The horse sale of yesterday was a success in the way of selling, but the prices received were not justifiably higher than those paid for the animals in the country. There is much expense in buying horses in the country which is not realized by many people. The first cost of the horses is not all to be considered. The expense of bringing them to the city and the feeding of them until the day of the sale are items which add up considerably. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, then the editor, then the liberal advertiser — The next day it snowed and He created the man who does not believe in advertising; another who does not take his home paper—then rested;And then the devil got jinto the moulding room and created the man who takes the paper for several years i and fails to pay for it. After he had completed that sorry job, and having, a few lumps left, he created thd ex- i cuse of a man who settles his subscription by informing the postmaster i to mark his paper “refused.” —Ex- I change.

Wise and in all probability he will be again assigned to this charge. Rev. Wise is a clever minister, is a forceful speaker and during his stay here has made many friends who would welcome his return . Here’s a little clipping from an unknown exchange which has the right ring, and will meet a responsive chord in many hearts. True friendship is one of the choicest things in this life of hurry and bustle: “Wanted, a friend who will recognized me when I am compelled to wear patched pants; who will take my hand as I am sliding down hill, instead of giving me a kick to hasten my descent; who will lend me a dollar without two dollars security; who will come to me when I am sick, who will pull off his coat and fight for me behind my back as he talks to my face."

People Will Talk You Know And that’s the reason why Dr. Pierce’s Family Medicines are advertised so little now-a-days. They have made hundreds of thousands of cures in the past 40 years, and some of the grateful people whom they have restored to health are to be found almost everwhere. There’s scarcely a hamlet that don’t contain some ’ Look them up. Interview them. They are living, walking, active advertisements For Dr. Pierce’s Family Medicines. f”" MrlL You can believe your neighbors. Therefore ask them. What cured them will very likely cure you, if similarly afflicted—only give them a good, fair trial. Its a good, sound, common sense policy to use medicines only of KNOWN COMPOSITION, and which contain neither alcohol nor habit-forming drugs. The most intelligent people, and many of the most successful, conscientious physicians, follow this judicious course of action. The leading medical authorities, of all schools of medicine, endorse the ingredients composing Dr. Pierce’s medicines. These are plainly printed on wrappers and attested under oath. There’s no secrecy; an open publicity, square-deal policy is followed by the makers.

E. church tomorrow morning or evening with the exception of Sunday school. The new minister has not as yet been chosen, but will be in the pulpit one week from tomorrow morning. There will, however, be services at other churches where those so inclined may indulge in religious worship. Dr. Landfair will go to Indianapolis next week so that he will be present at the meeting of the state board of medical examiners when they pass upon his application for reinstatement as a practicing physician of the state. The board, according to a law passed by the last legislature, has the power to re-issue a license to a physician whose license has been revoked. Owing to the fact that Dr. Landfair paid the penalty for his wrongdoing it is felt by his friends that he should have his license back, as practicing medicine is the only means he has of making his living.—Bluffton Banner.

Lester Baughman returned from Portland today. He spent his vacation at that place. “Yes,” she said to her escort as they glided around the ripk, “I do so love roller skating. When we are sailing around ehis way my ftoiij seems floating away toward heaven, and—” By some mistake in the pro-' gram at this point both of her soles floated away toward heaven while the rest of her smote the earthly floor with a mighty smite.
