What Neighboring Town Thinks About Mail Order Catalogues.

Monticello Journal. Monon train No. 33, from the north, due here at 2:40, was delayed for a considerable time after arrival here yesterday afternoon while the postal clerics unloaded some forty-five sacks of mail order catalogues. Fcrty-two of the sacks were for this place. It is. unnecessary to add anything to the mere announcement of the arrival of that bunch of mail and the kind of mail it was, except to say that the same thing is transpiring all over the country. But it certainly wasn’t a very nice spectacle to see that quantity of local business highwaymen piling off that train. And appropos of the subject we may add that here is another job for J. G. Gustavel, who seems to be able to meet the mail order houses on their own terms and fight them at their own game. And if Louie can succeed in counteracting the baneful effect of even any portion of those forty-three sacks of catalogues he hope he will go to it.
