The Chicago Ledger is the leading story
paper of the west. 1t contains stories writ
ten by some of the best writers of the day.
It's present subscription price is S1.50 per
year, but its publishers announce their inten-
ton TO advance it to $500 after Jan
uary 1st. We will furnish the NoRTHERNER
and the Ledger for $3.50 per year, payable
strictly in advance. Now is good time to
secure good story paper cheap.
We have not taken the trouble to publish
a regular clubbing list, but would simply say
that we will club the NoRrHERNER with any
of the leading publications of the country,
and will give our subscribers the benefit os
the lowest clubbing rate that can be obtained
anywhere, making nothing for ourselves in
| the operation, except that payment must be
| made in advance for both the NoRTHERNHR
and the paper with which it is clubbed.
We recently sent statements of subscrip-
tion accounts to numbers of our subscribers
who were in arrears Many have responded
to the notices and have paid their bills. To
such we return thanks for their promptness.
There are still others to hear from, and we
trust they will square mp with US speedily.
We are not accustomed to call attention to
these matters in the columns of the NOR
THEBNEB, and hope it will not be necessary to
do so again.
The contract for printing 10000 tax re-
ceipts has been let to the South Haven Mes
senger. The several bids received were as
follows: Decatur Republican, SIS; Bangor
Adcance GA; Hartford Day Spring, $50;
South Haven Messenger, 1880; TRUE Nor
THERNER, SlS; Courier, $3.50. We don't
suppose Bro. Dean ever INDUCES in the per-
nicious practice of smoking, but we wouldn't
give him "twofer" for his profits. The
highest bid made would afford but a living
profit. We know whereof we speak, having
done th9 same work several times.
On Saturday last officer Merwin of De-
catur, under instructions from Under Sheriff
Van Auken, and on complaint of a couple of
Covert chaps, pulled a pair of precious
rascals who were travelling through the coun-
try swindling such parties as were willing to
risk their money on another mans game.
They were brought to Paw Paw and compel
led TO disgorge to quite a number of different
parties whom they had victimized, and to pay
the costs of their capture, some $85 or 800
in all, after which they were allowed to
depart, sadder and wiser if not richer.
