other private schools. Those who ped
die this story are telling what is false,
either knowingly or otherwise. The
! charter provides that no saloon shall
be located within three hundred feet
of public school. A public school is
one that is supported by taxation OF
the public, and children are given their
education free of cost there. The To-
cal commercial schools are not public
, schools, but are private institutions,
conducted for profit, and a tuition is
charged of those who attend them. I'm
der the new charter there is nothing
! to prevent saloons being located next
door or underneath these schools, or
any other private schools.
Would anyone wish to have saloons
located in less than three hundred
feet of the public schools? Would
anyone wish saloon or two located
! in the same block with the Franklin
Union, Pleasant Grove, West MankatO
!or high school? Most cities require
that no saloons shall be located within
a greater distance from public schools
than three hundred feet. On thous-
and feet is the rule in many cities.
/ The main fight on the charter is be-
| ing made because of the following
provision, which is the only provision
| in the charter in regard to intoxicating
( liquors, and is on page "a, and reads:
Intoxicating Liquors: To license and
: regulate the sale of spirituous, vinous
fermented, malt or other liquors, pro
vided, however, that in no case shall a
license be granted to any person to
vend, deal in, or dispose of any such
liquors within distance of three
hundred feet from any public school

The Versailles Street Fair,
Sept. 1880, Oct. l-2

Messrs. p. II. Antweiler, ID. E.
Hardy, jr., and J. A. Petty have very,
kindly agreed to give Versailles and
Morgan County Street Fair this
year that will be a top-notcher. They
have called to their assistance the
Drcsic Bros, A. Pepper, II. X. En-
loe and A. G.. Baker, and with the
experience of these gentlemen there
can be no reason to look for anything
but grand success. The premium
list amounts to Sa6a.o in cash :,
which, with the other necessary ex-
penses the promoters will have, will
run up to about 100000, which, we
understand, the liberal spirited bus
mess men of Versailles have put up.
Now it is necessary for everybody in
Versailles and every farmer in Nor
gan County to help whoop'er up and
make it close second to the State
Fair.

the story will bear repeating, and is

will see by the above article from the

story will bear repeating to our

not know the great possibilities of the
minerals, coal and clays OF Morgan

them, and yet they are destined, I'VE
believe, to give greater wealth to the
coming hustlers who know, than even

Printers Ink the Entering Wedge.

Says the Clinton (Mich.) Courier:
The live, wide-awake business man
of to-day is the one who uses liber-
al amount of printers' ink. And
whys Because he knows through
the medium OF his home paper he
can inform his old customers. and
prospective new ones, Of any new
article he has to sell, or notify them
Of any bargains he may have, cheap
er and more etectually than in any
other way.
When a merchant refuses 70 adver-
tise his goods in the home paper,
claiming he will get the trade anyway,
if his claim is good, and he has
solved the problem of getting trade
without advertising ; if he has Sc
cured this valuable secret, he can al
ford tc give his business away, and
take the road visiting the many large
establishments who have always de-
pended on advertising, impart his
secret for any consideration he may
name, and if it will do the business
he will not have long to wait before
his bank account will put John D.'s
in the second rank. We would like
to see such man to learn on just
what lines he is formed. The whole
world would be glad to look on-yes,
up to him. But it seems too Uto.
Dian to think of. Let's draw the
veil. One would have to educate
The buying public up to such plane
as well as the advertisers who believe
in telling the public what they have
to sell, and the task is too stupen
dous.
The good business man is no,
stingy with printers ink, first, las

Of all the clays are the fint-fre clays.
