C. MEAD is attending the Head Camp of the Modern Woodmen of America, at Springfield this week / 0 Young Man, This is for You! 1. Save a part of your weekly earn­ ings. even if it be no more than a quarter dollar, and put your savings monthly in a savings bank* 2. Buy nothing till yoti can pay tot it, and buy nothing that you do not need. A young man who has grit enough to follow these rules will have taken the first step upward to success in business. He may be compelled to wear a coat a year longer, even if it be unfashionable; he may have toolive in a smaller house than some of his young acquaintances; his wife may not sparkle with diamonds, nor be resplendent in silk or satin just yet; his children may not be dressed as popin­ jays; his table may be plain but whole­ some, and the whizz of the beer or cham pagne cork may never be heard in his dwelling; he may have to get along without the earliest fruit or vegetables ; he may have to abjure the club room, the theatre and the gambling hell, and to reverence the Sabbath day and read and follow the precepts of the Bible instead: --but he will be the bettter off in every way for this self.discipline. Yes, he may do all these without detriment to his manhood, or health, or character. True, empty-headed lolks sneer at him and effect to pity him: but he will find that he has grown strong-hearted and brave enough to stand the laugh of the footish. He has become an independent man. He never owes anybody, and so he is no man's slave. He has become master of himself, and a master of himself will be­ come a leader among men, and prosper­ ity will crown his every enterprise. Young man, life's discipline and life's success come from hard work and early T|TE Concert announced to take place At the Universalist Church on Sunday next hns been postponed one week until Sunday Nov. 23d. Do NOT forget if you want a first class Auctioneer, to call on F. K. Granger, MclTenry. Or if more convenient we can fix dates for you at. this office. PERSONS having borrowed clocks be­ longing to J. P. Smith, the jeweler, are requested to return the pame at their earliest convenience, and greatly oblige liim.

This will bo good news to those wishing to take lessons as she is undoubtedly one of the best teachers that ever visited this village. MARSHAL McOMBERhad a boarder over Sunday at the Hotel de Lockup, who very generously made a donation to the village Treasury on Monday morning It, is said to be rather expensive board­ ing at this institution. No ONE should fail to read the new acL vortisement of Jacob Bonslett, Hardware dealer, which can bo found in another place in this paper. He has a large line of Cook and Heating Stove*, which he is selling at prices to suit the times. THE dancing public should bear in* fmind that there will be a Thanksgiving Party at the Riverside House in this vil­ lage. The best of music will be furnished, and a regular old-fashioned time may be ^expected, particulars hereaFEerT^--^ A.J.RAYMOND advertises an Auction Sale of stock, at his residence, in Volo, to *take place on Monday next, the l<th. This is all fine, blooded stock, and per­ sons looking for something nice should not fail to attend this sale, on Monday next. No MORE wearing quality than cheer­ fulness is known. It has been called the bright weather to the heart. It gives harmony to the soul, and is a perpetual song without words. It enables nature to recruit its strength: whereas worry and discontent debilitate it, involving constant wear and tear. ADVERTISING business men are the ones to patronize. They mean business and are not too stingy nor too indolent to let the people know what they have for sale and what they propose to do. We have always found liberal advertisers the best firms to deal with, and the fact that they make their business known shows that they do business on strictly correct business principles. • "How dear to this heart is the old yel­ low pumpkin, when orchards are barren of stuffing for pies; when peaches and apples have both been a failure, and berries of no kind have greeted the eyes; how fondly we turn to the fruit of the corn field--the fruit that our children are taught to despise--the old yellow pump­ kin, the mud-covered putnpkpv the big- bellied pumpkin that makes such good pies!" RAMBLER in Every Saturday, has the following: "An agricultural paper is au­ thority for the statement that "a rabid dog bit a cow's tail and it died." Poor dog, or was it the tail that died? And what became of the cow ? It is hoped the second installment of this mysterious ro­ mance will be published in the succeeding issue oH&^aforenientioned agricultural paper. Don*t leave us in doubt. Let us know what became of the heroine--the H.

