A pretty good record, and it must be remembered that Afiam; is one of the strongest democratic counties in the state.—Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. The proposition to take the temperance question out of politics is all right, but the trouble is going to be to do the ‘ taking out.” The truth U. the undertaking is a big one —too big to be handled by the present legislature. The republican* are not unmindful of the party advantage it will

afford them- if the democrats do or don’t. —Columbia City Post DIRECTORS CLOSE BANK. Benton (III.) Concern Embarrassed by Act of Former President Benton, HL, Feb. 10 —The Coal Beit I National bank, of Benton, has been! closed by order of the directors, and George C. Ball ha* been appointed receiver. The bank * embarrassment is said to date from the defalcation a few years ago of R. A. Youngblood, • farmer president of the bank, who is now serving a term in prison. It i* stated that the other local bank*, the First National and the Benton State bank, have arranged to take over the asset* of the Coal Belt National bank. o— It will bring rich, red blood, firm, flesh, and muscle.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF TEXAS'? YOU HAVE BEEN THINKING OF IT-EVERY-BODY HAS. All the world is wondering at the 4,000,000 bales of cotton Texas grew in 1908; at the 175,000,000 bushels of com: 2,500,000 bushels of potatoes; 7.000,000 head of cattle, and 2,000,000 of hogs. Do you realize that Texas land, which northern immigration and bumper crops are doubling and trebling in value every season, offers the best and safest investment in the wcrld today? You saw the land of our state, Ohio and Illinois advance in value from 110 per acre to as high as 5200 per acre; you saw the land of lowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma advance to 1100 per acre. Did you take advantage of it? Do you know that Texas land is going to this price and more? VERY MUCH MORE? In Texas, and only In Texas, can be grown every known product that is produced In the great state of Californit today. For productiveness, perpetual growing weather, constancy of climate, and certainty of crops, there is no state in the Union which compares with the state of Texas excepting California. The whole United States and aS the rworld outside is a market for her products, which possess a richness that stamps them at once as the output of Texas soil. California land is today selling up to 52,060 per acre. Doesn’t it stand to reason that Texas land, which has every advantage—soil, climate, weather, everything that is boasted of in California —besides being 1,500 miles nearer the markets, and a three to

six weeks earner season, must reach this price, and more, within a very few years? All that is needed to rr ake the wonderful Gulf Coast country of Texas the garden spot of the world is the tiller of the soil, and at the present rate of development and increase in population, every acre of land in the United States will be under cultivation In a few years, and the man who has had no land will bow in submission to the man who has. Think This Over, Please Then pack your grip and arrange to go with me to see for yourself this fine land on my excursion of Tuesday, February 16th. You will have a good time, and it will mean dollars in your pocket if you buy. The price is S2O to $25 per acre for this excursion only, and I GUARANTEE THAT YOU CANNOT DUPLICATE IT AT THAT PRICE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. I own all the land that I sell, saving middle men's and agents’ profits and I give my purchasers the benefit of this advantage. This particular tract of land Is selling rapidly, and 1 want you to get some of it before it is gone, for I am very sure that I will never again be able to offer you as good and as well located land as this is at its p-esent price. Decide NOW to go on this next trip, tomorrow may never come and each trip you miss is a lost opportunity. S. E Hadsell, Owner. Fort Wayne, Indiana. For rates, time of leaving and all other informal! >n, you may write ms personally, or address or call upon my local kepresentatlve. Mr. Wm. Hartings, who has been on the land and can give you full information. Don’t Forget the Date

HIGH-O-ME . That’s the Way to Pronounce Hyomei, the Money-Back Catarrh Cure j As doubt exists in the minds of ‘ many readers of the Democrat let us say that the above is the proper pro- • nunciation of America's most wonderful catarrh cure. Holthouse Drug Co. is the agent for Hyomei in Decatur, and they will sell you an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei. and full instructions for use, for only 51.00. And if it fails to cure acute or chronic catarrh, asthma, bronchitis, croup, hay fever or coughs and colds, he will give you your money back. The person who suffers from catarrh after such an offer as that, must like ’ to snuffle, spit and wheeze, and be i generally disgusting. , Read what Mr. Lowe, a respected ■ citizen of Allegan, Mich., says of Hyot mei: t “I have used HyOmei for a case of s nasal catarrh had bothered me , for a long time. I can say that Hyo- - mei killed the gerrps of the disease ’. and gave me the much sought and I needed relief. From this experience i I know Hyomei to be a reliable remi edy, and I give it the praise and rect ommendation that it deserves.”—G. F. ’. Lowe, R. F. D. No. 7, Allegan, Mich., > September 19, 1908.
