It is rumored at Plymouth that Cal Sinninger is coming to that place to start a red-hot democratic paper.

Solicitors for job printing float into this place from Plymouth and other places every three or four weeks. They are probably successful in get- i ting some orders. We don’t blame the i solicitors for coming here, That’s I ' only business. But business men who - send out of town for printing which can be dondjust as well and as cheaply at home are not doing the fair thing and show’ anything but good citizenship. They ought to be given mammoth doses of their own medicine. We have no mortgage on the printing business of Walkerton, but we ask for an equal chance with foreign solicitors, at least. Don’t give them the preference. If we can’t give you prices and work to compete with other places then you are justified in getting your work done elsewhere. But we believe that we compete with Plymouth, LaPorte, South Bend and other neighboring cities. We have the facilities to do it. What little we make is all spent in Walkerton, largely for the improvement of our paper and office, that the town may have a printing establishment that will be a credit to it. Printing offices in Plymouth and neighboring towns don’t care anything about Walkerton, only to get what money they can out of its citizens.

Dr. Arlington is giving special attention to the treatment of chronic diseases and owing to the great increase in his office practice has concluded to devote the entire Saturday ot each week to his office patients.

It is reported that the slate superintendents of city schools, while in con- I vention at Indianapolis, state among I other business (hat school supply firms j were charging and getting $27 for a globe not worth over $5 and it ap ' pointed a committee to look into the! matter. The Lake Erie A Western is the on- I ly road in the state running into In- j dianapolis which will check bicycles as baggage, without extra charge, all the others having formed a combination to charge the same rate as for ex ness baggage.—Plymouth Democrat. A man named Moon was presented with a daughter by his wife; that was a new Moon. The old man was so overcome that he went off and got drunk; that was a full Moon. And when he got sober he had but twentyfive cents left; that was the last quarter. —Ex. Take the enemies that a good newspaper makes in the course of business, j and stand them up in a row, and we’lj venture to say that the balance of the community will unite in asserting that the editor ought to feel proud that they are his enemies ami should honor him for them.—Plymouth Independent. A western exchange gives this bit of good advice: “A good way to test a swindling scheme is to offer a nonnegotiable note when the time comes for signing. Mark out the words ‘or I order’ or ‘or bearer,’ which always follows the blank line on which is written the name of the person to whom the note is given. Make it payable to him alone. That saves you all right. If the note is given with a view of a con- ; tract which the other party offers, just । write upon the note ahead of your sig nature these words: ‘ L’he payment of this note is made conditional upon the performance of a contract for which it is given.’ Always remember that no matter what oral contract you have it will have nothing to do with the payment of the note unless it appears on the face of the note. You will never get a swindler to take a note payable to him or referring on the face to the contract he makes. It is not always a sign that a swindle is attempted when a negotiable note is demanded but in regard to dealing with strangers, it may be safe to say that you will win nine times where you will lose once by refusing to deal with them or their agents.” All pain banished by Dr. Miles' Pain Pills,

The Ohio river, which was recently the lowest it was ever known to be, is rising rapidly. The late drouth throughout the country Is pretty well broken, and many of the streams may show their majesty over ephemeral drouth conditions by getting on an old “high" by spring. Mrs. H. H. Brown was called to LaPorte City, lowa, last week on ac - count of the illness of her father, the venerable Robert Kennedy. Death came before she reached her father’s side.
