''most asinine'' that hs ever knew
The whole state ticket, he said, might

If neither Leon nor Decatur City can
put up pledge or guarantee that they
will build new court house, in case
the proposed election comes their way,
on account of the law against bribery,
is it wise for the voters of the county
to embroil the people in bitter county
seat fight hoping that Decatur City
would put up sufficient funds to build a
court house? If the county seat is
changed it is settled for five years, and
the taxpayers of the county will be
compelled to build a new court house,
as there must be some place to hold
court, some place for the county officers
to hold their Offices in, and more import
ant than all these, a safe place for the
records of the county. If you would
not jeopardize the title to your prop
erty by having the records in danger of
being destroyed, sign the remonstrancc
and let the county seat remain where
it is.-Garden Grove Express.

six on exhibition, and | visited
the room in which they were in
1operation number Of times,
watching the drop on all Of them

o'clock got into rig to make drive

when one of the horses began bucking,
and soon some of the harness broke,
the pole dropped to the ground and was

the rig; one horse ran to the barn and
the other one was headed toward Deca

Mysterious Fire.

An unaccountable fire was discover.
ed at the residence of Geo. W. Brown
on Church street at about IL o'clock
Saturday night. Ihe inmates had all
retired to bed, except Mr. Brown, who
had not returned home. About the
hour named, Glenn Heiser, who had
been attending the entertainment at
Loves hall that night, was on his
way home, and passing Summit street
in the rear of the Brown residence,
noticed blaze from the back porch.
He at once gave the alarm, and assist
ed in trying to eXtinguish the flames,
which had already gained consider
able headway. The file was discover
ed in the niche of time, and was put
out before it had communicated to
the main dwelling. One corner OF
the pantry was charred through from
floor to ceiling. 1t seems to have
started in box on the porch, in
which were kept some rubbers and
other things. The damage is not
over $50. A few seconds more the
fire would have obtained such foot
ing that much damage must have
resulted. The occupants are utterly
in the dark as to the origin of the
fire.
