FOR the benefit of those who' abhor printer's iuk as a prime factor to the ad­ vancement of their interest, we should state that Samson--the strong party-- was the first man to advertise.

A COMFORTING assurance, says an ex­ change, comes to those who live through an attack of the grip. It is announced from medical headquarters that this country is to suffer a scourge of the cholera next summer, and those who have had the grip will not be liable to an attack of the dread disease. Medical scientists claim that the grip serves the same purpose in preventing the cholera that vaccination cloes in preventing the small-pox. s COL. Wm. AVERY, County Clerk, was over from Woodstock last Saturday, to attend to some repairs on his house. Col. A very always has a cordial greeting from his old neighbors and friends.

A STORY is going the rounds of the press about a church deacon who recent­ ly answered an advertisement in a. paper which said: "Send me a dollar and learn how to make money quickly, easily." Anxious to acquire a competency without too much mental or physical exertion he folded up a dollar bill and anxiously awaited the answer. It came in a few days, explicit as he could desire: Follow our plan, look up all the fool suckers you can and get a dollar out of theiu. The amount iu each is small but the sucker's harvest is one that never gives out. THE new postage stamps are out. In­ stead of the number denoting the denom­ ination being iu the center of the stamp it is at the bottom. Qne figure is iu each of the bottom corners. The one-cent stamp is blue, with the head of Benjamin Franklin. The two-cent stamp has the head ol Washington. It is a fine cut. The three-opnt, like the two-cents, has Washington's heady.The four-cent stamp has Jacksc^j while a change has been made iu the' tive-ceut stamp by placing the potrait of Grant on instead of Gar­ field. Garfield has been promoted, and his head ornaments the six-cent stamps. I THE Drama of "Dot, the Miner's Daugh­ ter," at Riverside Hall, on Thursday and 'Friday evenings last, hy the McHenry Dramatic Association, drew out good houses, and was v«ry highly spoken of by all who attended, and in fact was pro- nouueed the best entertainment of the kind ever brought out in this village.

The judicious ad­ vertiser is like the Competent farmer who does not wait until harvest time to sow his seed. After the rush of holiday trade there is always a comparatively dull season. But good business man does not sit down and say, "Now I sit down and wait until next Christmas.^ He knows that there is always a certain volume of trade, and he also knows that the trade is attracted by those who seek it. So he keeps his name, his location and his goods before the public eye--and he gets the trade. Moreover it is the experience of all good advertisers that advertising not only attracts trade; but it also creates it. The advertisement suggests wants, a«d by also suggesting the case of supply makes of thehalf felt want an insistant demand. The diligent man grows rich while sluggards sleep, because he knows that all seasons belong to him. --Ex.

Ladies and gentlemen who are troubled thus, or who are compelled to keep late hours, do much mental or physical work, or worry or fret about business or domestic troub­ les, should remember that no other remedy in the world will so speedily cure t hese diseases, remove worry or the blues, induce tranquil sleep, relieve pain, and build the brain and nerveous system as Dr. Miles'great discovery the Restorative Nervine.
