j. w. Hosterman of Woodward,
has purchased the Enterprise bakery
of William Romig in this place and
took possession Of it on Monday
morning. Mr.. Hosterman has had
seven years experience in the trade,
during which time he worked for
some of the best firms i'll this State.
But his bread talks for itself and is
the best recommendation that can
possibly be given him. Try it.
"Why don't you publish paper
like that ?" said n merchant, throw
ing down n copy of n city daily.
"Why don't you advertise like tha6"
said the publisher of the county
paper, as he turned to full-pSge
advertisement that brought TO the

Farmers everywhere are wa1Fed
to be on the lookout for the Ruq-jan
thistle. 1t is n monster that may
well be dreaded. A single plant
which is on exhibition in Minneapolis
measures five feet across and stands
five feet high. This mass is globular
in form and races before the winds
of the Dakotas, scattering COL"
along in it's track Either NJ -
u,.,e out { ..ls weed, or it win driv'
him out, is the opinion of those who
have studied it.
A number of our readers have
asked us what had become of the
little Herman boy of near Bellefonte,
of whose cruel treatment we pub
lished an account ut the time he was
discovered. In reply we will say
that he was not able to appear
against his tormentors Mt the last
term of Centre county court, and
the case was postponed to the April
term. Meanwhile the beasts who
tried to torture him to death Ian
guish in Jail.
The power of song is illustrated in
a custom on the railroads of north
ern Florida. Whenever train
crosses the Suwanee River the con
ductor announces the fact in each
cur. If any passenger has never
heard "Way down upon the Suwanet
River" this particularization of the
streem must seem peculiar, and the
Suwanee is like n dozen other rivers
in the same region, and these are
passed without comment from the
conductor.
The New Carlisle Qnd) Gdzett,
say: "Mr Johnson recently made
an interesting test of feeding wheat
to pigs. He had fourteen rather
NANCY pigs averaging 1876 pounds
that were running over the farm. HI
shut them up and began feeding dry
wheat. For two weeks they seemed
ut standstill and then began tt
gain. At the end of six weeks they
averaged 220 pounds. This payi
much better than selling wheat at o.
cents.
Soon after We took control of th'
PosT in 1882, we started the publica
ton of u roll of honor and we wer,
made the butt end of good man.
Jokes on account of it by our broth
er editors, who called it "a Dutcl
Snyder county custom" 1t did no
occur to them at the time that ever!
name published in the roll of homo
served as Il receipt to the subscriber
and meant n saving of the time
trouble and expense of sending th'
same by letter. Besides our roll o
honor has become almost as good a
IA certificate of honesty, and is
matter considerably looked after
Our brethren of the press are drop
ping into the custom beautifully on
by one, and the most recent conver
