Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter, Cupid held full sway in Washington Tuesday and the extraordinary session of congress halted while Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter of the president, became the bride of Mr. Sayre. The prayers of a nation will he offered tomorrow, in thanksgiving for tho many favors, the bouutiful harvest, the gifts of a gracious Father and the general prosperity and happiness that prevails in tills land of peace and plenty. You should add yours. State Chairman Korbly has called a meeting of the democratic state central committee for December 2 at In- J dianapolis, at which time plans will be ; talked over for next year’s campaign. | The democrats are up on their toes allrighty, and they will make the boys step some or distance them. There lias been a wonderful change' iu the sentiment of the business men, the bankers and the people in general, ' on the currency bill, since it was first sprung by President Wilsui: several! mouths ago, and tiie most wonderful' part is that each day brings all of j them nearer to an agreement. There i will be a currency law enacted, prob j ably within a few days and at farthest within a few weeks, and while no one j claims it will be perfect, it is sure to j be an improvement over present condi- j lions and the foundation for a splendid control of the currency. Even such j staudpat papers as Leslie are now fa 1 voring such a law and art; urging Hu j republicans to join the democrats and progressives iu passing a law that will! be a credit to the nation. tNOING NOVEMBER 29.

—— lsjst p the good bargains here, or tell us of e. him and wc will mail him a list or call '* and see him. GOOD REASONS ROR READING THE ADS. * Many times real estate is sold and a neighbor says "That was cheap, if I hud known it 1 would have paid = more for it," and the same was advertised for weeks. If you would only read the ads carefully, think for in--8 stance, how many farms can be ® bougtit for SIOO per acre or less—yet 8 here is a farm of 120 acres in our list l> we can sell you for $75 per acre, good buildings, and 4 miles of Decatur. How many farms in this radius can you buy for this money? NONE. Then this must be the cheapest and ', best bargain. But then you say there are so many for sale. This is always • .the case. Then again you say there j is hut little selling now iu the farm lino; a GOOD reason for buying, if tho country was full of buyers, which ' it will he next year, "you could not ' buy neur so cheap or on such easy terms.” Farm and city property in Decatur . and Adams county were never more , staple than now and the fellow who tried to sell a few years ago and fail-' ed was fortunate in this failure for tin* same has since udvunccd in price from $5 to sls per acre. Many who have left Adams county have return ed to invest and now see the folly of i going away, while all who have stuck see their wealth increase by steady J and substantial growth, with good rev- ; enue, while the values of lands inj eretfse. Now is the time to buy while there is plenty to select from at reasonable ( prices. - HOW TO PREVENT The Prevailing Contagious Diseases from Getting in Your Home. l By keeping yourself and children's f blood iu good condition; build up your nerves. Keep your stomach, ■ bowels, liver and kidneys in proper,; ' condition, preparing your stomach to * ' digest what you eat. 49 General Ton- 1 i tc was prepared by Dr. Hensley 50 j years ago to meet all these conditions. Its virtue and value has never 1 been equaled for the regulation of | • these conditions.
