Every merchant in Columbia City may be able to sell better good* for leva money than the mail order house* or than the houses that send out canvassers. but very few of them are saying anythng about it. If the local merchants can do better by the people of Whitley county, than outadie firm, it might be a good idea for them to say so in the newspaper* or by other advertising mediums and then make their word good. There's going to be a lot of buying this fall and somebody is going to Set the patonage. Do you want it?—Columbia City Poet. Highly commendable should be considered the efforts of Lew G. Ellingham of the Decatur Democrat and Clay W. Metsker of the Plymouth Independent to inject vim and vigor into the discussion of live political issues. Eliminating mere candidate making from discussion, the intelligent presentation of issues in which the peop’e are vitally interested should have the hearty encouragement of the democratic y res* throughout the state High Heals, as eloquently put forth in Mr Bryan s lectures, should also receive proper attention. They wii lend charm to the discussion, auspiciously began at French Lick — South Bend Times. The Columbia City Post hits the nail squarely. With the advent of the rural route local merchants stand a chance of losing their prestige and some trade through the mail ordei houses. An aggressive campaign of advertising is the only means of stepping the practice. Local merchants will ha ve to awaken to the merit* of printer's ink, and to use it eternally and always and lots of it. The merchant who expects his show windows and reputation as a “leader" in his line to keep up his trade, will awaken some day from a pleasant dream to face the b’tter realities that even foreign competition has been reach ing the people. It has reached the point when newspaper adverising is as legitimate and necessary as fire insurance or the many other expen se< that make up the life of the progressive merchant. Palmist.

IS SEVERE Judge Fox. of Richmond, Instructed the Grand Jury. ■y Unlttd Press News Association, Richmond, Ind., July 26—Judge Fox today instructed th« Wayne County grand jury to investigate the wrecking of the Commercial bank at Hagerstown. He reviewed nt length as to how the farmers and merchants lost by it and alluded to it as a robbery. He denounced the law which made it ]>os*ible for a bank to do business so loosely and declared in conclusion that the dead cashier, Bowman, had aiders and nliettors who should be found and punished. He advised the grand jury to return indictments. NO TRACE Os Younß Naas, of Darlington. Who Is Short in A.counts. •pscisi Tslsgram To Ths Democrat Darlington.

Hl* H<.»Fltall(y I* Ofcly Equaled by III* l ourteay. The especial characteristic of the Irish peasant*, according to Prank I Mathew, in “Ireland." is an old sash-j ioned courtesy. They are all sure, he asserts, that they are descended from' chiefs, and their manners are ruled ac-. cordingly. Take shelter in any hut on the mountains. and you will be greeted as if its inmates had been longing to see you. This will not be due to the fact that you s<s in prosperous; indeed, you would Ite even more graciously welcomed if you were in rags. Nor is their courtesy only exhibited when they are hosts. Once when I was exploring the Burren of Clare a ragged old woman seated by the wayside accosted my equally ragged driver. "Excuse me, sir." she said, "but did you hapiien to meet a loaf on the road? Deed then, ma'am.” said he, bowing respectfully, "and I'm sorry I did not." ’’Who was she?" 1 asked him when we bad driven out of her bearing. “ 'Deed then, and I don’t know." said he. “ 'Tis some poor soul that has lost her loaf and will be goin’ to bed hungry tonight.” On another occasion an aged man. clad in knee bn-eebes and a swallowtail coat, addresstai me as I was climbing a path in Connemara. "I am tbinkin', sir,” said be. "that you are Mr. John Blake.” "Well, sir," said I. "you are thinking wrong.” "Well, sir," be answered solemnly, "says 1 to myself as I saw you come up the side, that is Mr. John Blake, and if 'tis not. says I to myself, 'tis a fine upsthandin’ young man be is, whoever he is." Now I am convinced that be knew I was a stranger, but was not that a charming way to suggest that I should sit beside him on the low ferny wall and discuss the ways of the world? — BORROWED PLUMES. How an American Became a Man of Mark In Rumlb. Andrew I». While's first diplomatic experience was as an attache at St. Petersburg at the time of the Crimean war. The war brought to Russia many American adventurers. “One man who came out with sui>erb plans," Mr. White says, "brought a militia colonel's commission and the full uniform of a maj >r general. At first he hesitated to clothe himself in all bis glory, and therefore went through a process of evolution, beginning first with part of bls uniform, and then adding more as his courage rose. "During this process he became the standing joke of St. Petersburg, but later, when he had enierg<-d In full and final splendor, be became a man of mark; indeed, so much so that serious difficulties arose. Throughout the city are various corps de garde, and the sentinel on duty before each of these, while allowed merely to present arms to an officer of lower rank, must, whenever he catches sight of a general officer, call out the entire guard to present aims, with the beating of drums. "Here our American was a source of much difficulty, for whenever any sentinel caught sight of bis gorgeous epaulets in the distance the guard was instantly called, arms were presented and drums beaten, much to the delight of our friend, but even more to the disgust of the generals of the RusA I'UMle. He—Here’s a puzzle for you. SheLet's have it. He—Give a woman a bunch of photographs to examine, Including one of her own, which one will she look at the longest, and why? Mew Tooth In nn Old Saw. “Then he doesp’t find that ‘all the world loves a lover?' ” “Not exactly. His experience is that all the world guys a lover.” I Pedantry and taste nre as Inconsistent as gayety and melancholy.—Lavater.

HAY FEVER ABOLISHED. Medical Science Discovers a Curt for This Malady bv Breathing Nyomtl. Among the important addition* made t) medical science in recent years, none ia more noticeable than ! the positive announcement of a cure ! for hay fever. Exhaustive expert-| mentt with Hyomei prove that this treatment will prevent the attack* of hay fever if used for two or three weeks before the annual appearance of the’disease, and it may be relied upon, if used faithfully after the sneezing and other annoying symptoms have appeared, to relieve at once and afford a perrna-1 nent cure. Stomach dosing cannot cure hay 1 fever A change of climate is the 1 only treatment that gives any re-' lief, and Hyomei, which medicates the air you breathe, acts npon this prim iple. giving in your own home a climate as healthy as that of the I White Mountains or other health ' resorts The complete Hyomei outfit cost* | but |l, fextra bottles 50 cent*.
