For Thin • ■ -it • Babies 1 Fat is of great account to a baby ; that is why babies are fat. If your baby is scrawny, Scott’s Emulsion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not cry ; they are rich ; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat surrounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scraw’ny those nerves are hurt at every ungentle touch. They delight in Scott’s Emulsion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them. Send for free sample. Be sure that this picture In the form of a label Is on the wrapper of every bottle cf I Emulsion you buy.

We see a new name at the top of the ladies’ list tonight. Miss Amanda M. Soldner. the candidate from Berne, was favored yesterday with a total of 1,705 votes which puts her in the lead. Miss Pearl Burdg after holding first place for a day goes down to second place tonight. While Miss Burdg polled a good vote Tuesdy the exceedingly large vote received by Miss Soldner forces all the other six leading candidates down Miss Anna Win nes secured two more votes yester day than Miss Burdg, still Miss Winnes is forced down from 3rd to I sth place- The reason of this is ' Miss Soldneer passed her with the vote of 1,705, and also Mies Frances ! Bryson goes past her with a vote of 1498. For the gentlemen Dallas Butler still leads with D. W. Beery, C. L. Helm and Wid Dorwin right at his neels, and so close that the I gap may be closed at any time. The only change of. position in the gentlemen’s column is Wm. Dar waohter, he passes Frank Wemhoff. Nearly 4,000 votes were cast yes terday, which should prove to any one that the interest is still in i tense and that the lodge and society workers of Old Adams cbunty i are willing and anxious to reward I those men ,and women who have given up their time unsparingly thht their favorite order might live and prosper. them it has been a labor of love, with no thought of reward other than the consciousness of duty well perform ed. Shall their unselfishness go ' unrewarded? With but ten days i more of the contest there is every reason to believe that the deserving will be rewarded with the Democrat diamonds SurJy the society and churohworkers of this city’ and county are as Joyal as elsewhere, and will be found’to do ;the right thing for their representative. Not i only is the interest at fever heat in ! Decatur, but many in the country are'interested end are doing every i thing in their power to help their; friends who are deserving. Up to and including last evening a total 30,858 votes have been cast for

these names which appear above. Os this large number of votss the ladies have 21129 and the gentle men 982.9 These figures are prao tially interesting at this time as they of give some idea of the out standing vote. It Appears that there are a lot of gentlemen votes being held in reserve. Who, or what candidates are ] holding these votes? The chances are that they are about equally held by the gentlemen candidates and lady candidates ' waiting for exchanges Wid Dorwin keeps right up with the top notchingers and is liable to take a spurt any old time. If the Masons do as they are said to be going to do at the close, Wid will probably have a boost at the end of the race that will cause him to feel proud. Just what the balance of the ticket will do is a puzzle to many and the dark horse so often re ferred to may be ’•morg them I The friends of Miss Dnde Vogle wede are not displaying much ap prehension over the outcome and seem the most sanguine predict that when the judges have finished the count Miss “Dude” will be all smiles. The judges will be selected and announced the last of this week All candidates should read the item tonight relating to the Weekly Democrat; it will interest you. Look in the windows of W. LLehne and D. M, Hensley and see the diamonds, RULES AND REGULATIONS, Candidatei must be members of a regularly organized lodge, club, church, school, labor, literary or sooiaLorganization, and living in Adamß county.

The fire company was called out last evening in response to a call from the C. F. True residence but their presence was not needed as the trouble was only a chimney burning out. The Presbyterian ladies have aranged a special service for next Sabbath evening which will be both interest ingTand helpful. It will consist of a lecture by the pastor, Dr. Fowler, subject - ‘Our Country in Pictures” illustrated by excellent stereopticon views and some good special music. Every body is cordually invited to enjoy the same. No ad mission. Any Decatur merchant who may wish to givejany special prize to ribbon winners at the poultry and pet stock show, can do so, by seeing W. A. Fonner at the rooms of the poultry show. Several have already been given and others will be gladly received. The poultry show is the best ever given here, i and we doubt if any in the state will equal it. Our merchants can well afford to encourage the eenti t ment that developed the first of severe! that will be given. Miss Madge Hite delightfully enteitained the Black Rag cooking club last evening at her home on Winchester [street and the club i never held a more successful meeting. The ladies all came to Miss Hite’s home with their dresses just reversed in other words dressed backwards and presented a very novel appearance. The evening was spent in doing 'fancy cooking stunts, atfer which the girls p nn .ished themselves by eating what ’they had cooked. The meeting ad journed at a late hour, the member agreeing to meet again in the near future.

I would indeed do credit to a city j ten times the size of Decatur. A number of traveling men who hap- , pened in today said the show was the best they have seen anywhere in the state. ) 1 • Beginning with this morning voting certificates in the Daily ■Democrat diamond ring contest . will be issued for renewal sub . soriptions to the'Weekly Democrat.

Just calculate a little and ’ figure the vote at six'y votes for one dollar and then imagine what • two thousand subscribers could do, , j either for any one of the present . [ comeetants or for a dark horse, j Make the last ten days busy ones.
