LA GRIPPE has a strong grip on many of our citizens, and the number who "just don't feel good" is astonishing. The best medicine we know of is to have grit enough to stand the grip, but many fail in that particular and send for the doctor. OCR citizens should not fail to attend tbe Teachers' Meeting which is to be held in this village on Saturday next. The program is a very interesting one and we hope that all of our citizens who can will show their interest in the cause of educa tion "by their presence at this meeting.

Against famine there is no,.protection, but for every cold there is a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. . AN exchange says that among the duties of a justice of the peace is one requiring him to post up in his office, at least once in three months, a list of all witness fees iu his hands, and names of persons to whom they belong, and for a failure to comply with, this provision a Justice of the Peace shall be liable to a fine of $50. Says a prominent writer: "Good roads are a national benefit. All bus iness originates in natural product which must find-its way over a common high way before it cap reach a market and at tain its full value. Smooth, hard roads, well drained and easy traversable through a large part of the year, furnish the out let, and alone can furnish it. To neglect the highways is worse than to neglect fences and wood-piles and weeds." RUMOR is one of the most contagious and dangerous diseases. It often starts from nothing, travels with the speed of the wind, and the faster and further it goes the more it increases in volume and fatality. It never kills those who spread it, else the disease would die out. Vac cination, fumigation and disinfectants are of no avail. It will con tBljp to exist white there are people who care for sensa tion more than truth, and it will be "catching" so long as there are suscepti ble fools willing to believe and repeat everything they hear. • 1 V •- That Hacking Cough can be ao quickly enrwd by Shiloh's Cure.

Our citizens are earnestly urged to at- nend this meeting, and by their presence show that they take a deep interest in the educational work "being done throughout the county. THE scholars of our public schools will be interested in an offer made by the Youth's Companion in its issue January 9. Its purpose is to stimulate them in a commendable competition and at the same time increase their love for their country. The publishers of the Youth's Companion offer to present a fine l^rge buuting flag, 9 by 15 feet, with forty-two stars, to that public school in each one of the forty-two States and Territories, which shall send to them the best essay on "The Patriotic Influence of the Ameri can Flag When Raised over Our Public Schools." These essays will be received by the publishers of the Youth's Com panion until April | 1890. The award of the flag will be i/ide as near J une 1 as possible, in ordea^hat the successful school may float the^Stars and Stripes" over its building upon the Fourth of July, next. - This movement to interest the young people of the present generation in secur ing a flag for the school house, is one that should be heartily commended and encouraged. Why cannot one of our own schools secure the Companion Flag for this State? IT will be pleasant news to theatre go ers to know that Stuart Robson will fill an engagement at the Chicago Opera House, commencing Sunday, Jan. 12J Jor two weeks, with Branson Hoard's great American comedy, The Henrietta. It has lias been nearly two years since this comedy, which is conceded to be the brightest comedy ever writtep by an American author, was seen at the Chi cago Opera House, and at that time it was played by the old combination of Robson & Crane. Since that time Mr. Crane, as is well known has retired from the firm and The Henrietta became the prop erty of Mr. Robson. Mr. Robson has had the properties and scenery of the piece entirely rejuvenated, and it will be put upon the stage at the Chicago Opera House on a scale exceeding any similar production which has been seen in Clu- eago for some time. The part that has *been previously played by Mr. Crane is now in the hands of Mr. Frank Mor- daunt, who gives an excellent delineation of the character. While his humor is not so unctious as Mr. Crane's, still in the more dramatic parts he has received a great deal more praise from the critics than was awarded the character of Nich olas Vanalstyne when played by Mr. Crane. Miss May Waldron, for so many years with Robson & Crane, will play the part of the Widow. Opdyke, and. the Cal ifornia and western papers where she has been playing the part say that it is the only time the widow has been prop erly played. Miss Helen Mar is the Lady Mary of the cast, and all the characters are in the hands of the most competent people. Of The Henrietta itself, little need be said, excepting that it is recog nized as the leading American comedy of to-day and the most successful ooe of a decade. Hebron Department American's Leading Musical Journal. With the January issue, now out, the Philadelphia Musical Journal inaugurates its fifth volume.
