Tiie Kepubllcan as an Advertising Medium Covers a Wide Field. Last week Mr A. C. Pilkeuton, of the Crescent Pharmacy, received a letter from Cinnabar, Montana, asking the price of a certain medicine he carried which was advertised in the REPUBLICAN. He answered the letter promptly and this week he received another letter ordering half a dozen bottles of the medicine aud au express order to pay for the same. There are still a few people who think advertising does not pay, but they are learning. A man once discovered, much to his surprise, that nearly all great rivers run by some great city and that man's grandson has recently observed that the business men of Hancock county wno do the largest and most ^uccesstul business advertise in the REPUBLICAN. People everywhere begin to understand that such things exist as cause and effect.

A Wrong Impression Corrected. Greenfield, Ind., Feb. 14, 1896. EDITOR REPUBLICAN—I write you concerning the account given in Tuesday's REPUBLICAN of A. M. Walling and a Greenfield girl. As the name Letha was used I wish to inform the people of Greenfield that it is not Letha Adams, for I never kept company with Walling nor corresponded with him and never did have anything to do with him.

Yours truly, LETHA ADAMS.

Persons conversant with the facts never connected the name of Miss Adams with that of Walling.—EDITOR.

First Class Bicycle Repair Sh»p. Today a REPUBLICAN reporter was shown over the bicycle repair shop of Jeff C. Patterson and was surprised to see the many improvements made by Mr. Patterson since last year. He has added an Enameling oven also a tire vulcanizer to theshop and has now everything requiredto repair a wheel or even make one if necessary. He has lately refitted and refurnished his room. He has a large and fine stock of 1896 wheels. Among other things he has added a stock of cigars & tobacco and proposes to make his store a headquarters for wheelmen as well as repair &hop. Chas. Foley will assist Mr. Patterson in the repair shops he was connected with the shop last year and is known as a good workman.
