To make a spasmodic splash and then quit may be all right for a showman booming a "one night stand." but a business man's advertising should be systematic and persistent. MODERN merchandizing at this time of the year commands the heaping of un­ sold holiday goods and unseasonable goods upon "slaughter" counters;, and notice to the public, through wisely chosen advertising mediums, of places and times to come and exchange cash for surplus wares. Thus shelves and counters may be cleared, capital in hand be secured for spring ,stoi;ks, and the public be given rare bargains. Special Discount Sale. 1 will offer for sale at a discount of 25 per cent from actual first cost, the bal­ ance of my stock, consisting of about $2,000 in Dry Goods and Notions, BoOts and Shoes, Hats and Caps. This stock is all fresh. and clean and the above dis­ count will positively be given from actual cost on every article purchased. Sale commencing Saturday, Jan.4,1896, and continueing until further notice. All fixtures, consisting of Show Cases, Scales, etc., will be sold at a bargain. JOHN I. STORY. THE directors of the public library at Woodstock have arranged for a series of entertainments of a high order, the next one on the list being a visit from the Royal Hand Bell Ringers, who will visit that city Jan. 15. This is the standard company of the world. It is universally conceded that in point of artistic excel­ lence they have no rivals. They are so far beyond all other troups that no com­ parison can be fiiade. In Great Britain and on the Continent their reputation is unrivalled. They have appeared many times before the Queen and Royal Family, and the nobility and aristocracy of Europe. Their dr^ss is the court cos­ tume of the reign of Edward IY. Admis­ sion, 50 cents. No extra charge for re- st^rved seats, which can be secured on and afte^ Jan 10, by writing and remit­ ting to L. Tj Hoy or A. R.

THE small boys who shoot sparrows need not fear that their money will not be forthcoming.

The sparrow industry may go on the same as ever. ^ VERY oily tongued individual is mak­ ing the country-spiling pianos. He rep­ resents a first-class company and sells the instruments at exceedingly low prices. The payments are to be made in two dollar monthly installments. Of course he collects the first-two dollars, and the donator never sees him again. THE firm of H- Miller & Son, dealers in Marble, Granite, etc./was dissolved ou ^Tan. 1st,"J. H. Miller having purcliasecf ing mysterious packages into the pan- his father's interest in the same, and will hereafter run the business at the old Stand, in this village. He is a first class workman and persons wanting anything in bis line should not fail to examine his designs, as b.e is sure to please all both in price atad'wprkmanship. "THE new law regulating the sale of medicinfes and drugs is! causing trouble in small towns. In substance it provides that no person shall conduct a drug store or sell medicines who is hot a reg­ istered pharmacist, and that no drugs or inedicines shall be sold except in a store conducted by a registered pharma­ cist, whose name shall be prominently displayed. All medicines and poisons, according to this law, must be labeled when sold, bearing the name and address of the registered pharmacist. AT Joliet recently a big flag social was held and every visitor was met at the door by a fair assistant who proceeded to adorn him with a miniature flag Some of these had names of states print­ ed across them and others had the capi­ tals corresponding. Then came the fun of matching flags, the young man "state" having to take the young lady "capital" to supper. Some amusing- combinations resulted, which increased the state of enjoyment and capital time. UNDER the new law Oleomargarine must be marketed in packages from the label of which every semblance of or ref­ erence to any other article must be stricken. Official notice of an order to that effect has been received by the pack­ ers a"ud manufacturers. The order re­ quires that pictures of dairymaids, of lowing kine or anything else suggestive of butter must bo omitted from the label. The word butterine must not be used, but in its place "oleomargarine" must be plainly printed on label, on which it is forbidden to use any fanciful title. IN the Rural Press we find thefollowinc true words: "There is probably no class of business men who are so reckless iu the matter of extending credit as coun­ try publishers. Every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants to subscribe and "pay later on" is put on the list without question, and advertisers who have no commercial standing are allowed to use space on promise to pay--promises which are rarely fulfilled. If country publishers would exercise the same care in the mat­ ter of extending credit on subscription that other business men do, the subscrip­ tion books would make a better showing than many of them do now." MARRIED.--At Lake Geneva. Wis., Oct. 5, 1895, Eugene B. Perkins, of McHenry, III., and Miss Edith Mabel Averill, of Harrisburgh, Michigan. Although the above announcement was somewhat of a surprise to the many frionds of the happy couple named above nevertheless the congratulations were just as hearty and numerous as they could have been had their friends been cognizant of the fact at the time of its ocCurrance. They guarded their inno­ cent secret well, their most intimate friends not even suspecting the fact until they saw fit to announce it themselves. The groom, Eugene B. Perkins, who is well and favorably known in this com­ munity, where he has spent almost his entire life, is a young man of unexcep­ tional character, sober, honest and up­ right in all his dealings, and his Wends, who are legion, join with us in wishing him peace, happiness and prosperity in the new duties which he hereby assumes. The bride, Miss Averill, attended our Public School here for about a year, and by her quiet ways and lady-like manners won the love and respect o! all with whom she became acquainted. The PLAINDEALER extends most hear­ ty congratulations, and in the language of Rip Van Winkle we say "Here's to your goot health und ymr families goot health, may you live long und brosper." In the Gazette, published at Plainview, Neb., we find the following, which will be of interest to many of our home readers: MARRIED.--Wednesday, Dec 11, 1895, at the home of the bride'a parents, near Plainview, Miss Kittle Boggs and Mr. Geo. Grimoldby were united in marriage by Rev. L. K. McNiel. The wedding was a quiet affair, owing to the ill health of* Mrs. Boggs, the bride's mother. Many useful and beauti­ ful presents were brought and sent by loving friends. The groom is an estimable gentleman from West McHenry, 111. The bride is well kuown in this vieinity having been one of our most successful teachers and is highly esteemed by all. They intend making their home at Os- awatomie. Kan., for which place they de- narted this morning. I have made a specialty of the prose­ cution of all „ kinds of dama^ cases against RAILROADS, other Corporations, and Estates, for fifteen years and make no charge unless successful.

