We wish to call the attention of the Farmers and Business men throughout the County to the tact that a Farmer’s 1 Institute will be held'in4he town of Berne, on Wed - nesday,'January 31, and Thursday, February 1, 1894, at which Messrs. I Robisonand Stevens’, will address the meetings,—the former on Wednesday, and the latter on Thursday, —of the above dates. These gen- » tiemen are known to a number j>f our Farmers and others] who have attended these meetings heretofore | as able speakers. Besides these gentlemen, Adams County will preE sent a number speakers who I are .interested in the Agricultural and Industrial pursuits of the County. It is through these meetings that the progressive ’] Farmer and the professional and business men of towns and cities can come together for the improvement of each other’s interests. Therefore inj order that all may, be apprised of the’days and dates of the meetK ing, the Democrat makes this early announcement with a view that all ■ who read it will take' heed and be L there. w * . —w» Organize a Married Men's Club i for social advancement —at home. ’"’The Democrat would|liketo see I our’City Council pay a little more E attention*to the wishes of citizens alongJCourt Street who desire a stop K put to, feeding animals J, on that ■ street. The many complaint* made I ’ offthis nuisance by the people who ft- live on that stfeet should not be I ignored.for all time to'conie/’as forI bearance]* ceases once jn a great I while to be the proper thing. I K Dr. S. O. Irvin reports business in his I I line better since the election. We are glad || to hear this and hope it will be better, liiK deed, we believe that the assured success |fi of the Republican party in 1896 will make | 1 it better for all of us.—Winchester Journal, ft This is true Republicanism. I ft While we do not\believe that the I I JournalVman actuaUy’*wishes any I K one to suffer—especially from sick|E* ness—yet the principle is so firmly I established injthe mind of a “dyed I in the wool” Republican that he II can’t help saying some must suffer ft that others may get rich. ■EC The Hawaiian affair is now being I1 shown up in its true light; and from 1 1 the present state of affairs is likely ■ » develop a'scanaal that will inst f> volve Ex-President Harrison to I | some degree; with Ex-Minister ft I Stevens as the real guilty party. ftft There seems to have been a conHR apiracy entered into by and between ■ I some of the Americans there and ■ I the officers of this country whereby H a deal was made to turn the Ha- ■ |waiian government into the hands ■ | of'the present managers.

■ Lieutenant Defrees, ot the ■ I United States Army, who is asB signed to Indiana on duty in con- || nection with the Indiana militia, ■B has prepared his report to the War IB Department. It shows that there H are in the State 2,460 men organIKlzed into military companies form Bing the State miltia. They com ■K prise forty-eight companies of fifty Bfipnen each, making one brigade ol ■■four regiments of infantry and three ■Los artilery. There are in the State men avapable for military These include all men be■Ktween the ages of eighteen and flwforty-five. B K Now that the Owl Club is snugly Bfcnsconced m its new quarters flroKfthe thirdjfloor of the Niblick and jßfoniiellierJmilding, we would sng|Mvest that the Lime Kiln Club bestir BMpbeniselves and also get domiciled ■■before the winter get too far along. Mf-WeMo not know whether the Lime Hflltiln Club admits to membership SBbay person of an Alabaster or copcolor, but would say that if such amalgamation would be tolerafl. I that worthy Club, Decatur raßfculd establish one of the iinest Hflocial organizations in the State, our people are ripe for the op-

A TIMELY SUGGESTION! Several months “ago the Democrat suggested to our Catholic congregation the propriety of taking steps toward locating grounds for the purpose of establishing a new cemetery. Since then we have talked with several very prominent members of that denomination on the subject, all of whom < favored an early commencement of this very necessary innovation. There need be no opposition on the part of any of the members for a creation of the above change, as the time is not far off when it will become compulsory for want of territory in the present grounds whereon to place the dead Clear the Way. How much longer is Decatur going to remain a Jim-crow city in point of allowing her streets and street crossings to be obstructed by every street fakir and other itinerant come-a-long that shows up here. Last Monday the crossing on the corner of Second and Madison Streets was so blockaded by the Si Plunkard Band that vehicles and pedestrians had to go out of their way to get to their destination. The Council and Marsha] ought to be force enough to remedy this nuisance, but they don’tWhat will the County Commissioners Do with the Old Fair Grounds? The time is not far distant when the County Commissioners will get into regular session again for the transaction of such business as may come before them. The citizens of Decatur and tax-payers of Adams County wpuld be pleased to have that majestic body do something at this session with ■ the “Old Fair Grounds” whereby the people of the county would know* if we are to have a County Fair in 1894 or not. That they will ever be used' again for the purpose of holding County Fairs need not be agitated. They are entirely too small for that purpose. Therefore the sooner that some disposition of these grounds takes place by the Commissioners, the eailier will be the forming of “new ideas” for the procuring of more suitable grounds.

For some time’past a number of able jurists have been discussing the propriety of abolishing our Grand Jury system. Whether it would be better to confer greater power on our courts and do away with the Grand Jury is a serious question, and has two sides to it like ah other questions. We believe that our Circuit Courts should be open at all times, and that they should have full authority to bring witnesses into court and examine them touching any felony or misdemeanor, directing the Prosecuting Attorney to file affidavits against parties chargeable with crime, or that the court on its own motion may direct that a warrant be issued bringing into court the parties charged with crime. TO THE PEOPLE OF INDIANA. A happy custom, long honored and revered, coming down to us through all the years of the Republic, that one day in each year should be especially set apart as a day of public thanksgiving and praise to the Divine Ruler of our destinies in grateful acknowledgement for the bountiful blessings heaped upon us as a people though loving deuce. And as it has pleased the President of the United States, by proclamation, to designate Thursday, November 30th for that purpose. Now, therefore, I, Claude Mat- ; thews, Governor of the State of , Indiana, do call upon the people of our State to faithfully observe . this day, and through suitable offerings of prayer and praise around the firesides ot the home and in the public places of -worship render that devotion due from grateful i hearts for the mercies of the past, and a continuance of the loving care and protection of Almighty ■ God in the coming years. No more appropriate thanks can be given than come through generous rememi brance of the unfortunate and disi tressed. In witness whereof,,l have hereunto set my hand, and caused to be ■ affixed the Seal of the State, at the ' City of Indianapolis, this the (ith . day of November, 1893. By the Governor: Claude Matthews. W. K. Myersc, Secretary of State.
