HERE is what Peter Cooper said
of newspaper; "In all towns where
newspaper is published every man
should advertise in it, if nothing
more than his card, stating mis- name
and the business he is engaged in.
1t does not only pay the advertiser,
but lets people at a distance know
that the town in which you reside is
a prosperous community of business
men. AS the seed is sown so the
crop recompenses. Never pull down
your sign while you expect to do
business.

of the blushing maiden or mature
matron. In their matchmaking de
partment they have an expert cutter
and the neatest of seamtresses. Ev-
erything that they have in their i'm
mense new stock is strictly up to
date, and they aim to please one and

tisfaction to customers.
A PARTY of old students on Satur-
day night got a number of new stud
ents in tow and steered them out of
town via briar fields, swamps and
woods to secluded spot where the

selves of their rsiment which they did
in short order. The togs were turned
inside out and the boys were ordered
to get inside of them, an order they
were happy to comply with as the
chill winds were whistllng through
the tree tops. The most of the bows
took the joke good naturally but of
course did not enjoy being the first
to set the new fall styles. The
varied colors of the Innings of their
coats would have set Joseph wild
with envy.
