Frank Lyster, genialJ. p. OF jamestown, |
is the biggest man in that country To say |
he is a digger man than old Grant," would |
be no Boosting at all. May his shadow never
grow less. Get him on the sunny side of |
politics and why not send him to Madison? A |
good many ordinary legislators could sit in |
his shadow.

Henry Trenary, son of Philip Treuary, of
Platteyille, moved last Winter to Pomeroy,
Iowa. When the great Tornado came along
few weeks ago, it completely demolished his
house. Himself and wife were in the house at
the time. Mrs Trenary fortunately escaped
with slight injury, but Mr. Trenary had piece
of his scalp, four inches square, on the right
side of his head, torn up and laid over in a
flap, exposing the skull. He was attended to
by a skillful surgeon, and is now visiting |
friends at Plattevile, but will carry the marks |
OF that tornado to his grave.-E1.
1t is possible that number OF persons in |
this county may have to pay fine OF. 80 per
cent. or U. S. licenses. There are some who |
have not paid for their licenses and if they |
fail to do so before the 1st of June the law |
adds the penalty. The collector for this dis |
trct either through stupidity or meanness,
having failed to put his advertisement in the |
Herald, where it would be looked for more |
than in any other paper in the District by bus |
mess men, the necessity of taking out or re- |
newing license has not been brought to their |
attention. Possibly this paragraph may be a
reminder to one or two and save them few |
dollars, as we suppose if the amount is mailed |
before the LIST of June it would be counted as |
paid.
We have before us a small book of only |
420 pages costing only 81 so that has more |
useful statistical information in il than any |
other book of the size we ever saw 1t is a |
book compiled by the Librarian of Congress,
who being custodian of the largest collection |
of books in America, has the means of knows
ing what the great public resorting to such |
stores Of knowledge most want, has collected |
these wants into this book. Its title is the |
American Almanac and Treasury of Facts
1t can be had by addressing 1.-THE American |
News Company" New York, safely enclosing
$3.50. We have no interest in its circulation
other than its great value in giving the people
facts by which they can correctly inform
themselves, and not be deluded by ignorant or
tricky politicians
