Merrtman, who attended commissioners’ court at Decatur Monday, says that an order was entered by the board there for an issue of bonds for the payment of Adams county’s share of the cost of the county line road of nine miles. The contract already has been awarded and the road would have been built last summer but for the fact that the indebtedness in the adjoining townships in Adams county was above the limtt. The Wells county commissioners will also authorize a bond issue for this county’s share and the road will be built the coming summer. Each road will pay about $12,000. It is to be a macadam road. —Bluffton News. o When you pass the clothing store of Teeple, Brandyberry & Peterson, just glance into their show window and see the fine combination sets in leather cases.

Didn’t you see their advertisement in the Daily Democrat A well dressed young man of good appearance entered the clothing store of Teeple, Brandyberry & Peterson, where he bought his Christmas presents. He saw their advertisement in the Dally Democrat. FATHER WILKEN GIVES ADVICE. It is with some reluctance that I would like to give expressions to some ideas that I have about the welfare of our city of Decatur. I think we are all aware of the fact that our city is on the craw-fish walk, backwards, and that eighty houses are now unoccupied. The number of our citizens is decreasing. Why is this? Because our citizens have not the welfare of the city at heart, and must say, especially our business people. We used to have a Commercial club, which, indeed, was a standing comedy of the city. It claimed for its aim the growth of the city, and it seemed that the members thought the best way to attain that end was to buy outside of the city. Now that Christmas is at hand, will our business people again set the bad example, to buy their Christmas presents out of the city of Decatur, as they have done heretofore? For it has been the bad habit of our business people that all, what they did not have in their own store for Christmas presents, they would buy in Fort Wayne and other cities. When will they see that they cut off their own ears by this practice? Let the business people begin first with a good resolution to patronize home trade. REV. H. TIIEO. WILKEN. ———a ——— DELIGHTED WITH THE FLOWERS. Theodore Kennedy, who has been quite sick for many months, and is confined to his house constantly, was delighted this morning when he received a bunch of beautiful flowers, sent him by the Masons, and insists on thanking them for the favor, in this manner. WOODMEN ELECT OFFICERS. All Modern Woodmen are requested to attend the meeting this evening as the election of officers will come off at this time.
