IT’S THE TRUTH So long as democrats keep up strife in their own ranks, it will be easy for the opposition to win their battles in nation, state and county and on down to the smallest city or township. The fighting spirit seems to have been so well cultivated in recent years in democratic circles that it ex. | tends to all parts of the country and breaks out whenever there is anything to be done. With such a state i of affairs existing it is next to useless to try to do anything. If the party expects to accomplish anything in the campaign next year it will have to ac. cept Bryan’s advice and forget the past. It must get together and go to work. It must be willing to proceed with the organization according to the rules laid down by the state leaders and when the committeemen are elected and the chairman is ; chosen these officers must be given the hearty support of the entire rank and file or they can accomplish little. It is up to the democrats to keep on playing into the hands of the opposition or to become sane on the matter of making a political fight.—Columbia City Post. DEMOCRAT WANT ADS.

Milo Elezy, Charles Philips, Curley Ellis, were at Willshire, last evening to attend the home talent play given by the young people of the Willshire high school. The play was given in benefit of the school library. One main feature of the evening was the drill which represented twenty-six different nations, this deserves much praise by the ones who were so favored. The opera house was crowded to its utmost capacity and the pupils cleared a neat little sum. o , Miss Midge Smih returned home last evening on the six o’clock car from Fort Wayne, where she was spending the day.

XMAS SATURDAY Big Crowd of Buyers Visited Decatur Stores Today. MERCHANTS ARE BUSY One of the Big Trading Days of the Year—Getting Ready for Santa Claus. It seemed today that every one in Adams county had waited until the last moment to do their holiday shopping. This was Christmas Saturday and the town was crowded with buyers all day long. Every fee.d stable in the city was crowded with rigs and those rigs left town this afternoon well filled with gifts of various kinds. The stores, especially those which handle notions, toys and candies, look this evening as though a Kansas cyclone had passed through and the beautifully arranged stocks have dwindled perceptibly since morning. The clothing, dry goods, hardware, shoe and other merchants also did a lively business today, rather making up for the lighter business for a week or two past. Monday and Tuesday also promises to be brisk for business. HERE’S GOOD ADVICE. O. . Woolever, one of the best known merchants of Le Raysville. N.

PARABLE OF THE TOBACCO SEED A Few Good Thoughts for Users of the Weed. Then shall the kingdom of Satan be likened to a grain of Tobacco seed, which, though exceedingly small, being cast into the ground, grew, and became a great plant, and spread its leaves, rank and broad, so that huge and vile worms formed a habitation thereon. And it came to pass in the course of time, that the sons of man looked upon it, and thought it beautiful to look upon and much to be desired to make lads look big and manly. So they put forth their hands and did chew thereof. And some it made sick and others to vomit most filthily. And it further came to pass that those who chewed it became weak and unmanly, and said: “We are enslaved and cannot cease from chewing it.” And the mouths of all that were enslaved became foul; and they were seized with a violent spitting; and they did spit, even in th° ladies’ parlors, and in the house of the Lord. And the saints of the Most High were greatly plagued thereby. And in the course of time it came also to pass that others snuffed it, and they were taken suddenly with fits, and they did sneeze with a great and mighty sneeze insomuch that their eyes w°re filled with tears and they did look exceedingly silly. And others cunningly wrought the leaves

into rolls, and did set fire to the one end thereof, and did suck vehemently at the other end thereof and did look very grave and calf-like; and the smoke of their torment ascended up like a fog. And the cultivation thereof became a great and mighty business in the earth; and the merchants waxed rich by the commerce thereof. And it came to pass that the professed saints of the Most High defiled themselves therewith; even the poor who could not buy shoes, nor bread, nor books for their little ones, spent their money for IL And the Lord
