1878. MONEY SAVED 1878.
VAN MATTRESS
Newspaper Club Agency.

In presenting our 'Club list for 1873
we would call attention 10 the reduced pri-
ces. as well rs to the many other induce
ments which we offer 10 nll who desire to
sare money. Wedo not propose 70 oiIer any
publication at los, Whatever others may
do; hut we do propose to furnish the publi-
cations in our list for less money than is
charged by the publishers for single sub
scriptions Suppose YOU wish for 1878 to
subscribe for Harper's Magazine, lS4l, Cen
trail Law Journal, ISL, Frank Leslle's Illus
trated Newspaper, (Sll, Gleasons Pictorial,
(S2), Petersons Magazine, (S2) the lot will
cost you direct, Just Sl7,00 and you have
besides five letters to write, five money or
ders 10 buy, and five separate risks to run.
Now look ut our prices below; all re ask for
the same periodicals is Sl4,S5a and you have
only one letter TO write, one money order
to buy, and your papers and magazines will
come promptly, direct from ne publishers,
Just the same us II you had ordered them
yourself.
We cannot undertake to furnish any pa.
per published in the United States ''at reduced
prices" rs some Of our brother clubists do,
for we know full well il cannot be done
without loss, First, there nre many thous-
ands, and next, many Of them offer no dis
count to agents or to any body else but TO
accommodate our patrons, iftheywant amy
paper not found in our list, 1t may be in
cluded in their order by giving us the adj
dress OF the publisher and RENTING the
price,
We do not propose to offer any publica-
ton at loss, whatever Others may do.
Our plan is first to acknowledge all remit
tances and orders, however small, immedi.
ately by return mail, and to forward all
subscriptions TO the several publishers by
the next mail after receipt OF The order
in order to do this, we are obliged to charge
our patrons a little more than we pay.
This plan will, we trust, give much better
satisfaction than to hold on till some ten or
a dozen subsCrbes for an individual paper
have accumulated, as is now the practice
OF many club agents who offer subscrip-
tions so low that they cannot remit for
single one, without lOss-as registration
fees, money order fees or cost OF draft is
about the same on one dollar as on fifteen,
and none OF us consider il safe TO send
money in ordinary letters. Our prices are
as low as any responsible agent can afford.
MORE Tnis.-Below are two columns OF
figures, The name OF the paper or Maya
zinc is given, and the LIST column gives the
regular publishers price. The End column
gives the price at which we propose to
furnish the newspaper or magazine.
1t is certainly an object to save money
in these times, and it is easy to see by our
list chow tits done" Read the list care
fully, and il any particular paper you want
is not there, write to us, and we will give
prices. All postage is prepaid in full by
publishers.
SPECIAL NoTIcE.-Send no money except
by Draft, Money Order, or Registered Let
ter. Make your selections and order carly.
Address all orders to

season. Some of the farmers think
that corn planting will soon be in

ger had the finest looking school in
the county, We positively deny the
assertion, Our school, in charge of
Prof. Reed Yeager, is not only the
finest looking, but We think, the best
behaved school in the county.
The Literary Entertainment, CIV
en- last Friday night by our school,
proved to be quite a success. The
Van Matre Band was in attendance
and discoursed very sweet music.
The protracted meeting, conducted
by Rev. Trippett, closed last Thurs
day night-being in session nearly
two week. We hope there was some
good done. There is an idea preva-
lent, which is antagonistic to all
truth, that if a person is a Metho.
dist, he is the person; and he is, un.
doubleday bound for the "far.off
happy hunting ground"

climate, with Its sudden changes of
temperature, rain, wind and sun
shine often intermingled in asingle

dren, friends and relatives are so
frequently taken from us by neglect
ed colds, half the deaths resulting
directly from this cause. A bottle of
B6schec's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will
prevent serious sickness, a large doc

Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group or
any discase'of the Throat or Lungs,
its success is simply wonderful, as

some two miles east of West Column

we can learn, grew out of some trou-

while engaged in a shooting match.

Van Matre was badly cut about the

were able to leave the battle field
