WE are told that to not know that a thing is not true is one argument for its truth, and that a known wrong Story pnblished in one issue and immediately refuted in the next, gives a newspaper a reputation, for truth and veracity. These are some of the tenets, evidently, of the yellow gogged disciples of saffron- hued journalism. FRED HATCH, of Spring Grove, one of the fii et graduates of the Illinois state university, and a leading citizen of this county, is being strongly urged for the position of university truetee.

FARMERS will do well to keep a look­ out for a sharper who is now going about operating successfully.

The Hall was beautifully decorated, and the flowers and other gifts to each member of the class, with the dainty dresses and bright faces formed a Very pleasing and attrac­ tive scene. v Music was rendered by the Male Quar­ tette in a manner which gave much plea­ sure to the audience. The Orations and Essays by the graduates were rendered in a manner highly creditable to each, and so well did each do that it would be impossible to particularize. It showed that the hon­ ors bestowed had been well and faithfully earned by persistent and earnest work. The Address by Dr. College is highly spofen^of on all sides. It was a master effort anchsho^ed him to be a man of wide experience, broad intellect and with a power of oratory to' interest and in­ struct hie hearers.

I have used many remedies without re ceiving much relief, and being commend ed to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, by a friend, who, know­ ing me to be a poor widow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the most gratify­ ing results. The first bottle relieved me very much and the second bottle has ab­ solutely cured me. 1 have not had as good health for twenty years. Re­ spectfully, Mrs. Mary A. Beard, Clare- more, Ark.

To be' successful one must took ahead and plan ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of it. A little forethought will also save much ex­ pense and valuable time. A prudent and careful man will keep a bottle of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrboe Remedy in the house, the shiftless _ fellow will wait until necessity compels it and then ruin his best horse going for a doctor and have a big doctor bill top*y» besides; one pays out 25 ceonts, the other is out a hundred dollafla and then wondejrs why his neighbor is .getting richer while he is getting poorer.
