| Notwithstanding the inclement

The Cresco Times sets avalue OF one
half cent a line on its advertising
space. Every person ought to know
the value of his own wares. We had
thought its space was worth more, but
defer to the opinion Of the publisher.
Mrs. Ida Ferris Waterman will give
an elocutionary and physical culture
entertainment at the Granger Nj. E.

We occasionly meet a farmer who
objects to the equal coinage of silver
with gold because it wouldgenrich the
owners OF silver bullion. The owners
of gold bullion being poor men and
day laborers (perhaps), no objection is
made by them to the free coinage of
gold bullion.
G. G. Wollan, student of the Lnthern
college at DEBORAH, is visiting
with Anthony Anderson and E.
Il. Thompson and families; also, so
is John Stinsland, another student of
the same college. Both are bright
young men who will make their mark
in the world.
Mcintosh & Ryan are putting in a
full and complete line of agricultural
implements including an elegant line
OF first class buggies and some excel
lent farm wagons. In plows and har-
rows their line of goods caunot be
surpassed for quality, in grain drills
and corn planters they handle only
the best.
The Novelty Plow Works have en-
plOyed an experienced, practical piow
maker who. has had twelve years ex-
perience and is a skilled workman in
that important branch of shaping aud
iempering farm implements and fitting
them for the farmers use.' This shows
that the Novelty Works means to pro-
vide the farmers with as good as the
country affords.
John McHugh has improved suffici-
entity that he was out on Tuesday to
his farm house east of town. The 5000
promised to DIR. Keith was a good in.
vestment for John, and with the
promises faithfully kept will be only
moderate compensation for the profess
sional skill of DIR. Keith and for the
benefit to Mr.. McHugh,
It's singular that the city fathers
should permit lot of wooden buildings
to be erected within the business por-
ton OF the city lmperilling the proper
ty of those who have put good brick
buildings on our streets. The result
will be to increase their rates of in
surance from to u per cent. Parties
within the bushes portion of the town
should be restricted to building of
brick or stone. Wooden rows OF
buildings should not be permitted nor
so called iron buildings which are
covering OF wooden structures and more
hazardous than wooden buildings, be-
cause the covering prevents putting
the water on the fire when within the
structure.
