BEST COUNTY PAPER EYER READ
There must he something lawful
good" about the ADVANCE when scores
Of people, and scores more to boot, de-
clare it is 'the best county paper they
ever read" This is not an isolated
opinion nor a hasty one, for it has been
almost universal and kept up for five
years.
But here is another testimonial from
Lanse, Michigan:
Enclosed find 81 for the ADVANCE
for six months. Please send to the ad-
dress given below. [ find it impossible
to get along without it any longer. 1T

heads Il communication ''What to do
with the bachelors" Put 'em up in q
lottery and give the tickets away to the
girls, or lay heavy school tax on 'em
to educate other mems children. If
this don't work well, start another
newspaper and see if you can't run
| 'em OUT.
We sympathize with he'country over
! there if it IS infested with bachelors.
Grasshoppers and hard times are pretty
hard to bear, but bachelors are just yum
yum. Coal tar won't catch them, the
birds won't eat them ard parasites and
grubs only make them more lively.
But there is one thing that will bring
them. Just try a car load or two of
pretty girls.
An Ohio paper gets it mixed a little
as follows:
| Violins were invented in the year
| 1477, and were introduced into England
| by Charles H., Noble Gates, Oh. Chnei-
der and DIR. Won Bonhorst.
This is ''allee samee'' as though we
should say: 'Violins were introduced
into England by Charles H., Miller &
Smith, and other Worthington dealers.
/ D. B. Neff, compositor of the Wor-
th'ngton ADVANCE, set up two COL
umns of a county statement, full of fig-
ures, and when the proof was read
there were but two errors in the figure
work, 4 6 III place of 8, and a 3 in
place Of Il S. A compositor like that is
literally sure Of a ''sit' wherever he
goes.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Corruption in our national affairs has
the same effect on the government that
y severe Cough or Cold has upon the
human system. Political reform in the
former and DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup in
the latter case will remedy the evils.
All the Druggists sell it for Is cents a
bottle.
Worthington now haying about all
the improvements that are necessary,
IS calling for. retrenchment will, tile
ADVANCE for support. This is bust.
