Don't Delay.
Have you made choice of your read
ing matter next year? We are speaking
to the individuSl who is not now sub
scriber to THE ENQUIRER. Well, if you
have not, you should attend to the matter
without delay. A good paper twice-a-
week is worth more than the same paper
once-a- week, and each issue Of the TWICE
A-wEEK ENQUIRER contains almost as
much news as used to be contained in
each issue of the old weekly. People who
do not realize this fact are standing in
their own light.
Another Record Breaker.
Mr.. w. E. Harrison Of the Fodder
neighborhood, is now entitled to the
blue ribbon as turnip raiser de has
brought to this Office specimen which
weighs 10 pounds and nine ounces.
Mr.. Harrison informs US that he max es
it habit to plant big patch of tur-
nips each year, and that he finds them
excellent food for his hogs and COWS.
Clipped up finely and fed cold, they
help to keep the hogs growing, and
when cooked and mixed with little
meal, they will produce fat about as
rapidly as anything else he knows.
Looks Like Vigilance.

pointed Mr.. P. w. Love to look after the

exhibit any suspicion; but insisted on
