TO relax advertising when trade is
slack would be like aphysician deserting
patient who has taken relapse. 1t is
the persistent, all-the-year-ro adver-
tiser who does steady and profitable
business, while the spasmodic advertiser
complains of hard times. Keeping ever
lastingly at it brings success.
In order to facilitate the work of the
census enumerators when they call, il
would be good idea for those who are
not quite sure as to dates, etc., to get the
family Bible out and post themselves in
regard to the date of birth, when mar
ried, the birthday of the children, and by
so doing much time will be saved

An exchange says that gossip has
made many home hell on earth
gossip has parted husbands and wives
gossip has blackened and sullied the
character of many poor girls gossip has
parted lovers who would have been very
happy if it had not been for gossip. One
little misstep or one little indscretion
will cause gossip to arise with new
strength and start on her mission. Don't
gossip. A gossiper is about the lowest
and meanest thing on earth.
Crops of all kinds, except hay, are
looking we'll throughout the country,
the backward spring
and the late frosts. Fruit trees were evil
IDENTIFY not sufficiently adv vanced to suf-
fer much from the frosts of two weeks
ago, and give evidence of IA big yield this
season, especially the apple crop. Grain
of all kinds looks prosperous, but the
meadows are looking poorly owing to
lack of moisture, and without rains and
warm weather the hay crop will be a very
sholt one in this latitude.
Many improvements are now and
