"A Rare Bit of News'' is the from
tispiece i'm the October number of Ar

like nii its predecessors, is well worthy

The low terms of subscription places
the magazine within reach of all, and
tends largely to cause its great circula-
tion. II. s. Arthur & Son, publishers,

The last number of the present vol
ume of st. Nicholas shows no decrease

have marked this periodical from its

amusing, its mon thly appearance is
hasley. with universal delight by the
little folks, to whom it is a well nig'.
inexhnustiblc source of pleasure and
contentment. Now Is the time to sub
scribe for the coming volume of 1888.
Unusually varied and interesting are
the contents of the October Century,
which doses the first year of the mag
azine under the newman The most
noticeable perhaps, are the two p,r-
traits of Abraham Lincoln, never be-

his first nomination for President.
The Century always aboun,,s II, inter
est and Importance, and Is worthy Of
the place it has attained in the fore
most ranks of periodicals.

J. j. Andrews, of Yates township,
left ut the STAR Office, one day last

formed. Another stem, about nine
inches long, boft seven crab apples of
the Hyslop variety. There were also,
two splendid specimens Of Maiden
Blush. Taken all in all, 1t Is nice

farm, and proves conclusively that ap-
pies can be produced in Lake county
