Bakers Ad.

Why go to the great City of Gotham for furniture when you can find a city of Gotham stock to select from right over at HaWieyville, and at pric much under the city. Now we make this claim because there Is reason in it. A claim without reason carries no weight Just study the situation moment, examine the location of our plant and our conveniences for do- ing business. We own the buildings and have no high rents to pay: Shipping facil- ities at this point are unexcelled' and we have no carriage either in receiving or send ing out. No concern in the state Of any where near our size can begin to do busi- ness under the very small expenses we are under. Any man wi.h half an eye can see it. We don't have to tell him this, we only have to remind him of 1t once in a while
 Lest he forget, lest he forget" We ad- vertise no leaders but claim to sell all goods on . consistent commission and this is not what the city establishments are doing. All, or nearly all use leaders. Sell you for instance stand for 9ec that cost them SIS a dozen to buy and then in the next breath while you are intoxicated over this 98c bargain, draw a $15 commission out of you on 8 nice sideboard or bookcase, but some of the people are getting to the point leaders than the old farmers hens were when he successfully misled them for a number of weeks by mixing fine saw dust with their corn meal, but the day of re. ri button came at last when he set his favor ite hen on 8 bakers dozen of nice selected eggs and she promptly matched him out nine chickens with wooden legs, three and hair tipped wood chuck. The old fellow had forgotten that You can fool one hen all of the time and all of the hens some of the time, but you can't fool all of the hens all of the time" Now we are furnishing up houses in all parts of the state and we are doing it more on the merits of the wares we are sending out than by heavy advertising. We have advertised as you must have noticed but very little during the last two years, but just now some of these editors and pub fishers are fairly beside themselves with the idea of actually owning nice fat turkey for Christmas or New Years, just like the rest of us, and we are paying them good price for this little space just to help hold them in the path of rectitude and honesty, and head off any necessity for raid on their neighbors turkey vines. Come and look our stock over and see for yourself if we cannot save you money over the in- ducements offered by any other concern in the state.

To Whom It May Concern,
A FEW POINTED QUESTIONS.

When the will of the people expressed through their representatives, in cenven- tion assembled becomes the law of the State for the protection, preservation and general welfare of all the interests of all the people of the State, why Is not the law, as the will of the people so expressed and intended, faithfully and honestly executed?
 Will some one explain?
 When person in open defiance of the law of the State commits an act, amen able to justice, under either the Civil or Criminal code of the laws of the State, why Is it that such persons may through some manner of 1T fiuence find an escape from their award of justice through the law intended to protect and preserve every variety of interest under the lawe 1. Will some one exL lain? e~ .-4s 1.z.
 When person is operlY charged. ar- rested and tried flor the crime of arson and held under heavy bond to answer to higher tribunal of the state and pending the hour of such tribunal, crim- inal, bondsman and all in interest remove to some other state and after a lapse of time the criminal returns to state, town and the scenes of their crime, what is it's significance when property is sacri- flced, business and social relations sev- cred, families removed to distant state, the criminal still at large and the case uncalled?
 Will some one explain.
 When a person IS charged with mur- der, tried and held to answer to higher court and pending the hour of such trial, the case, seemingly to the public eye, finds place beyond the pale of the law and justice and the culprit goes, what does this mean?
 Will some one explain? ~
 When person openly charged, arrest ed and tried for the violation of the ssc- red protection accorded to female virtue and held to answer to higher authority and the case carried along from time to time of court and still going until the people are asking the wherefore of all this. What do all these things signify and the general public unite in the en- quiry2 .as-a.-@

SHILOH.

This gray haired old hill is, like thous- ands of other bills and valleys, getting dry. The Warner mill pond Is so low that the pickerel get entangled in the water liiies and couldn't move to bite the minows that Neighbor Edwin Sherman dangled before them. Last winter about this time 30 pounds were caught in one day here.
 Homer G. Clark is getting anxious for ice but found that it lay so close upon the deposits of mud in the Warner pond that the ice saw got stuck.
 F. A. Isbell as usual secured his ice in time from Gilbert's pond, seven inches thick.
 The Berkshire pond Is covered with enough ice for nearly all Newtown. Ice costs too much to cart 1t by teams too far.
 What winter this isl A day before the cold snap and snow came, to disturb us all, blue birds were singing here and yellow hammer seemed to think spring had come. Your cores pondent guesses they have found the contrary. The blue jays are happy and singing over the acorns and chestnuts lying for them broadcast in all the woods. We are sure that they, like the red squirrel and chipmunk, store up nuts for the winter. It seems strange that the gray squirrel doesn't. Tn pleasant days they come out and look for nnts, but haven't that foresight and 'shind- sight" that chipmunks and men have to lay up grub for winter. How delightful the thought of seeing the spring birds again and the summer birde, the happy swallows, the marsins, pewees, orioles, and the multftudes that inha bit our " oods singing as happily as the bobolIuksl
