RENSSELAER. IND.. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10,1893.

In mentioning the wedding of j a young couple of that place, the' Momence Press says: ‘'The marriage was not unexpected al-1 though some effort was made to keep it a secret. That they had made an on each other needed no “proof.” It was a “case” of love almost at first sight. As a “rule” marriages between printers are rare, but this "union” is not without a ||. We wish —■— this opportunity of wishing them a long and happy life and extending our in “token” of good wishes. We trust that the groom will not look t f f at his wife in case he finds a button off his garments and that their regard for each other may never become “pied” in life’s rough journey. Ma.y their lives be “leaded” with love, “made up” with sunshine, “locked” with joy, “planed down” with pleasure and "run off” on a perfecting press through the fight of a of a century! May they always have “quoins” in their "bank” and contentment by their fireside.”

The artist who painted a “Yard of Pansies” and a “Yard of Roses” has just produced a magnificent rival to these two lovely pictures. It is a floral panel-pic-ture called “An American Beauty,” 20 inches high, and admirably adapted for upright narrow spaces. By an arrangement with the publishers, who are making, by the most perfect process, exquisite reproductions in oil colors of this great picture, undistinguishable from the original, we print a coupon in this issue, that will entitle all our readers to one of these superb creations, free. It is a great work of art, and we have pleasure in representing such a valuable gift to our patrons. Do not fail to get a copy of this great work of art mentioned.

Some people say “advertising does not pay.” That is too thin too think of Too much old foggism in such talk for modern times, for the enterprising man of the present to ever believe it. Only last week, we dropped into Judge Healy’s shoe shop and he told us to say through the columns of this paper that he had a dwelling house for rent. We inserted a three liner, and the result is, that a family is now occupying the house. They saw the ad. and the Judge is pleased with the result.

James Maloy, for the first time in many years is without a race horse. At Chicago, last week, he traded two of his best ones for two farms of 160 acres each, within two miles of Marysville, Kansas Then he traded his last two for sixty-six acres of good land in the Sugar creek bottoms in Montgomery county, this state Mr. Maloy can hardly content himself since parting with his horses, as he has done nothing else for many a year, but handle them.

Mrs. A. Rushton, died at her home, just east of town, last Saturday night, after a lingering illness. Elder J. L. Brady conducted funeral services at the home on Sunday afternoon.
