compensation than the salary appropriated

Its Advertisements Most Valuable Feature to It's
Patrons,


Patrons,
Two farmers were not long since
discussing their local paper One
thought it had too many advertise
ments in it. The other replied :" In
my opinion the advertisements are far
from the least valuable part of it. /
look them over carefully and save at
least FIVE times the cost of the paper
each week through the business adj
vantagesI get from them" Said the
other: II believe you are right
know that they pay me well and rath-
or think it not good taste to find fault
with the advertisements, after ALL
Those mon have the right idea Of the
matter. II pays any man with a fami-
" to take q good local paper for the
sake Of the advertisement IL nothing
more. And if business men fail to
give farmers chance to read adver-
tisements in the local paper, they are
blind to their own interests, to say the
least Of it. tYou never trade with

LA Charge.
During the "iAte unplcasantnessr al
= bloody fight at Ashland, Va, the
Confederate forces, under Gen. Hamp-
ton, were pitted against the Onion
army, commanded BY General Wilson.
A regiment under General Rosser had
captured q large number Of Northern
soldiers and some valuable supplies,
when they became somewhat demora-
liked. The opposing forces were with
IN easy pistol range with drawn swords
and it was evident that victory would
perch on the banner Of the side who
made the first charge. The federal
commander was seen to be using
every effort in his power to cause his
men to advance. but they remained
still in a solid phalanx.
General Rosser rode ont in front Of
his men, fired his pistol ut the foe, aud
implored the soldiers to follow, but
with no avail. AT this juncture Holmes
Conrad, then beardless youth,
snatched the regimental colors from
the hands Of the color bearer. and
rode with lightning speed into the
enemy's lines, crying in stentorian
tones. Save your country's flag
The effect was electrical. The Con-
federates made brave and rapid
charge, and the victory was won. No
one attempted to kill young Conrad,
although a dozen officers seized the
flag. but the young soldier kept his
hold until achievements arrived, and
the enemy retreated.
That evening General Rosser sent
statement Of the facts to the President
at Richmond, the next day Private
Holmes Conrad was presented with his
commission as major.

A TIMELY WARNING.
Sent Out 70 Parents Of the Land BY the Good Women
Of Chicago

Sent Out 70 Parents Of the Land by the Good Women
Of Chicago
The good women Of Chicago are
sending out warning to parents
which ought to go to every home in
America. It is fearful to think Of
the snares that have been laid for
unwary girls by the agents of vice
in anticipation Of the Worlds Fair.
The procurer is abroad in the land,
working the country towns in person
and through the advertising columns
of the newspapers, alluring girls to
their ruin by promises Of pleasant em-
ployment in Chicago for the summer.
The revelations are appalling. "Seven
thousand liquor saloons in tho city,
says one writer, "and commercial
men now in Europe looking up hand
some girls, and all over our own coun-
try under one pretext or another, se-
curing fresh subjects for these houses
already built and occupied, and for
those projected. All known to the
police, the officers Of the law, and all
suffered to 60 on. Let parents, pastors
and Christians be alert and do what
ever Of prevention may be possible.
On no consideration let any young
girl go from any Of our towns to that
fair " without proper escort and guard
ianship. Suffer no young woman
who must earn her own living, to be
drawn to that city by offers Of work
and wages the coming season. Let
the warning go into every home in
America
