PAYS TO BE PROGRESSIVE. The fact that no toyn can afford to stand still or retrograde' comes in a stojry .from j Angola. The removal of their ? furnace factory to this city marked the beginning of a tobaggan slide for the town -of Angola. Now they have thirty-five empty houses, and all efforts to revive Interest in the place has proven futile. While there, the furnace company was small, yet they employed several people, and did sufficient business that Angola could riot afford to lose them. This lesson from Angola should spur us to greater activity. ‘ f "‘ e--Another side of the Angola affair is worth repeating. In an effort to revive interest and to bring new factories there, they., endeavored to raise a sac tory fund. - One man -who Owned thirty-five housde that he rented, refused to aid the project with a single cent; It is no wonder they are decaying, but what a shame that this particular patriot could not suffer alone. Such dead timber are a menace to any community, not from what they refuse to do, but from the example they set among their fellow man. t L — The Decatur Furnace ( company have added another fat contract for castings, which is but another evidence of the good management thereat, as well as their ability to take care of business in their line. The Decaitur Furnace is growing, and the pace they have set really makes one dizzy, Two new industries in Decatur will soon start their machinery, and open wide their doors for business. They are the Decatur Produce company and the Decatur Packing company, both capitalized with local money, and managed'hy local business men. It is this sort of progress that makes a; good town. AN INTERESTING MIXTURE. ». 1 Interest in building more homes to house those now clamoring for a residence in Decatur, is bearing fruit. A reliable business man is considering building on his lot in the Patterson addition. Should he decide to build, he can rent it a dozen times before a nail is driven, or a contract made for the building. This shows the existing conditions for more homes in Decatur. Relief must come and that soon. Let’s start a building boom for Decatur. I - ~ The Madison street improvement is going to be the best improvement ever made in Decatur.

came, in the Closing inning With Two Men on Bases. Pitcher Gray '’won Ills Own Game by Putting One Out of the Lot The Decatur team under the new management played their first game Tuesday and the error column shows the result of a day of nerves, the boys apparently still hearing distinctly-, the crash of the day before. HoweVer, we all know they have the goods, and will deliver it at the proper time. I The Portland team is one of the strongest in the state, and defeated the locals by a score \of six to three,' the visitors winning by a great batting rally in the ninth inning, which resulted in three big runs being chalked up to their credit. It whs a battle of left handed pitchers, m which Gray { had a little something over on Lefty and succeeded in holding our .batters in check to a very marked degiee and when hits meant runs they were not forthcoming. The visitors secured their runs in bunches, the first munch coming in the fifth, when by timely hitting and with the assistance of several very-raw errors, they .pushed three rups across the counting territory, and these runs looked big enough to win any game. The locals played a hard uphill battle securing their first run in the fourth inning, the result of a two base Lit and a single; the second run came in the sixth, the result of several errors, coupled with a hit and our third and last run came in the eighth, when by timely hitting we tied the score. However, it did not stay this way long, for in the visitors half of the ninth, Gray, the first man up clouted the ball over the right field fence for a home run. This did not satisfy the Jay Birds and by hard hitting pushed two more runs over the plate thus putting the game on ice and pulling themselves out of a tight hole. The Portland bunch is composed of a lot- of gentlemanly players who know the national game to perfection, and play to win. The locals were a little off color in yesterday’s contest, as they had not fully recovered from the effects of the team disbanding, and in consequence were not as peppery as in former games. The same teams are playing again today. The score:* ■ 1 ' . . . j .

AS TO THE U. 8. SQUADRON And ltd Visit to the Pacific—Think ths Expedition Mould Bp Deferred? - \ Tokio, July 18.—Confirmation of the report that a powerful battleship squadron would be sent by the United 1 States to the Pacific has been generally received with calmness, though there is botne surprise in certain quarters well versed in diplomatic niceties. It is said that the sudden change of program in the case of the Japanese , training squadron last January, when it was first intended that its voyage should include San Francisco and ■ other Pacific qoast cities, was evidently in deference to the wishes of the Washington government as made known to the Tokio authorities in an indirect but unmistakable manner. 1 The change of route was decided upon ’ only a couplp °f days before the squadron sailed. 1 It was though then that Japan acted wise in avoiding a course which might have proved injurious when a strong ahti-Japanese sentiment was prevailing in San Francisco. Though officially stated that the dispatch of the battleships to the Pacific is not directed towards Japan, it is felt''here that it is most Inopportune, when an attempt is evidently going qn to impair the traditional friendship between Japan and the United States. Though the slightest apprehension is not entertained here, it is thought it would be better to defer at this moment any. thing that would be open to the slightest suspicions of provocation. -O rPLEASANT COUNTRY EVENT z Society Enjoyed Event at the Worden Home—Mrs. Butler Gives a.

Il OBITUARY. Samuel Mills was born in Licking < county, Ohio, March 3, 1826, and departed this life June 29, 1907, aged 81 years, three months and 26 days. He was the son of Abraham and Margaret 5 (Pease) Mills, natives of Pennsylvan- ? ia, who emigrated from Ohio to Wells 1 county, Indiana, in 1840. settling on • the land known as the Wible farm. 1 Samuel at the age of 23 years, purchased a 160-acre tract, eighty acres • of which he lived on until hie c He early learned privation and hards ship, common and in early settlers of 1 this country and in clearing his farm s he showed great strength and endur--1 ance, yielding an ax with great power, and but few, if any, equalled him 5 in clearing his land. No one did more • than he toward wiping r-1 ness and converting the land into • beautiful farms. Through industry 1 coupled with economy, in no sense ap-. 5 proaching parsimony, enabled him to become the owner of a flne and well 1 Improved farm. He was an excellent - farmer, taking great pride In hia work > and was always in the lead, planting when others were plowing; husking • when others were cutting, but because ’ of old age and the inroads of disease he began to feel the ravages of time ’ and was compelled to lay down the 1 tools of the farm and wait the inevl- ■ table. Mr. Mills was twice married, 1 in May 23, 1849, he chose for his cotn--1 panion Miss Magdaline Bender. To ‘ this union were born five* children, S. 1 C., of Adams county; Sarah Ellbn • Kleinknight, of Kingland, Sylvester, ■ of Wells county; L. C., of Adams county, and Mary Jane Sowards, of Tqcsin. In the spring of 1879 he was again married to Margaret Phel ie Gibbs. To this union were born twp children, Henry and Ethel, residing 1 in Wells county. We can say that 5 'a more kind-hearted, charitable and accommodating neighbor never lived than Samuel Mills. He was ever ready to aid a neighbor in distress and his aid came from the heart He answfer- ■ ed his country’s call for volunteers r during the great rebellion, enlisting > in August, 1862, with Mr. James Was- • son in Company G, 101st Indiana pi- ■ Tantry. He served Bis country with ; credit and was honorably discharged ; after suffering a long and severe spe|l -of sickness. He leaves a wife, seven I children, twenty-five grandchildren, • and eleven greet-grandchildren to > mourn his- departure. He bore i|s suffering with great fortitude and oftl en remarked that he was at peaw 1 with his God and ready to go. The funeral services were held at the Emmanual M. E. church last Sunday at 2 p. m., conducted by the Rev. A. J. Duryee, of Uniondale, interment ( in , Murray cemetery. ’ '“" ”* (ki ' ‘ 1 ’ ; O ‘ SOME CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS > -to.'.’ ' * ; • Bluffton Methodist* to Do a Little House ,, j y ( „ The official board ( of the Methodist church last night oflJcially.'drdere'd Im-' provements on the parsonage, church,, etc,, that have been hanging irb for' several months.
