DEMOCRATIC editors are pointing to
present high prices as evidence of
evils resulting from Republican mis-
rule. This is the same story that Cir
culated in those memorable times in
the early nineties when the period of
high prices was succeeded by reign
flow prices which lasted through the
Democratic administration. The pre-
sent high prices are far preferable to
low prices and with nothing to buy
with should prices be ever SO low.

been attacked in some quarters be-
cause he sought the usual methods of
advertising to secure publicity for his
church and his services. The preacher
replies 20 his critics by propounding
hequery: why should Satan have a
monopoly of publicty?"
Yes, why? 1t is just as much the
duty Of the Clergyman to see that he
secures an audience for his eXhorta-
tious as t is the store keepers duty to
invite costumers to his store. All who
visit the store do not buy, but the
merchant who gets people to his place
Of business is satisfied to take Il
chance on making customers of them.
The preacher who can induce the
wayfarer to go into his church and
sample his teachings is in fair way
to succeed in his business.

This preparation has earned it's
reputation on it's merits. and we are
devoting ourselves to securing the
absolute confidence and esteem of the
public by our methods of doing
business. The scramble for wealth
has deteriOrated business methods and
cheap limitations are jeopardiZlng

We have given written guarantees
for every order taken. and authorize
the druggists to refund the money to
their customers on receipt of these
guarantees properly filled out, where
there is any dissatisfaction. Our
guarantee is an obligation we could
not afford to give unless we were
absolutely sure that this liniment is
what we claim for it. Save your
guarantees and never accept 'some-

TO THE PUBLIC.

WE have decided that commencing
on Tuesday, June Is, we shall publish
the WOOD COUNTY REPORTER, twice
week, On Tuesdays and Fridays,
believing that this change will be ac-
ceptable both to our readers and
advertisers. The subscription price
will remain the same and our adVer-
tiSers can use one or both issues each
week as their wants may require. In
this manner the news service will be
better, and we believe the city now
requires this improved service. 1t
has always been our aim to give our
readers all the news and as promptly
and efficiently as our patronage would
warrant and we shall gladly publish
it. We invite everybody to subscribe
for the paper $3.50 in advance for both
papers, patrOniZe its columns with
their wants, and contribute any item of
news. We will want correspondents
in every village and town in the
county and shall do all in our power
to have every town in southern Wood
county represented. 1t costs money
to run good paper, and we hope our
patronage will continue in the future
as it has in the past, to support and
sustain us in our desire to advertise
and build up Grand Rapids and Wood
county. We have explicit faith and
confidence IN the future growth and
development of Grand Rapids, and
Wood county. and want to do our part
in singing their praises. On the front
page of this issue we have more to
say of the REPORTER, and it's life
work in this county.
Yours respectfully,
