Marshall ptill continues his baby whining this week and expects to get sympathy from the people.

We put the Rensselaer Pilot on our exchange list with pleasure. There must be vim, vigor and energy in the proprietors of that paper, for they glean the field of local events in Jasper as clean as Ruth gleaned the fields of Boaz. The Pilot is what can be called a first class local paper.—Kentland Democrat. Ncrtices of application for liquor license are legal advertising. Yet many of the coutny seat papers which charge the tax payers *lO and *l2 for a notice of the same length, publish these license notices for $5. And they don’t add anything to the paper’s circulation, either. —Goodland Herald. » We have a largif surplus of evergreens, maple, ash, catalpas, apple, pear, peach and a full line of small fruits.

An open confession is good for the soul, Bro. Marshall. But while we are on the subject allow us to ask you if you never treated any of your cash paying advertisers in the way we stated. We are willing to make affidavit that you have, and your lying will noc clear you of the charge in the eyes of the people. The editor of 6m exchange who knows what he is talking about says: A newspaper man’s space is just the same as the stock in trade of a merchant. Every line that the publisher gives to boom the town or say good words to the people should come back to him in some way by a generous support. The publisher has space to let and the business man is wise who contracts for some of that space “to let” the people know what he has to sell. We have never bid against that establishment [the Pilot] more than three or four times and in every case we named prices that would give us fair returns for our labor and material.—Republican. Allow us to correct you. Only once were the conditions such that you had to come in honest competition with us, and upon being awarded the contract you backed clear out, finding you would be quite a sum out of pocket.

“The Fairies’ Well” should be witnessed by all lovers of refined Irish drama. It is pure in tone, refined in sentiment, enlivened by beautiful singing and excellent dancing while the scenery is a beautiful reproduction of Ireland’s picturesque beauties. The play is a tribute to the worth and dignity of the Irish character that every descendant of the Emerald Isle can point to with pride in comparison to the hideous burlesque so often seen on the stage to-day. A company of more than usual excellence will personate the characters in the drama at the Opera House this evening. The prices will be reasonable and the company should be greeted with a full house.

Do you want the proof?
