IT is pleasing to note that jour mer­ chants enjoyed a very fine holiday tradeA It was somewhat of a surprise to them, as a warm fall and winter usually for- shadows a light business at the holiday season. We cannot account for this sur­ prise unless we attribute it to the thorough manner in which the goods were advertised.

WE dropped In a few days since, at the harness shop of Gus Carlson, one door south of NordquistA Weber's blacksmith shop, and found him busy as usual. He has a fine stock of single and double har ness, blankets, robes, whips, etc., and^ is always ready to sell you a new one or mend your old one and charge you only living prices. He is a first class workman, usee none but the best of stock, and guarantees his work as represented. Call and see him when in want of anything in his line. m' lar when we read of the outWges on the Armenians.1 They are dead now, but they were relatives of ours. So was Com­ modore Noah, also deceased, who an­ chored his boat on the top of Mount Ararat. Blood is thicker than water. We didn't know we were so mad until, looking over some old family archives, we found out the facts about Adam and Eve and Noah. SOME miserable thief stole a fat hog from the pen of J. F.Clax ton, east of this village, on Sunday night or Monday morning last. They killed him in the n and then carried the carcass away oTnrsays they~waat~To luoU a lifctlu'fiut, for if they are.caught at it they will never steal another hog, they can depend on that. As such thieving is now known to be going on in this section it will be well for our farmers to keep a sly watch, and give these marauders a warm re­ ception. ' /T THERE is a great difference in people, says an exchange. A Kansas man will stand poverty and rags amid the rain and ashes of his third corn crop, burned by the hot winds of July, and swear to the passing stranger that Kansas is the best state in the Union, while the Illinois man who gets but forty bushels to the acre on© season, when he wanted seventy- five, and bad sixty the year before, will go off on a visit dressed in his best suit of clothes, and tell every man on the train that Illinois is too dead to skin. AN average waltz takes one over three- quarters of a mile, the square dance makes you cover half a mile, and a gal­ lop equals a good mil«£ Count up for yourself how much a girl with a well filled progrom traverses in r u evening. Twen­ ty dances is the average, you know. Of these about twelve are waltzes. 4liere at once are nine miles. Three gallops and she has done twelve miles. Five other dances at half a mile apiece bring her to fifteen miles to say nothing of the intermission stroll and tha trips to the dressing room to renovate one's gown and complexion.

Wednesday evening of last week, was.#) Success, financially agd othervti^"~Th<i haltTFaS filled to its utmost capacity, and many went away, being unable to gain admission. The programme was well rendered throughout, each one tak­ ing his or her part in an unexceptionable manner, and to the entire satisfaction Of the large crowd in attendance. We did not learn the receipts, but that they were large goes without saying. Those who were fortunate enough to get inside the hall are unanimous in saying it was one of the best Concerts ever given in this village, and all are glad to know it was a financial success. "MADAM," said the tramp, "I was told by the woman who lives next door that if 1 called here a charitable lady would donate a deserving wayfarer some scraps of fried liver left over from breakfast." "She said that, did sheathe mean good- for-nothing!" exclaimed the woman. "Fried liver, indeed! Come inside, my good man, and in about four minutes I'll get you the best breakfast you ever ate. That thing over there just don't know how to act like a Christian," the woman continued as she slapped a big porter­ house steak on the smoking griddle; "she's a regular heathen." Then, after the tramp hud finished a square meal there, he worked the same racket "next door" and was ready for a long walk.-- EX.

Her funeral was held from her late residence on Monday afternoon, Rev. H. Slade, of Lodi, Wis., officiating, assisted by Rev. J. Straub, Pastor of the Universalist church, of this village, and was attended by a large con­ course of relatives and sympathising friends. ROCKFORD and Kock Island business men are worked as follows: A sleek fel­ low, a stranger, calls at a store and calls for a $20 bill in exchange for silver, shov­ ing $19 in silver over the counter and apparently sealing the bill in an envelope. The storekeeper notices the one dollar shortage in silver, and the stranger says he will go and get the right amount, tak­ ing the silver and returning theenvelope. He never comes batik,and when the, busi­ ness man opens the envelope be finds it is empty. ' Dr, Howe Aestores the Bight of a Blind Woman.

Gund- erman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are per­ mitted to make this extract: " I have llo hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them A friend recommended Dr. King's New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in results."
