| Philadelphia Times: Country pa
pers are the most useful and least
compensated of all the AGENCIES which
stamp the impress Of progress upon
villages and inland cities. Without
the aid of local newspapers local
towns are as rule, thriftless and dead
1t is common for small great men to
speak with contempt Of local news
paper, hut the village newspaper
makes more great men out of less ma
terial, more brick without straw than
any other in politics and it is the one
ladder on which men climb to local
distinction ~ the beginning OF wider
fame. The advent OF the local news
paper has always dated the Increased
thrift of the community. The local
newspaper is the lite of the locality,
the people. Not only subscribe but
pay for your legal newspaners: They
are friends and helpmateS of all
seasons.

| teemed citizens and his death is
mourned by all. He has been unwell
| for sometime but no one thought his
ailmenss ola seriogs nature; On Nom
day lie was apparently as we'll as
ever and took u drive of about fifteen
miles into the country. He was at
his drug store until the usual time
that evening and before seven o'clock

immediate cause ofhis deatl: is believ-
cd to be inflammation of the bowels:
He was a native Of Berlin, Germany
and was 20 years and months old at
the time of his death. He leaves q
wife and three small children to
mourn his loss. The funeral will be

Last Thursday evening there was
an exciting five mile race at the Nor
ris roller rink between Master Lee
Billings of Sank Centre and Master
Herbert Wilcox of Morris, for purse
of $4,000. A large number of people
; from Morris and elsewhere were
present, filling all of the space in the
rink, available for spectators. AS
soon as the race had fairly COM
menced it was seen that little Master
Herbert was matched with u lad who
is his superior in age, size and strength
and that the race was hardly an
equal one, He skated well though,
throughout the entire race, much
better than many OF his admirers had
8 expected. The Sank Centle lad gained
! half " lap upon him in the early part
: of the race and was able to hold it to
the end but better than this he could
1 not do. His repeated efforts to pass
: Wilcox resulted only in failure.- Bill
