We want every democrat to register on this day. Don't put it off until October; if you do, you may lose your vote.

We will need every democratic vote in Adams county to help carry the state. Don't be overconfident. Many victories have been lost by over-confidence Now is the time, and the only time to register. ; If you expect to do your threshing on next Friday go and register early. Get there at 6 o’clock in the morning. The board will be ready for you. The machine can't start till 8 or 9 o’clock and you can get back in plenty cf time. Remember that every vole counts one, and we will need every vote to carry the state. So don't forget, next Friday, September 6th. Make a little sacrifice for your liarty's sake. Youts for success, J. W. BOSSE, County Chairman. Woman’s suffrage lost in Ohio by an overwhelming majority, while all the other amendments, with the possible exception of the $50,000,000 good roads appropriation, have carried, including the initiative and referendum, the labor proposals, the liquor license, minimum wage laws, etc. The vete against the woman's suffrage was about two to one. Along with all our other duties, we should not overlook the fact that the insurance men promised us a reduction in the rates if we complied with their rules. We have done it and it’s now up to them to make good. Let’s have the new rate, and let it be as teasonable and fair as we are entitled to That’s ail we ask, but we certainly have the right to demand that. Tlie result of the Vermont election ?n indicative of the sweeping victory the democrats will win at the November election. In this rock-ribbed republican state they made a gain of several thousand votes, and with the Bull Moosers securing about onethird the republican vote, succeeded in throwing the election of a governor into the legislature. That body is republican and will elect Allen M. Fletcher, the regular republican noni-

The same gain over the country will elect Wilson end Mar- : shall by the largest vote every given any candidates, and the probabilities ( are that the gain for the democrats , in other states will be much larger, i Ihe Maine electic. comes next and 1 the democrats U. e hopeful of electing 1 the governor there, though the republican majority is large. Adams county will have a ten thousand dollar monument to show our ' respect to the veterans of the civil ‘ war. It will be located on the public square in this city and will add to the i beau'" Cf that already attractive spot. I The county council Tuesday evening appropriated SIO,OOO for the purpose and we want to congratulate them on I their action. They could scarcely do ' otherwise when the petition contained over 2,500 names, but the fact that I their action was unanimous shows that they are the right kind of progressive and patriotic citizens. The tax will not be felt, in fact the appropriation on bridges and other items was reduced to such an extent i . that this will not increase the tax in the least. We will have the monument and it will be a beautiful one, a credit to the community, and the •'boys in blue" will appreciate the spirit with which it was done. For this splendid achievement due credit should be given to that ’’always for Decatur,” hustling, public-spirited and generous-hearted young business man, French Quinn, to whose efforts are due largely this improvement. He originated the idea and helped to plan the work. To him and the members of the G. A. R. who circulated the petition is the credit due. It should always be a source of pride to them for it is worth much to know that we have done something.

The time and place of the next gathering was not set, but it is possible that the Ohio branches of the family will entertain the 1913 reunion.

The ladies gathered early in the afternoon and brought their sewing and baskets of good things with them. A social time over their sewing was spent until six o’clock when the picnic supper was spread. The next meeting will be held next Tuesday with Mrs. Dr. Coverdale, with Miss Nellie Blackburn leader.
