"The water proposition in Lit tie Rock has been temporlzed with long enough. It will never be settled, either the question or the water. by marrying, half hearted methods.

 Our advice to you is to get away from your bad water. Move down to Monticello where we have the purest water that was ever known. It courses from soc feet below the surface, and flows through sands and crystals as white as snow. It is the standard by which all other water k now tested When wa ter is found, anywhere, that is approximately as good as Mon. ticelEo water, the people go wild and have a jubilee. The height of their ambition is attained aud they send out invitations, engraved on gilt-edge paper, ask. ing everybody to come and join them in rejoicing.

 The following from St. Louis paper might be of some benefit to tue road overseers in this county
 "A simple contrivanee so sim pie that it can hardly be called an invention is likely to cause q vast Improvement in the dirt roads of the United States, and nine-tenths of all the public highways of the country are of that class. Road drags are made of two halves of a split log, orof blanks nailed to- gether with a lap joint. The length is eight feet, and the drag is hauled along the road at an angle of 45 degrees This imple- ment, so primitive in form but so remarkable in proved result, is ap- piled when the road is muddy by a team driven in q walk along one side of the road, returning on the opposite side. A dry road IS ney- CT dragged. but the work may go on in summer when rain IS falling or as soon as it ceases. In winter the drag should be applied just be- fore Il freeze
 The drag tests have been so sue cessful for several years that both the Missouri and Illinois legisla- lures at their recent sessions provi- ded for the work with state com pelfsation giving preference in Its performance to the occupant of of the land Rural delivery carriers are all advocates Of the drag sys. tenn, for they have daily proof of it's efficiency in maintaining a smooth surface and good drainage on dirt roads. It is said that if the drag cost $50 aud was palnted red it would have been approved much faster at first for it seemed absurdly simple. But it's merits are now known, legislatively reeog nized. Road dragging will pro- ceed hereafter with the systematic support of taxpayers, and its wide spread beneficial results cannot be doubted .

have received no aid or encourage
ment in the work from the m or
chants. None of them have ever
given us an extra dollars worth OF

is not possible to build up one el-

Of the farmer, nor can the farmer
be made prosperous at the expense
of the business men and have a
we'll balanced community. In sec-
tions of Iowa where the mail or
der evil has destroyed erstwhile
prosperous towns the farm values
have shrunk from $40 to SIS per
acre. How would the Mobiles o1un-
ty farmer like to face such a con-
dition? The Advance has been
gratitied to note decrease in the
mail order evil during the past year
and, we have the faith to believe
that in few years it will be entire
ly eradicated.
It is like a disease, and has it's run
in every community. The up-to-
date business methods adopted by
all our leading dealers during the
past few years has done much to
abate it and it is within the power
of the local merchants to destroy it
altogether, if they will.
It can be done by persistent and
wide-awake advertising of goods
and prices.

sBUSlNESS~ ttER ERRED
In Stating Advance Refused To
Publish Ben Young's Article.

In appointing an official business
killer the official organ has executed
one of those brilliant flank move
ments on the blunder line that is
fast making it more famous than
Jones mule, aud it has been partic-
ularly fortunate in it's choice for the
position of a man who is handy
with the hammer. Mr.. Moore is one
Of those thrifty and :aggressiveyoung
men who seem to think their dollars
are worth $50 cents, and has the
reputation of being an inveterate
mail order fend, and as such is no
doubt in hearty sympathy with Mr..
Young's story. But Mr.. Editor
Moore has been either misinformed
or wilfuly prevaricates when he
says the Advance refused to print
Mr.. Young's article in defense of
catalogue house patrons. The ar
ticle was submitted to this paper at
time when we we're crowded for
space and short-handedand as it did
not appear in a short time Mr..
Young called to learn the reason
why. He was informed of the situa-
tion and also that we did not con-
slider it fair nor proper to print the
article without comment Mr..
Young did not then appear so anx-
ious to have it printed and with
drew it.
In the first place Mr.. Young's ar
ticle is ancient history and has little
or no relation to conditions as they
exist in Worthington today. In the
second place he does not make. a
fair presentation of his side of the
case. For instance: He speaks of
getting a price of $2s on windmill,
all set up, from local dealer, then
buying it from a mail order house,
all set up, for SIS. Who ever heard
Of a mail order house setting up
windmills or other machinery, or
keeping them in order. The facts
are that Mr.. Young got his wind
mill in Chicago for SIS, paid the
freight, hauled it out and probably
set it up himself. These are items
of expense to local dealers that most
mail order patrons fail to take into
account, as they SEQ nothing but the
initial cost, and it usually accounts
for the difference in. the Chicago
price and the local price.
The effect of such articles is to
kill of the business of the town,
