The court bell has rung; the judge has taken bis seat: the jury has been called; the case of the Republican party has been clearly and carefully presented to them; the verdict has been brought in “guilty ’ of fhievery and fraud; sentence has been pronounced, but execution has been stayed by the people for several years and we are now afraid that the time is not far off when they will attempt an alibi. A large number of the people of this section of the country are now flocking to the exposition at Cincinnati. It is said by those who have visited the city and took in the sights and acenes of the ‘ wonderous show, that it is immense and worth all the time and mo ey byway of invigorating the body, refreshing the inner man, thus better preparing him for active duties in life work hereafter. In last week’s Democrat there was a mention made as to the propriety of organizing this fall for the purpose of holding a fair during the coming year. Since then we have been spoken to about the matter by some of our lead I ing citizens, who are of the opinion j that if the enterprise is properly man aged it would prove eminently sue cessful. With this encouragement on our part the Democrat is inclined to think that by another season we will be permitted to witness the good people of Adams county coming from all sections; meeting together on a common level, for as formers and business men in the way of c nterprisea we are ■ all actuated by the same common mo tive and in this direction all linked to I gether for the same destiny. It would be a pleasure indeed io see the young I and the old coming in buggies, carj riages, wagons and other vehicles neighbor meeting neighbors, shaking , hands with each other, and talking of times gone past and the vast improve ■ merit which has been made in the different departments of business within the last few years; to witness the young, just blooming into manhood and womanhood, smiling upon each | other with their sweetest smiles-to * see a general interest manifested by j all. would afford a pleasure that would ■ be highly gratifying in the highest de gree to every one present. Adams county to day has some fine cattle, splendid hoises, improved sheep and hogs, the best of grain, tegether with all the latest and most improved farming implements aud by making an exhibi.ion of them, would create an interest long felt in the county. Let us all foster the enterprise, get together as soon as possible aud complete the organization. I

A man never realizes the full benefit of advertising till he has placed the matter before the same people fifty or a hundred times. The first advertisement is good, but the one-hundredth is warth acre than fiv# hundred times as much as the first. It is a fact that the first time a man looks at an advertisement he does not see it. The second time he does not notice it. The third time he is dimly conscious of it. Tha fourth time he faintly remew bers something of the kind before. The fifth time he half reads it. The sixth time he turns up his nose at it. The seventh time he throws the paper down impatiently. the eighth time he ejaculates:— “There’* the eonfounded thing again.’ The ninth time he wonders if there's anything in it. Ths tenth time he thinks it might’ possibly *uit somebody else’s case. The eleventh time he thinks he will ask his neighbor if he has tried it, or knows anything about it. The twelfth time he wonders if the advertiser cau make it pay. The thirteenth time he rather thinks it must be a good thing. The fourteenth time he happens to think it is just what he wanted. The fifteenth time he for a long time resolves to try it as soon as he can afford it. The sixteenth time hs examines ths address carefully and makes a memorandum of it. The seventeenth time he is tantalized to think he is hardly able to afford it. The eighteenth time he sees painfully how much he is in need of that particular article. The nineteenth time he counts his money to see how much he would have left if he bought it. The twentieth time he rushes frantically forth and buys it. HAILROAD NEWS. Trains all on time on the G. R. & I. this week. Carpenters are putting up a new water tank at the St. Marys river on the G. R. & I. railroad. E. E.
