Democrats Hold Short Senate Session in Decatur
A Democratic senatorial convention in Decatur chose O. T. Atchison for representative and Judge Foy as a candidate with no opposition from Macon county delegates. The gathering elected H. McGrog as secretary, Dowdall as chair, and proceeded to name delegates from Macon Moultrie and Christian counties while pledging full support for Foy and Atchison. Deaths at Forsythe and Chicago were reported, along with a casualty from an excursion accident and several notices of passing in Decatur and nearby.

Tax exemption for church property upheld in quiz on use
Assistant Attorney General Nowell says religious property remains exempt if use for lectures and entertainments is temporary and does not impede worship. An assessor is not to tax church property merely because events with admission fees occur, and the use must be more than a permissive activity to forfeit exemption. The report also notes a large Madieon county Christian Endeavor picnic planned for Riverside park on June 25 with a 150-voice choir and a local committee organizing the event.
