J. H. HELLER, Manager. Some people are suggesting that the date of Thanksgiving be changed to the fourth of March—this year,

anyway. The Democrat Is deeply interested in the local option election next Tuesday, to the extent that every voter in Adams county is familiar with the form of ballot and is conversant with the way to mark his ballot so that no mistake is made in voting his sentiments. If you are dry vote “yes," and if yo uare wet vote “no.” 'This is a short explanation and if you follow it no mistake will be made. Senator Powers, of DeKalb and Steuben, who achieved considerable notoriety on groundhog day by reading four lines of the worst doggerel ever conceived, has introduced a bill which provides for the establishment of saloons in towns, cities and townships which vote wet at county options. Why not? The republicans contend that if a county votes wet any township in the county can be remonstrated dry. Isn’t it as broad as it is long? —Columbia City Post.

Take Foley's Kidney Remedy as soon as you notice any irregularities, and avoid a serious malady. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. Q. C. R. Kluger, the jeweler, 1060 Virginia Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., writes: “I was so weak from kidney trouble that I could hardly walk a hundred feet. Four bottles of Foley’s Kidney Remedy cleared my complexion, cured my backache and the irregularities disapeared, and I can now attend to business every day, and recommend Foley’s Kidney Remedy to all sufferers, as it cured me after the doctors and other remedies had failed.” THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. o If you want to save money, see Teeple, Brandyberry & Peterson.

The Ladies' Aid Society of the Mt. Pleasant M. E. church will give an oyster supper at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Sheets on Monday evening, Feb. 22. An interesting program will be rendered during the evening. One of those pleasant events in the lives of those who stood by the flag during the civil war time, took place last night when the women of the W. R. C. invited the old soldiers of the G A. R. to meet with them and enjoy an evening of pleasure, and. to discuss any topic that might prove beneficial for the order. Several addresses oi interest were made. The banquet served by the W. R. C. was delicious, and abundant. Headed by Barney Kalver the congenial, a number of ladies went to Pleasant Mills last night in a bobsled to enjoy the hospitalities of a friend. Barney was detailed to do the driving but he was willing if he be permitted to ride in the rear, to hold the oysters and other delicacies that they would not be lost in the shuffle. As a fun maker Barney has few equals and no peers. He is one of those jovial, good natured fellows who are always in demand by the ladies, and suffice it to say he was not the least to be considered in the fun making side of last night's event. After arriving at their destination the members of the party passed the evening by social chat and the playing of those games which appeal only to the young folks, although by request we w’ill not divulge what games were indulged in. To say the least, a great time was had by all.

There will be no meeting of the Bachelor Maids or of the Thimble Club this week. A crowd of school children, of Miss Millers and. Mrs. Bailey’s rooms, en- . tertained themselves by taking a merry ride in a bobsled in the country i and through the city last night.

In presenting “A Cowboy's Girl,” , which is to be at the Bosse Opera House Friday, Feb. 19, it is with every confidence in its ability to please. The attraction has been before the public for five seasons and j during that time has toured the en- ] tire continent a number of times, 1 each season returning to larger at- ' tendance. The production this sea- . son is new throughout and the very ( finest that could possibly be secured. “A Cowboy’s Girl" is not a society drama, whose scenes are laid in the handsome drawing room of some millionaire’s palace, but a story of the ! Lone Star state, with its scenes laid under the bright canopy of heaven which stretches away in the dis- 1 tance as far as the eye can see, and 1 then rolls on unbroken to the utmost ends of the world. It is under this blue vaulted dome on the wild prairie that they raise such men as “A Cowboy’s Girl” tells about, men whose daring deeds and bravery in the face of almost certain death have caused the whole world to revere their names ! and memory. We have only to turn Ito the pages of history, there to see enrolled with the heroes, now part and gone, the names of Houston, Crockett, and the long list who per- , ished in The Alamo. It is of such ( ! men as these that “A Cowboy’s Girl” tells about, younger perhaps, but s bearing the same stamp of chivalry and heroism that their ancestors bore , when they first crossed the plains to wrestle from the Mexican and In- . dian, what is now the state of Texas.
