A Michigan street man drank nine
teen glasses Of lager and a glass o.
whiskey and another of puncd, yet he
did not consider his case one OF plair
drunkenness.-He done all this be-
cause he felt mean and low spirited.
The editor of the Walkerton Visito,
came over to Tyner City to see that
ghost. He kept diligent watch fol
three mortal hours and then went
home to his virtuous couch without
seeing any ghost. Yet he is not happy
Perhaps it would be we'll for people
who buy fish which has unquesi ionably
been taken contrary to law, to remem-
Der that they become liable to prose-
cution. This word of warning is given
because some fool who has a spite to
vent on you may prosecute.
A man who has for the first time
tried the value OF advertising SAYS
he is opposed to it. He had a nice
stock Of goods on his shelves, which
the people who read THE REPUBLICAN
came in and bought, and he will now
be put to the trouble Of buying new
stock.
John Maxey the healthy looking
man of the Peru Times Sentinel, fav-
ored THE REPUBLICAN with a call on
Monday. Mr.. Maxey reports bust
ness in good condition, and his
many friends in this locality will be
glad to learn that in worldly point
Of view he is all o. X.
People who attend sociables had a
fine opportunity to indulge on Tues
day evening.-That OF the NJ. E.

fes to the value OF advertising. His
brief announcement in THE REPUBLI-

than the advertisement will cost him
for years. Like other shrewd business
men he finds that advertising is as
much necessity as goods are TO men
who want trade.
Fowler, in Benton county, is be-
coming considerable of place. Four
years ago there were only a half
dozen houses in the place, and now it
has grown to such an extent that il
has two creditable newspapers-the
Era and the Herald. The latter has
just been started and it is quite a
neat businesslike sheet.
A correspondent in language much
more emphatic than polite, wants to
know what has become of the Farm
ers' Monthly; and il Mr.. Reed intends
to furnish the Western Rural, why
don't he do It? THE REPUBLICAN

less. People who want to know con-
corning the defunct agricultural pa

their favors to II. v.Reed, Plymouth,
