Be sure first, before you complain of the (roods and prices of home merchants, that you liaveu't had a hand In making it Im-

possible for your merchants to handle the kind of goods you want at the prices you can pay. Merchants are not mind readers nor are they blind to their own best interests. If they haven't what you want they will get It for you at a* low or lower price than you can get it anywhere else. They deserve to be given an opportunity to do so anyhow: but if they do not deserve it you will be doing your self a bigger favor than you will be doing them to deal face to face with men you know and that can be held \ personally accoutnable for their promises and performances. Try this for a rule of trading hereafter. Jim A. Hendricks Is the new road superintendent of Adams county, thfe first man to hold this position. He has much experience as a member of the board of county commissioners and will prove an efficient man in charge of the highways. This office was created by the last legislature and Mr. Hendricks will have complete charge of of the roads. It 1 means much to a county which hns spent the amount of money that Adams has and which has the finest ays tern of roaus of any county in the fctate.

New Company Launched Today (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) j |js one of the very best Institutions i j ever launched in Decatur and means | i much for the growth of the city. It is substantial, la growing and has a j great future. Five years ago Mr. C. ! (\ Schafer started the company with ! two men. The concern has grown * rapidly and ha; made money. The result is shown in this organixation of a live wire company, fully flnan- J j red and with a future that promises : success oven beyond the fondest dreams of Mr. Schafer. The new factory means a demand t for licuses in that sec tion of the city and the'company will appreciate any information along that line. Unless 1 some one else does so. it is likely I that the Schafer Saddlery company 1 will proceed to build houses for the use of their men. The success of the Waring Glove j eompany Is due to the fact that the men who operate it are high cla-> business men. The same may be said of the Schafer company and a 1 combination of the two, makes one I hard to beat. The stock is right now I worth considerable more than par. in fact it is not for sale, at any price, and we predict a splendid future for the Schafer Saddlery Company, (incorporated.) We congratulate the new firm and euch of its members, i but we more than that congratulate the community for haring these bus , , Iness men who grow and make the. j city do so. The new company dates I from January. Ist. The officers will: be elected at the first meeting within | a few days, a slight delay having l»een necessary, until the pepers arrive from the secretary of states of-! 1 flee. 1 j Here's hoping success, and lots of i it for Quality.
