It will consist of Vocal and Instrumental Music, Readings,Recitations, etc., besides which the committee will be assisted in the programme by Mrs. Mattie E. Smith, of Chicago, who will introduce Musical dells, Cornet Solos, Banjo Juggling, etc., and J. W.

COUNTRY editors always remain poor, but that is because they are not mean enough to get rich. In order to get rich it is only necessary to trust nobody, to befriend none, to get everything and save all you get, to stint ourselves and everything belonging to ns, to be the friend of no man and have no man for our friend, to heap interest upon interest, cent upon cent, to be mean, miserable and despised for some thirty years and riches will follow as sure as disease and disappointment. And when pretty near enough wealth is collected by disregard of the human heart, at the expense of every enjoyment save that of wallowing in filthy meanness, death comes to finish the work. Country editors prefer to re­ main poor, live happy and die happy. Shooting Katch. fbe Annual Shooting Match at Vok>, Til., will take place on Thursday, Nov. 26th, '91.

" » _ i - On Friday afternoon test a fire broke out in the Hardware Store of R. C. Hill, in the village of Waufonda, and before it was under control, destroyed thebnM- iug, a portion of its contents and dam­ aged the adjoining buildings to a con­ siderable extent. It was only by the most superhuman efforts of the Firemen and citizens that the east portion of the village was saved. right here let us say that Wau­ conda has a Fire Department of which she has just cause to feel proud. A first class water hand engine and willing hands to work it, it was comparatively no time before two streams were playing on the burning mass, in which wooden buildings, roofing tar, oil and hay were mixed, and to a looker on it would seem that there was no chance to even save a single board, but the little engine did her work nobly and in less than an hour the fire was under control, and property enough saved to buy ten such engines. Truly Wauconda done herself proud when she purchased her engine and organized her Fire Department. We have been unable as yet to learn the estimated losses or amount of insur­ ance. R. C. Hill loses building and quite heavily on stock, as the fire spread so rapidly it was impossible to get out anything only in the main store. J. Mc Cabe's losses are damage to building and on stock and furniture bring removed. As soon aB the insurance men get aronnd it will be known more definitely as to the amount. This is Wauoonda's first fire of any account and she may consider herself lucky that she got off so cheap. Had there been a high wind there is no telling where it. would have stopped. The fire originated in an oil room adjoining the Hardware Store. LOVERS of fine Tea should not fait id call at John I. Story's and get a sample of the celebrated Silver Leaf Tea. It has no equal for purity, flavor and strength. 4k. ---------------------- Patronize Onr Own Merchants. As the holidays draw near there is gen­ erally an influx of Cheap John stores, itinerant venders of jewelry and fakirs that take advantage of the season to sell their wares. Good goods command at all times fair prices, and the vender that promisee to give something for nothing is either knave or fool--generally the former. Should these perambulating dealers pro­ pose to sell articles cheaper than our re­ liable business men, there is but one con­ clusion: They are handling inferior goods, have come by them dishonestly or intend to swindle their creditors. Watches, jewelry, precious stones, dress goods and the like should never be bought from others than men of standing and reputation. Persons established in business, who contribute every day to the support and prosperity of the city are entitled to your patronage. It is rank ingratitude for persons who receive their support from the public at home and do their shopping in Chicago. There is no surer or quicker way of killing a plage than this. Patronise home business houses and industries.

A RECENT issue of the Richmond Ga­ zette contained the following, the senti­ ment. of which we heartily endorse: In last week's Gazette was a notice to pensioners disabled on account of hernia, which, being hastily written, may convey a wrong impression as to the provisions of the law giving a new truss every two years to such disabled pensioners. It may have been inferred from my wording that the benefits of the law extend to all pensioners disabled by hernia, and thus would take in those pensioned under the late "Disability Act" of 1890. Such is not the fact. The act extends only to those pensioners who incurred hernia while in the service and in the line of duty, and so wiil not apply to large numbers pensioned under the act of July 27,1890. My thanks are due to Wm. H. Cowlin, Woodstock, whose long and untiring de­ votion to the interests of the veterans has endeared him to them all, for my at­ tention to the loose construction of the "Notice" mentioned. - And why, comrades, may I not in this connection call your attention to the phenomenal success of Mr. Cowlin as sol­ diers attorney before the different depart­ ments of the government? Of the many hundred claims he prosecuted for old sol­ diers, their widows and heirs, less than 6 per cent have been rejected. This is due to several reasons, chief among them are first, that Mr. Cowlin's comprehensive knowledge of the law enables him to know in a moment if a claim is tenable; secondly, the care exercised in preparing the original declaration as well as the testimony necessary to support it; and third, his untiring energy and bulldog perseverance when he takes hold of a claim. I have been acquainted with Mr. Cow­ lin's methods for years and firmly believe no more honorable or able attorney prac­ tices before the government departments. A claim intrusted to him will go through, if persistent, steady hammering will get it, through. S. F.BENNETT, Exam'g Surg'n for Pensions.