Demorest Medal Contest. AtRingwood, Thursday evening, Nov. 23. Admission, adults ten cents, chil­ dren and contestants free.

Well, that iflHHPpMu condition. Buy a hen, feeJpP crumbs and waste from the kitchen and she will lay eggs enough to pay for a year's subscription; then work her up into a pot-pie and she will pay first cost; so the paper will be clear profit. Repeat thh pror*ss year after year, meanwhile learn wisdom and cease to be poor. THIS is the season to look after the household arrangements. Gasses which are very deleterious to health come from [cellars that are not properly ventilated. Diptheria, scarlet fever, typhoid fever nd croup have been known to be caused y the foul condition of the cellar. Those ho live in the upper stories should keep a constant watchfulness over the cellars and see to it that they are kept clean. THB cold seems a trifle backward about coming forward, and unless the merchants can discover some" Discourager of Hesi­ tancy," and apply it to the cold weather clerk in such a manner as to induce a ydrop of the murcury, prices will have to take a suddefi tumble. It is to be hoped that this will not be the case, as people can better afford to pay good prices for than to get the same goods at merchant's costs and endure another open winter. "WHY is it," asked a citizen of a reporter on a city paper, "that newspapers make so many misstatements? " "Well," said the reporter of 20 years' experience, "the papers have to tell, as most of the news, the stories that men like you tell them, and it is a moral impossibility for nine out of ten men to tell a thing as it really was. Some may tell it as it seemed to them but what one man will swear to as the truth the next man will characterize as a lie " A NEW song has made its appearance for public favor. It is dedicated to the Garden City, and entitled "She Got There Just The Same, the World's Fair, Chica­ go." The words are by H. J. Upthegrove and the music by Prof. W. F. Strong, both of Valparaiso. In a few weeks this piece of music will be sang all over the country. We predict for it a popularity equal to the "McGinty" Song. For sale by Chicago Music Co., 195 and 197 War bash Ave., Chicago, Illinois. /At a m. E. THE following is a very truthful remark: The man who grows up in his town is re­ garded as a boy by his elders until he is well started down the declivity of life that ends in a holer The stranger who Aomes into a place is more often pushed to the front than the young man who has grown up with the town. This is the reason why so many young men become l^dfaptisfied with their home surroundings cast their ot in other quar- Epworth Leag-ue. a meeting of the young people of the Church, Tuesday evening of last week, an Epworth League was organized It is hoped that this will be to the benefit of our commmunity both in a morale intellectual and religious sense. ^THE weather prophets are making the usual variety of predictions about the coining winter. Some say it is to be a severe one because the "rag-weed" has grown to an unusual height, and they "never knew this sign to fail." The "hor­ net's nest" prognosticator says that the winter is going to be open: and so it goes bv no end of signs. But we shall take the weather just as it comes, for all that we can see. What a fruitful subject for discussion and prediction the weather is, to be sure! Every other man you meet ejaculates that "it is a fine day," or "what bad weather we are having I" just as if you had lost all your senses and didn't know the fact just as well as he. How nonsensical it seems to be telling one another the news about the weather STRAW WANTED.

Literary Note. < Herbert Ward, in the preface to his "Five Years With the Congo Cannibals," tells the story of the Rear-Guard of the Stanley Expedition for the relief of Emin Pacha. The trials of those left behind by Mr. Stanley when he pushed forward, the fate of Major Barttelot and Mr. Jameson, and Mr. Ward's own part in the transac­ tions of that trying period form an im­ portant and interesting chapter in the history of Mr. Stanley's great anterprise. The unfortunate controversy now raging between Mr. Stanley aud the representa­ tives of Majar Barttelot renders Mr. Wards revelations as to that matter espec­ ially interesting aud valuable. Mr. Wards book contains many facts hitherto un­ known. A flood of light is thrown upon 'the condition and habits of the millions inhabiting the Congo basin. The illus­ trations ara truthful representations of the scenery, habitations and natives, made from original drawings by Mr. Ward while in Africa. This is the most important publication on the subject of late African exploration, and the con­ dition of the native races, that is likely to appear for many years. C. P. BARNES, Attorney.
