The dealer who has the gooda and can make the prloes to de­ serve the patronage, seldom (ails to notify the public of the fact ID the col­ umns of the local paper most exten­ sively read.

There is rlmson on the maple leaver Light and dark horses are prancing In the political field. Young ladies are put­ ting car-tails in tall vases on the man­ tle. The churches hive resumed. The oyster is reasserting It so If. The days are shorter. The fuel bills are largei. The harvest is pasl. The an.ateur botanist iias pressed the last rose of summer, and summer Itself has ended. No# that winter will soon be here, we advise young men to make prepara­ tions to attend some good school dur­ ing the winter months. Many young men are securing a business education which fits them for getting on In the world. We know of no better school to attend than the Metropolitan Busi­ ness College of Chicago. This College has a wide reputation and is doing a great work. It has a faculty ol ted professors, and an attendance of abouf!; 400 students. The Principal. Mr. O. M. Powers, is a thoroughgoing business man, and the College is a live school. THE Joh nsburgli Church Fair, which takes plan: on Wednesday of next week, afternoon and evening, promises to be a highly interesting and enjoy­ able aflalr. The Mi-Henry Military Band will be in attendance. Dinner will he served from 1 to 6 p. M. and Supper from 8 to 12, and nulling will be left undone t3 make It pleasant for all. The Steamer "Mary Griswoid" will make numerous trips during the day and evening for the accommodation of all who wish to go. Remember the time. Wednesday, Oct. 7th. afternoon and evening. WHEN a man says that newspapers amount to nothing--that he wouldn't have a country paper, and then borrows his neighbor's paper to steal the news he Is too stingy to pay for, we like it. When a man pretends he is in favor of building op his town and suppor ting homo Industries, and then sends away from home for his dry goods,groceries, etc., and gets his jol> printing done In he city, we like it. When a man 6aya It don't pay to advertise, "coz" no one will read it. and then "flies all to pieces"because of a two line local that don't suit liiui, we like It. Ye*, we like a fool, we do. THE reason why editors and printers are so well preserved has been account­ ed for by anatomists. Their declara­ tion Is that "work Is the essence of our existence and enjoyment here, and our happiness hereafter." Fourteen hours d ally labor in a printing room or as a common laborer, woulJ probably in duce a change of view In tne minds of these "bone" theorists. It probably never entered their one idea minds that % vacation of a month Is enjoyed by laborers as well as scientific theory builders. It Is an old saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." THERE will be a meeting of the Cemetery Aid Society on Friday of this week, October 3d, at Mrs. Julia Blshop't, commencing at 3 o'clock. It Is earuestly hoped that all tha ladies who are Interested in this work will attend tfels meeting. It Is time for the election of officers, now please coma and help us. We do not believe you would wish this work to be drop­ ped. It is right and proper we should care for the last resting place of our loved ones. The officers in charge at present feel It a heavy responsibility and wish your hearty cooperation with them. Don't forget the date, Friday, October 2d, at 3 o'clock. SECRETARY. Teaehera Fxamlnatlons.

Chas.C. Bonney. when practicing law in Peoria, played a similar trick on a coal dealer. One of the dealers teimsters iiad delivered a load o( coal to Mr. Bonney which was Intended for his neighbor. When the error wafc discovered the coal man call ed on Mr. Bonney and in a jocular man ner asked him his advico, giving a hypothetical cue. The attorney gave an opinion that if the coal was used it must be paid tor. A bill for seven dollars, accompanied by the weight ticket signed by his wife was present­ ed to him for payment. Bonney ad­ mitted Its correctness but Immediate ly made out a countercharge of ten dpl- Isrs attorney's fees for his advice In the case, and forced the funny coal dealer to pay the three dollars or stand a law suit.

AHKAKOKMKNT COM, FELLOW CITIZENS:--We approach you with a request you will, wo are fully convinced ot it, not refuse, hut Kraut gladly and checriully, for not only are you going to help thereby a good and useful work, but you also will be plentifully rewarded. The Catholic Community of Johns* burgh, with great endeavors and large expenses, has succeeded in building its own beautiful church, tha chaste beauty of which is an ornament to tha county, yea, tp the whole State. The outltys the community had to undergo for the erection of the building and its furniture were very heavy, but cheer­ fully tUdaachona uotftribute accord­ ing to his means. Still there could not be done quite enough, and the com­ munity sees itself obliged to Jook for further aid at the hands of its fellow citizens. In order to do this In a pleasant way, and still to be enabled to raise the yet necessary funds, it was resolved to arrange a Fair, and full of confidence the various committees elected for the purpose approach their fellow citizens, requestjng their aid. There is a good work to be done, and no good citizen ought to try to evade it. Every one taking an Interest in the public welfare, every one not put­ ting his Individual advantage above "that of the common interest,every one widiing that religion and It ministers be supported will, as we firmly hope, take part in tiie Fair arranged by us. Should anyone be preveuted from put­ ting in his personal appearance, he may at leaet show his good will by some material aid, which will be aver so gratefully accepted. Fellow Citizens: There Is little asked of you! What you give you receive back again, for it is our firm belief that no one visiting the Fair will ever regrer. having done so. The charming boat ride on our beautiful river, a con­ cert given by a skilled and complete military baud, the hope of being the lucky winner of a fine present, a deli­ cious supper, and last, but not le tst, a merry ball, are attractions well worth their price. Naw then, fellow citizeus come one, come all, pass a merry night in the midst of your friends and bring home with you the happy remem­ brance, also the con fiction: It was a good work we helped to further, • J.

Prepared Dxpressly for the PLAINDKALBR by Oar Own Correspon lont. CHICAGO, Sept. 28,1885. The farmers of the West have evi­ dently begun to sell some of tbeir new wheat as receipts are Increasing slightly. The wheat prospect as a Whole is considered a strong one. If prices are not rushed up here too strong by the speculators, and England does not go back on us by refusing to purchase--and there is no reason why she should--there will certainly be better prices in the latter part of the year. The market to-day was some­ what weaker and lower. Corn Is aleo weaker and lower under the influence of large receipts and a decline^on previsions. The farmers seem anxious to get rid of their old com, hence the large receipts. The Oat market is quiet and prices remain about the same. Rye is quiet with light receipts which keeps prices up. Barley Is Arm. The Butter market is rather slow, the demand being limit- e»'. Eggs sell at good prices. Poultry is only in email demand and prices somewhat lower. Vegetables slow. The receipts of Cattle to day was 9,000 against 7,84*2 last week at 3»me time. There is a good dressed beef trade, and this class sell at higher prices than has been quoted for some time. Tex- an« are In suit)! demand witli a large supply In the market. The Hog mar­ ket is rather irregular, on best heavy shipping lots prices are'higher, but on rough and common there is very little ilemanJ and low prices.
