A LOVE LEAST. District Meeting to be Held Dec. 31. Captain W. R. Myers and Judge Ellison of Anderson, Will Speak. In another letter from the Hon. J. A. M. Adair announcing that Decatur had been given the honor of entertaining the democratic district meeting, on Thursday, December 31,he says that it is his intention to make the occasion an old fashioned democratic love feast. He has already received assurances from Captain W. R. Myers and Judge Ellison, of Anderson and before the time arrives a host of good speakers will have signified their intention of joining in one day of demoeratio oratory. The business of selecting a member of the committee will take but a short time, and then the balance of the day can be given up to hearing the eloquence of the speakers.

it is catching. Typewriter Cramps is the Latest and Fashionable Ailment. "Typewriter cramps,” You never heard of that, did you? “T’is the very latest disease out. If you are a young and pretty typewriter girl you had better take notice. Typewriter cramps have just made their debut, as wo write in society. The moral of the tale is: Don’t stay in the tpyewriting business as long as eight years. Only to those girls typewriters who have been employed in offices eight or twelve years old the typewriter cramps become an affliction. Beginning with a terrible pain in the fingers of the hand, the typewriter cramps generally extend up the afflicted arm. So terrible is the acute pain that not even a sheet of paper can be held in the hand without experiencing actue agony. First in the fingers thou in the entire hand, and up the arm the pain goes creeping gradually. Agony in moving the arm results, and a portion of the pain settles in the elbow muscles. Gradual ly the pain creeps down the side of the body adjacent to the afflicted side. Nor will the cramping pain go away. Medicine cannot induce it to stop. The suffering is continuous. DOLLAR GIFTS.

He is engaged in selling bonds and by the way he has sold a bunch of them while here. He is also a member of a firm at DesMoines, who do a mail order business on fancy bead articles.

He had one belt which contains every color known to the bead world and is about the prettiest fancy belt we ever gazed upon. While the beads are rather expensive the Indian labor is obtained so cheap that the goods can be sold at a very reasonable prices. SOLD BELGIANS. Bert Wolf Secured Fancy Price for Hares.
