Whatever may be said about the
publications of Rev. Irl r. Hicks
by those who do not fully under
stand the facts, there is no deny
ing the truth that his paper and
Almanac have come to stay. His
splendid journal, Word and Works,
is now entering it's tenth year,
largely increased in circulation and
in every way improved, until it de-
serves the national reputation it
has attained. His 1897 Almanac
is now ready and is by far the
finest and most beautiful he has
yet issued. 1t contains l08 pages,
including cover artistically printed
in colors, and is filled from back
to back with just what is wanted
in every shop, Office and home in
America. One feature of the AL
manac for 1897 is series of IL
original, beautifully engraved star
maps, with explanatory chapters,
which could not be bought for less
than five dollars in any work on
astronomy. AS Mr.. Hicks has so
correctly and faithfully warned
the public of coming droughts,
floods, cold waves, billiards., tor
nadoes and cyclones, in the years
passed, aside from the other var
ried and splendid features of his
paper and Almanac, these con-
siderations alone should prompt
every family to subscribe at once
for 1897. The Almanac is only
25cts a copy. Word and Works
is one dollar year, and a copy of
the fine Almanac goes as a prem.
ium with every yearly subscrip.
ton. Write to Word and Works
