hustling dealer has it for sale.and
that at a less price than it usually i
sells for.
How It Works.
Once upon a time a man got
id at the editor and stopped his
paper. The next week he sold his
corn four cents below the market
price. Then his property was
sold for taxes because he didn't
read the treasurer's Sale. He
was next arrested and lined
for going hunting on Sunday.
simply because he did not know
that it was Sunday, and paid
#300 for a lot of forged notes that
had been advertised two weeks
and the public cautioned not to
negotiate them. He then paid a
big Irishman with a foot like a
forge hammer to kick liitii all the
way to the newspaper office when
he paid four years in advance and
made the editor sign an agree
mont to knock him down and rob
him if he ever ordered his paper
discontinued again.—Western

True as The Gospel.
The efforts of any newspa per to
build up a town is practically
nullified unless it is backed up
by the businessmen of the town.
A stranger tilrns from the news
columns of a paper to its adver
tisttig columns, and if ho fails to
find there the business cards of
the merchants and professiona
men, he reaches the conclusion
that the editor is not appreciated,
in which case it is a good place
to keep clear froth. No town
ever grew without the active as-
sistance of its paper; nor can
papers grow and build up theii
localities without the aSsistano
