&c Office this winter and planked down
the hard cash than in any winter that
we can recall, and this, too, without any
effors on our part aside from burning a
good deal of midnight oil to produce
something each week worth reading.
The Ochsner Hardware company has
just got in a new shell loading machine
which loads shells much more rapidly
than by hand and more accurately. The
firm has also got in a supply Of the cele-
brated S. s. powder. This is acknowledge
ed to be the best wood powder made and
its penetration is simply wonderful.
The business man who has never ad-
vertlsed-that is, who has never adver-
tised for a period long enough to see if
it would do good-can never know what
he loses by not advertising. But il he
has advertised a sufficiently long time
and in an attractive manner. and then
stops for a while he can easily see what
he loses.
A large number have already taken
advantage of our offer to furnish the
GRAPHIC and the Chicago Weekly In.er
Ocean or the Northwestern Agriculturist

in position to offer and our subscribers
should take advantage of the opportunity.
Station Agent Harvey is now prepared
to furnish mileage books On the C. M. s.
st. Paul road IN any amount. Hundreds
of dollars has gone to other stations from
Kimball for the purchase of mileage
books heretofore because this station was
not supplied with them, lessening the
receipts of the Kimball station just that
much. So when YOU want a mileage
hook apply to Agent Harvey.
A Savannah drummer SAYS q drummer
who had hal a great many dealings with
the Macon lawyers went out recently to
Rosehill cemetery and amused himself
reading the inscriptions on the tomb
stones. He finally came across one that
read: Here lies a lawyer and an honest
man." Turning to his friend he said:
BILL. what made them bury those two
fellows in the same grave?"
A Detroit mother sent her boy to a
drug store for a half-pint OF port wine
and in a sealed note requested the drug
gist to write on the label P. W.-Poison.
But the kid and some fellows drank the
contents just the same. Then one Of the
lads ran home after a dipper Of water,
filled up the bottle, and the boy trotted
homeward whispering, "P. W. means
pretty weak. and if she finds it so she
mustn't blame nobody but the druggist.
Mashek's Orchestra comes here from
Mitchell Tuesday evening more for the
purpose OF advertising their organization
and a little outing than from any ex-
pectation of making any more than
expenses. But as they will bring eight
people and their expenses will be CORE
sDondingly heavy, the GRAPHIC trusts
that the people of Kimball will patronize
the entertainment next Tuesday evening
as its merits and the circumstances war
rant. The concert program will last two
hours and will be a musical treat.
The Chicago Inter Ocean, that great
Republican newspaper, has not suffered
by the recent. era of financial depression
but has gone right along adding to its
foundation stones-a large and substan.
tial circulation-with a stride that under
the circumstances is truly wonderful
At one time additions to the subscription
list were coming at the rate of 800 tt
LOO per day for the daily issue, and as
high as 1900 per day for the Weekly
Inter Ocean.
The result Of this is to place it easily
at the head of the list of great Chicago
newspapers. 1t is certainly a good, clean
family newspaper of the highest order.
Some people act as if they think tina
it does not cost anything to put a line o
type in a newspaper. 1t does, though
and if for the benefit of an individual, h
should be willing to pay for it. If II,
one else pays for it, the wner of til,
newspaper does. Space in a newspaper
the owners stock in trade. He can n
more afford to give it away than a groce
his groceries, or a h%aberdasher his haber
dashery, or a baker his bakeries. or al
oysterman his oysters. He has it 70
rent, and he can no more afford to furnis
it free than a landlord can furnish rem
free.
