DON'T attempt to cheat the printer out of anything you may owe him," wiites Bill Nye.

TRAVELING men -- "drummers" as they are often called--pick up a large amount of worldly Wisdom, ^Tliey knew a snide thing when they see it.-- To illustrate, an exchange tells it in thl8 way: A printer recently walked into ^t certain business house cn his ro.unds to see who desired anything in the way of advertising,and noticed a drumtiiersrauiMug by the counter with a sample readfy to open. "Anything you desire to say In the paper this ween?" inquired the printer of the man behind the counter, "No," said business (?) man.- I don't believe In advertisng* I do not give a d---in for all the advertising.61" The drummer waited until the printer was halfway to the door, then slowly taki ng up tils sample valise reo&rked: "Well, that 1 ats me out. 1 do not care to sell on time to any man who in this ehlighN ened age does not believe in advertis­ ing. I prefer to deal with live men -- When I want to strike up a trade with a dead man I'll go to the graveyard and swap tombstones. Good day, sir." 8 HOW DO Its IT LOOKf ^ Why will people buy of peddlars In preference to our regular and responsi­ ble dealers? The package peddlar has been around again, and some of our taimer8 became his willing ^victims. We hear of several Instances where they have purchtsed packages or bun­ dles at prices varying fro u fifty to eighty dollars. The packages contained some things a family needed and other which were of no practical use. For instance, a small family bought a bun­ dle because it was cheap (f), wnlch was composed of material principally Tot coats and pants. When that cloth is made Into suits they will cost mote than a good suit can be purchased of oar responsible dealers. Besides the piece was a large oue, and hence there are several dollars tied up in cloth which cannot be used for years, per­ haps. There are those Paisley khawls, which were sold so cheap, but whicli turn out to be nothing but cotton. If such a shawl was bought of our local dealer, and the party was deceived, the offending party would be here aud satisfaction could be had, but the ped- dlar, where, oh, where is he? No one knows where he is. and no one has any chance to get even with him. It is not so with our local dealers, they stay hr us a^d we should stay by them; they are Responsible, and we should deal only with responsible meu. Then there are the jewelry peddlars, wli0 8ell their goods at prices from 10 to 20 per cent higher than H^e same goods can be bought of oar dealers, Ourdealers are fair men, and ask only a living profit. They are here among us and spend their money with us* while the peddler is here to day atA away to morrow. If they can sell goods at so much less than the peddler and still make enough to pay their taxes, what must the profit of the hawker be who • pays no taxes or license? which of the two classes is It for our interest to patronise? There Is no question In our mind on the mat­ ter. The m in who lives here who pays taxes here, who spends hismouey here, who dare not misrepresent his goods who litis the interest of his town at heart--that Is the man who should be patronized lu preferance to the migra. tory, irresponsible hawkers and ped dlars.--Richmond Gazette.

The wheat market to-d«y is rather irregu­ lar. From the high price of wheat reached a week ago there has been a decline of 8} cents a bushel. Thl* brings the market much nearer a ship­ ping basis and so puts it in a healthier condition. Advioes from the North­ west iodlcated a free movement ror wheat from the farmers and a week or so longer will fill up all the public storage capacity of St Paul, Duluth and Minneapolis. Still a majority of owners and holders are firm believers In the future of wheat notwithstanding the unpi ecedentedTmagnl tude of exist­ ing supplies, The corn market does not varv any to speak of In price, and about all that can be stfd of it is that the market is dull but firm. Our re­ ceipts are fair to good. There is but little trading in corn a?compared with wheat, and the market attracts but IIttla attention at present. Oats are fairly active and a shade higher. Rye Is lower and dull. Barley is In fair demand. The tradeja the cattle mar­ ket is Inclined to be"dull, with a larice supply lert over fro a last week. The outlook for a strong and active week Is not as bright as sellers would desire. Hog market active and prices advanced a good 5 cents all around. The supply on hand meets with Egood demand.

