The Fidelity May be all Right Sam Hudelmyer, of this place, a share holder in the Fidelity Building & Loan Association, which was reported bankrupt a few weeks ago, received a letter from Mr. Robison, secretary of the association, a few days ago, which is somewhat reassuring. The letter is as follows: “Indianapolis, Dec. 11, ’95.

s. Hndelmyer, Esq, Walkerton, Ind. Dear Sir: We desire to say to you that though you may have many rumors concerning the nuiure of this association, it has not tailed and will not do so. Some people in Chicago are giving us some iron > e but they are only doing 1 from paving their honest debts, the association is perfectly s«»l v ^. g ‘‘^ can be shown to be so to the . tion of any court. However, if you desire to do so it is your P r » vlle K« ° withdraw vour stock, h ], d . fears, as you would not lose a cent of your money. Yours truly, E. J. Robison, Secretary. P. S. If you desire to withdraw, sign your name in the final receipt on the back of your certificate and send it in; if it reaches us by the 18th of this month you will get your money about the 21st. Who Should Advertise?

Who should advertise, is u question that has been propounded and answered in different ways. Our answer, every one who has anything to sell, whether it is produce of hand, brniu or machine, ami in eases where those who wish to buy or se cure, or exchange am thing that they cannot obtain conveniently, they should advertise. Advertising should be treated pie cisely as any" other investments, and m nine times out of ten it pays a better profit than anything else for which money is spent. The best evidence that advertising pays is the fact that millions of dollars are invested in it by all sorts and kinds of trade and by the most success- . , fill business men in the laud. Os course it pays. f No sensible man can believe that 4 successful business houses advertise and become extensive advertisers for the fun of the thing. With them it is business just the same as buying stock or selling products. There are certain principles of trade that men ought not to ignore, and among them the principal one is regu Itir, legitimate and persistent adver tisiug.—Michigan City Dispatch . A Preacher Os Waterloo, Ind., Rev. S. P. Klotz writes: “I have been ntHieted over 20 years with dyspepsia or sour atom ach. Have tried different remedies without much benefit. A 10c bottle of Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin gave mo great benefit. Have taken nearly one large bottle, and feel like a different person.” For sale by Bellinger & Williams.

The Rochester Republican says it may not be generally known, but such is the law nevertheless, that a school teacher has control over a child from the time it leaves the parent or guardian until it returns to the same, and this includes the time occupied on the way to and from school. The courts have passed upon the point, not only in this state but in others. One of Bremen’s most prominent md wealthy citizens was a bitter opponent of the water works when they were projected at that place, but he is now bravely over his antipathy and is the most enthusiastic admirer of water works in that town. This will doubtless be the case in Walkerton — those who now oppose will be among I the greatest enthusiasts over water works a 1 er they are in operation in this place. Two tramps at Butler, Ind., says an I exchange, entered a saloon with a gallon jug, and alter having it filled with whisky laid down a dollar which the dispenser refused owing to the fact that it was four dollar whisky. He immediately poured it back into the barrel. The bums retired with the jug, entered an alley, broke it over a stone and proceeded to squeeze about a pint of the four dollar whisky out of two sponges they had put in the vessel.
