Quite furry of excitement struck
our townspeople late Thursday even

to come to Les kcsvilIc, hence we are
to be pardoncd for getting perturb-
ed as it dashed in G. T.. Rice a

At this time of the year people are
naturally discussing in their minds
the 'nomentious question, where

Our answer to this important prob

vertising columns in this issue It's
replete with proclamations touching
nearly every Imaginable want. from
business people here and elsewhere
who are itching TO secure your pat
ronagc, and who will accord you clos
est prices and best treatment. We
closely edit the advertising matter
that goes into this paper. as we do
the reading matter, and you can rest
assured no fakirs and frauds will be
permitted to perlmbulatc their false
wares or seductive tales through this
medium. Weare not going to put a
c:osing advisoiory clause as strong
as one newspaper does, who urges
his clientele never to trade with a
man who does not advertise. because
there are lots Of good business folks
who are not now numbered among
our advertisers who we shortly hope
to add there. But for nice clean
fresh goods ut reasonable prices try
those business firms represented on
the pages OF this paper Find a man
yho does not advertise and who can
not be induced to do so, and you will
find man who is as rusty, crusty
and old fashioned as the goods he is
J trying to sell on the back-me-up
plan.
There's no surer way of rrining
your boy than taking his side on
every question and dispute he has
with his teacher or your neighbours
children. In every young wight of
the adam;c family is found strain
of petty meanness, which often
learns to hide itself from the Papa
eye. Is your boy covering up his
faults, and making you believe that
he is the little innocent, while his
playmates are juvenile devils. Just
your letting your son know you are
with him right or wrong in all his
disputes, is the very worst policy
you can pursue in moulding his char
acter. Nothing will give him such a
good start in the downward path.
