DECATUR NOTES
DR.. T. C. BUXTON
Candidate For Reelection To
The Legislature

DR.. Buxton favors the uniform
text book for the Schools, a very
good law, which should be enact
ed. He also favors letting the au-
tomobile tax money of each coun-
ty go into the treasury of the
county, and apply to the good
roads of the counties as they so
dictate-a very good idea.
DR.. Buxton has proven to be a
good legislator and we recommend
him to the voters of Decatur, Lin
coin and the 2Sth District. He
should be elected. He is alright
and will not allow any bills that
are discriminatory, to be put over
on him.
A special rally is being arranged
and carried out by Rev. jackson.
E. Davidson has resumed his
restaurant and lunch business at
l08 Franklin St, where he is pre-
pared to serve short orders and
meals in home cooked style. He
invites all travellers. Headquarters
for workingmen.
Yates walked up Decatur Poll
tically last Saturday.
Mesdames Love and Pearson,
have their rooming house in a
splendid condition.
One thing good about Decatur is
Tor several things are:l 1t is classy
Everything is par excellent.
Look at her beautiful, mammouth
buildings; the Orlando Hotel and
the Powers building; the Milliken
o., the D.H.S., the Milliken Bank
Building. Behold their classl
Even the girls of Decatur are
classy.
Nickens' grocery is classy. He is
making steady improvements and
the store is neat; the stock is clean
and complete.
Mrs G. S. Kemp has returned
from trip to NC, her former
home, where she went to visit her
sick niece.
"Radler'', who got shot, looks
better than ever before, so they
declare. The loss of some of that
bad blood" was remedial, maybe.
Mr. H.R Rosemon has purchased
the restaurant formerly run by Mr.
Lawrence, 224 w. Main ST., and
converted the place into first
class cafe up-to-date in every de-
sirable way clean, neat and invit-
ing. He has first class chef, Mr.
Clay, and will give the people first
class meals and service. Home
made pastries are drawing the
people. When in Decatur visit the
Cafe.
DR. Ellis is doing first rate.
Presiding Elder Jameson preach
ed his first sermon, under his new
charge, at st Peters last Sunday.

SPRINGFIELD CONSOLIDATED RY.
COMPANY AND THE GENERATOR
PROPOSITION


PROPOSITION
Now, this question of the Utili-
ties Co. VS. the City Generator, has
become quite a topic; it has be-
come, to some extent, a question
of special concern. The colored
people are as much concerned as
any other group of persons, but
they are not going to be fooled or
deceived. What every one wants is
cheaper products, but they do not
want to be fooled into a trap. 1t
has been shown plainly that it is
not possible for the City to give it
claims it can do at this time, while
our City is overwhelmed in debt
without raising the taxes on your
furniture, your dog, real estate
and everything you possess and do
not possess. You all know that
our taxes are higher each succeed
year and yet there is no public
improvements to amply Justify the
proportionate increase. So the best
thing to do at this time, in our
humble judgment, is to not burden
the city with any more debts until
the city shall have gotten better
Strengthened out with her financial
affairs and can pay some of her
old debts, improve her public
streets like Decatur and Blooming
ton and build that municipal hall
for which the people voted several
years ago.
THE RECORD OF THE UTILITIES co
II years ago, we had no street
car facilities worthy of the Capt.
tol City; our electric and gas ac-
comodations were poor but what
is the case nowl There is not a
city, out side of Chicago, with
more st. Railway mileage, nor
better system, touching all parts
of the city. In many cities the
poor people have no street car ac-
comodations; here the cars have
been extended, under the Utilities
Co. and distributed as well in one
section of the city as in the other.
The city is obligated to the Street
Car Go. for more Improvements
than any other corporation. Look
at the employment they give to
this city; see the people whose
bread is won by the existence of
this Co. At every State Fair this
Co. uses every resource to help
Springfield retain the Fair and no
city in the world gives better serv-
ice. They spare neither time nor
money, to make everything con-
venient and to prevent accidents
and injuries.
Colored people have good jobs
with this Co.. year in and year
out and draw as good, if not bet
ter, salaries than any other class
of laborers in the city. This Co.
is not greedy-of course the Co.
makes money, if they did not they
would go into the hands of receiv-
ers and thousands of persons would
be thrown out of work. SO the
best thing to do is stick with the
gas Co. and vote No on the pro-
position.
Mr.. Mackie, the. manager of
this local Co., is a Springfield
young man and very fine man;
true friend to the Colered people
and have always proven himself
to be when the opportunity pre-
sented itself, before and since his
connections with the Springfield
Consolidated Rail FAY Co.
This Co. is absolutely fair when
personal injuries occur whenever
the fault is shown to lie with the
Co. and many times when it is not
evident, they are ready to do the
right thing. So don't be fooled,
vote No.

An effort is being made to secure
the attendance Of Iowa's two senator's
eleven congressman, governor, and the
two leading candidates for governor.
Already some of these have signlhed
their intention to be here, and only the
uncertainty Of the adjournment of con-
gress is holding back sev eral more &C
ceptances.
Besides the stellar attractions for
statesmen day, the committee also has
acceptances from we'll known speakers
for farm day. The predictions made for
the community congress that it will be
something different" from the old
stereotyped chautauqua will undouot-
edly be made good.

WARNS AGAINST FAIR GAMBLING
Secretary Corey Sends Out Notices to
County Fair Manaqers,

I Des Moines. July IA. r. Corey,
secretary Of the state board of agri-
culture. yesterday sent to all county
fair managers letters warning them TO
bar gambling devices from the 1915
county fairs, if they expect to make a
claim for state aid The legislature
provided an appropriation by which
the county fairs may draw a maxi
mum OF $500 state aid per year
The state secretary called attention
20 the fact that in 1915 two county
fairs lost their state aid because they
permitted games of chance on the fair
grounds. Many of the county sec
retaries have written to the state ask
Ing whether certain devices to in
crease receipts were gambling Mr.
Corey quotes the following from the
attorney general defining gambling
devices.

ward energy and you reward industry,
