Special Notice.

This is q special notice to
which we desire to direct special
attention.
Keytesville's merchants who
do not want to advertise will do
US a favor by saying go. We
don't like the idea of being
promised an "ad," next week,
and then when we &C after it be
put off till next week and then
next week and then next week,
ad infinitum.
Time is worth money to us
and we have none to waste on
merchants who can not under.
stand and appreciate the value
of judicious advertising in good
country newspaper like the CoU.
RIER with sworn circulation OF
5000.
Keytesville is the only town its
size in all Missouri where a home
paper offers the home merche nts
such a golden opportunity tc
tell a weekly story of their wares
and get business.
Hereafter Keytesville mer.
chants who want to advertise in
this paper will have to come to
this office. We are sore over
being "next weeked" till our
sensibilities are lacerated almost
beyond the point of further for.
bearance.
This week and not next week
is the time for a wide awake,
up.to.date, aggressive mer-
chant to advertise.
This week you can make q
few dollars that you can leave
your wife and children if you
will only advertise. Next week
you may be with the angels
where you will not need any
advertising.

A Fine Distinction.

A special permit of Keytes.
vllle's lord mayorhas been grant.
ed the editor of the COURIER Civ
ing him the privilege of "smok.
ing his meat" and "chewing the
rag" to his hearts content.
Thanks.
The mayor also says that he
did not intend to interpret the
Sunday law 80 extremely that a
landlord at a hotel could not sell
a guest a cigar after partaking
of Sunday meal.
Another extreme case is that
of man who wanted to buy a
tooth brush at a drug store last
Sunday with which to wash his
teeth and mouth, but the drug.
gist would not sell it for fear of
mourning the displeasure of
the present city administration.
1t would have been different had
the man who needed a tooth
brush wanted a box of pills.
keytesville should congrat.
ulate herself upon having a
chief executive who has the abil.
ity to draw such fine line of
distinction between the mouth
and bowels.
Does Mayor Dewey see the
point?
The COURIER, however, hopes
that Mayor Dewey may even yet
not prove to be a hide. bound
Puritan.

Keytesville's street lights are
now put out at 10 O'Clock at
night. One member of the city
council informs US that it would
break the town to burn the lights
ahtil midnight. This is sad, if
true, but if having lights until
low II will "break the town."
then let's have the lights until
the city goes broke, at least.
Let's have reforms on other lines.
Fines of more than ST and costs
will help to swell the city's ex-
cheguer and pay for more lights.
AS it is now the city has only
about half the number of. lights
that are needed.

The Militia, Of Crookston, are to

round Sack Full of Mail.

While engaged in setting some
traps along the south branch of the
Buffalo river last Monday, young
man residing in the town of Mo]and
mace an astonishing find. that will
undoubtedly Call forth sharp in
Vestlgation in the railway mail
service. 1t was THAI of a locked
pouch of U. S. mail, and found on
examination to be we'll filled with
letters, papers, and packages in
transit. The young man found it
near the road bridge, and the only
theory that can be advanced is that
of it's having fallen from the mail
car on Northern Pacific train and
then been f1oated on the water to
where it was found. The pouch
shows no evidence OF having been
tampered with, though the canvass
is SO rotted as to make it impossible
to lift the sack without it's tearing
into shreds. It has been water soak
ed, and the mice. too have had
their chance to nibble at it, . - .,,..s:
The contents will in measure be
saved, as the protection of the sack
has kept most of the addresses
legible- thorough examination
having been made yet, pending the
authority or visit from the chief
inspector-and by them some clue Is
obtained as to where it originated.
A few of the postmarks looked at
show dates of October 9th, 7th, and
9Th, 1906, from the postoffices OF
Climax, Argyle, Hallock and St.
Vincent, which makes it evident
that the pouch was consigned from
the Crookston to Moorhead branch
of the Great Northern, and probably
transferred at the latter place to the
Northern Pacific.
Looking for the letter that never
came," will receive a new interest
by the people up in that region, l.
they have not forgotten thei]
correspondence of about those dates
