Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. Four more macadam roads have been contracted for in this county. By the way, do you realize that we have the greatest pikes in the world right here in Indiana? It is possible that no county in Indiana is traversed more by auto parties than is Adams. Everybody who drives a machine has heard of our many miles of stone roads, that reach out before them, in an almost endless line, as smooth as a floor and good to traverse in bad weather or fair, and these splendid roads are likewise enjoyed by the drivers of rigs. While the macadam roads have been rather expensive, they are nice to have, will last many years, and we would not go back to the old mud roads for twice the amount Sopie action will probably be taken by the city council tonight, advancing the movement for a fire department in the city. This, as we have stated on numerous occasions, is a most important matter and should not be permitted to lose interest. The business men have announced their willingness to help, and it's the time to act. The city council will tonight select a new member of the school board to succeed A. H. Sellemeyer, who has served with credit for three years past. There are several candidates hi the field and more or less wire pulling has been going on. It is an important position and though the salary is small is one aspired to by the town’s best men. Growing weather just now is causing the fields of Adams county to spring up in rich crops of wheat, hay, corn and oats. There is plenty of fruit and everybody should be happy. While other parts of the country may fear hard times, this section continues prosperous. It’s a great land in which to live. The automobile factory is now employing about fifty men with a pay roll of nearly one thousand dollars per week. Such an institution helps any community and this is only one of a dozen. Mrs. F. Marti; St. Joe, Mich., says . "Our little boy contracted a severe bronchial trouble and as the doctor’s medicine did not cure him, I gave him Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound in which I have great faith. It cured the cough as well as the choking and gagging spells, and he got well in a short time. Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound has many times saved us much trouble and we are never without it in the house.” The Holthouse Drug Co. MONEY TO LOAN. Plenty of money to loan on farm* at 5 per cent.

The announcement of the coming wedding came at the' luncheon hour. Fastened with pale blue ribbons to the straws served in * the lemonade glasses, were cards j .bearing the announcement. In two of the corners of the cards were hearts in which were written the initials of the nuptial parties—-“A .M. V.” and “F. W. B.’’ and on the card was the following unique and significant verse: “Today may bring gladness, Tomorrow may bring sorrow,

The interurba trolley is the newest high-speed tool of business. Car rier of freight as well as passengers, it has worked revolutionary changes In methods of trading and distribu tion wherever it has reached its great est expansion and developed its high est commercial efficiency. Its social side has so impressed the popular imagination that less account has been taken of the intelurban as a tremendous twentieth century engine of trade. The towering sixty-foot cars which roar down village streets and dwarf the equipment of urban lines, the leflv fares, the frequent stations, the hourly service for local traffic, the Pullman built Timiteds” which rush from city to city, all focus attention on the interurban's facilities for handling people rather than goods. To the wholesalers and retailers who have learned how to use the trolleys, however, the drab freight vans which trail the passenger cars by day or scurry about their tasks when tracks are clear at night have become the most important, the indispensable cogs in the machinery of buying and selling. They give improved service for getting merchandise to dealers, on the one hand, just as the passenger trains offer improved mediums for bringing customers to the goods on the other. Many wholesalers and more retailers' have already readjusted their business to the new conditions the interurban roads have brought. They are employing this new transportation to double the dollar-power of their sapital and credit, to increase sales and profits, to reduce losses, to do a bigger, better, safer business. | o IN THE WAKE OF THE MEASLES. The little son of Mrs. O. B. Palmer. Little Rock, Ark., had the measles. The result was a severe cought, which grew worse, and he could not sleep. She says: “One bottle of Foley s Honey and Tar Compound completely cured him and he has never been bothered since. ”. Croup, whooping cough, measles cough all yield to Foley s Honey and Tar Compound.
