WE learn that some parties around town are making a business of poisoning dogs and cats. While we admit that there are a good many worthless curs running around, there are also many whom their owners prize very highly /and why anyone should delight to poison them is a mystery to us. Such persons should read the law on this subject. If found out it might not prove so cunning. THE dancing public should bear in mind the Thanksgiving Party, at the McHenry House, on the evening of Nov. 26th. Good music and a good time may be expected. DIED.--At her home, near Johnsburgh, on Tuesday, Nov. 10th, 1896, Mrs. J. Junger, aged 76 yeais. Her funeral was held from the Johnsburgh Church on Thursday, the 12th.

Those who fail to attend will misa a rich treat. Give the young people a rousing benefit Remember the date, Friday evening of this week, Nov. 20th. THE latest bet to come to light, says the Kenosha Gazette, was that made by two workmen in the Allen tannery, in that city. One, a Republican, bet his wife against a cow, with a Democrat, Of course the Republican won" his bet, and last Saturday demanded his cow, but the Democrat refused to give it up. The Republican called on the clerk of the court to learn if he could not compel the man to give up the cow. He didn't care, he said, if he did have to give up the wife, he wanted the cow, and if the Democrat would just turn over the cow, why he could take the woman. But the Demo­ crat is obstinate and insists on keeping the cow. IT is the most pernicious kind of econ­ omy to deprive your family of a local paper. The wife does not get out to see and learn as does the father and chil­ dren, and hence is deprived of a souree of enjoyment that helps to relieve many •'hours of loneliness when she is alone with the small children. And then the home paper is an educator of the chil­ dren, as they will read of the people and incidents with which they are acquaint­ ed. There is nothing ever introduced into a family that will teach the chil­ dren to read faster and better than the home paper. : , ' , • Death of Col.Wm.Avery, A special telegram from Woodstock, under date of Nov. 10th, says: "William Avery, formerly Lieutenant Colonel of the Ninety-Fifth Regiment, IllinoisjYolun teer Infantry, died at his home in this city this afternoon, aged 75 ytfars. Cbl. Avery was for twelve years prior to 1894, clerk or. this county, and was for about twenty years the Nortwestern Railway's agent at Marengo.* His funer­ al will be held Wednesday under the aus­ pices of Calvary Commandery No. 25, Knights Templar, with interment at Marengo."

Sportsmen turn out. H. THELEN, Manager. WEBSTER defines grit as "sandstone, gritstone, structure adapted to grind. Firmness ot mind, unyielding courage, fortitude." Someone, undoubtedly an authority on the subject, has said that it tukes "grifc" to make a successful fraternal organizer. Well, why should it not? "Grit" constitutes a mighty im­ portant factor in the make-up of every successful man, regardless of profession or occupation. Read the biography of any prominent advocate of fraternalism, professional man, merchant prince, statesman or soldier, and you will find that "grit" more than once during their career won the battle so nearly lost. IN a business letter to the editor a Chicago wholesale paper dealer offers us the following excellent -advice, and as we consider it so good we hereby pass it around and trust that every ri ader will make use of it: "It's all over except the shouting. There are a few more bon­ fires yet to burn, a few bets to pay, a few bruises to heal, and then bottle up your enthusiasm, store your torches and uniforms for four more years and get down to business. Let everybody shake hands with everybody else. Some­ body had to win. Let gold and silver stand shoulder to shoulder. Stop croak­ ing, sing the Stox Spangled Banner, and make good times. So here's to prosper­ ity with a great big P." A MAN set out to walk 150 miles. Two days later another man f owed on the same road', and on the Foi th day over took the first man. The first man said to his follower: "This is the worst road [ ever travelled. There is ^the greatest lot of little barking dogs I ever saw, and it has taken half my time to drive them off." "Why," said the second man, "1 didn't pay any attention to them, but came right along as if they weren't there." That man who gave utterance to these sentiments has a great head and a bushel of sense, for how often do we see this as we journey along life's pathway. One man spends half his time in noticing little barking dogs; the other pays nq attention to them, but journeys along as though his path waB smooth and un­ molested. MARSHAL FIELD, who is one of the shrewdest advertisers in the country, s&ys that the wise business man should spend- twenty-five" p"er~'cent ofhifl netrirF' come in advertising when business is slow, rather than five per cent when it is brisk; that he advertises because he wants customers and the more anxious he is for customers the more attention he will pay to his advertising efforts to get them. We can show you some extra values in cotton and woolen bed blankets. "Best goods and lowest prices at J. W. Cristy & Son's, Ring wood. AN exchange says that this is the season of the year when tons and tons of catalogues from the city department stores are sent out iuto the countrv-- among the farming class generally. They want you to send them all the cash you have and then when the time comes that you need something real bad and in a hurry you will have to go to your local store aud ask for "tick." What do these fellows care only to get your money ? Nothing I It is the local stores that take an interest in your, welfare, as you all know. Can you get goods on "tick" at the city stores? No, indeed not. DiEferent with your home stores. Of course, cash is preferable, but when you are short credit goes just the sume and willingly. We hope a number of our far­ mer friends will carefully look into this and turn over a new leaf. There is noth­ ing gained by trading away from home. Patronize those who have been friends in time of need. Stand by your town and local merchant through thick and thin, +he same as they have done by you. Do this and you will be none the loser.

Wants Some One to Kick Him. A DeKalb paper relates the following incident as occurring in Sycamore: The other day a country girl went into a grocery store in that city with a number of chickens with their legs tied, and in her confusion placed them on the count­ er. The proprietor is noted for his politeness to everybody, and not want­ ing the fowls on his counter, smilingly asked the bashful country girl: "Are you.sure they will lay there?" "Oh, no, no, sir, she stammered, blushingly. "They are all roosters." And now the merchant gets red at the sight of chicken salad, and is hunting for some one to kick him.

If anybody has any post offices to spare bring them to Nunda, as there is ouly one here but six or eight applicants. Those who made bets on election dur­ ing the campaign have, as a general thing, settled. The last one, to our knowledge, that was settled was last Thursday morning, between D. B. War­ ner and J. H. Palmer. The bet was on the election of McKinley and Tanner, agaiust Bryan and Altgeld. The agree­ ment was which ever one's candidates were elected the other was to give him a wheelbarrow ride from Nunda to the old village of Crystal Lake and return. As Warner was the winner Palmer, accord­ ing to stipulation, had to take him to Crystal Lake. Thursday morn prepara­ tions were made for the trip. At the ap­ pointed time Dwight walked down the street with a plug hat on, with a small flag wrapped around it, and a heavy block fur overcoat on, carrying a large picture of Governor-elect Tanner in a rude frame tacked to a lath. Palmer was promptly on time with his wheelbar­ row and the start was made. Quite a crowd gathered tn see the fun, and con­ siderable guying was indulged in, War­ ner sat up like a major with Tanner's picture to the front. Some little diffi­ culty was experienced in starting, but the trip was made successfully and in about an hour, Warner was wheelejl up to the starting point and unloaded as fresh and hilarious as when he started Palmer appeared somewhat fatigued and warm, for Dwight is a heavy man you know.
