GOOD CHEER
Ghe MiaMe5uiy c@esistei.
TWO PAPERS for the PRICE of ONE

GOOD CHEER is handsomely printed
~ monthly model family paper of 10 pages. 1t
Is lul of bright things, suited to the tast of old
and young: not sensational, but interesting and
instructive. 1t is carefully edited, and has
among Its contributors some of the best writers
OF the country.
Those of our subscribers who pay arrearages
to the time OF making their remittance and Tor
one year in advance will receive Good Cheer
fIee. 1t will also be given Tree to new subscrib.
crs who pay II years subscription in advance.
Till further notice payment of arrearages and
for our paper till January |, 1855, will be neces-
sary to secure Good cheer.
We snail send statements of account to all
whom our books show to be in arrears months
or over. Those owing us for a year or more can
have the paper Tor that year and the one follow
ing that for which they are indebted to us, on
payment of 80. In cases where the year has eX-
pired and the subscriber does not renew, 81 Will
be ch Urged; in accordance with our standing an
nounCcmcut. On he first of February the pa.
pers ol those who are III arrears for n year or
more Will be stopped and collections made ut the
rate of - year.
We are endeavorng to print n paper which
shall be worth its subscription priCc-onc that
the people of the county VIII be willing to sup
port. our experience thu past year leads us TO
believe that our efforts are appreciated; and we
hope to improve upon what has been done. But,
In order to better the paper, we must have mon
ey; hence the above requests. 1t has been the
custom to allow subscriptions TO run for term
of years. This we believe to he bad policy for
all concerned. The subscriber must some time
or other meet a large bill, while tn publisher is
put to great tr ube to pay the expenses OF tur-
nishilg the paper The amount in each case Is
small, but the aggregate is large. Now, we wish,
if possible To avoid these evils of the longcredlt
system. 1t would be stlil better, perhaps, If we
adopted the plan OF stopping papers at the end
of the time paid for. This, however, might cause
inconvenience to some; but 1T seems to us that
all who wish the paper will agree with us that
their subscriptions should be paid before the
year is ont.

F M. Focc's FINANCIAL. VICTOR,

F M. FoGG's FINANCIAL VICTORY.
F. M. Fogg, of this city, and ex
State Senator George M. Dewey, of
Owosso, held joint financial dis
cussion at the latter place last week.
The newspaper accounts generally
speak in high terms of Mr.. Dewey's
ability as debater, but the Lansing
Sentinel, of which Fogg is one of the
editors, says "poor Dewey got badly
left" We have no personal knowl-
edge of the points urged by either
speaker, but Brother Fogg's state
ment is made from an interested
standpoint and reminds us of little
incident which happened in ST..
Joseph county many years ago. Sam
my Jones was the possessor Of dog
named "Watch," noted for his fight
ing propensilies, and it was great
pleasure for Sammy to discourse of
the wonderful feats accomplished and
battles won by his favorte canine.
On one occasion while discoursing to
crowd Of companions he said :
"T'other day G Josh awful great dog
came by our house, and jist as soon
as old Watch got his eye on him he
went for him, and oh how they fit.
Old Watch licked him in less than
two minutes. And then they started
and run jest as tight as they could
peeler down." AT this point Sammy
stopped to catch breath, and the
smallest boy in the crowd piped out :
(which dog was ahead2" Samuel
put on an injured air and said: "Why,
old Watch, Of course, he jumped the
fence into the door yard much as
three rods ahead of t'other dog"
We have a strong suspicion that Mr..
Fogg's financial victory won at
Owosso was somewhat similar to that
achieved by cold Watch. Lansing

Bro King, let the vote of the pes-
pie of Rush, where the discussion
was held, answer Mr.. Fogg in the
Sentinel. The discussion was on
Friday night and on Monday the pco-
pie elected the whole Republican
ticket by largely increased majority,
despite the fact that Messrs. Fogg,
Pulver and Ben. Colvin have been
doing missionary work for the fusion
party there, from time to time, all
winter.
