DECATDIi, ADAMS' CQUNTY, INUIANA, FRIDAY, Jl LY 22, ISII2.

ASHCRAFT WITHOUT AN “H” Now friends, if you haven't heard ol the Journal man. Just gather around me; I’ll tell you his plan. Alt hough he looks strong, he’s not very stout; And though he lives high, he never has the gout. Early in the morn ho stumbles up the stairs With knitted brow and troubled with cares. He thinks of the and thinks of the dlds And of his sad experience with tho troublesoino kids. "Whether it was Bfll Jive, or humorous Puck I don't know; 1 toll you I lim stuck. It may have been Tom—it was no doubt, I'll put it down Tom and “cut the kids out." Thus lie wrote from morn till night But never could get the thing exactly right; He accused Robison, Erwin, John T. and his brother And most everyone, exceptin’ his mother. Still he sat writing, in tho morn, at sunrise, While Frank Krill stood by shooin’ off the files "Woll,” he said, if I don’t miss my guess, The kids have fixed moaa rather bad mess; I’ll tell the truth Frank, I never could lie, 1 could as easily drink tho St. Marys river dry." His paper was filled with thoughts that were lent, Os what might happen if the kids didn't repent. The Journal is popular, and Its Editor, I tel) you what Is ail popular enough, exceptin’ his thought The Democrat eighteen hundred subscribers and more; Tho Journal searee'seven hundred can secure. "Now, ' sail! lie, "most anybody can easily see Tlc.t the Democru’ edipn- ;-u't as popular h’s He talked of ililu, rear and talked of things mall « IL ■alkod of things wlil- li interested nobody nt Ml: 1’ ■ rote of most everyt "■n."-, and bejabeis, si.id nothing v<-ry gcns>ie<'that.’ * Detcoerai "Cyd?- -a ' t I - .I^irmi 1 As he blathered away like a blasted fool. "Will do for the Democrats, as a general rule But he can’t Wah as loud'as the Journal Mule," Then the groans which all modesty forbids. Indicated plainly that he was tired of tho kids. Whether it was Tom, or Bill Nye, he hardly knew which. But he hung to Tom till -the very last hitch. Tnen bis compliments to all the Democrats gave; This one was a fool and the other a knave; But when he was seen goin’ down.in a hole The Democrats had a Caro for the welfare of his soul. “Now," one consoling word to my friends, said he, “The Democrat editor isn’t as popular as me." (Journal please copy.) The Ktns, Borne Items. The gas p’pes wi’l sben be laid througli the principal streets of our town, Mrs. E. T.

T. U. Notes. The Union Mil meet at the residence of Mrs. Cong'eton on Saturday p. m at 2:30 All are invited. Mrs. E.izabe.h U. Yates, of M.i .e, in an address at Glynden Park on the 4th of July, among other wise things said: “MoreJatner in the family and more mother in the councils ot the nation is the great need of the lard.” The Prohibition platform demands for women equal pay in the shops, and equal say at the polls. Philadelphia has an associated committee on police matrons, made up of three members each from the Cen ury Ciub, the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, the Pennsylvania Prison Society, t ie Women’s Conference of Charities and the Women’s Christian Association. In the past twelve months 1,500 women and almost 1,000 children have individually come under their care. The appointment of matrons in large cities has made great | advance, and the change is becoming popular with the authorities and the public. Mrs. Josephine K. Henry in t e Southern Journal says: “The coat of a ins of Kentucky is two men standi g "i h cla ped hands urder the motto. ’U : ed we stand and divided we fail.''

Ohio, has developed a fine gravel b“d o.a his farm on the road leading from Decatur to Will shire, the vein is five foot deep with but a thin layer- of soil on top. There is enough to gravel every road in this county and some to spare, but the commissioners of Mercer county, with some grav- , el roads constructed have their eye on it, and it behooves our people to be up and a doing, if they want it. I f some of the people of this, county wili buy the land and build a to A road from here to Willshire, they will find one of the best investments they can put their money too. Then the county like all around us will buy the road and make the same a fee turnpike and ii not the investment will be a good one to the party that will take hold of it in time. The Dr. writes J. T. France that the Mercer county people ■aill be there to morrow for to close up a deal with him for the gravel Let our folks move in the matter at once and place the county in the front rank for improvements.

It s the duty of the health officer to see tnat everything is put in the very best order possible to avoid an epidemic su' h as they are having at other places. Every cellar should be thoroughly ceansed, all out houses should be thoroughly disinfected with lime or copperas or both, for the extremelv warm weather is sure to bring disease, and that of the most malignant form.
