The Busy Time of the Year.

This paper is just twice the size
of the ordinary newspaper, filled with
good reading matter, the holiday an.
nouncements of our progressive mer-
chants and the live news of the coun-
ty. If you trade with those who ask
for your business herein, we will
guarantee you fair and honorable
treatment, full value for your money
and better stocks to select from
than you can find in any city the
size of DEBORAH in the northwest.
The merchant who does not value
your trade enough to seek it through
newspaper advertisements is not
worthy of your patronage, for nine
ty-nine times out of hundred he is
back number, carries out-of-date
stock, and relies upon making a big
profit from the few customers who
come to his place of business through
habit only. The man who succeeds
today without intelligent newspaper
advertising is the exception to the
rule, and is seldom found.

Is This You?

There are few people in this
burg (and pretty nice people) who
will enter grocery store, run their
fingers into a barrel and lop up a
couple ounces of sugar, nibble at lie
back of herring, eat a handful of
nuts, cut off slice of cheese just
to tase, then, as a matter of course,
must take few crackers; and before
they have made up their mind to buy
bar of soap, they have eaten up the
profits on 50 worth of groceries, and
to wind it all up they have it charg-
ed, and the poor merchant perhaps
realizes profit of one cent. They
leave the store munching a couple
of apples. This is no dream, but a
reality, except some times they don't
buy any soap. But such is life.-Ex

The death of Mrs. Harvey F.

was So years of age, and leaves to
mourn her loss her husband and six

Mrs. Bloomfield had large friend

join in heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved family.

Attempts to Steal Coat.

During the past week there have
been three or four suspicious looking
bobos around town, and on one or
two nights they lodged in the county
Jail. On Monday evening, one of
them saw a coat hanging in front of
Ben Bears store wnicn looked good
to him, and he started to make off
with it, but the eagle eye of John
Protheroe was on him, and John
caught him and held him until Off
Ger Mizener arrived and took him up
to Jail again. AS we go to press he
has not yet been given a hearing, but
it is the common opinion that he took
the coat more for the purpose of
getting a comfortable Jail sentence
this cold weather than for any other
reason, which he will probably get.
Some day Winneshiek county will
find way to deal with these fellows
so that a Jail sentence will not be
SO attractive to them.

Do Something for the Town.

If you want your town to improve
improve it. If you want your town
lively, make it so. Don't go to sleep,
but get up and work for 1t, talk about
it and talk favorably. If you have
property improve it, paint your
houses, clean up your alleys and back
yards, make your surroundings pleas
ant, and you will be worth more in
the market, If you are doing reason
ably we'll advise your friends to come
and invest near you. Work steadily
for your home dealers. Keep your
money at home as much as possible
and it is likely to help you in return
The successful towns have been made
by the property owners pulling to-
gether Public improvements is an
investment that pays. Don't waste
your time over dirty quarrels and
hold back your aid from good objects
through spite, but work for some
good and you will find yourself bene-
fitted.

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS NOTES.
Items of Interest in the City Schools
Reported by the Superintendent.

We failed to mention in our notes
last week, the generous donations ny
the grade pupils to the Thanksgiving
collection which was taken up by the
ladies' federated society. 1t includ-
ed everything; clothing, vegetables,
groceries, and We understand, up
wards of $500 in cash. The plat
form dray which was used to haul
the articles downtown was we'll
loaded. We feel that it is but just
that we mention and commend the
children in this free-will Offering, for
that was what it was.
School will close on Thursday, Dec.
23d, for the Christmas vacation of
one week.
The doors of the buildings are
opened at $3.50 in the morning and
at 100 in the afternoon, unless
otherwise announced. We call atten-
ton to this regulation SO that par
ents may know when to have chill
dren start for the sessions of school.
We notice that some must wait so
much as 20 to 80 minutes at the
entrances for the doors to open. This
may be avoided during extreme
weather by not leaving home quite
so early.
Rev. o. H. L. Mason, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of
Boone, Iowa, favored the high school
with an address Monday afternoon
He was making a brief visit with
his son, C. G.. Mason, of the science
We wonder whether all parents
are attempting to keep in close touch
with teachers and the school work
of their children. This should be a
mutual work-the training and edu
cation of your children. You can
not hope to do it all; neither can
the teacher hope Or expect to do it
all. Did you ever consider the fact
that If your boy or girl does not
succeed in life that the teacher may
be held responsible for the things
she has not done, and not for the
efforts and work that the home and
society have neglected? The reports
and general testimony that a pupil
bears home does not always give a.
fair indication of how he is getting
along with his work. The average
child is more of a diplomat than
we generally give him credit for, and
ne will tell you that he is succeeding,
we'll or i'll, just according to the story
hat he feels he is expected to tell |
Be sure and get in touch with, and
AXE the teacher of your boy and
girl in close confidence. Both de-
serve it and ought to have it.
Mr.. J. j. Hopperstad, secretary of
The board of education, gives the
morning talk on Wednesday, Dec.

A Remarkably Interesting Romance

A Remarkably Interesting Romance.
Announcement is made by the
Cochrane Publishing Company, OF
New York, of the publication of
new book, called "Mahanomah, by
Mrs. John Breckenridge of this city.
1t is story of that rich, wild, roman
tic period of our nations life, when
our then vast and noble primeval
forests, sheltered and protected the
wild beasts, the imaginative Red
Man, the facile, diplomatic French
man, and the conquering Americana
ed-Englishman. The events of this
charming book are based upon that
great determining factor in modern
history, the French and Indian War.
The beautiful love of "Mahano-
mah," the young Indian maid, and
her faithfulness to the brave Amer
lean scout and his friends, who saved
the life of "Mahanomah's Indian
lover, appeals powerfully to the
heart. There is wealth of de-
scription, an imagery and a power of
language here that arrest attention
This is one of the most truthful,
beautiful, patriotic, historical ROM
ances that has yet appeared, and no
doubt it will meet with a ready re-
ception, and the first edition will soon
be exhaused. The price is $1.35,
postpaid.
