An observing citizen has been putting in all his spare time trying to figure out where the Petersburg’s small boy gets his eigaretts o. the material from which to make them. The fact remains that they are daily smoked m large numbers by boys whose ages are below the statutory limit. The law provides a heavy fine and officers say they will enforce it.

Many ; of the states of the Union now recognize! the necessity of planting trees, and the observance of Arbor day is becoming gen- [ end." It is further suggested by the gov- j ernor that towns and cities should lay the foundation for future beauty and attractiveness by providing for parks and planting trees, shrubs and vine*.

Gladstone ts noted for his ability to hit the nail on the head. Without doubt he did so when he said. “The power of advertising is enormous. It appears, if we consult those who have made successful use of this extraordinary instrument, that it depends wholly on producing an impression upon the public by iteration or the constant repetition of the same, thing. It is always gratifying to receive testimonials for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy, and when the endorsement is from a physician it is especially so. “There is no more satisfactory or effective remedy than Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy,'* writes Dr. U.

Has Visited Petersburg. Hon. W. H. DeWoif and wife hare returned from Petersburg, where they visited friends for several days. In an interview with a reporter for the Sun, he stated that the excitement over the discovery of gas, had, in a great measure, subsided, and matters are assuming their normal conditions. That the promoters and owners of the gas well or boring are confident they have a “big thing” and an inexhaustible supply. And thev have such confidence in the success of the enterprise that they are now preparing to lay mains and pipes throughout the town to furnish gas to the citizens for heating and all domestic purposes. Others assert that they have only a limited supply, and while the pressure is very strong for a few minutes, upon being ignited, it soon falls to almost nothing. There is no question but they have gas and in large quantities, but whether it is a permanent supply or a mere “pocket” which will soon be exhausted remains an unsettled question. Other wells are being drilled, already being several hundred feet deeper than “Jumbo." as they call the present well, but no gas has yet been struck. In one'drilling a trace of oil was found, which I may yet prove to be of some value. Mr. DeWoif says he was informed that in the borings thus far made a very excellent quality of cannel eoal was struck at a reasonable depth, that the seamjwas about niue feet thick ami had a firm solid roof. If this statement proves to be true, it is probable the coal will prove far more valuable tl a i the gas. For many years it has been known that Pike countv contains an inexhaustible supply of eoal. but no one seems to have known that cannel coal was to lie found in seams thick enough for profitable mining; consequently the finding of a seam nine feet in thickness will in time prove to lie immensely valuable. The people of Petersburg are deeply interested in the proposed Vincennes ami New Albany railroad as they fully realize that their gas, it it exists in large quantities which will only be determined when the new wells, now being drilled, reach a point Very much deeper than they are at preseut. and their coal to be commercially valuable can only be made so by inducing manufacturing enterprises to locate there and they will not do so uuless their railroad facilities are such ;is to create competition in freight rates.—Yiiueuuea Sun.

What is Necessary. Two things are absolutely necessarf in Job Printing—good stock and good workmen. What You Get Here. You want both. That’s what you get here. Updo-dale workmen—*97 printers, if you please. You don't want printing that looks as if it had been printed before Noah built the ark? Of \ course vou don’t. Good Material, Good Workmen. There is up other busiuess where skill —art if yon please—is so necessary as in a "printing office. Some offices have good material but poor workmeu— blacksmiths. Others have good workmen but poor material. Neither can turn out good work.

The Two Combined. Did you ever try us? If you have you know that we have both material ar.d skill—you get the two best combined | > for the price of oue. Your Moneys Worth. You want the best you can get for your money, don’t you. Most people' do. And here is where you get it. Not Our^tyie. If our prices seem lower than our competitors don’t think that we will slight the work. That’s not our style. But ^on’t think we'il lose anything. We’ll put in a little profit—not much to be sure—but a little. Each Contributes. We don’t take work from one man at a loss only to be made up on sometody else—each one contributes a little— and it's that little constantly dropping that builds up our business. Try Us. Suppose you try us. And if we don’t sun you well tiever say another word about it. Coop) in and* see us, or send for us, or holler at us or any other old way. J
