If a bicycle has equal rights with a horse in the road, why does not a hofrse have equal rights with a bicycle on the sidewalk? EVERYBODY, his wife, sisters, cousins and aunts, will attend the Fair at Wood­ stock this week. If we could only have a little rain how much mors pleasant it wpuld be.___ ' .

As many who could not be attended to last week are desirous of seeing the doctor before he leaves for other points where he hi* reg­ ular appointments, he has arranged to afford this opportunity.

M., for the purposeot auditing bills against said town. C. H. GRANGER, Town Clerk. " THERE seems to be need for a visit of the fish commissioner to Aurora. For some reason the Ssh in Fox river above Aurora are dying by the hundred. Be­ tween Batavia and North Aurora es­ pecially the banks of the river are lined with dead fish, more than the fishermen could catch in five years. The cause of the phenomenon is not known. Some think the glucose factory at Geneva is pouring poisonous matter into the river. The Batavia paper mill may be to blame." Bo «va tfe»E%la Coarkto ̂ ̂ x > DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

PER ORDER TOWN COMMITTEE. A Full Hotua. Sir. Howe's lecture, at Volo, last Sun­ day evening, was listened to by a large and appreciative audience. The Doctor held his audience spellbound for over an hour while he wielded his eloquence in favor of progressive Christianity. He will lecture again at the same place next Sunday evening on Christianity vs. In­ fidelity. A crowded house and aa elo­ quent address* is anticipated. The Bloomington Leader says a new variety of swindler is at large in the land. Be represents himself as a traveling agent for a large printing concern, and agrees to do work for less than the cost of the paper used in the job.

MILLER & SON, dealers in Marble and Granite Monuments, in this village, are constantly building up a commenda­ ble trade in this and Lake counties. They have now on hand some very handsome Monuments, which it will pay you to call at their shop and inspect. AI1 who have had dealings with Messrs. Miller & Son have found them to be gentlemen of the strictest integrity who always do pre­ cisely as they agree, and any orders left with them are sure to come out just as ordered. We advise onr readers who may be in need of anything in their line to consult them before placing their orders elsewhere. ALL newspaper men know that the untold stories are the most profoundly interesting, just as the unsung- songs are ott-times the sweetest. T]|§re is hardly a journalist alive who does not know enough about things of which he never speaks professionally to light fires of tattle which could never be quenched Tetthe splendid and inspiring fact re­ mains that very few of such newspaper men ever show themselves unworthy of confidence. Politicians know this par­ ticularly well, and when they are ac­ quainted with the man, talkunresevedly. At the end of the interview that sort of a newspaper man always asks. "How much of this shall I print?" THESE are the times that try the soul . . . . tZ?; ?tZ SW.. the mail some glowing,' generous offer from some large-hearted manufacturer of windmills, oil stoves, threshing ma­ chines, dictionary holders, and a score of other handy things, without which it is thought the life of the quill-driver will forever remain a hollow mockery and an aching void. Invariably Mr. Manu­ facturer wants ye printer man to insert a nice big adv. in his paper. Then if the man of ink will send to the man of gall 'steen dollars, he will secure for himself and heirs forever the inalienable right to do as he .pleases with this wonderful anti- eiiptitfal, oentrifugal, and doubl»-action, spring-bar, never-get-out-of-repair ma­ chine. We've had lots of fun with these fellows, one time and another,and we ex­ pect a few barrels of the same commod­ ity before snow flies.--Ex.
