Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will
be much larger in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nent1y before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass Judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Cham berlain'S Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years
and have found that it can be depend
ed upon. They may occasionally take
up with some fashionable novelty put
forth with exaggerated claims, but
are certain to return to the one RENE
dy that they know to be reliable, and
for coughs, colds and Group there is
nothing equal to Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. For sale by Jones & Gibson.

Wednesday night of last week there
was an attempt at robbery in Frank
lin township which escaped the vigil
lance of the newspaper rustleI. An
old gentleman, A BOwSer, who lives
by himself on what was formerly
known as the Jim Curtis farm, had
just eXtinguished- his light and re-
tired, when there was knock at the
door. Answering the summons, he
was informed by the persons outside
that they had met with an accident
and wanted a light that they might
see to repair the damaged vehicle.
Mr.. Bowser told them he had nothing
but lamp, the chimney of which was
broken, and that it would not burn
any length of time: he told them to
come and see for themselves, if they
did not believe what he said. and
throwing the door open he stepped
back to make way for them to enter.
They were no sooner inside than they
dropped their guns in his face and
commanded him to throw up his
hands, and for the first time the old
gentleman observed that his visitors
were masked. They at once bouId
their victim. with his hand behind
his back, and while one stood before
him with a cooked revolver pointed
full at his breast the other proceeded
to search the house for money, which
they supposed he had received from
recent sales of grain. the old man
protested that he did not want the
shooting iron In close proximity with
his body. but 1t did not seem to make
anv difference with the night prowl-
ers who made all kinds of threats to
eXtOrt information as to where the
old mans wealth was concealed, but
evidently they had to give up the Job
without accomplishing their purposed
robbery They took Mr. Bawser out
doors in his night clothes, still under
the muzZleS of their revolyers. and.
turning him loose, made their way
OF, telling the old man to get back
into the house, which he did without
necessary delay. Mr. Bowser is about
