Mullen, Mrs. Kate Oakler, Mr. Peter Rintz. Mrs. Emma Landon E. H. Cook. In calling for the above letters please say they are advertised. JAY VAN SLYKB, P. M. GENERAL advertising creates a want, announces new things and familiarizes the public with old ones. It is as neces­ sary in keeping an established article be­ fore the public as la introducing a new one. Our most successful business men realize this fact and never let the public forget it. The assertion that advertise ments are not read are base fabrications and not believed even by those making it. The Weekly Inter-Ooeaa. Attention is called to the advertisement of the Chicago weekly Inter-Ocaan, pub­ lished on another page of this paper. The later-Ocean is unwavering in its Re­ publicanism, and there is no better news­ paper in the United States than this weekly. To all desiring a first-class city journal the weekly Inter-Oaum is heartily commended. COL. J. F. NASH, an old resident of this village, died oh Thursday last, January 1st, at the advanced age of 87 years. He had been a resident of this village for over thirty years, and until within the past few years of unusual good health for one of his age. His funeral was held from the Universalist chureh on Sunday last, Rev. H. Slade officiating, and his remains deposi ted in Woodland Cemetery. Thus One by one the old pioneers are passing away.
