thankfulness we make the an.
nouncement that this issue Of THE

new home on Main street opposite
the Garrett County Bank.
To our hosts of friends and we'll

Portable and beautiful home.
With the continued cooperation
of our rapidly increasing number
of patrons we hope in the near
future to give them a 10-page
paper for the present subscription

We had hoped to adorn the head
of this column with picture of the
building, but in this we were dis
appointed and will be compelled to
forgo that pleasure until some
future, though not distant day.

1t is astonishing how many sa-

saloons IN New York. Nine thou

debauching and degrading public

on the corners know or care about
the American Republic. They read
the New York World, most of them,

quite a good deal as being one of
the tallest buildings in the city; but
a few years later the Times erected
a building which laid the Tribune
in the shade, and now the World

sold as high as $1,000 per hundred
pounds, but calico sold for so cents

cents, sugar 80 cents a pound, and
all other things in proportion. The
currency then was all paper, and a

The Wisconsin legislature now
In session will be an important one.
A United States Senator is to be
elected and there will be changes
in the laws, and measures of i'm.
portance to the people upon many
subjects will come before the law
makers.
The Legislature is solidly Demo
cratic. 1t is important, therefore,
tsat seekers after information as to
the workings of the body read
newspaper that will print facts re-
gardless of their effect upon the
partisan majority. The State Jour
nal promises faithful and full
account of the proceedings of the
Legislature, and especial attention
will be devoted by the paper this
year to the important matters that
will come up for consideration. 1t
will print the news and discuss facts
and present opinions fearlessly.
Order The State journal for the
session, and remit $3.50 to The
State Journal Printing Co., Madi-
son. The session will probably last
four months, which gives low
