ORA WING TRADE.


The ADVANCE dies not see Why
Worthiugton cannot he made trade
centre. and draw trade extending ont
from 80 to 50 miles in every direction.
No, Bro. Miller, it can't. for Siblpy,
with the business she is building np,
will march right up to within five
miles OF your own door, and, by the
superior bargains offered, walk away
with the prize. The forces on this side
will be hard to push back.-Sibley Ga
zette.
The claim of the Gazette is good and
We learn from many farmers On the
south side of the county that it is true.
A great deal Of trade from the south
tier of townships in this county goes to
Sibley, probably because S,blry reaches
for it and gives such bargains as to
draw it. This will continue until our
merchants combine in some way to
E1w and hold trade. AS outlined in the
ADVANCE some weeks ago. a policy
can be adopted, rs cited at the time
from Wisconsin town, to draw and
hold trade by buying anything which
Garmers have to sell and giving them
goods in return at fair rates and some
times even at losing rates. making it
up when times are more flush. In
short we mean this: Combine and
mako WOrthington a market tor any
thing and everything that is market
able. and furnish the farmers with
whatever they need in the line Of goods.
But the remarks to which the Gazette
alludes related to another and larger
class of houses than those dealing in
general merchandise and bidding for a
limited trade. Our point was and is
that WOrthingt0n is now An excellent
distributing point and that when the
Fargo and Bismarck roads are built it
will be the best distributing centre in
Southwestern MINES ota, much better
than Mankato
1t is All excellent point for
men of capital doing business in
special lines to open up and reach out
as'er large area of country. With a
road now to the southwest, to the west,
to the northeast and the southeast, and
next year to the north and the north

THE COUNTY PRINTING.

We are just beginning to comprehend
the Consideration which the loss of
the county printing threw into the
camp Of the little handful Of m"urnrrs
who are endeavOring to bolster up the
scrofulous ANT dying Record. We are
assured that it hurt them rs much as
losing an election and that they have
held meetings night after night. three
Of them in buckram, to cOndOle with
each other. lick each others sores and
rub each others shins. We learn that
stood the Dude Bloom up in one corner
of the Record office. Il perfect picture
of i frrked radish, and then marched
up solennly and wof"lly, tw" Of them,
and licked his sores. There is i story
somewhere about the dogs licking the
sores of Lazarus. but in this Case the
Lazarus es licked the sores Of the dog.
We hear also that they have secured
the opinion of their lawyer, Attorney
Clark, that the bid of the ADVANCE
and the resolution of the Board letting
the printing to us is not worth any
thing. Can this he because there was
no revenue stamp on the bid? Or can
it be because the resolution of the
Board was not properly signed, sealed
and "swOre to" in the presence of q,
Notary?
Some one says it is because a con-
tract is not binding. without consider
alton. Well, we paid two dollars to
bind the bargain on our part, that is, Il
copy of the ADVANCE for one year to
be filed in the county Office, and the
county on its part agrees to do is the
very valuable service, perform the very
valuable labor. of furnishing us the
copy and designating our paper as the
official paper Of the county If this is
not Il valuable consideration on both
sides, then We are no lawyer.
So far rs the tax-list is concerned.
the publication Of that is merely the
service OF Il summons by publication
and if the man who makes the service
does not choose to charge for it, that
IS nobody's business but his own.
And We want to say. right here that
If the officer does not charge for serving
a summons, such charge cannot be
taxed up among the costs. If we print
the tax-list for nothing, the county has
no right to collect twelve cents from
each delinquent for publication.
Please remember this when you come
to pay your taxes.

TIE DULUTH ROAD.

4 meeting was held at Marshall the
other day and it was decided to submit
Il proposition to vote $4,000 bonds to
the Duluth road. The Messenger says:
1t wonld give us wheat market rs

Opr view of the matter is that

difference in temperature between
Rochester and Ripon, for instance
Ripon might be sweltering under a
south wind, or no wind, and Rochester
in July. might be enjoying a breeze
from the north. AS to establishing an
equilibrium, that is just what Nature
IS doing all the time. The currents oi
air rushing past to keep up the equilib
rum, are what we call breeze, or gale
or storm.
If the equilibrium were rot disturbed

there would be a dead calm and tn,
