Oliver Robinson, for so many years an .attache of the sheriff's office, will be the deputy to Sheriff Shirer. He is familiar with the work and his appointment will meet unanimous approval. Henry Hildebrand came down from Chicago Monday night tor a short visit with his brother, Conrad, and many old friends. He is still tending bar in Chicago and is enjoying good health and getting along nicely. Be careful about fires these cold days. Don’t leave the drafts open when you go to bed and don’t leave paper or ” clothing lay close to the stove where sparks may set them on fire. Look at the number of your i nearest fire jilug and ring central and not the city light plant or the fire department if you have occasion to call out the department. No discouraging word has been received here from the hospital about the condition of Mrs. Geo. Goff and she is getting along as well as could be expected. No effort has been made to continue the operation begun Sunday but it is probable this will be completed tomorrow or Friday. She is resting very easily and the prospect of her being able to get through with the operation are better than at first thought Harvey Phillips, who has been living for the past year on the T. H. Robinson place just west bf Weston cemetery, has purchased a farm of 40 acres three-fourths of a mile west of Monticello, and will go there to live. He has rented the land and will not undertake to farm it himself. Mr. Phillips is nearing his 80th birthday, but is unusually well preserved. We regret to have him move away from this county.’

The Monticello Journal says that that town yesterday started in on the last pull to secure its new factory. All but three lots in the new suburb were sold and they will probably be soon. After all the lots are sold the committee representing the commercial club will solicit for cash subscriptions. They have had buttons made which read “Me for Monticello and a greater White county.” They seem to have the “pull together” spirit over there. The fellow who was selling or trying to sell mining stock here last week has left town, but with the .promise or threat to return. He might have just left his address and if any of us got real anxious to buy we could have sent for him. Take oiir advfee, and when some fellow wan,ts to sell you mining stock, keep your money in the bank. It has been figured out that 17,867 get rich quick schemes fail to one that wins. Do you think you are the one or jus-, one of the 17,867? If you buy mining stock you are apt to act grouihyre t year when you go to subscribe to the preacher’s salary.

( Henry Grow and daughter, Mrs. N. Schmitter, drove to Wolcott yesterday and were present at the burial of Mrs. Chas. Grow, whose sudden and extremely sad death occurred at Dayton, Ky. After the burial Chas. Grow and Elzie Grow returned home with them. Elzie had gone to Dayton at once upon learning of the death of his brother’s wife and had aided in the arrangements for the funeral and burial and accompanied Charley back to Wolcott with the corpse. Charley will remain here for several daya A^rs.« Grow had always been in the very best of health and her death is a terrible affliction to her husband and all their relatives. Rev. C. C. Beyrer, of South Bend, was in the city today collecting free will offerings for the Indiana Children’s home society. Rev. Beyrer has been here occasionally in the past and always finds our people ready to assist liberally in the commendable work of the society. The home is at Westfield, and the headquarters of the society at Indianapolis. The Rensselaer representative is Rev. B. F. Ferguson, who has found good homes for several of the children in this county. Since the society was organized homes have been found for 1,300 children and the society goes on the theory that “God has, somewhere, a good home in a Christian family for every homeless child in the state." The society aims through its superintendents which are located in every part of the state, to find the homes where children may be put and also the children who are in need of a home.

Are Doctors Any Good? Foolish question! Yet some people act as if a medicine could take the place of a doctor! The best medicine in the world cannot do this. Have a family doctor, consult him frequently, trust him fully. If we did not believe doctors endorsed Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral for coughs and colds, we would not offer it to you. Ask your doctor.
