A CIGARETTE is a roll of paper, tobacco aud drugs, with a small fire at one end and a large fool at the other. Some of its chief enjoyments are condensed night­ mare, fits, cancer of'the lips and stomach spinal mengitis, softening of the brain, funeral processions and families shroud­ ed in gloom. There are plenty of suo- jects left, however, who are perfectly will­ ing to undeigo trials of such a trival na­ ture for the sake of putting on a certain? amount of style. TAKING everything into consideration the Lake County Agricultural Society is: as libgfal in, the amount of premiums paid as any Society in the State. The races are always filled and np occasion arises which causes a postponment of races, or to raise the amount of-the purses in order to fill races. The mana­ gers Of the Society are careful and meth odical business, men and giye the Fair all due consideration and therefore the suc­ cess of the exposition is - always, assured before the opening day.

LIZZIE NICHOLS, formerly of Mc­ Henry, was married to G. L. Congdon, at her home; 350 Chicago street, Elgin, on Monday evening, at 5:^0 P. M,. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Alcott, of Elgin, in the presence of a few intimate friends of "the contracting parties. The happy couple was supported by Miss Grace McDonald and Attorney John L. THE fOllPMng is capital good advice, and many lives would be lengthened if it were followed: "If .you have a little farm or.a little business, and are out of debt, don't fret, and work yourself and wife into the grave for the sake of mak­ ing money. You have but one life to live and it is very hard at best. Take a little pleasure and comfort as you go along day by day, and try to do good to others. Morbid, unsatisfied desire to possess the earth, to grab everything in sight, is at the foundation of mote misery than most any one thing. Wealth alone will never keep your memory green after you are gone--good life and kind actions will. I THOS. BURKE informs US that on Octo- er 1st he will again assume control of is Market, on Water street, in this vil- age, and will be prepared ,to pay the ighest price, in cash, for hides, pelts, poultry, veal, etc.. and also serve his old customers with Fresh and Salt Only one Chance Offered, Meats of all kinds, of the beet quality" There is only one chance in every per- A GOO.D story is told in July Harpers of an Irishman who came to this coun try and in the course of time became quite wealthy although his first occupa­ tion was wielding a pick. As his wealth increased, his wife grew more and more aristocratic, and it was a great annoy­ ance to her if any mention was made of Part's-first labors. In an unfortunate hour Pat was taken ill and died. The friends contributed generously of flowers among them being an anchor. After all Was arranged in a proper way,' the sor­ rowing widow was taken into the room to look over the tributes sent. Loud was the weeping and wailing until the widow spied the anchor when she turned and demanded in an excited tore: "Who the divil sint that pick? " THE statement attributed to" John Wanamaker that he considered a one ch advertisement in a small country wspaper more effective than one hun- [ed thousand circulars, received a re arkable illustration recently when Sec­ tary McDonald, of the Portland (Me.) L*oung Men's Christian Association stood up in a meeting of the organization and stated that he was curious to know what method of advertising reached the most people, lie had circulated several thous­ and little dodders giving notice of the meeting and he requested those who had seen them and had been moved to come by that means to rise. The hall wras packed with people and of the entire number only fifteen arose. Then Mr. McDonald asked those to rise who had been inlluenced to come by the notices in the newspaper, and the vast majority of the audience stood upon its feet. f THE Crown Piano, exhibited at the Woodstock Fair, by O. W. Owen, agent for McHenry county, was the center of attraction in Floral Hall, and was pro­ nounced by the best musicians to be the finest instrument, tone and everything considered, to be found on the market. The Orchestral Attachment was the won­ der of all, not only for the wonderful music it produced, but for its simplicity as well, Owing to the crowd that con­ stantly surrounded this piano we were unable to get near enough to closely ex­ amine it at the Fair, but have siuce done so at the residence of Mr. Owen, and can truly say this attachment is a wonderful piece of mechanism, and with it the Crown Piano is readily^stamped the lead­ ing instrument of the day. Parties at the Fair, representing another piano spent their entire time making erroneous statements in relation to -the Crown, which tended to show they were afraid of of it as a competitor and only went to advertise the Crown and show their lit­ tleness. Persons who contemplate buy- ng a piano and were,unable to see this ane at the Fair should not fail to call on ~). W. Owen, seethe Crown &nd hear it ilayed. It will talk for itself. son's lifetime, which, if taken advantage of, leads to prosperity and happiness. That chauce is offei-ed now and it may be yours, as it relates to good farming land at from fa to $ 10 per acre in Cen­ tral Wisconsin, Clark county.

