IF the person who, about three weeks ago, instructed the Real Estate firm of 1 V. M. Williams Co., Chicago, to purchase for him a piece of property, will call at this office he will learn something to his advantage. /•FOHN H. MILLER, of the firm of Miller & Son, Marble dealers, Jobnsburgh, was Auarried on Tuesday to a Miss Huff, of / that place. His many friends in this vi- I ciaity wish them a long, happy and pros- 1 perous life. A DAKOTA editor very pointedly re­ marks: "The price of this paper is not increased by the McKinley bill, but we wish to correct the misapprehension of some subscribers who appear to think it was placed on the free list." ATTENTION is called to the advertise­ ment of the celebrated Cleveland Bay Stallion, "Vanguard," to be found in another place in this paper. He is one of the linest road and carriage horses in the county. Farmers and horse raisers should not fail to se<* him. ATTENTION is called to the new adver­ tisements of T. V. Slocum, Wauconda, R. Lawaon, Ringwood, Jacob Bonslett, Mcllenry, Wilbur Lumber Co., West Mc­ Henry, and J. W. Cristy & Son, Ring- wood, to be found in another place in this paper. A MAN in one of our eastern states ad­ vertised that he was poor, knee sprung, homely and cross, but wanted a wife. He revived by return mail fifty-four letters of acceptance. This bumble tale not only breathes of romance, but is a great lesson for advertisers. NOT for many years in this Village has there been such an unusual prevalence of disease. But few are very sick but none seem to be entirely well. Grip, influenza, throat and head troubles or rheumatism are to be found in almost every house­ hold and in some the whole family are Afflicted. MR. SLADE gave notice on Sunday that Ms subject next Sunday morning would be, "The Unseen and Eternal, and our Different Ways of Looking at Things," and he expressed a wish thut he might meet with the Trustees of the Parish at that time, and as many of the friends as should find it convenient to attend upon the service." /DETECTIVE BENTHUSEN captured two /burglars at Genoa Junction, Wis., last I Friday morning, for robbing the Depot j and Express office at that place; and robbing the money draw on several occasions. He caught one in the act and he squealed on the other. About $25 worth of plunder was found. Their \ names were Dick Trumbull and Buck xfolland, they are now in jail at Elkhorn. C E. Lamphere has just put in one of . Cooley's Patent Coolers in his Market, and can now keep his meat fresh and cool j at all times. He has a clean, neat and tasty Market, is now able to keep a good supply of meats, and by strict attention to business hopes t& merit a share of pnbUe patronage. He also keeps on hand Vegetables of all kinds in their season, such as Onions, Radishes, Lettuce, etc. Market open day and evening. Ca'l vand see him. LWAY out in Montana, where a girl is as rare as a day in June, someone sug­ gests that bachelors be taxed. That is # just the way of the law--always jumping on a fellow when he can't help himself. The next thing we will hear that down in Connecticut, where old maids outnum­ ber males three to one, leap-year has • been legally declared an annual occur­ rence. What with the Mormons and the laws enacted against celibates there is very little balm in Gilead for the poor • feaebetor. , FXB80NAJL. PERCY HILL, of Fox Lake, was on our streets on Tuesday. ' ̂ 1 GusCARLSON, of Elgin.was calling on friends here over Sunday. JOHN SCHROEDER, of Elgin, was calling on friends here the first of the tfeek. L. L. LAW and wife, of Ohio, were the guests of B. Gilbert and wife last week. ISAAC WENTWORTII attended to business in Chicago on Thursday and Friday of last week. / WM. L. SMITH has moved from his farm %o his residence, in this village, HI* son, We believe, will run the farm. / AL HILL will run the steamboat line jfrom this place to Fox Lake the coming Reason. MRS. CHAS^HIIHHARD, of Big Foote,Ill., is visiting with friends in this village, this week. CORONER HERTZ and family, of Chicago, came out on Tuesday last. They will occupy their residence at Pistoqua Bay, early in the season. Mns. E. H. WALKER, of this village, and Mrs. ,f. W, Cristy, of Ringwood, have been quite sick, but both aire now im proving. ,/ ; F WM. STOFFBL rejoices over the arrival of a fine fat boy at his residence on Mon­ day last. Will says he will be a voter in tiijjp. /ALDERMAN GRANGER received a young lady boarder at