MORE Or LESS PERSONAL.

W !" "PSh ~" hthfe /
city this week made uniform advertis.
ing rates which will be found at the
head Of page four Of this issue. Under
The new rate churches and charitable
societies will be given ten lines of
free for entertainments wherein
they derive the entire benefit, but II
they want more than ten lines the cost
will be 81 cents per line. For locals OF
entertainment wherein a church or
other society gets a per cent Of the re.
and the promoter or promoters
get a per cent the charge will be- five
cents per line straight. Some may
think this rate a little high for that
class of advertising but we believe we
are just as much entitled to our pay
for our work Of advertising them as the
promoters are entitled to their pay for
getting up the entertainment. We are
expected to live and pay our bills with
what we get for our advertising just
the same as the promoters are expected
to live and pay their bills with their
share Of the receipts Of the work, and
we can see no justitiable reason why
the publisher should divide his share Of
the receipts with the church or
society and promoter, each OF which
receive q part of 1t when their advertis.
ing is not paid for. While we are ready
and willing to help churches, societies,
etc, along at all times, we do not feel
that we are doing justice to ourselves
when we help along travelling troupes
and promoters who generally reap the
lions share, and hence the charge Of 8
cts per line.
At a meeting Of the city council held
on Wednesday evening it was decided
to advertise for bids for the hauling OF
gravel to be used to cover Webster St.
between Third and Fourth avenue to a
depth OF about four inches. This will DO
what might be called an experimental
piece Of work, for the purpose Of find.
ing'out ! fcoarse gravel will make n solid
roadbed. At other places It has been
tried and found to be q very acceptable
mode Of paving at a low cost. While
gravel may be hard thing to pull a
load through until it once becomes
packed solidly it eventually makes an
excellent road and streets paved with
it are generally free from mud. In fact
it eventually becomes about equal to an
asphalt pavement and the cost would
not exceed $3.50. 90 per block. We hope
the experiment work will prove success
full and the entire business part of
town at least will be treated likewise.
An item which we failed to mention
last week was the marriage of Miss
Emma l.. Cook formerly OF this city
to Mr.. Willis W. Robertson of Prim-
rose, Iowa, which happy event took
place at the home of Mrs. Hammond of
that city on March c9th the Rev. w. l..
Byers officiating. The bride is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A Cook OF
this city and a graduate II u high
school and has for some time past been
engaged in teaching in Iowa. She is
well and favorably known here and
the happy pair have the best wishes OF
many friends here who along with the
CHIEF extend congratulations and bes,
wishes.

This city will receive more substant
ial improvements this year than for sew
eral years past. TO tell the truth thu
improvements are being mostly made
by the younger men and are made will
the intention Of having a future home
of their own pattern, and consequent,
everything is done in first class anC
substantial shape, Paying rent is some
thing the rising generation of this cit.
seems to be very much averse TO.
