There was a man in our town and he
was wonderous wise, ne then did adv
ertise. And when he saw his trade in
crease. with all his might and main, he
lower still marked every price and ad-
vertised again, and when he advertised
again his rivals loudly swore, TO see
folks rush with might and main to pat
rouiZe his store. And While they sat
in solitude and saw him custom win
that man behind the counter stood and
raked the sheckles in, he saw his for
tune rising; he took goodly lot of tin
and kept on advertising. Each day a
generous sum he'd sink, and demon
strate full plain, the more Que spends
for printers ink the greater is the gain.
Our readers are aware, that, there
have been some measures on foot, for
some time, looking to the establishment,
Of a kindergarten School, under the
management of the College, and the
School board, of Alma. These measures
eliminated last Tuesday morning IN
the opening of this School, in the Dallas
building under the charge of Miss Mary
Lockwood, young lady, of rare ac-
complishments, who makes specially
of this line of work. The attendance
was such that every little chair con-
tanned living specimen of the genus
homo" in miniature, each eager, and
expectant, presenting very interesting
spectacle. The ease and grace with
which Miss Lockwood addressed her
self to the task thus presented 10 her
gives promise Of great success.
DR.. Carpenter, the county physician
for Arcadia township. at salary Of
Sl7.0O year, has had two patients In
Alma, Mrs. Kimble and Will Myers.
1t has always been a query bow a
physician can furnish service and med
icine for the poor in township at this
price, but the manner in which these
cases arc claimed to be handled the
query ceases. In the first place it is an
imposition for the county to accept bios
at such prices, secondly, physician
must consider his services worthless TO
make such bid and thirdly, il our
county can not properly care for the
sick, give up the job and let each COM
munity through charity attend to it.
This mode of treating the poor is cer-
tainly rotten and should be abolished.
