GROWING! GROWING! GROWING!

That is the record of "Graham's Busy Store What's the reason? This! Our spring merchandise was bought early and so well bought they are worth more to-day than we paid for theml Nevertheless we would rather count cash and customers than merchandise, consequently we are giving customers the benefit of our foresight and doing what other stores can't do, because this busy store buys cheaper, sells more goods, and makes less profit on each sale on account of our small, expense than any store in CrawfordBville. Do your spring buying at the store that is out of the high price district.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES. CLOSE TO DEATH.

Quite a Llttln Fight Centered in the Contents in Union Township.

The Democrats of Montgomery county Wednesday held their primary conventions to elect delegates to the Btate, congressional, joint senatorial, sint representative and county conventions. As so mauy delegates are to be choBen ail at once, it was a mighty poor sort of a chap who didn't have his natno on some slate, for there were contests for all the delegations except the joint representative. Chairman Benjamin called the Union township convention to order aud was liim-

Belf madt permanent chairman with S. M. ColTcnan secretary. Inspector*, judges and clerks were appointod It was agreed that the delegates elected should appoint their own alternates, and the balloting commenced. The fijfht WRS for state, congressional and joint senatorial delegates. The "regular" tickets were headed by the immortal rooster and were as follows: .TOINT^ltKPREfJtNT'&TIVK

What the "regulars" called the "knockers' tickets wore as follows and it was understood that the joint senatorial delegates would "spot" the candidacy of W. H. .Johnston:

The fight was a hard one in Union township, the interest centering in the joint senatorial delegates and it now looks as though David HoBtetter, of Putnam county, would be the nominee. In Union township the ticket favoring the candidacy of W. Johnston was elee'ed after a hard fight by a vote of 139 to 103 The "regular" tickets for the state and congressional conventions also went through. In the out townships, however, the Putnam county people were

more successful and claim seventeen delegates, The Johnston supporters concede them twelve, twice the number needed to throw the nomination to Putnam. Frank Ader, who made the fight here for a Putnam county candidate, is in the soup. He beat Johnston but he did no good for himself. The delegates Irom this county opposed to Johnston, will, almost to a man, support Hoatetten lav Brown township the three delegates were instructed for Hostetter, and in Clark two of MB warm parsonal friends were elected. The Johnston ticket won in Walnut and Sugar, but in all the other townships it was defeated in whole or in pari. There was no scramble for the county delegates, candidates being out for only two or three of the offices. As it now looks the Democratic ticket will be about as follows: W. W. WaBhburn for representative, Clyde Jones for prosecutor, Ira Snyder for sheriff, B. T. Merrill for treasurer, Will Goodbar for clerk, Foster Fletcher for commissioner, middle district. The other offices are as yet going begging.

Howard Onunlngtiain 8»vr» The Charley Hritron—lai|(«r In Oil Tank

There came very nearly being a fatal accident Wednesday afternoon at the tanks of the standard oil compauy near the Junction. The manager had let Charley Brjtton down into one of the big gasoline tanks to clean it out, a rope being tied under Britton's arms. The deadly gasoline fumes in the dirty tank caused liritton to collapse almost as soon as he entered the tank and he fell fainting on the bottom The manager seeing his condition attempted to pull him out but was unable to do so Ha called 'or help and Howard Cunningham, who happened near by, came rushing up and with diffi :ulty the unconscious raan was dragged from his awful position. He was with difficulty resuscitated. Had Cunningham, who by the way is in the employ of the rival company, been a few seconds later, Britton would have died miserably.

Kxcltement at the Crawford Hon«e. Wednesday at two o'clock a. m- at the Crawford House there was a lively time not down on the programme. An overheated range in the kitchen Bet fire to the floor and a big smoke rolled up. The blaze was quickly discovered and promptly extinguished without damage, but there was no end of excitement. An alarm of fire was turned in and some freak got out in the balls and yelled fire. The house was simply packed with guests and mauy of them came running down stairs but half clad. The thing was soon over but it was interesting while it lasted.

Judge Lewis, of Covington, was probably the most excited man in the house. He was rooming with Jim Allen, aud when the alarm sounded lie leaped from bed, dressed himself in Allen's clothes, tucked his JWD duds under his arm and ran out in the Btreet. Qe was finally caught and induced to return.
