Our attention has been called to the
disappearance of the squirrels which
We're so numerous on south Main street
last year, presumably having been kill
ed by some one. It was indeed a pleas
ing sight to see the little fellows play
ing in the trees as you would go to and
from the depot and person killing one
is pretty low in our estimation.
There are also some who are in the
habit of killing every song bird that
happens in the yard, and Marshal Pryor
says he intends to prosecute every
person caught killing any birds or
squirrels.

to the advantages of advertising, says;
The good sensible merchant sticks to

never withdrawing his announcement,
but constantly pounding away at the
public. There is only one way to adj
vertise, and that is to hammer your
name, your location, your business, so
persistently, so thoroughly into the
peoples heads that if they walked in
their sleep they would constantly turn
their faces toward your store. The
newspaper is your best friend. 1t
helps to build up the town OF commun-
ity that supports you"

The question sometimes arises, says
the Philadelphia Bulletin, whether
husband and wives have right to open
one another's letters. This they must
OF course, decide for themselves, but
if there is right which belongs to any
one, it is the right to open and read
ones personal letters before any other
eye rests upon them, and this rule
should be sacredly guarded. l have
known families in which letters were
not in the least treated as private
property SO that any member of a
family coming home after an absence
might find that her letter had been read
and commented on by a half dozen
persons, before she saw it herself.
This shows beautiful degree of con-
fidence, but all the same it is not quite
fair. Every one from the little child
should have the privilege, as we'll as
the right, to open personal letter
before anybody else sees it.
