A Dog with Two Tales.

EDS. News There are two sides
to all stories, dog-killing stories not
excepted. The "Johnson Resident"
who furnished the dog-killing story
for the last issue of the News showed
power of Imagination and 4 faculty
for piling up the agony which ought to
find vent in some such sensational
paper as the New York Ledger. II
facts are what the public want in this
matter, here they are: "Poor Uncle
Roswell is by no means in the poverty
stricken condition your correspondent
would indicate; like most of us, he
doubtless finds it hard in these times
to raise money readily. Besides the
daughter who is in such very poor
health that she works out all the
time for very good wages, Il fine,
well-estcemed young lady, he has
several other children in good circum-
stances, who among them surely might
have raised the money to have saved
"'the blind mans guide that he loved
almost as well as a child" In point
of fact, he loved the dog so well that
last winter he gave it away to son
in a neighboring town, but the dog
would not stay away from his old
home, and Uncle Roswell, being not
only a "hard-working, honest man, y
but law abiding citizen, saw no other
way but to have the dog killed. When
your constable went to look after the
matter, as the law ordered him to do,
Uncle Roswell himself cheerfully tied
the rope about the dogs neck and held
it while the constable turned around
the team to lead the dog away. The
clears and entreates of the aged cou.
pie" have thus far only been heard Of
through the columns of the News.
We are at vast expense every veal
to have laws enacted for our preserva,
ton, and we all agree that it is the
crying shame and great disgrace o.
our nation that our laws are so Otter
allowed to remain dead letter. Yet
when some official honestly tries t
carry them out according to the tenor
thereof, the bowling Of two-footed ours
of low degree far exceeds that Of tho
innocent quadrupeds who suffer.
In conclusion, tive hope the dollar
the man earned who killed that dos
will do him as much good" as it does
some people who dare not come on
over their own name, to willfully mis-
represent and injure an innocent per
son. CONSTABLE.

STOVES.
HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR ITY

HOW DOES 1t hap
pen that, while bust
ness generally Is SO
dull, Page is having
such a good trade ia
Stoves?
Well, we will suggest five
reasons land there are morc):
FIRST-He keeps the largest
and most complete assort-
ment to be found in the
State, comprising over IS
different kinds and numbers;
so that, when anything in
the Stove line is wanted, the
exact size, quality and kind
can there be found.
.SECOND-He guarantees ev-
cry article sold to be precise
ly as represented, or it may
be returned and the pay re-
funded.
THIRD-He is always ready
to TRADE or exchange.
Takes Lumber, Shingles,
Cedar Posts, Sugar, Grain,
Hay, Produce, Wood, Old
Iron;- in fact, almost any
kind Of plumber from a trade
dollar to a 2d-hand piano.
FOURTH-IIc keeps not On
ly new stoves, but has a very
large line of Secondhand
Stoves, many Of which are
nearly new and as sound as
when they came from the
foundry, which he is selling
at about one-half the price
of new; and Others, more
or less worn and unsound,
which he is nearly giving
away.
FIFTH-And last, though not
least, he remembers the
Printer and advertises. He
keeps the goods-hc tells
the public so-they come to
see-he satisfies them-and
they buy. Buying largely
of him allows him to buy.
largely, and consequently at
close figures, andbuying low
enables him to sell low or
exchange for what the pur-
chaser has to give in ex-
change. His exchange trade
enables him to supply the
public with a large variety
of miscellaneous goods (sec
his advertisement iii another
column), and so the wheel
rolls around, keeping trade
lively and the public salts
fed. If you doubt these
statements, call at his store
rooms, see for yourselves,
and verify all we have said
