that there never would. have been anv

would have been allowed to take nearly

check. He told Mrs. Livingston shortly
after his wife's death, to go into the
house and take anything belonging to
barbara, that she desired. About one
month after her daughters death Mrs
Livingston sent another daughter
there to pick out few things belong

BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM
In Northern St. Clair County Is The Yale
Exposition.

E<poSitor.
If newspaper advertising is to be
valued by the number of copies pub
fishing house circulates (Which, by the
way, is the only way to get at the
value) The EXpositor is by one-half
a better advertising medium than any
other Journal in this part of st. Clair
county.
Two or three of our friends i'm town
have informed us of late that a certain
person is reporting that the Expositor's
circulation in this vicinity has not
increased to any extent for several
years, and that its outside list of sub
scribers was the largest This argu-
ment is used to injure this paper and
further the individuals own ends.
The fact of the matter is the Exposi-
tors list at a distance is not as large
as 1T was five years ago. while its local
circulation has more than doubled.
We bring this matter up at the present
time feeling that we are fully justified
In doing so, also for the purpose of
in the bud the lies which are
circulated for no other purpose than
gain at the Expositor's
expense.

We are sorry to chronicle such
actions of the boys, and out of respect
to their parents the names are withheld.
The boys plead guilty, and each paid

in the future. We hope this will be a
lesson to the young lads and that others
who are suspected to be implicated
will take heed.
