We are proud of it, of course, proud that we can print I such an edition, and proud of the: business men who have the enter-1 prise to make such a paper possible i in a city of 5,000. The business men ' of Adams county are of the loyal and; true kind that build up a community. ( steadily and well. They carry large , and up-to-date stocks of goods and i they sell as low as they can. The people of this community owe their, business to the home merchant. These merchants help to pay the; tax; they go down in their pockets and help to secure industries that furnish employment for local laborers; they are a part of the coinmti nity and they desire to live and to make a profit; they stay here and nius tdo as they agree to. You take ; no chances when you trade at home, i In connection with this booster edition, we believe it proper to say a. word about the future. We have faith in Adams county and in Decatur. W< know there are no better places on j God's footstool. Surrounded by land , that sells for as high as 1200 per acre • r.nd on which the farmers make money even on that investment, the I towns, where these people trade ar* ' sure to prosper and they v ill. We believe next year will be the best ever known here. There are a number of deals on which almost i.r sure tliat fact and with a little loyalty on the p-rt of every citizen, the pec pie. individually and collectively wil’ prosper and be happy. Keep ar boosting. It can't hurt any and It' bound to help. Today's edition is oeing placed i" every house in this city, sent to hu> tired* over the county and over tb r ttate. We were assisted in the pub licatiuu by Mr. A. F. of Ch’ cage, a stirring newspaper man. a live wire, and at all times and unde all circumstance*. * thoroush genti mau.

As a precaution against being heard the man had cut off the legs of a suit of underwear and wrapped them around his shoes to deaden the sound of his walking. The articles had just been passed out of the back door to his confederate when Sam Franks, the night watchman, was seen approaching. The coUfedernte ducked down the cellarway and hid the suitcase behind some boxes until Franks lia<l disappeared then made a quick get away. Tl.o man on the inside, however, was not so lucky •.nd Imrely had time to get the door locked l>efore Franks tried it. Thinking that bi* confederate would give I tm the signal to get out when the coast was clear, he remained inside. Ray Venis happened to be passing the store about tliat time on Monroe street, and happening to glarce in the rear window, saw the fellow crawling long on the floor. He hastened to ’he Smith A Son restaurant and ■pread the alarm. W. P. Shrock was notified and quickly arrived on the scene. Accompanied by Flanks, the ■wo men entered the store and made a search for the burglar. He was finally discovered by Schrock hiding under an overcoat rack. Wil! covered him with his gun. ordered him to roll out. then tied hi* hands 1- hind his b*ca and carted him to jail. " hen interviewed this morning, th" prisoner -eemed very angry at his pali for leav•ng him and also seemed anxious tha' he officer* get him. to which end be ’ave them a very good description. The man will undoubtedly get a trip ever the road for this job. The escaped robber was either in too big a hurry to get away, or else was afraid to take the stolen goods a* »hey were found in the cellar where he had placed them. - STOCK SALE.
