The Jacob Denny boom for lieutenant governor continues to grow and he will probably lead all the candidates on the first ballot. He is canvassing the state and receiving the encourage ment in practically every district. Following the heavy winter, the streets look as though they needed a little sapolio or some other kind of grease. An effort to make them more presentable is being made, however, and they will be cleaned as soon as the frost ahd mud can be moved. The district convention of the Knights ot Pythias lodge will be held in this city tomorrow, when several hundred visitors will come to Decatur. They will find real hospitality here unexcelled any where in Indiana The K. of P. Home here attracts much attention, being one of the finest in the country, used exclusively for lodge work. The first day of March will be the busiest day ever known in Decatur in the real estate line. On that day more farms will change hands than usually do in many months. Some of the sales are on contracts that have passed through the hands of three or four owners A prosperous community is one where properties exchange often and by such a thermometer Adams county will lead them all this year. It is with much pleasure that the friends of Congressman Adair read of his continued success in the halls o, congress. At present he is acting as there were a law requiring all clothes to be made £rom pure woolens, the custom tailoring we deliver would be guaranteed free from traces of cotton, the same as it is now. Our famous Chicago tailors, ■Sc?. V. Price & Co. use only the puresl woolens obtainable and when we sene them your measure for a new suit you can "bank on it that fabric, style, fit, workmanship and price will satisfy you completely. Let us show you the evidence. THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPAQ

' speaker of the house, having been ap- ( pointed to serve ten days. When a member of such a body is selected by a man like Champ Clark for such an | honor it means something. The people of the Eighth district have long known j the good qualities of Mr. Adair and ' are more than pleased now that the rest of the country is to know them. s 0 The congressional convention for 8 the Eighth district will be held as near 0 to the date of the state convention as £ possible. This is on account of the 11 fact that Congressman Adair, now act- _ ing as speaker of the house, and who r * [is one of the leaders of congiess, _ wishes to take in these two meetings i- on one trip that he need not be absent e from his duties more than is absolutes 'ly necessary. A meeting of the coung ty chairmen will be held at Muncie s- j Friday of this week to fix the time j and place. ; THE DISTRICT MEET f _ e -.
