Do we want a County Fair? Yes we wain a County hair. When do we want our County Fair? We want our County Fair some time in 1893. All those m lav >r of a County Fair in 1893, send name to Decatur Democrat. Don’t let your opportunities go to waste by not saying something in tbe way of organizing a Fair Association for Adams County. Let Everybody* in Adams County speak their peace through tbe columns of* the Democrat regards to holding a County Fair in 1893. We want to publish-the names of all those in our County favoring tbe holding of ajCouuty Fair in Decatur in 1893. Send in your John Hancock. Probably' it is not necessary for us to give the alarm, but of late a considerable amount of gas has been escaping—through the columns of the Decatur r. w. Journal. Readers of The Democrat in the several townships in the county select one of your number to rep resent your township In the Adams County Fair project. The columns of the Democrat are wude open to the public for any suggestions that will start the ball loihng. It is hoped by maiiy of our'citizens that the meteoric shower that was to occur last Sunday night may come in order that our streets may be properly illuminated for once. Others object, saying that the old program of darkness and mud is good enough for them. As that meteoric shower failed to keep its appointment and the Council’s contract with the Sun Vapor Company considered that last Sunday night would fall gracefully within the “light of the moon,” Decatur w T as left in utter darkness. We have lost confidence in illuminating qualities of the meteor. Wit have often heard Stangers remark that Decatur is nOVthe enterprising city that they expected to see the first time they had the privilege of visiting our city. We would kindly invite them to stay with us over night and see how well the town is “lit up.” A few trips through the business part of our City some dark night would satisfy them— that summer is better adapted to the (S. V.) son vapor lightning bug than winter. One good thought suggests another, and a little light suggests more. I’he electric light Suspended over the crossing near the Presbyterian church does well for the chance it has. blit it does not give Tight for the entire town, nor does it give light the entire night. DeCitur is large enough to furnish something else besides “lightning bugs” during, the “dark of the moon.” We’are not here for the good of any individual or afiy company, but for tin good of our city. If we qr<‘ to have electric light*-', then let us have.more of them ami let them shine all night and seven nights out of the week. W« cam do belter than grope through the dark of Sunday nights,—going to »ud coming from church, or in the latter part of night we can be better accoynmodated by having onr way lit while passing - ir'nn hotel to depot or vice vgrsa. Why not have our citydit up when the heavens are all Agio with elect rieii t. riiil the earth it full of ml. gas, and every thing necessary for light if the material li just utilised. t ■

County Fairs. It is an indisputable fact that the common County Fair is a blessing to any community when thoroughly organized. Il is a medium through which the people of the County and surrounding neighborhood are permitted to exchange ideas of a social aid business make-up. The farmer and breeder becomes inspired by competition and puts forth his best effort to produce that which will carry off the first prize. While this effect is brought forth, the grade crt Horses, cattle, sheep and swine is taken into consideration and impioved, and the farmer is well paid for bis trouble. The poultry too, is never forgotten, and the cereals and garden products is what is al w iys admired. It\s here that you seethe good house wife with her h uidiwork — all of which combine and make mankind feel that he is filling the place on earth, assigned him by tbe great ruler of us all. I’ne people of our County may have b >ea mistreated to some extent in years gone by, but that is no reason why Adams County can not have a Fair as well as other counties, and tbe people should feel disposed to “turn out” and lend their aid and influence. About one year ago a move of this kind was made, but for a lack of a little , push on the part of someone, was abandoned. Now let us again make the effort, — commence where we left off, and push tbe matter to a satisfactory conclusion. When we look around .is and see the great amount of business and money that is transferred by people of our County to other neighborhoods simply because we hive no “Fair of our own,” it behooves us to arouse from our slumbers, and wake up to but one conclusion, —a County Fair for 1893. Adams County W'ith its fine producing linds, its herds of tine stock and other advantages, must not trail along in this undertaking and peruit adjoining counties to reap the harvest belonging to us. It will require energetic work to accomplish this work and put the movement on ■ts feet, but when once there it will easily take care of itself. So let he good work be commenced at once. The politicians of our country are just returning to consciousness, and in an apparent self-possessed manner, they are cautiously expressing their opinions in reference to the late political revolution. These opinions vary in accordance to the depth of reason, capacity ot inlellect, broadness of mind, or the ability of the different persons to perceive or grasp a true mental picture of the condition of the individual voter with the influences that surround him. We all know’ that before a photographer can secure an accurate representation of an object, he must have in his possession the necessary requirements. He must have a good camera: be surrounded by the proper amount of light, ami he must know something, of the principle* of physics and c’i n'- rr which relate to the prod iction of pictures by the action of 1 ght. The lens ot the camera must .possess the proper strength to suit the distance of. the camera from the object, in order that the rays of light will be focussed on the chemically prepared- paper. If the politician wants a correct picture of the situation of the country formed on his brain, which corresponds to the chemically prepared paper of ihe photographer, a sensative organization is necessary,—one that is siiHceptable to the light of reason. He must remember that no other substance but brain matter will do. Buckwheat baiter will never furnish a good subs itute; and it might as wcLL.be dispensed with first as last. After the pr<q»er brain matter is provided," there must be some rational means produced by which aeeurate im.p re scions can be formed. Welearned that the legs of the i photographer must be a perfect ins rument as it is depended upon to ! bring the rays of light to a focus upon the chemically prepared paper. As the lens of,lhe photogra- ■ ■ pher is perfect, so must tbe ifleans

