About the best advice ever given to
the advice to quit
was that given by w. J. Florence. the
actor who recently died. He said:
IfyOu must drink, buy gallon at time and
make your wife the barkeeper. When yOu are
dry, give her II cents for drink. and when the
whiskey is gone she will have, after paying for
II, S6.75 left, and every gallon thereafter will
yield the same profit. This money she should
put away, so that when you have become al in

filed in his Office during
the month of November to the amount
Of SIT, $40 and releases recorded to the
of $23, 3l2,-a balance i'm favor
Of the debt payers to the amount Of
s, 558, (which is not bad for poor
crop wear. The Moran Herald feared
that good many of these releases
might have been made by the fore
closure of mortgages but Mr.. Nigh
says that he does not include any
such in his returns. The figures he
gives represent the bona fde payment
Of debts by those who, while paying,
still retain their property.

hey can get anywhere, while our
facilities for rapid and accurate press
work are such as to insure the prompt

in such style and at such fig
Ires as would make it unnecessary
or anyone in Allen county to send
away for such work. We feel now as
# we had about reached that point,
md we trust that anyone wanting
of any kind will come and
igure with us before giving his order
