Officials of the Great Norther Fair association, held a meeting Thursday, when plans for the comnlg exhibition next September were discussed. One of the important coficluslons arrived at wax the one to furnish more free attractions than heretofore. The association will furnish a part of them and the money subscribed by Decatur business men will also be used for that purpose. For several years a fund has been raised among the bus!-, ness men which was used for extra premiums on stock. In this way only a few peouple secured any benefit. This year, however, this money will be used to secure free attractions that will entertain and please all who attend the big fair. The more liberally the subscriptions, the better attractions that can be secured. Already negotiations have been begun with the Hoagland Brothers, who have perhaps the best on the road. They give a series of performances with a change each day, including lady riders, tandem races, chariot and hurdle races, riderless horses against time and other exciting and interesting events. This will likely be one of the attractions and there will be others.

E. Smith, of West Monroe street, left his home Friday morning and faced the “wide, wide world” that lay between his protecting home and papa’s office. He wandered along, his bright eyes open to all the novelties of an unexplored world. The bright-pretty valentines, the cuckoo clocks, the pasteboard babies that wink by machlhery, the striped sticks of candy In the jars in the windows, all served to pass the time pleasantly until he reached the fountain on the court house square. There a person who passes his home every day and knew him, met him, and spoiled all his pleasure by asking him if he ran away and telling him to come along. All his bravery vanished at the words of the strange jierson, and he turned to flee, a great longing rising In his little heart for the protection of his home 1 walls and yard. But the person mentioned thit his papa’s office was just across the way and the little chap, with joy in his heart, pattered along just in time to meet Willie Hammell, the clerk in the Smith & Schurger’s office, coming to meet him, having been notified by telephone message from Mills grocery to be on the lookout for him. A telephone message to the Smith home brought great relief to the anxious mother, who had missed the lltle fellow and was searching everywhere for him without success. Richard has only lately developed ths wanderlust fever, and this to the second time this ' fi '. >■ ‘ ■

week'that he resolved to take a long journey. The first time he only reach ed the Methodist parsonage, however, where the good pastor, whose duty it Is to care for the wandering, recognized the Htle lad and took him home. — q—«— Better not be at all Than not be noble. —Longfellow. > ' —— Mrs. Elizabeth Durr of near Pleasant Mills entertained at dinner Bunday in honor of her sister, Mrs. Rose Masters of Paulding, Ohio.
