THE advertisements that have appeared in this paper and those that have been mailed you at different times for the last six months have accomplished wonders in “Two Stores” before the public, as bargain makers. The sole purpose of these “ads” has been to show you truly and convincingly that stores in small towns can sell goods cheaper than large city stores. It is not unwise for any farmer to study the conditions which govern a large town. First, you will find that it costs your city friends about twice what it does you to live. Why? Because expenses are so much higher. The same thing applies to the stores and merchants, J and proves beyond all doubt just what we have said in all our advertisements. We will not say that all country stores sell as cheaply as we, because many of them do not tax their energy, neither do they display the necessary business ability. We will say conclusively, that we will save anybody money that will patronize us regularly . G. M. WILCOX & SON “The Two Storos” Surrey and Parr. ♦

Monticello Journal: Oliver Evans, who figured as a victim in a shooting affray at Monoq. last April, is in jail at Frankfort for deserting his wife. It will be remembered that he was her second husband. She and her first husband were divorced on Evans’ account, and this marriage took place. The first husband came to Monon to see his children and was so wought up that he attempted to kill Evans and his wife and then shot himself. Evans has now tired of her and her nnmerons progeny by her first husband and is attempting to desert.

Prosecutor Sink and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Marshall, assisted by City Marshal Abbott, gave the show officers to understand that no gambling or “skin games” would be permitted last Saturday, and as a consequence the show is said to have been entirely free from anything of the sort. The show people, or the officers of the gambling department, came down and saw the prosecutors and marshal, we are informed, and intimated that they would be liberally rewarded if the games were allowed to ran. The statement published in a local paper that “the sheriff” was responsible for the absence of gambling is without foundation, as might have been supposed. Fountain Park Assembly will open on August 1 and oontinue through August 16. The pro- !; ram for the season will include ectures and a variety of intertainmenta.

Miles and the D. R. Dungan.

Geo. Daniels of Berkley tp., has a small patch of corn that he planted July Bth, and it is growing like smoke, with a good prospect of yet making a crop. The com matures quickly and last year Mr. Daniels harvested some that he had planted July 6, from which he saved seed for that planted this year. The ground on whioh this year’s crop is planted raised wheat this year; the wheat was cut, hauled to another field and shocked, and the ground plowed and planted the same day. The oorn is white, rather short ears, well rounded over on the ends and has small oob. It generally has two or three ears to the stalk whioh makes the yield per acre almost as good as other

varieties., It makes excellent meal for table use, and Mr. Daniels thinks it the corn for late planting or filling in in fields where the first planting fails to come. We believe that a little more vigilance on the part of the local officers who are eleoted and sworn to execute the criminal laws would Have a tendency to make people respect the law more. Admitting that it is difficult sometimes to secure evidence, if the violators of the law were given to understand that due vigilance was to be used in bringing them to time, they would not be so brazjjn in defying it. Th?he circus Saturday drew one of the largest crowds ever in Rensselaer, and the feed, hitch and livery barns, restaurants and saloons did a land-office business. Some six or eight plain dranks and fighters were registered at the county hotel.\(Of this number a few were let ofit without fines, but James Noland, Everett and Omer Merrill, all of the Gifford district, arrested for fighting, were fined $1 each and costs, flO in all for each case, and the two former paid while the latter is laying his oat at county expense. Robt. McKinney, south of town, was arrested with the above named men, bat as it appeared that about all the connection he had with the fight was to get a severe whipping at the hands of Everett Merrill, he was acquitted. One of the Condon’s from Foresman, was also locked up, we are informed, but was released without prosecution.

Frank P. Meyer came up from Danville,lll., Sunday morning to spend a few days with his mother and other relatives. There was a lynching in Danville Saturday night and Frank saw about all of it. A negro shot down a white man in cold blood, and a mob took him away from the officers at the police station, dragged him through the streets and strung him up to a telephone pole close by the spot where the shooting occurred, then filling him full of lead and later burned the body. Happily for the poor devil, he was shot by the mob before taken from the police station, and was said to have been dead before hung to the pole. Later the mob, which now numbered about 5,000, made an attack en the jail in an attempt to lynch a negro rapist, but they were repeled by the sheriff and his deputies, who fired into the crowd and wounded several seriously. This was the first mob Frank had ever seen, and he dosen’t care to see another one.

DENTISTRY IN ALL ITS MODERN FEATURES.

Life is cold and dark and dreary with the man who fails. With us the sun shines warm and bright 365 days because we are successful. It is not lack pit is knowing how and being willing to work hard. Our work, our prices and onr treatment make onr patrons our best friends. Some there are who weep when others succeed and laugh when others fail. We have neither wept nor langhed bnt kept right on “sawing wood.” We have labored faithfully and hard to give onr customers full value for their money and have been rewarded with a generous patronage. Do not get ub mixed np with other dentists. We are not connected with any other office or laboratory in the county. We claim to do the best of any office in the state. Make

He Won Her.

