J. H. HELLER, Manager. ADAMS COUNTY OWES NO BONDED DEBT Adams county is free from the tangling alliance of bonded debt. They have set aside money sufficient to pay the last bond and interest owing by , the county, and which becomes due January 11, 1911. All this is pleasing to the citizens and taxpayers and demonstrates that business policies alone govern the action of the board of commissioners in the transaction of the financial affairs of the county. It is pleasing to the people to know that the public business of the county, is in reality business and not politics. They are only too glad to repose that confidence in her officials that comes in commending faithfulness in public life, and in this, the county commissioners are entitled to words of praise and commendation. They have well done their duty and the Democrat is glad to congratulate them and the county upon their record and upon the excellent standing of the county in the financial ■ world. Along with the clean financial slate Adams county’s public buildings tre in good condition and rank with the average in any county in the state. The court house, jail and county infirmary are all adequate and well arranged for their use, and in their present state will last the county for several years to come, and as much of this is due to good care, those in rharee and who have been in charge (

are entitled to share in the eulogies i I that are being paid to the pul'll' of fleers. Adams county is one of the [best counties in the state. Us soil is the most fertile and productive and , her citizens are the most enterprising and prosperous in the world. As predicted the Hon. Stokes Jackson was unanimously elected as chairman of the democratic state committee and for the next two years will head the organization in this state. This is as it should be. For the first time in many years and under the leadership of Mr. Jackson the democrats won their first notable victory and it was but right that he be chosen as the mascot for 1910. The meeting of the committee denoted harmony and it is a fact undisputed that tho democrats all over the state are more nearly of one mind than they have been for years. They propose l, o carry the state, the legislature, elect another United States senator and to do all the big things that is done in politics. It is the one year for all democrats to be democrats and then these accomplishments will be easy. SERVICES OF SONG Will be Held by Conference Quartet at Various Factories Tuesday.

WAS A LITTLE SLOW — First Horse Sale Dragged on Account of High Prices Prevailing. WILL GIVE ANOTHER Willing to Pay Top Prices But Not More Than Animals Can be Sold For. Buyers for the Decatur Horse Sale company started out this morning , bright and early to secure another bunch for Friday, January 21st. This company is one of the best for this community that has ever been located , here. They not only bring business | to Decatur, but they make a great market for the farmer in this section. The first sale held last Friday was not the success It should have been and this is explained by the fact that the company had to pay too much 1 money for the horses. “We are willing to pay the very highest price possible, but we cannot pay more than the foreign buyers we bring here from New York, Boston and Chicago will give,” said oneof the proprietors. The average at the sale Friday was $192.75. and this Is only an average price for a fairly good horse now. However, the company Is going to stick with r the job, and will try to continue their t sales through the season, and they will do it if the stock men will assist them by being reasonable. They will J pay you the top price and the people , of this locality have confidence enough in them to believe tney mean . it when they put a price on a horse. o— — A TRAVELING SALESMAN. H. F.
