CATO.

Times are assuming new, but normal conditions in Cato =. MT.
 Flack last week, sold his store house and contents to Mir. Butler Proctor of this place and Mir. Bur gen of Saitillo. These men will continue the business at the old stand under the firm of Proctor & Burgen. We wish tor them sue cessful business and a generous slice of the peoples patronage.
 Miss Elsie Flack returned home from Conway Sunday where she has been attending school Ar den Park and cousin Edgar Park of Saltillo visited relaties in Cato Sunday. .. Family "altar fires"
 have been burning brightly of late, and these "altars" are not forsa- ken and solitary as some altars are. MT. Flack had splendid success in selling his property pre- paratory to leave for the Indian Territory, having recently sold to Alfred Dawson 26 acres of land north of Cato and the Proctor house lately purchased, he dis posed of to Joe Hogan. Mir. Ho- gan will move his clerk, Ed Skinner, into this house in which he now resides will be torn down and moved by Will Springer, who has purchased it from MT. Hogan.
 We understand he house will be rebuilt on MT. Springer's land to be used by one of his tenants. Mir.
 Burgen is boarding at Mir. Proctor's s since their newly organized CO., partnership. MT. Burgen return- ed this week to Saltillo to visit his family and confer with same about
 moving to Cato. The late sleet and snow has occasioned some accidents here. C. I. McPhear- son as he attempted to mount his horse last week, slipped and fell against fence, seriously dlsloca- ting his shoulder and bruising same very badly. Fever sat in and late reports are that MT. Me Phearson is having serious sick ness as the results of his accident. Little Ira Springer, son of the wld- ow Mrs. Tom Springer, fell against a barbed wire fence, cutting a gash across his temple and one almost laid an upper lip open. Dr. Pair cite dressed the wounds and the little fellow is doing fine. ...J. A..
 Brown is holding down the post office, and incidentally smiling be- hind the counters of Proctor x Burgen. How much longer is old winter going to keep us in cold storage? Groundhog says 40 days. .Cato's harp and string band met Friday night at Jim Browns and entertained them with some fine music. Joe Me- Raven is serving the musical inter- est of some of our people and Cato certainly loves music as evidenced by the presence of some musical instrument i'll almost every home.

Stokes jackson of Greenfield, has
announced that he has withdrawn his
name from the list of candidates for

Of Jackson, friends of George B. Har-
ris of Fountain City say, means that
he will have a walkover in the race

Mr.. Harris has rendered most valu-
able services to his party and as dis
trict chairman he will be acceptable
to democrats all over the Sixth dis
trict
In return for stepping out of the
race for district chairman in favor of
Mr. Harris. democrats of this county
nave assured Mr.. Jackson that Wayne
county will give him its solid support
in his race for state chairman.
Sylvester J. Meek of Connersville,
who for some time past has been dis
trict chairman, has emerged from a
supposed retirement and to the sur
prise OF the democrats in Wayne
county has announced that he is again
candidate for the office. Wayne
county democrats are out after
Meek's scalp as they consider him I'M
qualified to hold the office.
John DePrez of Shelbyville is an
other candidate for the district chair
manship. but his chances of defeating
Harris are regarded as very slim. Be
sides Wayne county, Hancock county
has lined up solidly for Harris and it
is expected that within a short time
all the other counties in the district
will follow into line. assuring Harris
of a unanimous election at the dis
trict convention. which will be held at
Cambridge City next month.

TEACHERS Will
HAVE XMAS MONEY
PedagogueS Will Have a Merry
Christmas as Pay Was
Not Withheld.
PRECEDENT is BROKEN.
INDIANAPOLIS SCHOOL TEACH
ERS WILL RECEIVE PAY IN FULL
FOR FIRST TIME IN MANY
YEARS FRIDAY.

Local teachers in the public schools
were gratified to receive their salaries
for the month of December on last
the notorious Friday, the thirteenth
All of the teachers were paid in full to
the close Of the year. In this connec-
ton it Is interesting to local teachers
to know that in Richmond, there has
not existed system such as has been
in vogue in Indianapolis for many
years, whereby a portion of all the sal
aries Of theteachers, was withheld
from payment until the close Of the
year 1t has been the custom of the
school board OF the capital city to re-
serve payment of 20 per cent each
month of the salaries until the end of
the year, when the back pay was in
cluded with the last months salary.
This custom was used as a means Of
compelling all of the teachers to serve
out the entire year or else run the
chance of losing a portion of their sal
aries. The school board also found
an advantage in this method, as the
salaries thus retained made quite a
large sum which was placed out at i'll
terest. Thus the school board arbi-
trarily retained a portion of the sala-
ries of the teachers and derived the in
terest mourning therefrom. The In
dfanapOlis papers took up the cause of
the teachers on the matter and expos
ed the purpose Of such a custom and
consequently at the end of the present
current school month, which is next
Friday, all of the teachers of Indian
apolis, will for the first time in 70
cent years, receive their salaries in
full
