-Chas. Hoffman, of Ladysmith,

Tax sale yesterday, but too late
TO get into this issue. However,
anything is news, until it has been
published in the Herald.
Lawrence Hickok, of Blooming
ton, passed through Lancaster yester-

attending the U. of w.
The Junior Aid of the M. E.
church will give dime social and

Those shingles that are being
put on the Jail are of the asbestos
breed. They are warranted not to
burn, and it is claimed they will turn
water as well as fire.
Again The Herald is full of in
Eeresting advertising. We can't help
1T, for every merchant with the right
kind of sense will advertise, and will
place his appeal in the sheet that is
most widely read. Go over these
advertisements carefully; they con-
tain world of good advice. Lam
caster IS fine market for the pur-
chasing of supplies. Patronize it.
To begin with, read the advertise
ments of the local merchants.
1t is amazing how blooming
human preachers are coming to be
these days. We were in an ice cream
parlor" the other evening when
three Lancaster preachers came in
together. Evidently they had been
doing some heavy scheming to cir
cumvent old Mr.. Satan and felt the
need of refreshment. They sat down
and one of them, probably the host
for the party, said: "I'l take a
buttermilk sundea, fellows; what
will you have?" They were modern
ministers Of the gospel, and they
acted and talked just like human
beings. Surely the world is doing
better right along.
Again we are called upon to
give out some free advertising. The
Piatteville Normal is out with its
catalogue for summer school, and we
are asked in a letter from Mr.. Will
gus to give publicity to the catalogue.
Why should we be asked to publish a
free notice? Simply because the
newspaper men of this country have
been suckers for more than 100 years
The Platteville Normal has money to
pay Mr.. Wilgus for debating us a
letter; it has money to pay for print
ing the catalogue; it has money to
pay for stenographer to write Mr..
.Wilgus' s letter; it has money to pay
postage; it has money to pay for
everything, except publicity. With
out the publicity given it by the
press there would be no Platteville
Normal-not for very long. If the
newspapers stopped printing every
thing they were not paid for, the
Platteville Normal would not last
two years. In other words, if we
put our services on the same basis as
Prof. Hilgus puts his services there
would be no Normal at Platteville.
Money for everybody, except the
newspaper, - is not good motto, but
1T seems to keep the mare a-going.
Nevertheless, if you want copy of
the catalogue of the Platteville
Normal just send to Prof. James
A. Wilgus, Platteville, Wis, and
he will send it to you, post paid.
Help yourself to the catalogue, also
TO our doctrine of grating on the
newspapers. They're easy.
