BRICK.

BRICK
Col. Matson. of Peoria. Ill.,, writes to
r. r. Miller, secretary of the Board of
Trade, as follows:
I saw Hiram Pearce, one of the
largest brick manufacturers in this
part of the country and l told him
about WorthingtOn, and he is going
out there to look at the place and if the
prospects are good he will locate his
son there with large brick yard it the
brick can be sold. Also q Mr.. Smith
wants to come out ana look for lOca-
ton for clothing house. Many others
give encouragement Of going out to see
the country, and it half buy who prom

Speaking of other "specimen bricks,''
! the Colonel says:
Give my regards to all and say to the
! ADVANCE man that l am very much
pleased with his paper, us he gives the

stands on his own bottom.
TO THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
! Auditor Z. S. Mills last week handed
the report of the Board of Audit to the
Record instead of to the ADVANCE,
which il the official paper Of the coun-
ty. This is on a par with his refusal to
give notices to the sheriff who is the
proper officer to serve them. He said in
your presence, at the last meeting of
the Board, that he would give the
! ADVANCE enough of it, meaning that
lac would string out the Annual State
ment to ali unnecessary length. Now
! these are not matters in which men
should vent either personal or politi-
cal spite. They are purely questions
of duty, and we hope the Board at the
next meeting will give definite instruc
lions to their Clerk rs to how. he IS to
prepare his copy and to whom he shall
give it for publication.
"TOO LOW"
The 1mbecile Dude of the Record,
Robert J. Walker Bloom, concludes in
his last paper that this newspaper con-
troversy is ''too low" While he was
assailing men in their family relations,
in their personal habits. in their dress.
III their personal appearance, and in
every other vile and indecent manner,
it was ''such fun" 1t was not t'too

imbecile wretch gets Il dose or two of
his own medicine, it becomes ''too low
AS Lincoln used to say. it reminds us
OF little story. Little Jakey Gal
braith, down east, went out to farm
with his mother. Jakey tackled the
big dog in the yard. The dog wooded

ed to quit. Then the dog wooded Ja-
key ont to the barn and all around the
straw stack and Jakey began to cry.
Finally, Jakey got away and managed
to get into the house, when he gravely
remarked to his mother, "Jakey's got
enough of dog"
So it's ''too low,' is it? That re-
minds us of a story, as Mr.. Lincoln
used to say:
a soldier left the camp one night and
after while called to the other boys,
Say, I've caught Tartar.'' The bows
said, "Why don't You bring him in.'
'lIe wont let me-" said the braggart.
4 GREAT DAIRY STA TIE.
Coz. McGlincy, Of Elgin, Ill.,, the
distinguished dairyman, was interview.

porter on his way to the Mankato Con.

hits in it's day, but never one whic,,

the more they try to get it off,
