know that there is 4 law providing
saloons to be closed, and no liquor
sold or given away on election days?
How we'll it was carried out on the
last election day, when six, seven, or

the side and back doors of one of
the saloons of this city TO receive
drink as rewards for their votes!
Wonder how the prayers aud petit

churches. Wonder where our watch

A good way for the dairy farmer,
or indeed any other farmer to do, is
to make up a list about this time,
for his yearly reading. In the news
paper line any intelligent farmer
needs good standard agricultural
journal that treats of general farm
topics. Then whichever way his
speciality runs, either IN dairying,
beef-raising, horticulture, tobacco,
or any other speciality, he certainly
needs journal especjatty devoted
to that interest. Such a paper is
always on the lockout for valuable
knowledge in that branch, aud SO
knows how To sift out the false and
save the true. Then besides these
papers, the farmer needs his outside
political paper aud his local paper.
These with "A magazine or two will
give him a good variety in the line
of wants, and will not cost him to
exceed $40 a year. A great many
farmers say they have no time to
read. That is just the reason they
DO not, az a rule, succeed better.
The man who reads is apt to be "A
thinker. The man who don't read
may be a hard worker, but he is also
apt to have a weak head, for he don't
think enough. A look over the
country will convince any man that
the most successful farmers are al
most invariably the most intelligent
ones; and You might as well think
of running steam engine without
water and fuel, as to make a man
intelligent who don't read.
Now is good time to begin to
make up your list, and we hope you
will include HoGrd'S Ddirynada.

Ole JOHNSON, living about nine

failing health for some time past
with dropsy and latterly had been

while his wife was absent from the
house a few minutes, milking COW,
and we understand his suicidal in
tent was unexpected by his family
until it had been accomplished.
The shock To them was therefore
very great and calls out much sym

moued to the scene and an inquest
held during the night, before jus
tice Arthur of this village, at which
a verdict was rendered according to

Warmth from Paper.

A single newspaper spread upon
a bed confines a layer of air under
it. and this of itself is a non.con-
tlurtor of heat. and far less of heat
escapes from the bodies OF the per
sons in the bed. at the same time
it keeps that layer of air from mo-
tion. and thus affords extra protcc
ton. Let anyone try pasting to-
ceii.cr several sheets Of common
newspapers, to form coycrlld,and
they vii! find its protection almost
as great as that of an extra closely
woven bedspread. Two or three
Such layers will equal in warmth
quite a thick comforter. They
can he pasted or fastened together
ut the edges for easy handling. aud
he kept folded in a closet for extra
cold nights. This is of great I'M.
portance to poor persons, and TO al
who have nor an abundant supply
ofwalm bedding. Anyone caught
from home in cold weather with an
insuffciency of clothing will find
much help from simply wrapping a
large newspaper, or other paper,
around any exposed part OF the
body, as over the shoulders and
back, around the limbs, over the
feet, etc. Tile same in riding
Newspapers under the blankets or
robes, II these are not OF ample
thickness, Will be useful in retain
luz warmth.