The Solon school board have placed the house in finecondition. It is painted inside and out. A ventilator, connecting with the outside walls has been placed under the stove, thereby securing an abundance of fresh air. Such a contriv­ ance is inexpensive, but its value to the health and comfort of the school cannot be measured- By adopting these im­ provements the Solon School Board have shown that they are humane, prac­ tical and progressive. It is an astonish­ ing fact that in the last decade of the 19th century, with all its knowledge of health, a large majority of the public buildings are truly death traps. Think of, say, 40 persons confined one and one- half hours in a school room, breathing over and again the foul air loaded with impurities thrown off from the lungs, feet and skin. Yet when diphtheria or scar­ let fever breaks out and death claims the boy or girl who is the sunshine of tlie home, we are gravely told that "the Lord has seen fit to take them away." What impious rot. School opened on Monday. There were present a large number of young ladies and gentlemen, the coming men and women. All show that they are here to make the best possible use of their time. All take to the work with relish and zeal, and we predict a success­ ful! session.

'Ho Fourtid His Fort^jf A young man from a rural village who \vas .somewliat of a scapegrace around his native heath recently came tortlie city and gp^ai job as a street car condiic|pr. After he had been at Work a few weeks ho went home to spend a day. He told'all kinds of stories of his sterling worth in tj,ie city. Here's one that tickled his father: "The other day I \vas coaling down Main street with a car jammed with people. When 1 got near the center of the business section, a well dressed man stepped out. #oget off the car. As he did so he said I hollered the names of1 the streets the plainest of any conductor he ever rode with. He invited me to come Up and see him at his place of business. I went there the'pext day, and he gave me a box of 10 cent cigars." "I knew that b6y would make his mark if h<3 onee got into the city, " ex­ claimed the old man. --Buffalo Courier. . . . Shied at the Elevator. The first experience of Nasrullah Kliau, the Afghan prince, with a lift, or elevator, occurred in a hotel in Bir­ mingham. He refused to.enter the car, and finally,-yielding to persuasion, sent one of the hotel porters np in order that he might see lioW the elevator worked. Even this didn't satisfy him, for when the porter came down he sent his page boy up. When the. boy came down,-he sent his entire, suit np. Upon their.^re­ turn" they reported everything all right, but - the - priuce;was not satisfied even' then. Pausing .a moment", he suddenly decided against the lift, and turning away .mounted, the stairs aud walked up.--London World.; '• \ V Business Locals. A Question For the Scientists. So far as known no writer 011 evolu­ tion has taken account of the steady and remarkable growth of hailstones. There was a time when the regulation size was about that of a small pea. From this it has increased through various stages to the size of a marble, a hickory^ nut and a hen's egg until now we hear of hailstones "larger than baseballs," and it is not even stated how much larger. Can it bo that this continuous growth is an effort 011 the part of nature to respond to the increasing demand for new sensations, or what is it. and where will it end?--Minneapolis Journal. In the Sickroom. Patient (gasping for breath)--Oh, doctor, I feel so weak and ill! If the house were 011 fire, I don't think 1 should have the strength to get out of bed.

Benjamin, editor of the Spec­ tator, Rushford, N. Y., says: "It may be a pleasure to you to know the high esteem in which Chamberlain's medicines are held by the people of your own state, where they must be best known. An auut of mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to visit me a few years since, and before leaving home wrote me, asking me if they were Bold here, stating if they were not she would bring a quan­ tity with her, as she did not like to be without them." The medicines referred to are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures of colds and croup; Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheuma­ tism, lame back, pain in the sides and chest, and Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy for bowel com­ plaints. These medicines have been in constant use in Iowa tor almost a quar­ ter of a century. The people have learn­ ed that they are articles of great worth and merit, and unequaled by any other.* They are for sale here by J. A. Story. No. 1 fine salt, $1 per barrel, at S. Stoffel's.
