Misses Rose Martin and Mamie Smith, and Otto Wemhoff and Joseph Smith drove to Willshire, Ohio, yesterday. The excursion train to Rome City this morning was crowded to the steps when it pulled in here. It is the last regular excursion of the season and eighty-six tickets were sold from here It was rumored on the streets today that the Clover Leaf depot was to receive a new coat of paint in the near future.

The coming fight for heavy weight ehapmionship is arousing no little interest all over the i country. It is a case of brain against brain, skill versus strength, and in ■ spite of the many loud voiced j prophets very few fistic fans can predict the outcome. Jeffries will i enter the ring tomorrow night I weighing close to 240 pounds, j Corbett wilt tl v the scales at 145. Dr. J.S.

The long brick platform is 1 flecked with crushed rice which ; has been gathering till summer and | many people observe this condition | with dreamy thoughts of the departure of the bride and groom amid a shower of the rice, the throwing of old shoes and the usual ceremony’ met with on such occasion. The company makes no attempt to clean it up for it is the liest of advertisements and besides it makes the station and grounds a bit romantic. Preparations are being made for a large delegation from here to the 160th. Ind., regiment reunion at Tipton next Tuesday.

Mr. j Ward is a graduate of the State University, having just finished his work there. He has had charge of the schools at New Huven and Mayesville.—Geneva Herald. Decatur has a Commercial Club that is certainly full of promise. Not a day passes but the Decatur papers have something to say concerning immense institutions that the club is about to land for that place. How • ever as yet no new factories are filling the town with coal smoke from their stacks. When winter comes and the club members become engrossi*! in such little games as seven tip. pedro and euchre, the factories will lie fewer and the club will do like most all organizations of its kind, resolve itself to a purely social affair.
