The new bank building under

ton to be occupied By Woodhouse &

use of the purpose for which it is be-

There are many drivers who per-
sist il using the oyerdrawn check and
in holding their horses heads high
and rigid. This is as a usual thing
cruel. A horses head IS his balance.
Note how the horse at work drops his
head low. This weather, when it is
so hard to be comfortable at best,
adds to the discomfort OF the animal
to force its nose high up in the air
and hold it there.
The season has arrived when the
soap man, the range man, the cheap
grocery man and the fakir in all his
numerous guises-but still fakir-
is with US. He comes with his plaus-
ible tale Of cheap prices, longtime
instalIment plan and all the balance
OF his rot. but let us hope that the
crowd of suckers will be light this
season. Your home merchants will
duplicate any prices the fakir will
make and give you good goods. Give
your local dealer the first chance and
nine times out Of ten you will save
money by dealing with him. The
only way to build up a country or
town is by dealing with each other
and keeping the money at home. The
various branches of industry are so

circulation and helps neither you nor
your neighbor.
An exchange prints the follow

thy pard for better or worse; to have,
to hold, to fondly guard till hauled in
a hearse? Wilt thou let her have her
way, consult her many wishes, make
the fire every day and help her wash
her dishes2 Wilt thou comfort and
support her father, mother, Aunt
Jemima. Uncle John and three sisters
and brother2n His face grew pale
and blank: it was too late to jilt; and
through the floor he sank, he meekly
said, II wilt.

news dealers at Milwaukee talk Of re-
sisting the law on tn ground that it

pressing indecent publications it has
never been invoked against legitimate
publication.
