Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mai’. Hon. Samuel M. Ralston, democratic nominee for governor, was given a splendid reception when he reached his home Friday. The entire community greeted him as a neighbor and friend who had achieved the greatest honor possible and the affair was no doubt as Mr. Ralston said, “the happiest in his life.” So Adams county is for Taft, so far as the republicans are concerned. Well, who would have thought it, when B. W. Sholty and others of much experience have announced that nine-ty-five out of every one hundred were for Teddy, is it possible that some one owns a road-roller right here in our own little county? The vote of Indiana delegates to the national convention will favor President Taft, although it is generally known that from sixty to seventy-five per cent of the people favor Roosevelt, and still the Indianapolis News, as much responsible for this condition as any one agency, working hand in hand with Joe Keaiing, Harry Wallace and others who have Tom Taggart backed off the boards as roller politicians, has the nerve to brag about a machine ticket, for the democrats. What the News can't run. it tries to ruin, but they have, to a great extent, lost the '•’fluence which they once used to , rood advantage. The Eighth district democratic congressional convention will be held at Winchester next Tuesday, and a large delegation of the Adams county faithful will attend. At that time, the Hon. J. A. M. Adair will be renominated for his fourth term in congress, a fact that will please a majority of the voters of the Eighth district. His record stands for honesty of conviction and attention to duty. Hon. Samuel M. Ralston, democratic nominee for governor; Lew Ellingham, secretary of state: Bernard Korbly, state chairman, and other prominent democrats will be present. Let's go down to Randolph The renomination of the present democratic state officers was a deserved recognition of the splendid services

p 'that they have rendered to the people =1 of Indiana since their election in 1910. lit was not until after that election thst the business affairs of the state govy eminent came entirely under demo- ; cratic legislature and administrative control. Since that time the tax levy ‘" has been reduced: appropriations have [been eut down more than fifteen hung hired thousand dollars; new benevq olent institutions Lave been equipped ! B and maintained; money has been set j aside to pay on the state debt for the j first time in six years; state coliseum I - bonds guaranteed by a preceding legislature have bees paid; an enormous I =■: treasury deficit, left as a legacy by j ’ prior republican administrations, has - been materially reduced, and soon will ■(be overcome by the same efficient rand economic effort that has so dis I tlnctly marked the work of the pres- • ent democratic state officials. What I is said above does not set out all the good that has been accomplished by i the democrats —not by a good deal — but it shows that Indiana has at last a genuine business administration. OBITUARY. ■ John Durbin, son of Henry and Nancy (Stopher) Durbin was born in Knox county, Ohio, March 9, 1836, he being one of a family of ten children. Mr. Durbin departed this life in Adams county, Indiana, March 12, 191.’. aged 76 years and 2 days. He came Ito Indiana with his parents in 1811,1 (being a mere boy. They settled in! Monroe tow nship, Adams cou”*;-, | where he lived ever since, excepting j two years he lived in St. Mary's township. “Uncle John,” as he was most-; i ly called by those who knew him, saw and helped to make this country from a timbered land of wildnerness to its present land of homes and cultivatled farms. He knew some hardships of his early days that we of today ; know nothing about. On September [l2, 1861, he was united in marriage ito Miss Hannah Jane Head. To this | [union were born thirteen children —Sj boys and 5 girls: Samuel, John H., i Joseph, Robert and Rhodaellen of North Dakota. Samuel, John and Anna” .being present; Will. Nancy and Cora, | Washington township; Ida, St. Mary’s Ltownship; Danie', George and Emma. at home; Bennie Franklin, having preceded him to the better world. He leaves besides his children to mourn their loss a wife, three sisters, Mrs. i Sarah Everhart, Mrs Marriar Lhajmon, Miss Elizabeth Keller; one 'brother, Ambrose Durbin; thirty : grandchildren and a host of other . ' friends. He was converted at the (Valley church about nine years ago. : Whenever his health permitted he always attended church and was one 1 ' among the first at every opportunity i to stand and testify for Jesus, sometimes in songs and praises to God. (Through his long illness of nearly six [months he bore his sufferings of the ' disease which sapped out his life with I such patience that no one only they that so diligently cared for him unI derstand. He was a true husband, a kind, affectionate father and a blessing to those who knew him. Tie left ■evidence that he was trusting in the strong arm of Jesus, and was ready to go to possess the mansion which ’lthe Savior said, "1 go to prepare for you that where I am you may be also. | The funeral services were held at | | Pleasant Valley Friends’ church, con- [ ducted by J. H. Hollingsworth of | | Lynn, Ind., a former pastor of the ‘ [church. Interment was made at [ (Spring Hill cemetery, better known as the Backenston grave yard. Grandma Durbin and family wishes in this day to thank their many friends for the manner in which they assisted during the illness and death of Grandpa Durbin. HANNAH DURBIN. i Mrs. J. T. Vail arrived home last ovJ ening from Cardwell. Mo., and was accompanied by her father and mother. I |Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Hailing, and by Mis. Ed Peery and children.
