After the consolidation the rural routes were moved from New Decatur to Decatur. It is not known whether these routes will go back to New Decatur or not
 Since the consolidation William A. Warner has been appointed postmaster of New Decatur three times, and when the office goes back into the second class another appointment will have to be made. The case is one of the most pe- culiar on record. New Decatur people lad begun to think that they would never get a postoffice again, as MT. War ner's commission was delayed so long.
 Decatur is figuring on building an cleo tric light plant of her own, by the is suance of something like s5O,000 In bonds for the purpose The city is paying s2125O q month, or $2550 year for lights. It is figured that this, together with the in- come for private lights, fans and other power would be good interest on tho money.

Ne7vs of Ensley

Housebreakers were abroad in Ensley Saturday night but were frightened away before they could obtain any valuables. The residence of Newton Levoe was en- tered, but a daughter of Mr Levoe was awake and heard the burglar. She aroused her brothers, but the thief fled at her cries. Nothing was missed at the place. It is thought by some that the burglars who have been operating around Palmer for the past two weeks are the same ones who visited the Levoe resi- dence.
 Mary King. colored, was arrested by the Ensley officers late Saturday night Several negroes in an automobile had been joy riding on the streets Saturday evening and the King woman was in the machine.

Norfolk June 18th. Arriving New
York at 800 p. m, June 18th, the
party will be quartered at the Hotel

West Point is located on high bluff,
, overlooking the Hudson River, about

Government has spent countless mil
lions in making the military academy
the most attractive war school, in
the world
1t is needless to elaborate upon the

Five days in New York will be
hardly long enough to see the won

Diaz Will Not Resign Under Present
Conditions.

Mexico City, May 12.-General
Diaz will not leave the presidency
while the country is in lisp resent
state of unrest, it was asserted to-
night by Finance Minister Jose Yves
Limantour. He also said that Diaz
stood ready to state in more explicit
terms than those contained in his re-
cent manifesto, if necessary, his atti-
tude with reference to his retirement.
The. president, he said, had demand
ed to know from his opponents the
terms in which they expect him to an
nounce his willingness to resign and
is waiting reply from them.
The presidents declaration of last
Sunday was made in good faith and
with the desire to serve the interests
of his country, Mr.. Limantour said.
There was no subterfuge in his decla-
ration. He meant what he said,
namely: That he would lay down the
reins Of government when he could
do so without danger that anarchy or
chaos might follow his action.

Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, May 1G,-
This little bullet-risdled city tonight
Is the provisional capital of Mexico
and Francisco I. Madero. Jr., pro-
visional president. and his staff have
taken possession after winning the
bloodiest battle OF the Mexican revo-
luton.
In a corner room of the barracks
in which for two days he held out
against the fire of the rebels, sits
General Juan J. Navarro, the federal
commander, a captive, having surren-
dered to-day with almost his entire
garrison of several hundred men.
His face is sunken, his head is bow
ed, and he does not talk, for the bit
ter sting of defeat has disheartened
him.
In contrast, in another part of the
town, is Francisco |. Madero, Jr, the
conqueror, surrounded by members
of his family and his staff, joyous
exultant and flushed with victory
yet ready, he says, to make peace
with the Mexican Government if it is
disposed TO deal frankly and sincere
ly with the revolutionists, and with
out such vague promises as "Presi-
dent Diaz's manifesto contains
In hotel Hobbies, store fronts and
Railways, the improvised hospitals OF
the battlefields, are scores Of wound
ed, attended by host of physicians
and nurses from Ell Paso, who have
volunteered aid. The floors of the
Porfirio Diaz Hotel, where thirty
wounded lay tonight, are crowded
with blood and gore-soaked clothing
The actual surrender of the town
by General Navarro took place about
one o'clock, General Navarro giving
his sword to Colonel Garibaldi, of the
insurrecto army, after the rebels ha6
completely surrounded the barracks
and threatened to annihilate the gar
rison within.
