You will hear some business men say, "I have been in business here for many years, and if anybody wants anything in my line they know where to find me." If theyvlook back they will be able to recall the names of many customers who were drawn away from them by more enter­ prising business men who always kept their business before the public through the columns of the local papers and in­ vite people to call on them.

Jordan, who die<^ at the home of bis mother, at Water- town, South Dakota, on Friday last, March lGth. Mr. Jordan was for many years a resident oi this village, where he has hosts of friends who will be pained to learn of his death. At this late hour< we have not the time to speak of him ad vejuab, hut shall do so in the nekr future. / Jos. THALEN, while attempting to jump a' freight train about two miles south of this village, On Friday last, was thrown across the track, breaking his leg below the knee. He rolled off into the ditch and lay there nearly two hours and was finally discovered by the Pay Car, which was passing, and was picked up and brought to this village. His leg was bad# ly swollen which made it difficult to setl but under the skillful care of Dr. Fegeral it is getting along as well as could be ; expected, ile will undoubtedly beJaid, sUp for some time. OWING to sickness we were prevented from bearing the third lecture of the course, which was given by Rev. C. k. Moore, at the city Hall, on Thursday evening last, and that we missed a rich literary treat is evidenced by the high encomiums we hear on every hand by those who were there. His subject, "The Stan of the Times," was handled in a manner to both interest and please his audience, and proved him to be an ora­ tor who has few equals on the rostrum to-day. He spoke for about one hour and thirty-five minutes, and we have heard many say that they would have been glad to have listened an hour long­ er. If the Rev. Mr. Moore ever comes this way again we can assure him a good house and an attentive audience. THE CAUCUSES. The Democratic and Peoples' Caucuses for the nomination^ of Town Officers, were both held on Saturday last, as per ^notice, and passed off in the most quiet anner. The following were the nomi­ nations made: F PEOPLE'S CAUCUS. For Town Clerk--Chas. H. Granger. For Assessor--John Huemann. For Collector--John H. Freund. For Commissioner of Highways- Jacob Stock. DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS. For Town Clerk--Frank Barbian. For Assessor--John Huemann. y For Collector--John Justen. \For Commissioner of Highways-- Ja^obStock. EVERY time you stand on the street corner and curse the town and the coun­ try and swear that you have given your last cent to public improvement and in­ vested the last dollar in property, you are a social anarchist, and ought to be expelled from the community. But every time you speak well ot the town and country and have an encouraging word for the poor man who is struggling to get a home, you become a public bene­ factor. ONE sad feature in connection with the death of Mrs. J. Hurrelle, two weeks ago, was the fact that she left an infant daughter, about fifteen months old, who it was thought it would be necessary to send to the Home of the Friendless, a sad thing to think of at all times. But we are glad now to be able to state that Mrs. F. K. Granger, in her well known goodness of heart, has stepped in and saved this little innocent one from such a fate and adopted it as her own. This insures it a good home, the kindest of attention and care and a future bright and pleasing to think of, for which all good people will rejoice. This is a world of trials and sorrows at the best and when a good angel steps in and relieves one innocent like this they are entitled to the full measure of praise therefor. God bless the baby and its benefactress. MORE deplorable than death is insan­ ity. If there is a c'ass of unfortunates in the world who should be tenderly and wisely cared for it is the insane. Alas, it is only too common that these poor, afflicted persons are placed in the bands of brutal attendants, in whom feelings of the commonest humanity seem lacking. The papers have recently contained ac­ counts of the abuse of insane people ter­ rible enough to set one's blood on fire. It ought to be made so hot for persons guilty of such things that they will not notice the difference when they pass out of this world into a still more torrid j<&imate.-~ifrAa£t0Z2 Index THE Ringwood Cemetery Aid Society will meet at J.

IN one of our exchanges we note the rather peculiar circumstance of how a 10 year-old boy came home from school and told his parents that an order had gone out that children must be "assassinated." It was learned that the extraordinary edict was due to precaution against small-pox. There is more truth in that error than many suppose. SOME men try advertising as an Indian tried sleeping on feathers. He took one feather, laid it on a board and slept on it all night. In the morning he remarked: "White man say feather heap soft; white man heap big fool." Some men invest 50 cents in advertising, and then, be­ cause they dp not realize a big increase in business, declare that advertising doesn't pay. CLOSING I will offer my entire stock of Dry Goods, Groceries, Boots and Shoes, Haft, Caps and Notions at actual cost to close. This is positively a closing Sale, and not an advertising dodge. The buy­ ing public will do well to take advantage of this opportunity. JOHN I. STOEY. ; AN exchange furnishes the following list of nine classes of people who do a town JIO good. First, those who go out of town to do9 their trading. Second, those opposing improvements. Third, those who prefer a quiet town to one of push and business. , Fourth, those who imagine they own the town. Fifth, those who think business be done slyly without advertising. Sixth, those who deride public spirited men. Seventh, those who oppose every movement that does not originate with themselves. Eighth, those who oppose §very spirit­ ed enterprise that does not appear to benefit them. Ninth, those who seek to injure the credit of an individual. 10 DOSES, 10 CENTS.

Merchants from the west are coming to Nunda to purchase their stock of goods. 0. C. Colby and his whole force, have been busy the past week, billing and packing large boxes of Dry Goods and Notions, to be shipped to Iowa. Nunda has wide-awake business men. It has the best railroad service of any town in the county, and taking the railroad advan­ tages into account is the most central point in the county, with low passenger rates and good time to Chicago which gives it advantages that no other town in this county has.

Golding; Assessor, Albert* Raught; Collector, Wilber Cook; Commissioners of High­ ways, J. W. Acker and W. J. Torrence. The educational entertainment at the hall on Saturday evening was a fine one. The orchestra, the male quartette and all of the four speakers acquitted them­ selves in ajcreditable way. Seventeen of the young people from McHenry were present. This is a good showing and we wish to thank them for coming. Wau- conda is a good place to go to if you want a good time. Come again. When a stranger is looking for a vil­ lage in which to locate, one of the first things to which he gives his attention is the state of the public buildings. If he should desire to locate in our village and got a good glimpse of our school house, it would be an eloquent factor in driving him from town. Wauconda has the poorest school building for a town of its resources in the state. If this statement is exagerated, it is nothing to the credit of Wauconda. The old frame building has stood the test of years, and is now as far out of date as all things else of the time when it was constructed. The blinds have blown from the windows, the paint has fallen from its dirty exterior and the whole thing is the personification of decrepit old age. Joined to it on one side is a white elephant, indeed. But to call it white would show a total disre­ gard for the truth, for through its one coat of faded white-wash, the yellow pine boards can be plainly seen. Even the knot holes of the inferior lumber used in its construction are visible. We pride ourselves on our school, and well we may for we certainly do have a fine school hidden away in the old shell, we call sehool house. SPRING GROVE. N GREAT men are usually said to have great memories, but it does not follow that all who have great memories are great men. An idiot in Ohio was a great curiosity many years ago. He knew the whole bible by heart from beginning to end, and if any verse was read or repeat­ ed to him he would tell exactly in what book and chapter it was to be found, and its versemumber in the chapter. He was considered a great marvel in this particular, but in every other he was a mental imbecile, and could not be trusted even to feed himself. New Spring Millinery. MRS. E. W. HOWE.
