"A man not far from town has
been trying the experiment of mix
inc little sawdust with his chicken
feed, says an exchange. He was SO
much pleased with the experiment
that he determined to give up feed
ing his hens corn meal and fed
them sawdust entirely. Shortly
after he set a hen with thirteen
EGGS. Last week she came off with
thirteen curious chicks. Twelve
had wooden legs and one was a
woodpecker.
The holidays Will soon be here
and our merchants are making eX-
tensive preparations to meet the de-
mands of their customers for the
holiday trade. Their display of
seasonable goods will be greater
than ever this season and you can
find in Lancaster something just
suitable for a present for a relative
or friend. Sharp competition makes
prices right, as the goods are sold on
small margin. Spend your money
for presents at home this season.
Business no longer seeks the
BUSINESS man or the business house.
It is sought for by every class and
condition of business enterprise, and
the cheapest and best way to en-
large the custom of any house, no
matter how we'll established, is by
liberal and judicious advestising in
the newspapers. The business
houses that generously and wisely
advertise in newspapers are always
in the front of their class, While
those who restrict or neglect adver-
Using are always behind in the
race.
An exchange expresses our SEN
timents in the following: 1t is
quite surprising TO the editor, some

our office and give us an item of
news, and apologize as though his
visit might be considered an intru
sion. No one is more welcome than
the man who brings in items of
news even if it does not concern
himself. We naturally consider
every man who furnishes an item
to make our columns more newsy
and interesting, as benefactor. We
hope that none of our readers will
feel the least hesitancy in visiting
our office, or appearing before us on
