County F^lr. Shall we have a frir In Ada:n» county " thU fall ? The qnestlon ha* been frequently asked ui by firmer* and_others interested In a county fair. We Can aee no good reason lor not having one. Our county Is as rich and pro- ! ductlve at any county in the state, and better than nine out of t-n of the counties in the state. Our larmers are as industrious and intelligent as any of them, either here or any place else. Ths stock and gj|m they sraise Is equsl to any that can be produced any place, and at thai time ot year their work is so that they can leave it and feel that they do not suffer thereby , There must be some cause for it, and the only one that' comes to our mind i> thf fact that hereto fore the premiums that w’al advertised to be paid were let go by default. While such a course is wrong yet a farmer should not stod on that ac ceunt, for the small amount of money that comes through , a premium is worth contending for, but the amount that one learns and the enjoyment they have is far more to them than the small amount realized frdm premiums. Those counties where they are the most suceesstul is where they are in the hands ot the far mers,where the board of directors are men who feel an interest in agricultural pursuits. While it may be neccessary to have horse racing, yet the main feature ol a fair should be the display of agricultural products and the farm industries. While we have no interest in a fair only the gen eral interest of the county, we feel that our people will be benefited thereby to such air extent that a necessity exists, fur a county (air under the supervision of the t farmers of this county, for the benefit of the tillers of the soil. Anent the Keeiey Cure. Editor Democrat:— ln reply to a report of the discussion of the Keeiey cure Which was published in the Journal week before last, the following article was sent the that paper for publication. The article was suppressed and an insolent misrepre sentation of it published last week. In order that those who read both papers may compare what I did say with what the Journal represents me as saying. I enclose the article for publication in the Democrat. Very truly M L Holloway. There are at least two qualifications necessary in a reporter for a "great religious” or any other journal intended for • the public. First, he should be capable of comprehending the subject matter to be reported, and secondly, he should have sufficient regard for the truth not to misrepresent what is said. From the report given in last week’s Journal of the di-cussion at the Presbyterian church of the Keely cure, it-would seem thst the author possesses neither of the above requisites. The part taken by Rev. Allen is truthfully given, but all the rest must be taken with a grain of salt. Dr. Van Dyke’s statements were in perfect accord with the opinions of educated physicians and medical journal upon this subject. 1 1 enclose a slip containing the views of T.D. Crother, M. D., an acknowldged ex pert and specialist, in the treatment o inebriety which I should be glad to have you publish. The covert sneer aimed at your humble servant, fails short of the mark. If her objections were considered those of the W. C. T. U. then she is proud of the fact, for in her estimation that union is as near infallable in its judgment oi men and things as it it possible for a human organization to be. The writer did not,however, object to Keely or anyother man, curing the habit of drunkenness On the contrary, her objections to Keely are not because he aims to cure drunkenness, -r but because of his false pretentions. There is no such preparation of gold as the bichloride and an analysis of his remedy proves that It containa no gold in any form. The writer believes that ‘‘any man ’ can cure himself of the habit of drunkenness by following the advice Keely gives to h s patients w hen they leave his care. Na vtj , that iHey shall not go where liquor is to be had; that they shall not associate wlih their 'lormer companions; thst they shall attend church; keep them selves in good society ; take (he advice of their . wife, if -they have one, if not, get a good one.and obey her wishes, etc., all of which depend* upon the exercise i f thrir own will power. That drunkenness is a di case to be cured, the witter does not b-licve, but that it is a habit to be ovei eome, and that can be overcome she does firmly believe, and furthennoi#,, she belives in making it not only possible, but • easy for those whose will power has be come weakened by inebriety to conquer the habit, and those who bel eve it to be a disease, yet advocate the taking of a revenue from the business which generates ad extends the disease, ate guilty of a monslious Iniquity. That the drinking of alcoholic liquor causes innumerable dis eases, accidents and crimes b o's without denying, and it Is therefore the duty of physician* as emse vatirs of public h aith and the c'eigymen as conservator* of the moral and spiritual welfare of communities and the pre-s usdUseminatchK of Intelligence which sha'l benefit the world , to strenuously sdvo a’e 'hr abolition of the whole poisonous hua'tt»a.

1892-LEAP YEAR. A P< if Worth from the I’m of Kdlth Seeelone Tapper, Has it occurcd to you ladies, that 1892 ia leap year? Ring out wild bells lo the wide' sky and tell each despairing msld that her hour approaches. Not for long will she be forced to pine in solitude, blush unseen and waste her sweetness on the desert air Her day is coming—the hour in which she can corner the young man of her choice and tell him that life without him will be a void, a hdwling wi dernrss. She can soothe his agitation, quiet his fluttering heart, press his manly form in her arms and kiss him smack on the mouth even if he should resist. Ring out, wild bells, and tell the coquetish widow to lay in an-extra stock of war paint and tomahawks, for her hour, too, is at hand. Never backward about mani festing by gentle look, smile or sigh her preference, she will be at her periheiton during 1892 And vain will be the attempt of man to escape from the sunshine of her affection. He who trusts himself in the society of some m in's relict in leap year is Ipst. Ring ont, wild bells, and tell those who have lost even the semblance of hope—those ancient virgins who have looked through many a weary year for the man to come and have ever been disappointed—that hope is not dead even for them; that the door of opportunity will soon be ajar and they, alone will be to blame if they enter not, aye, and shut and barricade it behind them. . - _ . Woman goes through life in a one-halt ) one-third, one-quarter sort of fashion. Even in the most important step of her career she is condemned to wait. She must 6tand back with her Anger in her mouth and watch the man she would preter drilt from her without making a sign oi distress. But seme philanthropist, to whom woman should be eternally grateful, ordained tfiat once in four years they should have a whack at proposing. Leap year ia deservedly popular with the ladies. And the men—what of their feelings in the matter? Do they, timid, shy frightened lambs, wi.h to be pursued? Small difference to the resolute woman who propose! to do matrimonial business. She pares not tor timidity or coyness. Her time for skirmithidg is short—it must be fierce. . . f?*'■ Rouse maids and widows ! the battle field is open for the conflict. Edith Sessions Tuppkr.

DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15,1892.

War. Chilli hts been intruding npon this country until forebearance haz become no longer possible, and the times indicate that within the next thirty day* the United States troops will be ready for blood. Some of the Chilians are urging the mat ter on, thinking they can gain some prestage in that way, merely for money and glory thifc for the honor oi the govern ment or for to show their fighting qualities, but a greater part of it depends on the backbone of the President if he says they have overstepped the law, then war it will be, and if he relutes to *ay so, Congress may tar so any way. At all events it looks as though we have another "breakfast job” on our hands. While we do not believe in war, yet our rights must not be trampled on by any one, or if they do they mutt be made to apologize by gentle means first and if not then, by force. i" i ■■■ ■atmii •/ Fox Drive.

An exchange sais: A parent writes that he is annoyed and pained by his son staying out nights, a; d ssi-s if we can present a remedy for this fast growing evil. There are several remedies. The ' boy’s spine can be broktn with an ax or he can b; nailed to the floor with a iedhot railroad spike driven through his abdomen, but the most i flectual way is to make him wear patched clothing. We this week publish the delinquent tax list, ours is small and shows well for the county. The amounts are all small some of the tracts belong to parties who let them l sell, thinking thereby to secure a bet! ex title. Wlyile such may not make their title any better it is suie io make them some cost. The smallress of the list speaks well for our farmers and the people ol the county in general, but few counties in the state can show so fewtracts'of land for sale bv the tax collector.
