Wo have a word to say to our business r.mn in regard to a fewthings ahum which we hope they will take no offense. During the past three months our town has been thoroughly canvassed by persons from outside tow-ns who solicit job printing from them. This is, of course, all right, but do you think it good policy to patronize them? Do they patronize you, that you should give them your work? These outside parties, and especially those from Monon, may do your work a little cheaper, but by the time you pay the ex pense of getting it here, you will find that our prices are equally as low and as far as workmanship, we ask no odds from anywhere, either city or country. We turn out a class of work that cannot be duplicated anywhere. We can convince you, if you will only give us a chance. We live here with you, buy goods of you, and pay you hard earned money. Now do you think it right, to do this. No. It is an injustice to every printing office in the town. Now these facts are for your candid consideration. Can you expect home people to spend money with you if you do not patronize them? If you do not, your business should not be noticed by any one. We do not iet a single opportunity pass us that we can speak a good word in your behalf. . We have the business interests of the town at heart, because we are one among you, and we certainly appreciate any favor you can give us. We have money invested the same as you, and expect your patronage, or at least a part of it. We are willing to divide the work with our competitors. We are not so hoggish as to want all of it. Now, kindly think these few thoughts over and see where you gain anything by sending your work elsewhere. On one or two occasions, we know of persons in business right here in Rensselaer, who sent their work to Monon, and paid cash for it, too. When we had a little advertising bill against them, and asked them to pay it, a great big howl was made. There is no business about such dealings. It's child’s play. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Earnest Frazee, the sixteen year old son of John C. Frazee, living six miles north of town, was pleasatly surprised last Saturday, by receiving a notice through the post office that the American express company held a valuable package addressed to his name.
