"StOp MY Paper"

After you get angry and stop your
paper, just poke your finger into water,
pull it out, and look for the hole. Then
you will know how sadly you are miss
ed. A man who thinks a paper can
not thrive without his support ought to
60 off and stay awhile. When he
comes back half his friends will not
know he has gone, and the other half
will not care cent, while the world at
large Kept no account of his movement.
You will find things that you cannot
indorse in every paper. Even the b.
BILE is rather plain, and hits some hard
raps If you were to get mad and burn
your Bible, the hundreds of presses
would still go on printing it, and when
you stop your paper and call the editor
names, the paper will still be published,
and, what is more, you will read it on
the sly.
The above is taken from an exchange.
Our experience in this matter goes
little further. We never had man
get mad and stop the SITTER that we
did not get two new ones in his place.
rrS.
The same principle. applies also to the
local advertiser. Somebody gets mad
and withdraws his advertising. He is
the one that suffers not the paper, the
latter never knows the difference. II
the h Die is Looked for at all it can no
more be seen than the one you made in
the water with your finger. No man
that does business can afford to keen
his name out of his local paper, and
whenever he does he is the sufferer and
not the paper. The local paper goes
into the families of its own and sur
rounding towns and is read by man,
woman and child. And the name of
the merchant or business man who
keeps standing cad" soon becomes a
household word, and when ANYTHING is
wanted in his line his name as natur-
ally comes up as water runs down HILL
On the other hand the man who does
not keep his name before the public, in
his local paper, the best medium in the
world, is soon forgotten and is not
known at all to the general public out
side of narrow limits encircling his place
of business He is the sufferer.
These brief remarks are made in the
interest of the general public. The
SITTER is not soliciting advertising. !
Look us over and see if you think it
necessary. And further, if you don't
want to advertise keep out This is a
free country. Glory hallelujahl "lf|
any man is unclean let him be unclean
still" Nobody cares. Certainly the
SITTER doesn't.

Now there were others in the land
who were heavy Of heart, and they

among those who were willing to COM

her come to the land Of Thomhnson,
and she was accompanied by hand

TowNsHEND, ApRIt 26-About 2
o'clock this afternoon fire was dis.
covered in Mrs. Wilson's barn at the
north end of the Baptist church. A
general alarm was at once sent ont,
but before anything could be done
the barn was mass Of flames, which
soon enveloped the Baptist church,
from this the devouring element siezed
the Seminary building and from that
to the barn of meichaut Holland ard
then his store building and residence
combined. The next to succumb to
the destroyer was the Evans Hotel
and barn, then the dwelling of Silas

was the small drug store building and
then the brick residence OF Mrs.

stayed.
1t was only by strenuous efforts the
fire was prevented from going up
street, the old Kenyon drug store
building catching several times.
The loss is estimated at from $12,-
600 to SIS, 900. The church was in
sured for $4,000, Holland for 50, 500,
the hotel for 1900, the Clark resi-
dence partially insured.

rive until the fire was under control
A COW was burned in the Wilson
barn. The movable effects of the
Seminary were mostly saved. Con-
siderable of the goods in the Holland
store were saved, also much of the
furniture from the hotel and other
buildings.
Counting barns fifteen buildings
were burned. The fire originated
from burning brush in the rear of the
Wilson barn, and was first discovered
by boy, who was on the mountain.
