WEEPING CONCLAVES:— Republican love feasts have degenerated into weeping conclaves to which great hordes of disheartened candidates go to Forced to abandon their early entrenchments by the onrush of prosperity, the party leaders of this state are beating the bushes for an issue that will “take” with the people. Thus far they have been unsuccessful. Greensburg initiated a series of love-feasts and set afloat a tempest of joy waves which vibrated even to Rushville. During the interim the era of prosperity under democracy made marked progress and proportion as prosperity gathered force the hopes and ambitions of republicans waned. Hilarity in a modified form characterized the Rushville blow out, even though * the crowds were larger and the platform attractions more alluring. Obviously, the subtle effects of prosperity had taken the "amity" out as calamity and left the republican propaganda bar ren and colorless. Other feasts were given in widely separated parts of the state, but the jinx of prosperity, in the role of a killjoy, trailed the hosts to put a damper on the enthusiasm. The republicans could not fly in the face of prosperity and get by with it. A contented and happy people refused to be stampeded. However, with admirable perseverance, the party has decided to make one more last, desperate effort to round up thefaithful in Indianapolis late in December. With Indianapolis as a central wailing place for the entire state, the party hopes to make something like an impression.—Greensburg Times. Are you asking for Decatur-made sugar?

The corn crop has for many years been = the biggest part of the real income of Adams county farmers. It supports I Adams county and not only the farm- ) er. but the towns and cities.

The Portland Bua says: The business world is no place for a lazy man or for the fellow who wants to de business like his father used to do fifty years ago. It is the wide-awake fellow —the fellow u.o keeps up to--3 date, who wishes to hold the trade 1 be has and increase it, the feilo.v 5 who finds himself with a business ' f that has fallen off or the man whc ' starts a business and wants to secur, 3 his share, the fellow who works earh and late and the fellow who adver--3 tises who win out in these days. ’ There is no getting away from it. 1 Just because so and so's father traded ’■ at your father’s store fifty years ago ? is no sign that you are going to gel his business. You must have to keep 3 telling the people what you have for sale and why it is to their advantage to buy at your store. If you don’t 1 tell them, if you keep everlastingly telling 'em the first thing you know | the fellow who does keep telling ’em i has not only most of your trade but ' he has also attracted others to bis store, ana he’s the fellow who wins. 1 ~l»nm»tn::»n;nuia»?::nt:n»:trtrtg « 3 n « -1 DOINGS IN SOCIETY i Ptßunyurr.-ajaauttuittn.’ntnsuytsi a WEEK'B CLUB CALENDAR.
