Clem Kennedy has moved his j j billiard and pool tables to Geneva,' .he claiming this is a poor town for. his business. Whether this is a reflection upon the business interests of Decatur, or a credit to her I moral standing, we leave for you | to dissect and solve. Reports have reached the city’ that the barn belonging to David ■ Werling who lives west of town, was burned Tuesday, and the crops just harvested have gone glimmering w’ith it. A boy whom Mr. Werling lately took from an ' orphans’ home is said to have confessed that he was responsible for the ruinous Hames, although he assigned no reasons for such conduct. He is now in the Bluffton jail. Charles Burlingham is defendant in a suit to be tried at the August term, which was formerly tried before Esq. Veley and appealed from him to the court here. The complaint shows that on July 19, he violated one of their town ordinances by hauling a wagon load of nitroglycerine through their streets, for which offence the Esq. fined him $lO. The only objection we can see to this is that the justice should have fined him the full extent of the ordinance, and kicked the other end of his pantaloons for good pay. This thing of endangering the lives of so many people is j contempt sufficient to hang any one up by the toes. The case com s ! from Geneva. Work began Tuesday on the waterworks trenches, there being something near one hundred em- | ployees working on the line. Pipe . is now distributed over the greater i portion of the city, aud we 1 may expect our streets to be in a turmoil for some time. We understand that a petition, signed by nearly every property owner along the brick street, has been presented t<> the city dads asking them to have the pipe along this line of street, to be laid in the alleys.

H. & C. —Decatur Democrat. Norval, don’t you ever get tired of writing those chestnutty communications to your paper and then signing fictitious names to them! Aud haven’t you any more brains than to compose oue like the above? You are the biggest baby we know of, and if you keep up the lick you will soon wear diapers and a bib. In answer to the above communication —signed “H. & C-,” but conceived in the dis eased brain of the Democrat editor —we just want to explain that no one but Will Sheets is connected with the blow-out at Berne. August 3, and surely Will Sheets is privileged to get his job printing any place where Will Sheets may desire, Blackburn to the contrary notwithstanding. X. Y. Z,
