The Worthington advance., 1878-10-24
BETTER PRICES.

BETTER, PRICES
The ADVANCE said last week that,
in The opinion Of wheat men, the price
must soon advance. A recent article
in the Chicago Tribune reviews the
whole question. The Tribune says: r.
The remedy, so far as low price is
due to an excess of supply IF wheat on
the market, is in the hands of the pro-
ducers, who can hold their wheat and
corn and oats and hogs until, in the
natural process of consumption. the
supply in the market shall have been
reduced III proportion to the wants for
consumption.
The indications are that ont only will
there be all advance in prices but that
wheat that now grades rs No. 2 will be
graded No. /. The outlook is better
for the farmers than it has been any
time since horvest.
GOOD-BY.
Thos. III. Gruelle has sold his inter-
est in the Worthington Journal and
departed this place. Since the terrible
calamity which befell the Journal by
the burning of Miller Hall (the insur-
ance on the Journal office being only
$2500) he has been heart-broken. lie
could not longer stay around the scene
Of his great loss and suffering. Little
Jack" the office boy, was sent away
Immediately after the fire, having a
sudden Call to depart and he away
which was far better.
All this brings yiyilly to mind what
has occurred since the Journal started.
Bell Il Gruellc were the proprietors.
They and their ring friends openly de-
clared everywhere that they started the
Journal to kill the ADVANCE and Bell
shook his finger ut lis and told us that
he would be living and tlourislling III
Worthington when the editor of the
ADVANCE Was gone where the wood
biue twineth." Gruelle filled the paper
with Infamous personal attacks on the
editor Of the ADVANCE and freely pre-
dictcd that some Of the ADVANCE par
ty would soon be in the pviitentiary
at saltwater.
Alas and Alas! Both Bell and Cru
ellie are gone. The place which knew
them Shall know them 10 more forever.
They shall reap the reward Of their
wickcdncss and their works do follow
them. The Congregational church lost
Il pet member in Bell and the Method
ist Church loses Il most pious (Oh, 50
pious,) Assistant Sabbath School Super
intendent in Gr"clle. Rivers OF waters
run down on both sides of our nose.

The only criminal case is that of the

mentioned the burning Of Miller Hall
and the selling Of liquor as matters

Grand jury. We, in common with all
good citizens, hope that these matters
will have Il thorough Investigation.
