who has brewcd beer In this city for over q
quarter of o century, seems to have lost aone
Of his science Of the mysteries OF brewing,
which has earned for him wide reputation,
akin to prestige. It has been our good for

his old establishment on Marals street, and

that it is splendidly brewed and from the
finest hops, Although not so strong as tager,
city beer if fine tonic for convalescents In
when properly brewed, recommend it on
account OF its iightness. Besides it has the
advantage over lager Of being cheaper and Of
keeping an unlimited time without losing it's

TAKE Your County PApER.-Do tho
city papers say anything in regard to your
own county? Nothing. Do they contain
notices of your schools, meetings. churches,
improvements and hundreds of other local
matters Of interest which your home paper
publishes without pay9 Not an item. Do
they ever say word calculated to draw
attention to your county, ard aid in ita
progress and enterprises Not d line. And
there arc men who take such contracted
views of this matter, that'unless they arc
getting as many square inches Of reading
matter in their own as they do in a oity
paper, they think they are not getting the
worth of their money. 1t reminds me of q
man who took tho largest pair Of boots in
tho box because the price was the same as
the pair, much smaller, that fitted him.
