CREATED A SENSATION.

The card in the center of this advertise is a sac-simile of the ones mailed to the ads of families on all the rural routes leadout of this city, Berne, Pleasant Mills, [ 3 nroe, Magley and Curryville. Owing to an agreement of the Merchant’s ssociation of Decatur, not to do any premium dvartising for a period of 5 years we have er eed to call this off after April 6, 1906.
