It is not likely that a truant officer will be elected at the present time to succeed Philip Blue. The law makes no provision for filling a vacancy and as a bill has been introduced in the legislature abolishing this office the matter of appointing a new truant officer will be allowed to rest for the present. Simple methods of removing soot are being repeated by the newspapers for the benefit of those who, used to hard coal, have been shoveling soft coal into stoves and furnaces this winter. The burning of a piece of zinc the size of one’s hand will, it is said, cause the soot to disappear as if by magic. You will save many doctor bills by keeping Bailey’s Laxative Tablets on hand and taking them freely for constipation, biliousness, liver troubles, fever and indigestion. Very pleasant, effective and natural in action. They invigorate torpid intestines and rouse up the liver. Price 10 and 25c at A. F. Long’s.

Edward Dumas, of Goodrich, 111., and Miss Permelia Bertrand, daughter of Albert Bertrand, of north of town, were married by Rev. Thomas Meyer at St. Augustine’s Catholic church Tuesday morning. A number of guests were present. Mr. and Mrs. Dumas will make their home near Goodrich, 111. G. W. Smith, of Fair Oaks, and Miss Sarah Beatrice- Smith, of north of Morocco, were married Wednesday morning at the residence of Esquire Pulver, the Squire officiating. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. Smith and is held in high esteem by her many young friends. The groom is unknown to us but it stands to reason that he would have to be a nice lad in order to win his wife.— Morocco Courier. The crowned heads of every nation, The rich men, poor men and misers All join in paying tribute to DeWitt’s Little Early Risers. H. Williams, San Antonio, Tex., writes: Little Early Riser Pills are the best I ever used in my family. I unhesitatingly recommend them to everybody. They cure Constipation, Billiousness, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Jaundice, Malaria and all other liver troubles. Long’s Drug Store. The ice harvest is in full blast day and night at Cedar Lake, and the scene presents a pretty appearance at night when the lake is illuminated by the many electric lights which dot its surface. One sometimes wonders what some of the big chiefs of the Pottowatamie tribe would think of it if they could come back for about a week and see some of the carryings on about their favorite hunting grounds. —Crown Point Register. The Rensselaer Republican takes another fling at Congressman Crumpacker in this week’s issue, and incidentally calls the Republican postmaster editors in this district “Crump’s patient plodding asses of all work.’’ Of course this is “a little family affair” inside the Republican party with which democrats have nothing to do, but we can not help wondering if Bro. Marshall’s ears would not be patiently flapping in the same herd if he had succeeded in landing the Rensselaer postofflce plum.—Monticello Democrat.
