" tpered at the pon'ortk's tn Decatur,' (nd’<’\<4, as sc-cnd sail. A bill has been introduced in the j Missouri legislature, providing a fine ' of three dollars for women who wear j dresses which button up the back, un- ' less the buttons be as large as a silver ; dollar. That fellow has evidently! been ’‘showed.” The Indiana legislature is half over and the record so far is the best ever made in the state. If they keep up the lick, pass the good bills and kill the bad ones, they can go home and look their constituents square in the face and ask for re-election. Wednesday of this week is a national holiday, in celebration of the birthday of the great emancipator, Abra-, ham Lincoln. The occasion should be * called to the attention of every school child and to every other citizen in tire land. The life of the rail-splitter furnishes many inspiring thoughts, l any one of which will lead us to sue-1 cess. Three weeks from tomorrow will mark the end of the Taft administration and the beginning of the Wilson and Marshall term. So far every act of Mr. Wilson has met the approval of ' every one, excepting the politicians, to whom the president-elect refuses to palaver. He has already established a feeling of confidence in the nation and he will finish with a record worth having. Take off your coat and help the firemen entertain the crowd that will be here on Thursday, June 86th. You know the first thing and the most important in doing something of this kind is to raise the money. That should, and do doubt will, be the very first job. When the boys start out meet them with a smile and a greeting that will cheer them. Don’t be grouchy. They are trying to do something that will help the city, and it will. Boost! The Democratic editorial convention held at Indianapolis was the usualy happy event. Three hundred attended the banquet and listened to eloquent addresses by Mrs. Wilson, Senators Kern and Shively, Governor Ralston and others. Frank Heimbaugh of Muncie served as toastmaster and it was one of the evenings that makes life worth while. At the business ses-| sion, Charles Arnold, one of the livest newspaper men in the state, was elected president and the coming year will be a good one for the association. The mid-summer meeting will be held ' at New Albany, with a day at Corydon, the first capital of the state. Surrounded by democratic office holders everywhere the democratic editois now enjoy these events.

Monroe, Ind., Feb. 10—(Special to Daily Democrat)— What might have been a serious accident was nothing more than a damaged automobile and a buggy reduced to kindling wood. William Maulier of Pleasant Millsand Miss Pearl Miller were returning from church at Honduras, and met an auto on a narrow bridge near the Jonathan Merryman home, and the smash came as a result. Dr. Parrish of Monroe was making a call to see a patient and had the right of way w hen all of a sudden the rig appeared on the bridge. The driver of the buggy was on the dirt road and to the auto driver it was same as driving a buggy to the middle of the road, in front of the machine. The accident curred about 10 p. m. Saturday evening. No one was hurt and the drivers of both parted, hoping such an accident would not occur again. - TRY IT! SAYS SAGE TEA DARKENS AND BEAUTIFIES FADED, GRAY HAIR. Mixed With Sulphur Makes Hair Soft and Luxuriant and Removes Dandruff. The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is coming in vogue again, says a well-known downtown druggist. It was our grandmother’s treatment and hundreds of women and men, too, are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color which is quite sensible, us we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product called “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," for about 50 cents a bottle. It is one of the most popu- ■ lar because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply dampen a soft , brush or sponge with "Wyeth's sage and Sulphur” and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at j a time. Do this tonight, and by morning the gray hair disappears and after another application it is restored to ’ its natural color. I| What delights the ladies with Wyi eth s Sage and Sulphur is that besides eautifully darkening the hair they ’ say it produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive; besides prevents dandruff; itsch scalp and falling hair. Here you gray-haired folks, get bu look t years youngor. The Holthouse Drug m-w-s

OBITUARY. s ’ i. Mary Ann Merriss was born at liar,r‘»burg. Pa., Jan. 4. 1828, In the year ! 1850 she was united in marriage wlttx Mr. B. Merriss. Four years later she came with her family to Van Wert, county, Ohio. She was one of the first pioneers of this county and with her ' husband had to endure al! of the hardships of idOfieer life. The hardships were soon to be increased, for her husband at the call of his country left I the plow to shoulder the gun. Now the care of the family and the farm rested most heavily on her. Encouraged and strengthened by her trust in Jesus, her Savior, she endured hardship with fortitude and cheerfulness. For some time she was a faithful number of the English Lutheran church, but later on when a Baptist church was built near her home she became a member there. It is said that she was a faithful, consistent Christian. After thj death of her hus- ' band some fifteen years ago, she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. John Jacob Meyers. Deep sorrow often came into her life, for there preceded her into the home beyond her husband, three sons and one daughter. Deeply grieved over her departure are her two daughters and one > son, a sister and a brother. Others to mourn her departure are 27 grandchHgren and 20 great-grandchildren, other relatives and many friends. After a siege of sickness with some suffer- , ing she passed hway on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 1, at fifteen minutes past three o'slock. The days of the years of her pilgrimage are 85 years and 27 days. . What pang on earth is there so great, As that which pierced so sore. When mother bowed her gentle head And was on earth no more. Though tribulations great they came. She bore tbe cross her Heaven to gain; Passed through the gates to endless joy, And lives to die no more. She is not dead, the one we mourn. In deep but chastened sorrow, Her spirit has but gone to dwell Where ours may be tomorrow. ( There cometh ever in our grief, -Amidst our sighs and weeping, 1 The blessed and consoling thought. She is not dead, but sleeping. GOOD-NIGHT. o- — IN MEMORIAM. Our brother, Dr. W. W. P. McMil- ' len has been called by our Heavenly Father from bis labor among us to I 1 a higher service.
