Here is a bit of sound philosophy from the pen of the editor of the Shelbyville Democrat: “If you have a home and are out of debt, don’t fret and worry yourself aud good wife into the grave for the s ,ke of making money. You have but one life to live and it is brief at best. Take a little pleasure and comfort as you go day by day, and try to do a little good to others. A morbid-, insatiate desire to possess the earth, to grasp every everything in sight, isat the foundation of more misery than almost any one thing. Wealth alone* will never keep your memory green after you are gone; a good 1 life and kind actions will.” The undersigned takes this method patrons in Rensselaer and vicinity, that he has sold his book, news; confectionary and tobacco business to Mr, John W. Huggins, who is now in charge of the same and will continue it at the old stand. I ask for him the continuance of the same liberal patronage~which has —been extended to me, and for which I desire to express my most sincere thanks.

J. E. SPITLER.
