IN addressing the members of a high school class the late Governor Russt 1, of Massachusetts, uttered these words which will surely live: "Remember that there is one thing better than making a living, and that is makiug a life."

Merriman, in this village, one night last week, getting a lot of canned fruits, etc. For a common rat, Rough on Rats is said to be good, but for one of these sneak thieves a little cold lead would be better.

Once mor§ we are compelled to say that unsigned communications will not be admitted to this paper. Persons writing must sign their names. The names will not be pub­ lished except by consent, but we must know in this office who the waiter is to satisfy o-urselves that there is good faith on the part of the sender. A PifA-CTicAL woman remarked, to an exchange, the other day that the most interesting things in a newspaper to' her are the advertising columns. "And long ago," she said. "I quit buying of those who did not advertise. It" always seems to me that,the merchant who advertises invites me to trade with him, while the one who does not advertise impresses me with the idea that he doesn't careenough for my trade to ask for it. Then too, I have found that the merchant who ad­ vertises has fresher goods, for the reason I suppose,' he sells more." The Security Lightning Rod Co. In view of the many building being struck by lightning in the past few weeks it may be of interest to our readers to know that the Security Lightning Rod Co., of Burlington. Wis., are selling the best all Copper Rod in the world at 25 cents per foot, complete, and guarantee the building and contents from, any dam- age done by lightning. This company is perfectly reliable in every respect, and what they tell you you can rely upon. Do not fail to see their Superintendent, H. Simpson, who will be in this section soon. LIGHTNING'S WORK, On Wednesday evening last the barn of Peter Martin, five miles west of this village, on the Woodstock road, was struck by lightning aud burned to the ground, together with the entire contents including eight cows, five head of young stock, three horses, all his hay, grain, farming tools, etc. ho rapid was the spread of the flames it was impossible to remove a thing. Loss about $4,000. He was insured as follows: On building. $800. On stock. $700. Hay and grain, $200. Total, $1,700. This loss falls heavily on Mr. Martin, besides his stock his entire summer's work being wiped out. He has the sympathy of the public in his misfortune. ONE of the strongest articles of theyear is "Are the Farmers Populists?" in the September North American Review. It is by Hon. John M. Stahl, who stands at the head of the agricultural writers of the conntry, is a practical and extensive farmer, editor of the Farmer's Call and Secretary of the Farmers' National Con­ gress. Mr. Stahl shows that the popular notion of the farmer's financial views is disproved by the farmer's vote--he has furnished the majorities for sound money while the Populist vote has come, not from the farm, but the city. In the same number are other articles dealing with the issues of the campaign by Hons. Warner Miller and Richard P. Bland, and by the Governor of British Hon­ duras. Grand Trotting Matinee. A Grand Trotting Matinee, for the ben­ efit of H. P.

A little publication, but of value out of all proportion to its size, is Alderis Living Topics Magazine. For the ridic­ ulously small price of 25 cents a year it gives nearly 400 pages of information of interest and value to every one, and hardly obtainable elsewhere. The last issue gives just the facts everyone .wants concerning the states of Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, and Indian Ter­ ritory. The statistics are brought right down to date, generally,from one to five or more years later thin the latest cyclo­ pedias. Thus it deals in every issue with the States of the Union, all the nations of the world, and other importanttopics. Living Topics ought to secure an enor­ mous circulation.

THE McEENEY COUNTY FAIR, r To THE EDITOR:--It is well for us to have our ideals highly established but the rising generation who had their icieai of a Fair based on the great- White City and then visited our County Fair receiv­ ed a rude shock. As we approached the Fair I remarked its location to the youthful scion. "Where! I don't see any large, build­ ings." "Oh no, smaller Fairs are held in tents as you see here." Animation fell several degrees in an instant and mine did as suVely but more slowly. After looking around, taking in the sights and scenes, looking at the races and over the exhibits, 1 could not help thinking how little it takes to constitute a "Fair," and also what a clap-trap, cheap-John, snide affair this great County Fair at Woodstock really was. A Beautiful Picture, We have made arrangements with the publishers of Demorest'sMagazine where­ by we are able to offer our readers De Longpre's water color study, "Chrysan­ themums," at the ridiculously low price of 10 c»>nt8 per copy, T&ie picture is 12x28 inches in size and AS printed in twelve colors. The art publishers both of this country and Europe vie with each other every fall in producing elegant colored art Studies but none of them has equaled De Longpre's "Chrysanthe­ mums," which every reader of this paper can now have by cutting out this slip and sending it. to us with his or her name and address and 10 cents in postage stamps. None can realize how beautiful the picture is when framed until he has seen it. - Cheap Excursions to the West and Northwest Ou August 4,18, September 1, 15, 29, * A <• 3 October 6 and 20, 1896, the North west- And iurther, what are our people and our :ern Line (Chicago & Northwestern R'y) tradesmen thinking of to let a town ten j will .sell Home Seekers' excursion tickets or twelve miles away run all of our peo- at very low rates to a large number of points in the West and Northwest.

Nothing stimulates agricultural interests so much as a fine exhibit, the products of the husband- --If one's exhibit is not ns good as his neighbor's, he is stimulated to further effort.

Floral pro­ ducts stowed away in a dark corner. Pianos displayed across an entrance corner, beautiful in themselves, but so out of place in that horrible, dingy, dirty location, that one hurriedly passes on in sympathy. Pictures! Well wasn't that a display? Tacked up on the wall like so many picture cards. 1 won't say that those who 'hung' them ought to he hung to obtaiu a lesson, for I really t :ink that some earnest workers had this in charge and did the best they could with the space allotted, but all the more reason that such a display should be taken bet­ ter care of or better selected. Some of the work was very meritorious, but wholly ruined by hanging, skying and surrounding. 1 certainly would, how­ ever, criticise the displaying of delf ou the line--the spot of all the earth that an artist prays for--taken up with a lot of bric-a-brac. Now, then, will McHenry correct this next year? We have tradesmen enough here to carry out an enterprise of this character and have in return two or three of the biggest days they ever had, instead of as many of the dullest. Have we energy enough ? Push it along. Let us put up long, light, airy, cheap build­ ings, properly and thoughtfully located. Let us encourage art and its devotees by haying a sky lighted building, with plenty of wall space, nicely and properly tinted so. that pictures can be displayed. Let us conduct it so that all may learn something, our merchants all earn some thing and the town profit thereby. Yours, F. M. GOODMAN.

Y., says: "It may be a pleasure for you to know the high esteem in which Chamberlain's medicines are held by the people of your own state, where they must be best known. An aunt of mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to visit me a few years since, and before leaving home wrote me, asking ii they were sold here, stating it they were not she would bring a quan­ tity witlrher, as she did not like to be without them." The medicines referred to are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures of colds and croup ; Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheuma­ tism, lauie back, pains in the side and chest, and Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel com­ plaints.
