It's an old story, used each year, but with effect, for recently the wise ones have been doing their shopping in the early days of December, thus saving themselves much worry, securing the best gifts and doing a great favor to the lady or gentleman behind the counte' Elizabeth Clark-Lang, a bride of one day, shot and killed Mrs. Mary Coppie at Logansport Tuesday night, because Mrs. Coppie made the remark at the wedding that the bride was old and ugly. Mrs. Lang admits the act attd .l says she is glad of it She deserves all the punishment she gets and the Miss Zimmerman, who did the gossiping that caused the rash act, should also be taken care of.

time is here when something real I should be done. If we would advance ' we must hustle.

I .'L A number of Decatur i<eople are in- ' terested in converting the old public cemetery from an eyesore, a run-down, cast-off property, into a beautiful park i and Mr. McDougall, the Indianapolis' artist, beet landscape gardester of the state, has made a d. awine and an es- J Uniate on this work. For jlst a little money this can be made as pretty a ; spot as can be found anywhere, a credit to the city, and -hange the appearance of that entire section of the city. It would enhance the value of property in that part of town and would furnish a comfortable spot during the summer months. The plans include a lake and central fountain, prety walks, hedge and shrubbery and fences and gates. mark it down as one of the things we are going to . do to improve Decatur next year. Dr. Henry Moore was fortunate in his death in that he passed away as he hoped that he m.' o nt, without pre-, ; «ding illness and surfering, and while at his desk and on duty. He imc lived serenty-two years, and his mature life was spent in the service of his fellowmen. He went into the army as a , b®y. and served there in the medical ‘ and hospital corps. He was one of the 1 early advocates of the present method of resisting pulmonary diseases. He ■ was a man of faith and works. He had lived out of doors at times, and had induced others who were suffering from or threatened with consump- , tion to do so. He was president al, the board cf trustees of the state io- -

berciilosis hospital, a fitting honor, as he had much to do with the advocacy and organization of the hospital. He waa frequently intrusted with important colMnisgions hy the state or by largo IJRuxiratioM, and always executed them skillfully and honorably. He leaves a large family. I Friends throughout the state are witaesea that he did "not live in vain.—lndianapolis j News. SHED TEARS IN LEAVING I The transfer of tho Adams county thirteen orphans from the Marion to the ‘Muncie home was accomplished with success, but with tears on the part of the youngsters, many of whom were adverse to leaving their home there. . They appeared well and hearty, well-fed, and well-clothed, their clothing for their departure being clean and nicely mended, and their real affection for the supeiintendent was manifest in the tears the children shed in leaving. There is much regret that the orphanage at Marion is to be closed. —— o LOTS FOR SALE. Two good building lots, -within five blocks of court house and inside railroads?
