iis howling as they always do. One can’t blame them. Nothing would I ' please them more than to see the I • democratic party divided, but they. won't see it. There is no cause or rea-1 son for its division. The democrats believe in the primary. That is th-* time when they wash their linen, dispose of their family quarrels, and then those who really believe in the party join hands and elect the ticket, in | doing so they preserve the organist!-1 lion, and that is why they have stood the assaults of the republican partv j for fifty years.' The democrats have presented a solid front in adversity ' and it should and will be doubly solid | in the time of its triumph over the op posing forces that it has combated and overcome. It is the duty of the democratic rank and tile—and every democrat belongs to the rank and file to stand shoulder to shoulder and (Ibow to elbow in support of the great reforms for which their party hus been fighting for so many years. The personnel of the ticket is splen I did, from first to last, being men ol i character, men who have the best interests of the community at heart and ' they will be elected by old-fashioned I majorities at next November's elec | ' tion. Better be digging up your New Year’s Day resolution. The time is slipping near and you have but about litre*: weeks to work it out. Whatever it is, write it so it will boost Adams county and help her people. The snow reminds us that Christmas is but two weeks away and if we want

to do our shopping early we will have i to be looking around. Don't forget that you will bo happier If you give 1 ■ cheerfully and give to those who may i i bo overlooked by some om else. 11 State politics warms up. The dis i trist meetings will be held the 29th, and the democrats will hold a love feast tn Indianapolis Jan. 8. From that time on tho candidates for state offici I will bo kept busy. 1 DOINGS IN SOCIFTY I CLUB CALENDAR. Tuesday Y. P. A.—Mrs. Fred Linn. Historical—Mrs. C. S. Battenburg. W. C. T.

On Friday evening, the Eureka club, an organization of young girls of the United Brethren church of this city.

met at the home of Mrs. Isaac Chronister, in their aoml-monthly regular ses sion. When this club was organised, the idea of serving a lunch at the close of each session was discussed, and the measure prevailed. A disposition on the part of each succeeding hostess to excell the former viands and hospitalities led to the discussion of the text, “Man Should Not Live by Bread Alone,” and caused the club to adopt new rulings as to lunch servings at their meetings, the following resolution being adopted: "Resolved, That hereafter any hostess of our club serving more than two articles at lunch shall be subject to a tine of not less than ten cents nor more than five dollars. Signed, Mrs. J. J. Foughty, president." This resolution lias been kept in full force ever since its adoption. On Friday evening, in regular session, at tho home of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Chronister, corner Eleventh and Elm streets, with a very general attendance after the regular routine of business and the rendering of a very beautiful program, all members settled down in quiet attitude, waiting the two-course luncheon to be served. Presently the hostess, Mist. Ina Chronister, assisted ' by Miss Hazel Butler, appeared, each i bearing atray upon which were toothpicks and water. Gently and quietly each member present was kindly waited upon. Not a word was spoken to break the almost death-like silence I that invaded the room; that only a few moments previous had been the scene of earnestness and zeal alone line c pointing to the lives and characters of young girls, and the betterment of humanity in general. Surprised, well I should say! But there was yet a greater surprise in waiting for those dear girls who sat looking at each other, wishing that some one might break the monotony of the occasion which was becoming almost unbearable. Just then te dining room door of the Chonister home swung open and Mrs.

Chronister stepped into tho u,. <1 stillness of the occasion and in her own kind, me' 1 ■ b. “Girls, one and all, phf.-e >'t«-p b. 1 he <1 kindly to the invitation, and the -> .hat went up from the rei 'id all .. silence of the past few momem -.
