CROMER’S UNCLE NATE You cannot lose George. He was boasting th e otner day that he controlled the district organization and named the district chairman and that h e controlled the congressional convention and nominated Uncle Nate. That he proposes to be in the limelight and in reality be the candidate for congress, is evident from the tone of the lette r he is sending o> to his friends in the district, and which is printed elsewhere. It is to be the same old Cromer fight over again. It is to be the fight for and against the Cromer machine, which has dominated the Republican party of the district for the last ten years, and which has disrupted party lines and corrupted the electorate In more ways than the human tongue can describe. It was generally supposed and freely predicted that after the fatal blow of the last congressional election, that George Washington Cromer and his distasteful methods wer e forever relegated to the political junk shop. But it is not so. He is again in th e forefront. He is the head, shoulders and front of the Republican campaign in this district, and will profit mor e by a victory than would "Uncle Nate” himself. The electorate this year will have the same contest to wage and the same leader to combat. The contest will decide as to whether the electorate will retrograde and again sell appointments for a price, or whether the people shall rule and merit and political decency triumph. It is fairly and squarely up to the voters of the Eighth congressional district. There is not a single hair's difference between Cromer’s candidacy two years ago and the candidacy of "Uncle Nate” this year. You cannot remove the stinlj of a skunk by changing its name. Cromer smells just as badly under the title of “Uncle Nate” as he smelt two years ago, when running for congress under his own name. It is all one and the same.

In the big cities many men are out of work The Democratc papers and politicians are using the fact as a text to preach aganst the tariff, which lias practically nothing to do with the cost of things on the market— Muncie Observer. Those naughty Democratic editors. How on earth do they have the heart to be such base deceivers. Congressman Adair was re-nomi-nated in the Eighth district at Union City Wednesday, by acclamation. He only missed two roll calls during the session which just closed, covering a period of six months. His predecessor only managed to answer two roll calls during the whole session, spending the time at home fixing things for re-nomination and re-election. Adair made a splendid record and will no doubt be returned to Washington. He Is one of the leading democrats of tire state. —Columbia City Post.

Ex-Congressman Cromer, after several weeks active work on the "home” farm in Salem township is back at his law office the same busy man. During his stay in the fields and woods Mr. Cromer made a “full hand,” and worked elbow to elbow with the other men. He brought back to town with him a tan color that will cost the average lake pleasure seeker hundreds of dollars to get. —Cromer's Muncie Observer, This is the first real work George has done since Uncle Nate was relieved of a very heavy roll. It is said the roll was so chesty that it took two rubber bands to hold it fast. George will from this on make a “full hand” in favor of his own Uncle Nate.

NEARLY COMPLETE Ward Fence Building is All Done but Construction of Floor MOVE FACTORY HERE The First of July—Lawrence Secures 4,000 Contract for Fencing

The long looked for tim e for the completion of the new home for the Ward Fence Co. is now at hand and with the exception of laying th efloor, the building is ready for occupancy. This, however, would have been completed had not a shipment of lumber received for the construction of same been soft instead of hard wood. The room which will contain the producers and engine is completed and it is th e opinion of interested parties that the machinery will be installed and the Decatur Ward Fence factory in operation before many July days pass into oblivion. A large volume of bus iness is being done by this concern,and Mr. Lawrence, the new special representative, is securing many orders. He has gone to Merdian, Mississippi, to close a contract for the sale of 4,000 feet of fencing. The facilities of the factory wil be greatly increased after removing the factory to this city, especially for manufacturing iron fencing and farm gates, as well as square mesh field fencing, a large and improved loom being now under course of construction. The G. R. & I. company have constructed a switch, which is laid the entire length of the factory and the company has already placed an order for the first supply of coal with which the producers will be operated.

HOW TO CURE SKIN DISEASES. Eczema, pimples, dandruff and itching skin diseases are of local origin and are caused by germs. In order to cure these diseases the germs and their poisons must be driven to the surface of the skin and destroyed. Salves and greasy lotions may give temporary relief, but they do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. A St. Louis chemist has discovered a clean vegetable liquid remedy that will draw the germs and their poisons to the surface of the skin and destroy them, leaving a nicie, clear, healthy skin. This remedy is known as Zemo, and by its many remarkable cures has attracted the attention of the leading scientists and skin specialists of this country and Europe. Zemo has been given the most cordial reception by the public of any similar remedy ever produced, and it is recognized as an honest medicine that makes honest cures. Zemo is for sale everywhere. You can obtain a trial package free by writing to the E. W. Rose Medicine Co., St. Louis, Missouri. Smith, Yager & Falk have secured the agency for Zemo in Decatur and will gladly show you proof of some of the wonderful cures made by this remarkable remedy.