Dear Sfr : As the time for the Annnal Meeting of the McHenry Oonnty Agricultural Board ap­ proaches, to-wit: the Urst Monday in Decem­ ber next, it behooves every ; friend of the institution to be up and doing in behalf of lu future success. At the last annnal meeting* among other proceedings, tbe following ap­ pears of record: "On motion of Asa W, 3mtth, the following was read and carried: WBBBBAS, The McHenry County Agricul­ tural Board is indebted for money loaned in the sum of Forty Four Hundred and (Fifty Dollars, now, therefore, Hetolved, That said Board issue 3crip in amounts of Five Dollars or upwards In mul­ tiples of Five Dollars, at seven per cent. Interest, conditional, that as often a> the annual fairs yield a surplus over and above the current expenses, inclusive of acciued interest, said surplus shall be pro-rated in discharge or payment of the principal ot said scrip. Provided, said scrip hereby author­ ized be limited to the amount ef Twenty-Two Hundred and Twenty-Five Dollars, and ap­ plied in the payment of the indebtedness ot that sum to Thomas McD. Richards. And be it further Resolved, That a committee be appointed to solicit subscribers for said scrip, and to countersign the same. . Moved and carried that Asa W, SritKn be chairman of that committee, with power to select his owu assistants." On the passage thereof 1 hastily drafted the following, vis: 'We, whose names are hereunto annexed in- consideration of our desire to relieve tbe Mc­ Henry County Agricultural Board of its in. debteduess, promise to pay into the Treasury of said Board the sum set opposite our respec­ tive names, and accept the scrip in consider* ation therefor, as authorized by said Board( by resolution of said Board passed on the first day of December A l>, 1884. Since the date of the above I have spent more time, witnou t expectation of fee or reward, financially, in the efiort to raise tbe amount so authorized, and while I am under great personal obliga­ tions to each one who has favored the enter­ prise by subscribing, I feel that there are many others, who are equally Interested and who were relied upon to subscribe, who as yet have either refused when solicited or neglected to volunteer their subscription. Were this, a joint stock concern, where tbe managers were running on a basis purely for personal benefit, as a people we weald be justifiable in letting it stand or Call on the personal efforts of those financially interested. But it Is tar otherwise. It is a people's insti­ tution, irun in the interest of every citizen ef McHenry County. "It gives us credit abroad, thereby inducing men of enterprise and means to seek homes among us. It ensures stability and prosperity at home by stimulating a •'noble emulation of who can best work and best agree," and I appeal to every individual who attended our list Fair, was there not an nm*tiAR «t prsde on witnessing the grand dis­ play of the products of our County, the gen­ eral prosperity of our oitisnns.ftnd lust but not least, on listening to that best of grand addresses, as it fell from the lips, piompted from the sincerity or the heart of the people's and the soldier's friend, the gallant Rishard J. Oglesby. Every person who purchased a membership ticket -it our last Fair, and every person who holds a life membership, is entitled to vote, and is eligible to any office of the Board, and all such are earnestly urged to attend at our annual meeting and unite in devising ways and means, of not only maintaining our al­ ready acquired reputation for stupendous expositions, but of making^, it possible to accouiDiiaii..still. Swnni, financially speaking, will be in easy clrcum- stances, that t« not in condition to be crowded or embarrassed, if I succeed, as succeed I must, in securing the remaining unsubscribed scrip amounting to only $690, as I have already secured tl,8«5, of which last amount there remains uncollected $515. and if your name Is en our lict for any amount will you not call, pay your subscription, get your script; and if you have not subscribed will you not do so at once, so that we can com­ mence the new year unembarrassed. Our subscriptions vary in amount from fSS down to 95, At #50 each we would only lack thirtsen subscribers, and st *25 each oniy twenty-six, and at $5 each only one hundred and thirty- two. Now, in all candor, are there not mea enough who will deem it a highly esteemed privilege to aid in taking the burden of so im­ portant a work frem the shoulders of a few, where it has always rested, for the benefit of the many. I address you, Individually, and unless I have mistaken you entirely, yen will, at least enough ot you to make up the deficit, volun. tarily come forward, pay np where yon have already subscribed, and where you have not, subscribe and pay up. It seems te me, I will not think otherwise, thsJt you will do your duty In this. We pay you seven percent, for the use of your money each and every year we keep it; and one suc­ cessful Fair, as the last would have been had the weather permitted, your interest and principal,will both be paid. Aside from the good you do the general welfare of your County you place me under personal obligations by lessening my labor, which I am poorly able to further donate. Please do not disappoint me, and reduce the abiding faith I have in you, but come forward and fill up the measure in time that I may make a clean report at our annual meeting.
