Coffin Samuel Seegrist Rowley Moorehouse Nancy B. Dunn Annie Walton John H. Coffin Win. Dittman Horace Marble I. Moorehouse H. W. Marble J. F. Muffley Chas. Schataley A. J. Bush Chas. Myers Nelson O. Lyon John Greve The law referred to provides that whenever 24 freeholders of the county, residing in the vicinity of the stream proposed to be declared navigable, petition the board of commissioners, the latter are authorized to declare any stream or water course navigable, etc., if after examination it is found to be of public utility. After said stream or water course is declared navigable the supervisors of the road districts through which such stream passes shall take charge of same as part of thier general duties; and for the purpose of keeping same in a navigable condition may call out the inhabitants of the district who are liable to on work the two days each year, who shall work on such stream and clear out timber and other obstructions that may interfere with the navigation thereof.

JOHN WANAMAKER’S LOGIC.

John Wanamaker, referring to tbe advantage of advertising said: “Tbe good, sensible merchant sticks to bis proposition throughout the year, never withdrawing his announcement but constantly pounding away at tbe public. There is only one way to advertise and that is to hammer your name, your location, your business so thoroughly into the people’s heads that if they walk in their sleep they would constantly turn their faces toward your store. The newspaper is your best friend. It helps to build up your town or community that supports you. See the ladies’ fine kid shoes, all sizes, was $1.90 to $2.45, now per pair 75c, clearance sale.

Vofe your Coupons On page three of this issue of The Democrat we make public what we term a Popularity Voting Contest. It is our intention to conduct this contest on a fair and square basis and every vote that is sent in to be voted so the Church, Sunday School Lodge or Club wi l be correctly and honestly counted for the one voted for. We wish to state that the prize offered by us is worth every cent of $300.00 and that the CHASE Piano, manufactured by the Starr Piano, Co., which we are giving away, can not be purchased of any dealer in the state of Indiana, or any other state, or of the manufacturer, for one cent less than $300.00. To clearly show that the prize we are offering is of the value we claim for it, we have procured from the Starr Piano Co., a written guarantee which shows the full value to be worth the selling price of $300.00, and to be of the very best of workmanship and fully warranted for a term of five years. There will be no outside people connected with this contest, and at no time will we allow any person to say that we have a scheme or chance game, or anything of that sort, for there is no chance or scheme connected in any way shape or form. It is merely a popularity voting contest between the many different Churches, Sunday Schools, Lodges and Clubs in our field. All votes are to be sent addressed to Jasper County Democrat Rensselaer, Ind.
