Brother Winkley Breaks Out Again.

Monon Times. -• Of all the places in America it is the town called Monon at the junction of the great Monon route, it has the most enterprising business men in the world. With a few exceptions, they would walk four miles and a half to tell one customer what they- had in their store, when for fifty cents they could get a local in their town paper which would be read by everybody, but this would look as big to them as Jumbo would look to a small school boy who had never seen an elephant. If you shold ask them 5 cents a line for a local they would want it for three cents, and if they could not mention everything in their store in one line, it would make them have fits, to think that tbe printer had made 14 lines out of it and charged them ten cents. May God have mercy on their poor souls, for they know not what they do. But the time is coming and that soon, when they will have to advertise or shut up shop. “Let her come.”
