Ayer's Cherry Pectoral proves by forty years' experience, a cure for this disease, when not already beyond the reach of medical aid. Eyen then Its use afford* great relief and insures refreshing sleep. WHY IS a newspaper like a pretty woman? Cp bo perfect it must be the embodiment of many types. Its form Is made up. It Is always chased, though ^Inclined to be glddv. It enjoys f good press; the more rapid the better. It has a weakness for gossip. Talks a good deal. Can stand some praise, and Is awful proud of a new dress. 'E learn that a man by the ntme of Doollttle, living near Hainsevllle, was burned>to death on Saturday night last. We have not learned full partic ulars, only that his house was on fire and after saving his wife and children be went back for something else and the roof fell in upon b*u». The house and furniture was totally destroyed. THE editor of the Stark" County Enterprise goes for its delinquent sub scribers as follows: "We wish once more to remind our delinquent sub scribers (and they all know as well as we who we are speaking to) thit they must pay up or be erased from our list. We cannot send you the paper year after year and get no returns for It. If you want the paper pay for it, and we want you to have it. But if you don't want it, pay up what you owe and stop it like a man; don't sneak It back to the postmaster with the remark: '1 Jtt^t want It. any longer.'" / > ON Wednesday night of last week R. Bishop's Mill. In this village was entered by burglars and somewhere from Ave to ten dollars in change taken from the draw, Mr. Bishop did not know exactly the amount^there. The same night the Blacksmith shop of Norquest & Weber was entered and a quantity of nails and a few other ar- ticleetHken, Whllq, in this Instance the actual loss Is but a trifle, still It wirns us that burglars are*In our midst, and It behooves' every m in to prepare to give them a warm reception No quarters should be shown these sneaking night prowler*. "Shoot them on the spot," is the best medicine. /^PARTIES will send their money to Chicago for dry goods and groceries and clothi ig and printing, etc., jvten they could do as well or better rigli t here at home. But some of our busi ness men are guilty of the same prac tlce. They will give an order for printing to a glib tongued drummer who cuts ,25 cents under home prices, and then pay 50 cents express charges and spot cash for the job. This cut throat way of doing business does nor pay. Whenever possible, buv at home, thus observing the golden rule. And this practice will be found pecuniarily profitable also, for it keeps the circu lating medium at home, where It uiay flow back into your till again. But beyond any selfish consideration, the business men. who pay the taxes and who build tile churches and th% school houses, and give their tiiue and means to the success and prosperity of a place are fairly entitled to the patronage ot the public. ONE of the greatest trials of the newspaper profession is that its mem bers are compelled to see more of the Bhame of the world than any other profession. Through every newspaper office, day after day, go all the weak- uestes ot the world; all the vailties that want to be puffed; all the revenges that want to be reached; all the mis takes that want to be corrected; all the dull speakers who want to be thought eloquent; all the meanness that wants to get <ts wares noticed gratis in the editorial columns, ii^ order to save the tax bf the advertisinfTcolumns; all the men who want to be set right who were never right; all the crack-brained philosophers with stories long as their hair, and gloomy as their flnger-oails In the morning because bereft of soap --all the bores who come to stay Are minutes and ttlk fire hours. Through the editorKl and reportoriai room, all the .follies and shams of '.he world are seen day after day, and the temptation is to believe In neither God, man or woman. It is no surprise to me that In this profession there are skeptical men; I only wonder that journalists believe anything.--DeWitt Tdlmage. Great Redaction.
