A Gentle Hint.

The IELEGRAPH-CO is sent this
week to large number of people who are
not regular subscribers. Some OF them bOr-
row it of their neighbors and defraud the
printer of the results of his labor. To such
we say, subscribe. 1t costs only 3 cents
a week and you will enjoy reading it NOR e
and feel better all around.
Some Of the people who receive this pa
per this week do not take Kenosha coun-
ty paper. but take dollar weekly from
some other county because it is a little bit
cheaper. That is not fair to Kenosha
County papers nor to yourselves. The
TELEGRAPH COURIER is the official paper
of Kenosha County and will publish Off
cially the Proceedings of the County Board
this year Every taxpayer wants to know
how the county affairs are managed. Sub
scribe for this paper and inform yourself
about your own county and its interests.
For all who want to take the paper while
the Proceedings of the County Board are
being published we offer the paper for IS
cents for months. Try it while and see
if you do not want to become regular sub
scriber. We offer both this paper and the
Detroit Free Press for months for 60 cents.
For other combination offers read our
! Especial Announcement" on the 9Th page.
By taking advantage of one of those offers
you will be able to get your county paper
as cheaply as any outside paper and get
just as much good reading besides support
ing the paper which advocates the interests
of the tax payer of Kenosha. The TELE-
GRAPH COURIER subscription list is now
/ larger than any paper ever had in Keno
sha County, but that is not en- ugh. Every
family in Kenosha County ought to sub
scribe and pay for a Kenosha County paper.
Try it.

University School Items.

Through the kindness of Mr.. Cass, who
has given us a column in the TELEGRAPH
COURIER, for g Varsity School Items" until
the next term of our school year. when we
hope to get our own little paper going. We
are enabled once more to put our produc-
tions in literature before the reading public
and to give vent to ideas which made Ye
Haambuqqe a gem in its way, and gave it
rank among the leading magazines of this
continent. If the whilom readers of that
paper are inclined to wonder at it's sudden
disappearance from their homes, we bid
them calm their wondering feelings, while
we whisper to them the cause of the appar
ent demise. Ye Humbugge was growing too
popular. The supply could not keep pace
with the demand. The editors spent most
of their spare moments in wrapping and
mailing copies for distant parts of the
world. In consequence of the increasive
burden of work, the first staff of editors was
compelled to resign, and to seek positions
which were easier; one assumed the charge
of freight office in which he did the work
of three men and of twenty five locomotives;
one went to Washington to assist the Presi
dent in keeping the wheels of the govern
ment machinery we'll oiled, and to give him
an occasional wrinkle In the latest style OF
shirt collars; the third is with us now, and
is growing fat since his resignation. Thus
our readers can see that our paper could
not be run until we had chosen men to take
the places of the former able corps OF
editors. 1t was a task requiring consid-
cradle labor and thought, but now we are
happy to say that we have found suitable
men-men, whose characters are unblem-
ished, whose veracity is unimpeachable
and whose power in literature is as limitless
as the sunny smile Of Ocean, or as the
pocket in our grandmother's brocade gown
To them we intend to commit the care OF
the tender nursing Ye Humbugge, in the
full confidence that she will grow into a
"bonnie winsome thing"
Tt is always pleasant to welcome old
friends and to talk over old times On
Thanksgiving eve when Joe. Minty came
M to see us, we felt as one feels when a
valuable volume, which he supposed lost,
has been returned to his library. A trip
to Australia, and wild adventures with
o'possums, have by no means changed the
Young man. and he is the same Minty.
