ELECT OFFICERS Cemetery Association Choose New President and Trustee. The Decatur Cemetery Association met last night at the office of Dr. J. S. Coverdale, the matter of business being to select a'president and trustee to fill the vacancy caused ■by the death of Judge Studabaker. The latter has served in both these positions since the oig.nization of the association and his counsel has always proven wise. Solomon Linn was chosen as president of the association and the vancancy on the board es trustees was tilled by the selection of Sylvestor Spaugler. The new officials assume their duties a t once. The other officers remain the same as before. STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH The Holthouse Drug Co. Guarantee That Hyomei will Cure the Worst Case of Catarrh in Decatur. When one of the most reputable concerns in Decatur guarantees that a medieme will effect a cure or they | will refund the money, it speaks vol-| times as to the merits of that remedv. It is this way that the Holthouse' Drug Co. are selling Hyomei. the treatment that has made so many remarkable cures of both acute and chronic catarrh in Decatur and vicinity. Hyomei is not a pill nor is it a liquid that has to be taken with a tablespoon or a wineglass. Just breathe it by the aid of au inhaler that comes in every outfit and benefit will be seen from the first treatment. It destroys all germ life in the air passages and lungs and enriches and purifies the blood with additional ozone. It cures .catarrh of the head and throat, or of the stomach, liver and kidneys. Wherever mucous. membrane contains catarrhal germs, I there Hyomei will do its work of healing. When using this treatment the air you breathe will be found like that upon the mountains high above the sea level, where growing balsamic trees and plants which make the air pure by giving off volatile antiseptic fragrance that is healing to the respiratory organs. Complete Hyomei outfit costs but SI.OO and includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks treatment. Remember that if Hyomei does not cure yeu the Holthouse Drug Co. will refund your money. This is a good time to cure catarrh by this natural method and prevent catarrhal colds that are so common at this season.

CURFEW ALARM May be Resumed to Remind Children of Time to Go Home. Our attention has been called to the fact that many children ranging in ages from five to fifteen years are again making a practise of playing upon the streets until a late hour at night. There is a city ordinance which provides a punishment for children found on the streets wihout parents, unless on an errand, after eight o'clock and for several years this ordinance was strictly enforced. Since the city hall was destroyed by fire however curfew is not sounded and the children are again taking advantage of same. An effort may be made to have the city council again provide for a curtew alarm.

HOW SHOT IS MADE. One Case In W 111 ch Mnn Cannot Improve on Nature. “Did you know the method of making shot has never changed? No? Well, it’s a fact,’' said the shot maker. "Hundreds of years ago shot was made in just the same way it is made now. Seems strange, doesn’t it, that with all the improvements in other lines none has been made in this? Oh, yes. plenty of men have tried to find some better way, but they all have had to give it up and go back to the old shot tower. They wanted to get rid of the high tower, for that is the most expensive part of the plant. “You know, shot is made by pouring a melted composition of lend and arsenic through a screen or from a big ladle with a serrated edge at the top of the tower and letting It fall Into a tank of water. The drops of lead get perfectly round on their way down just like raindrops, and by the time they reach the water they are cold enough so they do not flatten out when they strike. Then the water finishes the cooling process. "They have tried dropping the lead through a big tube, with a blast of cold air against the outside, and they have tried dropping it through glycerin, but none of these ways seems to work. Why can’t they improve on it? Well, 1 suppose because the fellow who started making shot fourfd the right way. It’s just following the course that Nature takes in making hail, and I don’t suppose they cun beat her at her own game."

THE SAMOYEDS. A Monsolinii Have That Sometimes Renorta to Cannibalism. Samoyeds, a race of Mongolians inhabiting the shores of the arctic ocean, maintain themselves by hunting and fishing. They make use of the same implements in bone and stone, besides cherishing the same superstitions, as were current in the stone age among the inhabitants of western Europe. They clothe themselves in reindeer skins. In flue weather they wear the hair outside, and when it is wet the tunic is reversed. This interesting race is gradually dying out owing partly to the scourge of smallpox which makes ravages among them and also to their fondness for raw spirits, which leads them to degradation and misery, as the Russian merchants take advantage of this to cheat them when bartering for valuable skins and walrus teeth. In fact, to such an extent do these traders dupe them that the Samoyeds sometimes are reduced to a state of famine and have recourse to cannibalism. This seems to account for the name Samoyed, which was given them by the Russians and which signifies in their language self eating. Every year in mid-Lent these queer looking people travel down in their reindeer sledges from Archangel to St. Petersburg and take up their abode temporarily on the frozen river Neva, where they build themselves circular huts composed of a framework of poles, over which are stretched reindeer skins. Here they traffic for the products of civilization.

Stickem's corn cure. Bump's sure cure for hog cholera, Dover’s powders and two different prescriptions of unknown character. "We will be genuinely obliged for a long list of other things to take. "N. B.—We have also taken a fresh cold.” Gordon at Gettysburg-. Major Robert Stiles, author of "Four Years Under Marse Robert.” thus describes General Gordon at Gettysburg: "His face was radiant, his figure erect, mounted on a splendid ebony charger, with gleaming eyes and proud arched neck. The rider fairly stood in his stirrups and. bareheaded, waved both hands, while his sonorous voice rolled out such exhortations as only he knew how to make to soldiers. Thus they charged, with the great black charger joyful in the midst of the flashing muskets.” Bespoken. "No. thank you,” said Miss De Mure. "I don't care to meet any new young men.” “My!" exclaimed Miss Gaddle. “You are select all of a sudden!” “No." replied Miss De Mure glancing dreamily at her new ring. “I’ve merely been selected all of a sudden."— Philadelphia Press.
