The Bluffton News says the county council of Wells county is facing a deficit of $30,000 in gravel road orders. As they cannot issue bonds to pay current expenses, all they can do is to borrow money necessary to carry on the county expenses for the ensuing year. The man who is not able to save a part of his earnings is sure to nave to face cold, unsympathetic want some time. No matter how large his income may be or how numerous the luxuries he now enjoys, if there is no surplus to store away, in his helpless old age hunger and nakedness will Ire his portion, unless chanty intervenes its fostering care. Think of these thugs young man and no matter how small your earnings may be don’t fail to provide for the rainy day which is sure to be experienced. Chamberlain's Pain Balmcures others, why not you ?

A man who does not take his home i paper, but occasionally answers ad- . vertisements in “story papers has [ had some interesting experiences, says an exchange. He learned that by I sending one dollar to a Yankee he could get a cure for drunkeness. Sure enough he did. It was to “take the pledge and keep it.” Later on he [ sent fifty two-cent stamps to find out ■ how to raise turnips successfully. He found out.—“just take hold of the top j and pull.” Being young he wished to marrry, and sent thirtv-four twoI cent stamps to a Chicago firm for in- ' formation as to how to make an imI pression. When the answer came it ’ I read,“sit down in a pan of dough.” That was a little rough, but he was a ' patient man and thought he would i yet succeed. The next advertisement •; he answered read. “How to double i your money in six months.” He was ' told to convert his money into bills, I fold them, and he would see his money 1 doubled.

One battery fired five hundred rounds, “Our force must halt one day at Gras Pan to rest and replenish ammunition, The force worked splendidly and is prepared to overcome many difficulties.
