May 9th will be an important day in Adams county, for on that day occurs the first registration of legally ters ever held here. It is ■ v manxA eC

had, if you don't do it, Semembei you have two duties on that day. First, to register your own vote and aid in getting in the other; second, to see that no one who has not the legal right to vote, is permitted to I register. There is work in Decatur f. every man who seeks it. Os course we don’t mean by that that you can se-1 cure a place as cashier in a bank, or the management of some business, for those jobs come only after they have I oeen earned, but you can get work of some kind, and did you ever notice j that it is always easier to improve your condition when you have a job, than when you are out of one. Take I a job, young man, and, then take al better one when you can get it, but bang on to that first one, like a bull dog to a piece of beefsteak, until you get one that improves your condition, i For several years we have been ask- ■ ed to boost a “Home-coming,’’ of Adams county people, who are scattered ■ all over the land and we have done | it, perhaps too mildly. This would be i a splendid year for such an event,' When the beet factory opened at Paulding three years ago, the celebration they gave was the greatest in the history of that section of the state. This feature would attract a great crowd '“re, and added to this an in- ‘ vitation to all the old residents to "Come back' and visit with us. would make it a week that would go down in history. Such events help a comwould bn 3. good week tor trade in Decatur, and this part could be sea- 1 called soon to the plans. It’s■ a big thing, and should be started ' “in the years 1905. 1906 and ing fund tax levy.

the subject of state finances in its effort to cover up republican respoi.- ' sibility for the bankrupt condition in | i which the state was left when that | . party was pu r out of power. In the ■ statement quoted an attempt is made I to deceive the tax payer. There was no sinking fund tax levied in 190u,' 1 19<*6 and 1907 - not under that name. I The entire tax, how ever, being three , I cents >n the SIOO, was added to the general fund tax in all those years, I thus increasing that tax from nine I cents to twelve cents, and every cent of it was used "in paying general ex-1 penses.’’ During the three years mentioned and also in 1908, the state rate I was higher than was ever known be-' fore. When the democrats came >nto | power the rate was reduced, and the I sinking fund tax though cut in half, ■ was restored to its proper purpose. COURTHOUSE NEWS
