READ CAREFULLY and GO TO WORK TODAY.

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, 1t Is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspaper In
the state, It is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one of the most popular. Ninety per cent. OF
the families in the county desire It as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford 1t, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, Is the inconven:
ience Of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. It is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for us, just at this time, to
secure the services Of q large number OF intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of q single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This is to the individual
who does not give his name to clubmaker {;
but sends It direct to this Office. In clubs,
however, the price IL only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubmaker,
and the price which, under all circumstances,
he Is expected to pay US. Now to our propo-
sitiOnS:

Too PROFESSIONALISM a western
city lives an undertaken, by name
Brown, a great wag, and always ready
to play joke; also doctor who is a
Joker, and is always ready to tell on
himself ard a "monument maker"
who is of the same kidney.
One day the doctor was driving at
full speed down business street when
Brown spied him. Brown was in his
wagon with the sign of his profession
on the side. Whipping up his horse,
he came as close to the doctor as pos
sible, and glancing round, he spied the
monument maker to hurry up. Brown
called out: $50 on, doctor, 60 on,
we're coming"
The doctor looked around, and dis
may was pictured on his countenance.
He whipped up his horse, but all to no
purpose, the undertaken and the monu-
ment maker following closely. At
last the ridiculous part of the thing
struck him, and leaning back in the
buggy he gave vent to his laughter, in
spite of the thought, "What a Sign for
a prominent physician this is."-Har'
per's Magazine.

THREE BIG PREMIUMS.

This year we offer three big premiums. One
ia q SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR BUGGY.
Another is q SEVENTY-F1VED DOLLAR Or
GAN, and the third Is FIFTY DOLLAR
WAGON. The Buggy will go to the clubmaker
who gets up the largest list Of subscribers, new
and old. The Wagon will 60 to the clubmaker
who gets up the second largest list, new and
whose total list shall show up the largest
number Of NEW NAMES. The organ contest,
however, will be separate and distinct from
the other contest, In that the winner OF this
premium will still have the right to count his
entire club, including both old and new
names, in the confession the Buggy. or Wagon.
TO be more explicit. 1t is possible that the
clubmaker who gets the Organ, may also be
the winner OF either the Wagon or the Buggy.
II is also possible that the Organ may be won
with less than 20 names, together with one
Of the smaller premiums.

CURES For EARACHE.-When baby

CURES For EARACHE.-When baby
cries so that earache is suspected, try
blowing a little tobacco smoke into
the ear. 1t will usually relieve the
trouble Immediately. Another good
remedy is to take thick slice of pota-
to and toast it brown on top the stove; !;
then wrap it in a woolen cloth and
hold it to the ear. Still another reme-
dy is to put live coal into a small
tin pill box and wrap around it cloth
saturated with equal parts of lauda'
mum and camphor. This is held to
the ear in such a way that the steam
is blown into it. Another remedy is
to dip piece of cotton into sweet oil,
and then into black pepper; heat it
hot, and insert it into the ear. Cotton
dipped in hot laudanum and placed in
the ear will often afford almost instant
relief.

MANUREs For ON1oNs.-Onions

MANUREs FOR ON1oNs.-Onions
need rich land, but it must be land
made rich by previous manuring
rather than by application of fresh or
even composted manure. In other
words, the fertility must be diffused
through the soil, so that it can make
a solid seed bed. Fresh manure
makes the soil too light, so that the
roots of onions run down, and the
crop becomes very largely scullions.
In all cases where the soil is not nat
urally rich enough to produce the
largest crop of onions the deficiency
must be made up with nitrogenous
and mineral commercial fertilizers,
which will compact the soil rather
than loosen it.