A SURPRISED WOODMAN !;,\On Wednesday evening, Jan. 1, at pre­ cisely eight o'clock, the quiet home of Mr. and Mrs. B. Harrison, near this vil­ lage, was thrown into confusion by the arrival of a company of sixty-five men and women*, members of the camps of Modern Woodmen of America, from Riupcwood and McHenry, accompanied "by their wiyes and neighbors; who de­ manded admission to the house. Mr. Harrison, seeing that resistance was use­ less, surrendered unconditionally, where­ upon the company made a a rush for pantry and kitchen. While some of the ladies assisted in putting Mrs Harrison in a presentable appearance, .by putting oh her best clothes, others were transfer- try and the wood choppers were building a fire in the kitchen. When quiet was restored a -nice ̂ program was rendered and H. C. Mead was requested to apolo gize to Mr. Harrison for the manner, in which the company had taken possession of their house. Mr. Mead said: "Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, I am requested to offer an apology for the intrusion upon your quiet home. Iam reminded that about twenty years ago, when YOU were both y oung and inexperienced, you two joined hand® in wedlock, and notwith­ standing the fact that you have changed your residence you have never been lost sight of by your friends, and I am forci­ bly reminded to-night that you have \ host of friends who appreciate the society of yourself and family, and while we have abruptly entered your home it is from peaceful motives, and in behalf of this company of Woodmen, of whom you are an esteemed member, and their wives and your neighbors, I wish to offer an apology, which you will find on a table n an adjoining poOm. It consists of a set of 62 pieces of China, with ninny other attachments, all of which we ask you to accept as a token of the respect aud high regard in which you are held by your friends and the Woodmen. Mr. Harrison, tho' trembling with emo tion and surprise, was bravely support­ ed by his wife, made a very pretty bow aud thanked the company for their gen erous gift and pleasant reminder of times gone by. The ladies then put in their work and a contest was soon on, and every Woodmen had a task set for them. Neighbor R. Lawson was declared the winner, the decision being "based upon the pile of chips (chicken bones) before him. At 12 o clock the party separated wishing them a Happy New Year, and pronouncing the occasion the best of the year. I WAS THERE. For the Benefit of Woodland Cemetery. The Premier Dramatic Club and West McHenry Band have kindly consented to give an entertainment for the benefit of Woodland Cemetery, and on the even­ ings of Jan. 16 and 17 will brine out the beautiful drama entitled "A Celebrated Case, or the Convict's Daughter." the proceeds to go for the benefit of the Cem­ etery Association. This is a worthy cause and one which should receive the encouragement and support of every man woman and child in our community. The drama is a good one and we have no doubt it will receive the liberal pat- conage it deserves. Full programme and cast of characters later. Don't for­ get the date, Jan. 16 and 17.

Sou^id Reasoning. < The editor who penned the following wo*d8 knew just exactly what he was talking about. If there is any better reasos for asking a newspaper to work for nothing than there is to ask a school teacher or a preacher to give their ser­ vices free, we would like to have them ex­ plain it to us. We are unable to see the point, especially where parties asking- free advertisements are intent on mak­ ing money out of it. An editor who has evidently had some experience puts jt as follows: "We have at last, learned just this much about the newspaper business. Advertising of any kind should always be paid for. We have learned to not puff every i.im-crow thing that comes along, free of charge, and give a lot of free advertising to something that gets pay for every thing it does. \\ hile we want to please our readers in every possible way we can, we are run­ ning this great enun<jiator for a living and for exactly the same. reason the farmer tills the. soil, for the same reason that a lawyer sells his. talent.to one side of a case and for the. same reason that Other people do various kinds of work.
