trying, we fear, to add Il little to the
growth of on" town. Thinks we have
good farm, with pleasant surround
ings, and nice accommodations for
those who, unfortunately, have to con-
suit the overseer. We invite ''Fred's"
attention to the revised laws of 1884,

Two of Pages brood mares got out
of the yard at the Wheelock place the
other day and started for home. They
went down on the Cook road and at

In the future advertisements will be
excluded from our local columns. Last
week we gave up our space, largely,
to reading advertisements to the ex-
clusion of news items. Our patrons
found fault, as they frequently have
before, and with good reason. At
the head of this column we shall make
room for business notices. and there,
or into the regular advertising space,
they must go. Our circulation is now
nearly 2200, and we feel that with
such an advertising medium we can
give our patrons their moneys worth.
We shall still call attention OCCASION
ally to the advertisements of our Gus
TONERS, but for such notices we shall
make no charge.
