Attend the meeting at the surveyors office this evening and get ready to work and vote for the democratic candidates for city offi nets, the same to be voted for May 3. The election of the democratic city ticket May 3 will help the organization for the battle this fall. Show your energy at this time and elect the ticket by a good old time majority. The formal opening of the campaign will take place at the surveyor's office this evening. Every democrat should attend and get ready for a victory of the size of the democratic majority in the city. The republican moralists at this time are such for political purposes only. They desire to control the council and thus control the policy of the administration and the appointment to offi<** of a number of republicans thereafter. The democrats should not get caught twice on such a game.

Every democratic candidate has a moral right to expect and receive f the loyal support of every participant in the last democratic city pri- a mary. It was expressly agreed and | understood that such support t would be given the nominees. They t are all honest and capable men will make officers of high character and t efficiency and should receive the united support of the Decatur democracy. Support the ticket. ( t OBITUARY.

The mimes for the camel are various. but the oldest seems to be gamal, or the “beast with the bump." whleh has been thought to be a Joan word from Semitic speech, but which has no true Semitic derivation. Another loan word is the name ab, or hab, tor the elephant, which occurs in Tamil, in Sanskrit, In Egyptian and tn Semitic speech. but which was probably invented in or near India. The names for the horse are all very various, agreeing only in their derivation from roots meaning “to run” or “to be speedy.” The taming of the horse seems only to have occurred In n time of early civilization, long after the separation of the various Asiatic I stocks.—Scottish Review.

Os an agricultural paper will tell the farmer he should breed only to draft stallions. His advice may be good, but there is a bare possibility that he may be mistaken. The reader will understand that I have trotting bred stallions and am, of, course tooting my own horn. Suppose a farmer breeds a good draft mare to a good draft stallion, he will for the produce, if large and sound at four years of age receive about |2OO. On the other hand, suppose he breeds a well-bred trotting mare to a well-bred trotting stallion that is sound and individually good, the produce, everything being equal, will at least sell for as much as the draft horse, and if a handsome road horse. SSOO to $1000; and if a high-class trotter from SSOOO to $25,000. It costs no more to break one than the other. It is a mistaken idea that a farmer, if he breeds to trotting stallions, must have a track on his farm and keep a trainer or do the training diinseif. If he has a handsome road horse there will be a dozen buyers for him as soon as he has him broken. If a trotter comes his way’ he will tell him a hundred times before he is even broken that he is a trotter, and it will not cost him a cent to i find it out. Great trotters are born trotters. In Grandor 35996, and Major Online by Online 2:04 I have, | it is safe to say, two high-class trot- i ting ttallions as are in the state. They are royally bred, good size, very speedy, and will make great sires. Stallion cards, giving breeding, description and service fee can I b»' had for the asking. A. N. Acker, | Pleasant Mills, Ind.
