Miss Jennie Austin is visiting friends and relatives in this place. Why don’t the trustees clean the weeds and brush out of the road so people cau pass one another on the road? John Grover was on the streets again last week. X. Y. Z. Smith. Why Editors are Poor It is a lamentable fact that the rewards of the country editor are not always commensurate with the labor expended . I was about to say with his deserts, but the reason he does not prosper, except iu growing grace, is because of his poor business methods. One of the most baneful proclivities of country publishers is the habit of free puffs. So long as a merchant can get his name in the paper—iu the local columns at that—every time he buys a new box of goods or makes a sale.

■, and so long as the editor announces v from week to week that Mr. So aud so, our wide awake and enterprising dry- , goods dealer, is doing this or that, i just so long the said dealer will have t no use for his business locals at 5 > cents per lino. Every notice that advertises or promotes business should be charged for. Every card of thanks, every notice of an entertainment—where an admission fee is charged—- . should be paid for. There is at least one newspaper in Michigan where the above rule is carried out and where tickets are not current for show ad- । vertising. If editors would charge and collect pay for what they do there [ would be more well to-do newspaper : men.—C. C. Vavgha.n. . Forrest Won't Withdraw. A ndws special says that at a meeting of Thirteenth district Populists nt f South Bend yesterday it was decided . to withdraw J. W. Forrest, the congressional candidate from the ticket, and to call a new convention at Plymouth next Saturday to name another 1 to take his place. It is claimed that reports from Forrest’s old home in • New York state are such that the . party managers would not care to refute or defend. , The special further states that the Populists are very anxious to have Congressman Conn take up their standard and become their candidate, and many think he will be nominated by the convention. Mr. Forrest was shown the above statement, and while reading it a grim smile began to play over his pleasant looking features. “You may say,” spoke Mr. Forrest, “that lam in the fight to stay and will not withdraw.” Mr. Forrest stated further that he knew there was an element seeking his overthrow, but that as he had been nominated fairly he could not be made to withdraw. Os the convention called to be held at Plymouth, he says there is no truth in it, as he has letters from that place to verify the statement. Mr. Forrest says that the element that opposes him has plenty of money, ; the source of which is not hard for ■ him to guess. In conclusion Mr. For- • rest repeated the statement as to his being in the fight with more emphasis • than elegance, which caused an 3 admonition from his wife who was present. At her request Mr. Forrest 1 then modified his former declaration. —South Bend Times. □ w Keeley relapses cured. Guarantee ’» to cure Alcoholism, Opium andTobact co disease.

A pleasant evening was enjoyed by the guests and a fine repast was served by the 1 bride's parents. i i An item is current to the effect that 1 the supreme court has decided that a t man who wants to go faster than an- . other who is ahead of him on tlie road, lias a right to pass.

According to an exchange, the following little episode occurred in a highly respected farmer’s family: The father had just delivered a long prayer for aid to a poor family in the neighborhood. After the devotions were ended, his son said, “Father, if I had a barn and as much wheat in it as yours, I would answer that prayer myself.” “Why don't you run a newspaper like that?” a groceryman said to the Monticello Press the other day, throwing out a Chicago daily. “For the same reason that you don’t run a grocery store like that,” the reporter replied, turning to an advertisement of a Chicago house, showing a 12-story building. The grocer looked at the picture a moment and said: “I never looked at it in that way before.” Last Saturday was a good day in Walkerton. The streets presented a busy scene. There were large numbers of people in town and the merchants did a good business. People of the surrounding country are learning that the smallpox epidemic here is not serious and that it is carefully quarantined, thus making it safe for them to come to town and do their trading. Confidence is gradually being restored and business will doubtless soon return to its former condition. Not satisfied with a very large and fine crop of peppermint earlier in the season, which distilled from 30 to 40 pounds of oil to the acre, John Eber- ' hart is now cutting his second crop of ' mint, which will yield about 12 lbs. of oil to the acre additional. This is ’ something remarkable, and with oil 1 worth in the neighborhood of $1.75 per ■ lb., makes mint culture rather more profitable than raising 47 cent wheat. ■ Other producers hereabouts will also ■ cut their second crop this year.—Mish- | awaka Enterprise.