“She has promised to marry you, has she? Did she accept you right off?” “Oh, no. I had to propose to her four times.’’ "Foot times! Gradons, but you were persevering! What did the say the first time?” “She said if there wasn’t another man in the world but me the wouldn’t marry me.” “That was pretty strong. What did she say the second time?” “She said she liked me pretty well, bnt she couldn’t think of marrying me, for she might see some one she liked better.” ' “Humph! And the third time?” “The third time she asked me If 1 wanted to tease the life out of her.” "Ha, ha, ha! And the fourth time?” “Oh, the fourth time she said If I insisted upon it she supposed she would have to say yen.”

SMART SET FRIENDSHIPS.

Titer r«Mtllr Bare a Pmrpo.e, Social, Political or FUuelal. There arc friends In what Is labeled “the smart set” whose motto In life would appear to be, "Banish dull care.” These are the people who give those cheerful dinners where nobody cares a rap for precedence. Everybody takes his affinity in to dinner. The host starts off with the prettiest girl, and the hostess is taken down by some beardless boy. It is Liberty hall, with nicknames for all present, abundance of “chaff” and stories something more than risky. They are all great friends, of course, and call each other “dear things” and know exactly how much is meant by that, while they smile sweetly and say M Catr’ bQponnectlon with most of them behind their backs. Few of these so called friendships in society are made without a purpose, either political, social or financial. The peeress wants a “tip” from the millionaire, either a Stock Exchange tip or one affecting coin or copper or whatever his special line may be. Our “nice” friends are nice in so far as they are useful to us. At the same time, in justice to society, it ought to be pointed out that no one is taken in by these Interested friendships. The people who only make friends calculating how much they will benefit thereby are seen through by everybody and disliked so openly that only their toadies fail to let them see It —London Outlook.

The Finishing Touch.

The small boy with his eyes open often knows more of things as they are than the artist who draws things as they are not. An illustrator who is winning laurels by his fine work maintains that his most valuable critic is his son, a boy of twelve. He knows little about drawing, says the artist, but he has a quick sense for beauty and a keen imagination as well. Not long ago I had to make a drawing of a street full of people running to a fire. I flattered myself I had made a lifelike and moving Beene and submitted it to my boy with a feeling of satisfaction. He surveyed it for a moment, hands in his pockets, head on one side. Then he said: “The people are all right, but where’s the dog?” “The dog?” I inquired. “What dog?” “Any dog,” he said in a tone of pity for my dullness. “Why, father, don’t you know there’s always at least one dog running alongside and getting under everybody’s feet when you're going to a fire? Haven’t you ever been to a fire, father, or seen a crowd going to one?” When I thought it over I knew he was right, and the dog went in.— Youth’s Companion.

A Bad Case.

The cynical man was staring through the window at the chesty man swinging down the street. “Does Chesty know anything?” asked bis companion. “Know anything!” said the cynical man. “He doesn’t even suspect anything.”—New York Times.

He Doubt About It.

A kind hearted lady saw • small bo* seated on one of the benches in Falkmount park the other day smoking w cigar which she afterward told m friend seemed almost as big as himself. The lady is an enthusiastic antitobacco worker and never loses an opportunity to Impress, especially upon* youthful minds, the evils of using tobacco in any form. Seating herself by the side of the lad., she said kindly, “Oh, my boy, wouldn’t your father be dreadfully pained if hesaw you smoking that cigar?” “Rather think he would,” the twentieth century young mam without removing the weed from hkr mouth. “This is one of his best cigar*.”" —Philadelphia Ledger.

Giving an Opinion.

Taddles—l used to think a good deal? of Straddles, but— Waddles—You don’t say so? Whak has be done? “The other day I asked him to calk round and give me his opinion of an article of mine on *Tbe Impending Crisis.' Well, he came all right; but he brought: a little thing of his own for me to hear,and, confound him, he wasted all ther evening with his egotistical trash.”

In Many Places.

Mrs. McCall—l see you’ve got a new girl. Has she bad much experience a» a cook? Mrs. Hiram Offen—Apparently not much, but many, and 1 propose to giveher notice to hunt up another experience when her week’s up.—Phlladet phia Press.

Stages of Life.

It is a queer coincidence that the matrimonial word “united” also spells “untied.” Birth, marriage and death are the three life stages of man, or, rather, they used to be. Nowadays there are five stages—born, engaged, married, divorced, died.—Kansas City Independent.
