There are many attractive features to this proposition. They are attractive in any way you place them, as Decatur as a terminal di vision would add to the population, would mean the leaving of several thousand dollars monthly to employees, which would'[all find its way through the channels of trade. This means expansion in every way, and Decatur and Washington township can not afford to be pessimistic. The amount of the subsidy will come flowing back in’taxes by the endjof the third year, and as a business proposition on this basis, can not be even were there no ether attractions connected with Decatur as a railroad [town. But this is a very small item in the calculation. But those interested in the proposition must show their cel or s. They must spend time and energy in giving the advantages in detail of a favorable acceptance to the Clover Loaf officials. There are no favors in this game, and every . citizen should bo loyal and out- j spoken. State Line. James Filbe moved to W illshire | last Monday. James Mauley was at Decatur last Tuesday. W. W.

Armintie Belle Riter, daughter of Thomas J. and Sarah E. Ritter, was born October 24, 1883, and departed this life November 23, 1904, aged 21 years and 29 days. Mintie was converted and united with the U. B. church in 1900, being baptized July 28th of the same year. She thus early gave her heart to the Master, and became a willing woiker in His vineyard. Mintie will be wonderfully missed jby her church—no more shall we hear her voice in song, but while we mourn we also rejoice that she was prepared to go hence. She said to her pastor a few days before her departure, “All is well, I am trusting in Jesus." While her sickness was severe and protracted, she was always cheerful, never murmured not complained. She leaves to mourn a widowed mother, her aged grandparents and host of other relatives and friends, but she has gone to meet her father and little brother, who had proceeded her to the “better land. Yes, we mourn, but our mourning is mingled with joy, for we expect to meet Mintie in the sweet bye and bye, never more to part. a Oh! This is blest relief! Mv faint heart it cheers; It cools grief, And sweetens all my tears; These eyes shall our loved ones then, Nor shed a parting tear again. Funeral from Pleasant Mills U. B. church, conducted by Rev. L. W. Ryan."s Interment in the cemetery’near Dy.
