The Chicago Public Library acknOw-
lodges the receipt OF the WEEKLY
HERALD in a very complimentary
note, and hopes that it will still con-
tinue It's weekly visits. We shall be
very happy to give the thousands OF
frequenters Of that great institution
reliable information from this to that
far away section of the Union.
The example set by Mr.. Beaudry, in
offering a large number of eligible
residence lots, at low prices, and al-
lowing payments to be made in small
mOnthly instalments, Is one that COM
mends Itself to every property holder
In town. What we want Is citizens,
and the surest way to bring them here,
and make them permanent, Is to place
good homes within their reach.

what good that will do him. Certainly
no more than one woman could be in

What has appeared in the HERALD
of such mediocre merit, as to warrant
the Express in claiming it. Good God
forgive us If we have so insulted our
readers as to capture an article from
that paper? Will the Express please
pick out those articles in the HERALD
which it claims, and relieve US from
the responsibility of fathering them.
Maybe the Express man refers to ad-
vertisements.
