Address Crofts & Reed, Chicago. THERE are two kinds of items in news, papers. Good items about people and bad items about people. If you print good items all the time, the people will sneer at you as a gusher. If you print bad items and they are untrue you make the decent mad, but if they are true lots of people jump up ap.d defend a scoun­ drel a ad damn the LapW. editor gets the worst of it whatever he does. An editor must develop corns on his sen­ sibilities early in life. "SHALL I advertise with space or .lo­ cals?" asked the business man of the editor of an established paper. "If you are going to advertise a shoat for sale, a few-lines of local are enough. If you have a $5,000 or ?10,000 stock of goods two lines will not convey the impression that you want conveyed. Greatest stock on earth at Smith's would lead one to ask why Smith did not take an ad in proportion to his stock. Take space to •correspond with the Business you con- duet and you will create an impression on the purchasing public that will be a lasting benefit. It has been truthfully said that the effects of good advertising pever die."--Ex. PE6S0NAL HARRY FULLER an^d wife, ofWaueonda, spent Sunday with friends in this village.

THAT G. F. Boley, of the McHenry Brewery, is now making a first-class article of Beer is evidenced by a letter which he received from Chicago on Tues­ day night, asking him his price on one or two car loads daily, to be shipped to that city. He, however, has market for all he can make nearer home, and does not think it will pay to enlarge his works for this most flattering offer. THE train rushed through Normal at the rate of seventy miles an hour. As the conductor came through the smoker, collecting tickets, he announced there would be no stops until they reached Chicago. A young man offered histicket and asked if he could not get off at Lex­ ington. "Yes," answered the conductor, "you can, but God knows where you'll land." THE Rosedale Floral Company, in thi# village, are making extensive improve­ ments, on their grounds, on the east side of the river, enlarging buildings, building new ones, setting out shrubbery and otherwise making everything beautiful and attractive. When completed they will have one of the most attractive places in this section. We shall have more to say in relation thereto in the near future. THIS is the season of the yeir when man is deserving of all the sympathy you can bestow. He goes home at noon to find all thefurniture out in the yard .eat*5 a cold dinner from the top of the .wood- box, finds his Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes hung out in the woodshed, the sharp poiuts of numerous carpet tacks when he undresses his feet at night, be sides other little inconveniences not men tioned. It is house cleaning time you know.- " THE Lincoln paper in* the May McClure's will contain some very inter­ esting unpublished letters and anecdotes, showing Lincoln's rare tact and sagacity as a political manager, even as a young man. It will also describe Lincoln's life in Washington as a member of Congress in 1847-1849, and reproduce from the newspaper in which it was reported at the time an important but now unknown speech of Lincoln's made in New England in 1848. A number of rare pictures will appear with the paper WHEtf a hog gets an ear of corn, every other hog will trot along behind him and squeal and whine and beg and toady for a bite, but let the front hog get in a tight place, with his head fast in a crack, and every son of a sow will jump on him and tear him to pieces. Just so with men. As long as a man is prosperous and has money, he can't keep friends off with a base-ball bat. The moment he is unfortunate and his wealth is gone, be is 1 not only snubbed by his former alleged friends, but they at once begin to do him all the harm possible. When a man fifc&ttfi.up grade. the world falls in behind and Dushes. When he starts down grade the world steps to one side and greases the track.--£x.

The Election, in. this village, on Tues­ day, passed off in the most quiet land orderly manner: There was but one reg­ ular ticket in the field, aiid two names by Petition, one for Trustee andorie for Clerk. Two hundred and, twenty votes were polled, resulting.in' the election of President, John Evanson; Trustees, John H. Miller, John Heimer, Peter J. Freund, the latter defeating R. Waite, who was on the regular ticket. II. C. Mead, the regular nominee for Clerk, was defeated by the treachery of profess­ ed friends. The members of the Board who hold over from last year are R. A. Howard, C. H. Granger, Isaac Went- worth, who, with the new members named above will comprise the Board for the coming year. THE Election for a President and two Members of the Board of Education, in this District, on Saturday last, proved one of the most exciting of the season. There were two tickets in the field and nearly three hundred votes were polled, and in the heat of the cbntost methods were used that reflected no credit upon those using them, and which we hope never to see brought into a like contest again. Our school elections, a f least, should be free from these tricky po­ litical methods. The following is the ticket elected: President, James, B. Perry. Members of Board, T. J. Walsh, John I. Story. Mr, Perry had no oppo­ sition, being at the head of both tickets. AT a meeting of the Woodstock Driv­ ing Association the following officers were elected for the ensuing.year: Presi­ dent, A. S. Wright; Secretary, G. B. Richards; Treasurer, A. F. Field; Super­ intendent, C. F. Dike; Superintendent of peed, M. W, Lake.
