PEOPLE'S FORUM (NOTE Articles under this head do not necessarily embody the views held by the management of The Journal-Gazette.) Kdltor Journal-Gazette: Those statements made in last Krlday evening's Journal Gazette by tho Illinois Central shopmen to the effect that the Hall family had lived in the Matthew property since the death of J. II.

Matthews, father of Levi MatthewB, are Incorrect. W'1 have been living there for four years and Mr. Matthews has not been dead a year. We virtually took care of Matthews as well us h.i wife before 1 In ir deaths. So far as the shopmen taking aro of Levi is (oncerned, Levi lias had very little help from tin: Miopmon since the All they know of him Is just as he hails them as he passes them.

Hut let sonu' of them come here and live, as we have, and thy would realize they knew him better than before. Whenever you take a stick and turn up tiie ashes ia the hearth of Levi's stove, it isn't just ashes that you turn up. When he comes to you and telli you he. Is hungry and hasn't anything to eat, and tells yon he hasn't any clean clothes, it would not look like the Illinois Central shopmen are taking care of him. Also he did not make his home with his slater In Decatur.

Ievl stayed there from Thursday until Saturday at one time and from Friday until Sunday another time. He "bummed his way" each time except tho' first trip to Decatur, and he alwaya told us they were so mean to him he could not stay there. Mrs. Ball could have done more for Levi than has been done-, but he did not even get thanks for taking care of his mother. Ills own sister would not come and stay with her mother.

Now, as to the shopmen golnc down around Paradise to find out anything about Ball, that is Just tho thing to do, as I grew up around there, and any one can tell you about Ball. And if there Is anything else you' wlah to know, Just ark Rail himself. THE BALL TENANTS OF THE MATTHEWS PROPERTY. 1 By The International Newe Service. Marlon, 0, Aug.
