There are business men who like to enjoy the benefits of a local newspaper so long as they contribute nothing towards its support. They ought to be compelled to live in a cross roads town where the advantages of a newspaper are unknown. An exchange relates that a pensioner at Clearfield, Pa., who signed a patent medicine testimonial, certifying that, he had recovered his health through a use of the preparation, finds his pension stopped on the strength of his certificate. A Goshen school boy brought to his teacher a letter from a physician stating that “this boy is unfit to attend school for 304 days.

The Wolfe wag m bridge crossing Pine Creek about tw > mil. s nmih "! town is impassable and teams an- * obliged to ford the stre .m '1! thirty feet, of the bridge uas bnrm J three weeks ago, and it is thought that an incendiary was c -mu-rned in it Farmers living m that vicinitv ar. put to great inconvenience and are clamoring loudly for a new bridge. Said a farmer recently: -H is m • very profitable to hire a man on an acre farm if largely put to whe it. At sl6 a month it takes 32 bushels of wheat a month to pay wages; board at ^lO a month makes 20 bushels m< re. and washing, mending, etc., brings the expense of a man up to 60 bushels of I wheat a month. This will take at i least 3 acres a month or 36 acres a year, leaving 44 acres for the owner to live on and keep up the place.” The Garrett Clipper says that fort} years ago a company was organized at ■ Leesburg for the recovery of stolen horses. There are yet four of the char- . ter members living. So vigilant were I i tin- nn-mln-ra that they nw r faileiT tn ■ recover a horse stolen from any one of the company. A reorganization was ; effected every ten years ami a few days I ago the company started on its fifth ' decade with a membership of seventy. Every successful man is a help to j i his town. The more money he makes, if he uses if, the better for the comi munity; the larger businesss he builds i up the greater the advantage to the community; a town cannot build up without them, and a growing town is a benefit to the surrounding country, hence it is to the advantage of all to encourage enterprising, successful men in all walks of life, and frown on the efforts of the petty, envious individuals who are ever ready to thrust their more successful neighbors in Ihe back ' on the slightest provocation in an attempt to injure them and destroy their ; usefulness. The country cannot, get, I along without its successful men, but i it can survive the loss of envious back- | biters, a fact which every town and ; community should appreciate whenever opportunity offers. The successI ful man is indispensible.—Ex.

Stephens’ grocery store is headquarters for poultry. Byron, son of George Brown, is quite sick with typhoid fever. Go to Bender’s opera house next Monday evening and enjoy a refined, high-class entertainment—the Hoosier Nightingales. For benefit of Epworth League. About all the difference there is between some of the robbers in Midway Plaisance and the kind that hold you up after dark is that the former wear no masks. Lew Enyart truthfully says, in the Macy Monitor, that "there is more si mon pure religion in giving a poor wid ow or any other unfortunate family in our midst, two or three tons of good Brazil coal, a few bushels of early rose potatoes, and a barrel of flour to tide them through the long, cold, dreary winter, than there is in giving millions to the ‘poor heathen, in some far away country that von know nothing about ami care less. ' The Garrett Clipper says that “in speaking of spotters, for whom all railroaders have a constant dread, an employe said to a Clipper representative he believed without a doubt that the “Immortal J. N.,” whois known all over the country as a harmless lunatic was nothing else but a railroad spotter, taking on the role of an imbecile to allay suspicion. It is known that J. N. traveled every place and always had ids pockets full of railroad passes. As he has been going the rounds for many years it seems probable that there would be some inducement other than the.fun of the thing for railroad managers to repeatedly hand out valuable passes to such a person. This is an age of stir. Men must move, and they must make their busi ness move. The man who does not ad vertise in the local newspaper is a back number.
