| streets in this city last Saturday that is
certainly the greatest curiosity Of the
| kind on record. No one who noticed the
animal ever saw anything like it before.
| Instead Of its body being covered with

| covered with wool There is no mistake
about this fact. As one bystander re-
marked. 1T looks like wool. it smells
! like Wool-by git is wool" This wool is
J about one-half inch in length. very curly
and black color. The animal is highly
priced by its owner, and would make a

The merchants Of LOganspor1. and
ether cities for that matter. are buncOed
out Of hundreds of dollars annually by
advertising fakirs. The directory fake

stereOpticon fake. the billboard fake
and a hundred other fakes are repeated
on business men year in and year cut.
and the money might as we'll be burned
UP as far as the return it brings them.
Even newspapers engage in the brnco
business. and because merchants reap
no benefit from the money expended in
fraudulent schemes. they lose faith in
advertising and denounce the whole
business. Legitimate newspaper ad-
Vertising is the only means Of reaching
the people. Il has been tested i'm
thousand ways.-LOgansport Pharos.