his residence last week Nine and three-quarters was the weight <and Charles is happy. ALL recognize the fact that as between the man who works by fits and starts and the one who plods along but keeps steadily at it, the plodder always gets there. So it is with advertising. It is the repeated advertising and the sus­ tained "stick to it" that tells. By this we do not mean the "ad" that is never changed, but the one that may change but is never omitted. The wise merchant keeps his wares always before the people. When he desires to quit business he stops advertising, or advertises only once in a long time. IT is reported in an exchange that the girls of a certain town have formed an organization and pledged themselves that not one of them will ever marry a man who is not intelligent, honfesk, indus­ trious, good-natured,"clean in person and apparel, healthy, a church member and a total abstainer from liquor, tobacco and profanity. We are afraid that some of the maidens may live and die old maids. You see most of the newspaper men have already been picked up by discerning women, and the few single men in the profession wouldn't go far. No other class can answer all the requirements.

Once upon a time a traveler stepped into a stage coach. He was a young man starting in life. He found six pas eengers about him, all gray-haired and extremely aged men. The youngest ap­ peared to fiave'seen at least~eighty win- tors. Our young traveler, struck with the singularly mild and happy aspect which distinguished all his fellow passen­ gers, determined to ascertain the secret of a long life and the art of making old age comfortable. He addressed the one apparently the eldest, who told him he had always 1yd a regular and abstemious life, eating vegetables and drinking water. The young man was rather daunted at this, in as much as he liked the good things of this life. He addressed the second, who astonished him by saying, he had eaten roast beef and gone to bed regu­ larly fuddled for the last seventy years, adding all depended on regularity. The third had prolonged his stay by never seeking or accepting office; the fourth by resolutely abstaining from all political and religious controversies; and tlie^ fifth by going to bed at sunset and rising at dawn. The sixth was apparently much younger than the other five--his hair was less gray and there was more of it--a placid smile, donating a perfectly easy conscience, mantled his face, and his voice was jocund and strong. They were all surprised to learn that he was by ten years the oldest man in the coach. "How is it that you have preserved the freshness of life?" exclaimed the young traveler The old gentleman immediately an­ swered the young traveler by saying-- "I have drunk water and wine--I have eaten meat and vegetables--I have dabbled in politics and written religious pamphlets--I have sometimes gone to bed at midnight: and got up at sunrise and at noon;" he then, fixing his eyes intently upon the young man concluded with this remark, "but I always pay promptly for my newspapers!" Then the other old men also chimed in with--"Of course, we always pay promptly and in advance for our news­ papers. No man deserves long life who does not do this." ' Then the young man resolved that he also would render himself deserving of long lite--and immediately subscribed for five newspapers, paying for them all in advance. He is living yet at a ripe old age. (©"Hempstead Washburn is Mayor of Chicago, the official count giving him a plurality of 389 votes. The prayers of poor old Jphn M. Palmer were of little avail.

Mr. George Tennant, of this city, in conversation with a representative of the Mail ami Times, one evening this week said: "Yes, I took this prevailing influ­ enza. I gave up work and went to bed I had a dreadful cough and was very sick but am all right now." We ventured to ask what remedy had proven successful in his case. "O, I took Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I used a whole bottle, it brought me out all right. I feel first rate now. We are never without Cham­ berlain's medicines in our family." This testimony is only one of many that might be given to show the.value of these preparations. Those who are af­ flicted with this malady would do well to use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. If used as directed it will be found effectual. Fifty cent bottles for sale by G. W. Bes­ ley. druggist. SUDDEN DEATHS.
