A wicked dentist in Missouri has commenced suit against one of his patients for damages done to his operating chair by kicking and squirming while he was having his teeth pulled.

Now is the time when those who throughout the year have trudged along the uneven pathway of life with an unruflled temper, smashes the record by putting up their heating stoves. Xo other subject has been given the amount of attention as this necessary adjunct to a well kept house. Putting up stoves comes as near testing the even spiritedness of men as any other labor we know of. Few merchants and business men in small towns understand the worth of advertising. AVhen the prospective buyer sees something advertised that he needs it is then that the newspaper advertisement best impresses its weight upon him. The continuous advertiser, one whose wares are held up to public view at all times, gets to the buyer at the opportune moment, whilst the spasmodic advertiser expects the buyer to remember what he, the advertiser, said last year, thus losing many opportunities to sell that which he has.

The three large evergreen trees which have for years been known as landmarks in front of the Geo. Work place on South Michigan street, are being removed by Editor Brooks of the Bepublican who recently purchased the property.
