Yesterday morning between two and

ing to the former gentleman and silver
watch and q pair Of trousers owned by the
latter were carried of. The doors of both
apartments had been locked by tie occu'
pants upon retiring, the keys remaining
IN the locks. The thief, who must have
been well acquainted with the house,
opened the doors by Selling the shapks Of
the keys with pair Of nipperS.
The fact that thief had been in his
apartment was discovered by Mr.. Hesrne
soon after the THEFT had been committed
and the alarm wss given. A messenger
was dispatched by Squire Ankle, who sooI
appeared at the hotel, and thorough
search Of the building and occupants wal
instituted. Mr.. Hsarne's vest was found
in the lower part of the building, near the
kitchen. but no trace Of the watches or elnt
10 the thief could be sscertsined. The mat
ter has been placed in the hands of an ex
peiienced gentleman for investigation.

Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1885-02-05

Whiteiaw Reid, OF the ~. Y. zklb-
une, says; 1.-THE local paper Is the best
paperin the world. All the city pa
peers cannot supply the place of the
home paper, No other contains the
marriages and deaths, to say nothing
OF divorces and births No other pa
per gives the time for the next ball,
picnic OF political meetingS no other
publishes the roll of honor for the
public schools; no other discusses the
affairs of the town and county, or
gives In detail the local news, which
can be obtained from no other source.
Everybody reads it, and this is why
the local paper is the best read in the
world, and the best advertising medi-
um for its circulation extant" This is
as true ~ the gospel, but there are
many people who subscribe literally
for other papers, and give the local pa
per the cold shoulder, and wonder
why it does not succeed better than it
does. The patronage given to outside
parties in the way of subscription and
job work Is just what keeps local pa
pers from improving and being what
they should be.
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1885-02-05

An Exchange says: Zone of the most
successful business men in "a neighbor-
ing city said the other day that he spent
the most money for advertising when
the people felt the poorest. This is
the time, he said, when people read
advertisements. If they find store
advertising bargains they will leave
their old places and go to a new one.
and If it is smart, will keep .hcm.
The old-fashioned business man will
find that he must do things in modern
style IL he wants to swim with the cur
rent" A moments careful consldera-
ton will convince any one that this
mans head is level. and that he is
right in his conclusions. There is more
truth than poetry in this short article,
for there are examples which prove its
correctness here i'm Grayling. The
houses which advertise are doing fair
ly, dull as it is, and the others are dy-
ing from mere mention. This applies
equally as well to professional men
IL your services are to be given for an
equivalent, or IL you have anything for
sale, II it's but chips snd saw-dust, ad-
vertise and you will find customers.
IL you do not understand how il ought
to be done, call on the AVALANCHE
and you will find our services Mt your
disposal Consultation free.
