so.
w. H. Mathews was the victim last
Thursday night. A crew commenced to
Lhresh his grain, but as it was not quite out
of the sweat, work was stopped after one
stack was finished, the crew and machine

At the school meeting last Monday even
ing, called for the purpose of abrogating,
repeating, annuling, rsconsidering, and
''raising Cain generally" over the school
house question, the evenings business was
brought to q sudden and final ending by a
motion to adjourn sane die, being carried
by standing vote of 26 to 5. The meet
ing was called to order at ten minutes past

There is nothing like advertising. You
can bet on it every time, and on every dog
gone occasion. In this instance it was .
Dig occasion. Charley Doty lost his dog
"Gyp," while at Donnelly, last Saturday,
and on Tuesday left notice for insertion
in days paper, offering reward of So
for the return of the dog. In less than ten
minutes after the notice was on the clip,
and before it got into the compositors
hands, Miss "Gyp' arrived home, safe and
unattended Now, TO us, it appears as if
). that So belonged to this Office, for if the
notice did not bring the dog, why did she
remain away nearly three days, and until
after the notice wss written?
w. w Griswold has been appointed To-
cal agent for the MOI thwestern Endowment
, and Legacy Association of Minnesota. The
Association is organized under the laws of
our State, and the manner of transacting
the business is somewhat similar to the sys-
tenn of insuring adopted by the secret soci-
cites The endowment certificate, how
ever, combines two important features:
protection and profit. For instance, a man
or woman, between thirty-one and forty
five, is insured for Sd 900 payable at death,
= or at expiration of 20 years; this gives to a
. person holding certificate an opportunity
Should he out1ive the term mentioned, to
Il receive the entire benefit himself. The as
s scsment is one dollar and twenty cents after
0 death, or upon the maturity of certificate
