Several new fronts for business houses in Decatur are being planned for the summer. It will add to the metropolitan appearance of the city. When we get our new lights, and other Improvements, everybody will have to fix up. "I know a n' .ure-faklr,” Mr. Rene Bathe, "who claims that a hen of his last month hatched, from a setting of seventeen eggs, seventeen I chicks that had in lieu of feathers, fur. He claimed that tlfese fur-coated ' i hicks were a proof or nature’s adapts-, Hon of all animals to their environ- : tnent, the seventeen eggs having been . of the cold-storage variety.” Bi ice McMillen of the Niblick store, I store, had a lucky escape from a seriI ous injury that might have resulted in 1 blindness. While in tlx- cellar Tuesday afternoon, chopping some kindling sticks, one of the sticks became "unruly” and flew up, striking him on the left eye-lid. The eye-lid wrs cut, the stick penetrating it in such away that ‘ the eye-ball was scratched. Medical attenion given at once will doubtless prevent and complication arising, and ! the eye sight will not suffer in the . least. I When C. B. Andrews, county school truant officer, called this morning on the Hungarian and Belgian families in 1 Root township, near the site of the i beet sugar plant, he was very cordial i ly received, although he was unable to i understand the litto of their language . He, however, made known to them j that his visit was relative to the placing of the children in school, and was i informed that they had been entered this morning In the St. Joseph's Catholic schools. He was treated very kindly and found them the best kind of I people, the homes and all conditions being of the best. The house question in Decatur beI comes more of a puzzle each day. Gen- ' erally the people don’t realize what it means to the people who have work here, but can't find a house in which to move their family If you were at this office most any day you would find it a very common occurrence to have some one begging for some place in which to live. The town cannot grow without more houses. It’s a good in- ' ’ vestment. There are several hundred people who own vacant lots in Decatur. If you haven't got the money you can borrw it on your lot. Why not build? POLICE COURT NEWS. C. S.