by which impressions are made upon the brain be perfect. Let any one imagine what an imperfect picture that a lense would make if it. was partly convex and partly concave, and its shape distorted in every way conceivable. It is just as impossible to get a perfect picture in the mind with an imperfect means as it is to get a good photograph by the rays of light passing through an imperfect lense. So it can be readily seen what must be the condition of things to enable a person to get a correct view of the late political struggle. First, a man must be able to comprehend sact 8 as they are presented. Second, these facts must be presented as they exist, and the person receiving these facts must be close enough to get a vivid mind picture. The reason that the last election surprised so many people is because a true condition of affairs were hard to ascertain. Tbe presses of the country were mostly all demagogical. While one party was promulgating, truths, the other was denying every assertion made. Thus it is not hard to see why ,so many people,—especially those who read but one side of the question were mislead. They did not face the battle with their perceptive faculties wide awake, but closed their eyes to every fact that di 1 not agree with thgjr p'rejudices. I istcad of gathering facts and moulding their prejudices according to established thruths, they gathered together their prejudices and tried to classify cold realities- accordingly? The lens through which they receive the rays of wisdom was distorted, and a blurred vision was the result. We do not intend to enumerate the causes of the •great political landslide.” They are too numerous. There is scarcely a redeeming feature to be found in Ilarrison’s-Administration. In this production, we shall say nothing of the theories or doctrines of either of the political parties, but anyone who has watched tbe movements of the laboring elements could plainly see great dissatisfaction in their ranks. This uneasiness was not shared alone by this element of society, but it reached the Judge’s b meh, and spread consternation in t ie ranks of a well organized politick party. Three ot the greatest States.of the Union were compelled to call upon their militia to suppress the laboring element and in one instance the general government itself was compelled to per form a similar task. While the glittering bayonets of the soldiers were sparkling under the noon-day sun, the Republican statesmen were telling tbe people that they were content. The people replied to their erroneous statements at the polls, and the world knows the result. The victory is won and must be cared for. There is but one thing for the Democratic party to do, that is, it must legislate for the people, then the victory will care for itself. They can not tie to any faction, legislate for them that they may in turn care for others. Such legislation will seal the doom of any political parly. Business is business the world over, and when business becomes anywise stagnated, hyphothecate your string and get action. No bus iness man holds lands which he does not use for the purpose of speculation. Whenever he finds he has no object in keeping property he sells it and makes a better use of the money. We have a small waste of land near the town that is doing no one any good. It is owned by the County. It has been used as the County Fair Grounds some years ago, but of late all interest that eyer did exist in this County of a “fair” nature, has long since died and nothing but the empty remem •brance of the past serves as a head stone to mark the burial place of the “fair” interest which if there is o hopes of a resurrection it should fie allowed to rest m peace! Since the County can have no further object in view to keep this abandoned tract of land why not have it latd off in town lots and give some one a chance to.get a home, and if ever the County wants to revest in another Fair project, a more suitable place can he found. Let the people derive some good from our abandoned Fair Grounds. Our astronomers have been divided in their opinions in reference to the new comet, and its movements. They should not allow ;smajl things to stand in their way. They were wrong in seeking primary facts I roih which to reason,,for according to-the r. w. true premises are not-necessary in„order to reach a correct conclusion. A new school of philosophers will soon be on the carpet. The old have all been laid in the shade.

The remarkable skill of a noted Cincinnati Physician, lormerly Professor in Medical College, will give special attention to difficult cases other physicians have failed to cure, both Male and Female. For the past four years the afflicted have been flocking in great numbers to see him and they always return filled with the greatest enthusiasm and lhe stones they tell of his remarkable diagnoses and wonderful cures, border on that of the marvelous. One says: “I went there on crutches aud came away without them.” Others say that they bad been sick and suffered for years, and they were cured. To see him and be treated by him, means health. He asks no questions, but gives a full history of each case as soon as he sees tbe patient, telling better how a person feels than they can tell it themselves. His knowledge seems perfect and his medicines are specific. They never fail. The work he accomplishes is truly asastonishing. There is no n eed to live in con stant misery. It costs nothing to see him. The fullest examinations are free. A cure can be had for the mere cost of the medicine. He is the Sick Man’s Friend, and no one is turned away unaided. The merchant mingles with the artisan iu seeking relief at his hands, and hundreds are cured every year. •Some of our most respected citizens have been cured by Dr. T who have been given up by other physicians as incurable. Hundreds of testimonials can be seen at his office. Bluffton Oliver Home Parlors, Thursday and Friday Dec. Bth, 9th. Thursday add Friday Jan. 5,0, '93.
