Dairy Commissioner Norton favored
the PLAIN DEALER with copy of his
annual report to the Governor from
which we had designed making liberal
extracts for this issue of our paper,
but its so interesting and valuable that
one can hardly tell where to stop with
an extract short of publishing the full
report.
Previous minstrel entertainments
in Cresco have been styled the best
things ever given by local talent. The
one to be given Feb. 1lth, embraces
the best talent, both male and female
that participated in the previous
entertainments. 1t can't fail to be
first class.
An educational rally will be held at
Riceyille, Feb. 1st and second, with
an interesting program of topics and
discussions in which both teachers
and school officers will participate.
On the evening of Feb. 1st, A. r. Nc
Cook will deliver his lecture ''Litera-
ture as an Educator"

has an interest in our fire boys and we

The only medical man who has ever
originated anything of value In regard
to the cause, prevention and cure Of
CANCER, is DR.. Melville G. Keith, of
Ohio. He uses no knife, plaster OF
poison drugs, but we are willing to
satisfy any interested party that
cancer can be cured without any cut
ing and will stay cured. s3tf.
D. A. Lyons has prepared a room
where he will keep large assortment,
the best grades of heavy work, and
fine carriage harness. He finds his
trade in this branch of goods increas-
ing to such an extent that he felt con-
strained to furnish place where they
could be shown, and where they would
be comparatively free from dust and
harm.

Wednesday, Misses Lauraine Mead
and Genevieye Dissmore went to
Chicago where they will take course
in piano instruction with Professor
Sherwood, the most noted instructor
in the country. Miss Mead is now the
most capable instructor on the piano
in the county and will advance pupil
as much in one term as any othef
teacher in the county can in two
terms. But she is not satisfied with
this, she desires to be able to do
doubly more than she can do now for
those who come to her for instruction.
And Miss DiSsmore is as proficient as
any MUSIC teacher in the county aside
from Miss Mead, but as she has, as
has Miss Mead chosen that as her
vocation she desires to be eminently
deserving and worthy of the profession.
