 1..-. —i from Jug. Ala., m ght tare more d:f- , Acuity in being e'-- to the White Ribbon society than his :• ''-C-’-rirT from Dry Town. Cat The native of Magi<\ Ala. would no i -übt :e welcomed by certain Wall street officers where a citizen from Fair;•Lay. Wis.. would find the door shut Should the woman from Alamcide. Ga_ or Fashion. Ga.. meet a woman from Jays ville. 0.. the two might get into such a controversy that st the end they would both be believed to be natives of Lotseyville. N. Y. The citizen of Fossil. Ore., unlike the c-itizer. of Quick. Neb_ would no doubt feel very much at home in Philadelphia, and for much the same res- <ns the representative of Fact. Kam. would find a congenial atmosphere in Boston. Vegetarians should go to Grass. S. D. Any one might think that lee. Ga would become a more popular summer resort than Heli Hole. Colo. A jury made up of men half of whom were born in Japan. Mo.. and the other half in Russia. N. Y. would be pretty sure to disagree. At any rate, they would not call in a man from Jingo. Tenn., for a peacemaker. Should the girl from Leapyear. Tenn., become dissatisfied with things at home there is little danger of her settling in Bachelor. Mich. Neither would the man from Langur. Minn.. think of moving to Jump. O. A man may travel from Dan to Beersheba nowadays and think it a very short journey. There is a Dan in Kentucky and a Beersheba ever the line in Tennessee. Neither is the trip from London to rekin a long one in the United States. Ohio contains t»*h a Pekin and a London, and it is not a long journey from Whisky Buttes. Mont- to Seven Devils. Ida. Cricket* la J«p** There is a large green cricket to Japan of which the children of that eonn try are fond. It is sold in causing title bamboo cages in booth.- oc the streets and is loved for its efje-ry chirp. Several varieties of tree .'dr ets are pure white, coining at different times of the year Some have a note so loud and insistent that to have two or three playing their fi idles in a garden at once makes a noise almost deafening while’s species that comes late in the fall has an exquisite note like the quick ringing of a small bell. There is no instinct like that of th* heart -Byron.
