The ADVANCE presses have been
kept busy this week. We are making
a speciality of sale bills. We have
fast presses, latest styles of type and
competent workmen, and can print
anything from the size of a postage
stamp to that Of a table cloth. Y. I. +.
a call from brother E. A.. Tripp,
Of Worthington lodge No. IS, reminds
us that the brothers Of that lodge
have nearly doubled their member
ship in two years. A notice of the in
itiation of a class of twenty-five is
noticed in the monthly report of the
grand master workman.-A. o. U. w.
Guide.
An inventive genius has gotten
up continuance that ought to sell
like hot cakes, in church circles. It
is in the shape of a contribution box,
and is certainly a triumph in it's way.
The coins fall through slots of diff
ferent sizes, and all dollars, halves,
quarters and dimes land on velvet,
but the nickels and pennies drop on
a Chinese gong. It is needless to
say that it will never be popular with
the man who believes "Salvation's
free" and practices it by never patro-
nizing the contribution box.
John Swerin and Karl Lindberg,
two of Indian Lake townships young
farmers will sell their stock and farm
machinery at auction Thursday, Feb.
%, and expect to leave soon for the
northern part of the state, having
purchased some land near the town
of Brainard. We wish the boys all
kinds of success in their new loca
ton, but earnestly believe they are
making a serious mistake in leaving
Mobiles county, where crops never
fail and there are farm houses on both
sides of the road. s=%~&-
