Trade that is not worth asking for is not worth having; and so a great many people think when they fail to see a business man's advertisement in the local paper The river has been very low during the past few days, (almost low enough to please the the people of Wilmot) ow­ ing to lack of rain and high south windt which hold the water back in the lakes Hard coal is now selling at $7.76 pel ton.

It was a cruel cut in some cases, but with Postmarter Waite it was the "un- kindest cut of all." Oh, how could you do it ? The Asher (Oklahoma) Altruist has the following to say regarding two former residents: "C. C. Chapell and L. H. Owen returned from the big shoot at El Reno yesterday.

There is al­ ways something to worry the agrieul turalist, but, then, everything usually turns out pretty good in old Illinoip. When we are inclined to grumble, we should think of our less fortunate broth­ er in Kansas.
