We notice there are a bum lot of
fellows who never saw the inside Of
printing Office going around gathering
dollars from business men by printing
ads alone on paper for distribation
A .'eullud ge'man" worked Lancaster
70 perfection week or two ago ON
that kind Of fake. Patronize home
institutions that stand by you year
after year and give an honest dollars
worth OF advertising for one hundred
cents.
Last week we we're surprised and
| pleased 10 receive a copy of the Sitter
Weekly. Vol. l, No. 5. edited by S. L.
Hirsh. 1t IS issued without the aid of
type, presses or other material usual
/ " found in a newspaper Office The
entire outfit consists of lead pencil
and brown paper. 1t is very fine
weekly all the same, full Of locals,
editorials, advertisements, stories and

The Mound City Advocate. pub
lished at Plarteville by James NJ. Con-
ley, comes 20 Us this week somewhat
disfgured and announces that it is
still in the ring. Well. 90 it
boys! The Grant county newspaper
boat is badly crowded Just at present;
but the HERALD is not a grumbler
and wishes all the boys success Our
trade is iull Of possibilities. We no
tice there is new newspaper being
printed at Sitter with lead pencil
and rubber stamp.
in another column VIII be found
the new advertisement of Henry Kno-
bic. He has purchased the fire insur-
ance business of Mr.. A. C. Morse and
represents five solid companies. His
office will be found in the second
story of Mcdonald Block. Mr.. Kno-
BILE has the best wishes of everybody
in his new venture. Owing to i'll
health he has been forced to leave his
old business of marble cutting. Re-
member Henry when you place your
insurance for 1897.
-Platteville has passed city cur
few law and after the ringing of the
bell children must be home. The law
in Lancaster worked like charm dur
ing the months that the bell rang at
9 O'Clock; but since they struck the
o'clock months.few of the young
sters pay attention to it. Eight o.
clock in the evening is too early
to ring the bell, and from our
experience we would advise that the
bell be struck at o'clock during the
whole year. One noticeable thing
about the ''kid'' bell here is that while
it sounded at o'clock all of the older
people who pretend to responsibility
and were not detained by business
went along home with the children.
They can not set this good example
for the youngsters while the bell
rings at 8. No person has ever been
arrested here for violating the ordi-
nance.
When you place an advertisement
in the HERALD it is read by ten thous-
and people. If you fail to get Gus
toners from that kind of an lad" it is
certainly your own fault and you
should look for a remedy in your own
affairs. If you are a merchant and
will place an advertisement in the
HERALD one week saying that you will
sell the best of silk for fifty cents
yard and you do what you say you
will-liye up to your advertisement
if, we say. after doing that for one
week you do not sell ten thousand
yards of silk a day for as long as your
silk holds out, the HERALD will make
you present of one years advertis-
ing free of cost, This will show you
that people read advertisements. BY
this we do not mean that the "cheap
John" always gets the trade
not by any means II in some way
You can ct the people know that you
are selling honest goods all the time at
