When they are allowed to run month after month without any change they become stale and unprofitable to both the reader and advertiser. The public are eager to read fresh, newsy ads. that are to the point and every business man should not neglect to attend to the matter. Walkert n Market. CORRECTED WEEKLY BY STEPHENS AND GRIDER.

Wolfe, received a large consignment of clothing this week which he bought at a bankrupt sale in Streator, 111.

There is very good evidence that there ■ is some unlawful fishing being done at | Koontz’s lake, and something is going to happen if it isn't stopped. People going bj the lake early in the morning hear । muffled sounds, just like powder makes when exploded under water, and then soon after a couple of 'fellows are met 1 coming to town with a basket of nice ’ black bass. It may be sport for the ! other fellows but it spoils the fishing for ; those who desire to fish in a lawful way. Take one dollar to Tom Wolfe and get the worth of it and 40 cents in change. । — ° | A crowd of very jolly young people drove over from North Liberty on Saturday night and spent the evening with j Sam Cunningham; a number of young I people from town were also there.

Fire has gottten into Jack Wolfenbarger’s marsh two miles and a half south of town and is doing considerable damage. The soil burns down to the depth of several feet and it is almost impossible to put it out and it will probably burn till rain comes. Great care should be taken now dur ing this extreme dry spell about the starting of fires. A fire in most any part of the city now would make a clean sweep.

DANIEL MYERS, OF PENNSYLVANIA. A Living Object Lesson for Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure. -f £-31 1 i L vW'* V? -(i fwEART DISEASE is curable. “For over "3 forty years," writes Daniel Myers of Two Taverns, Pa., on Aug. 10, 1896. “I suffered with heart disease. First a slight palpitation, gradually growing worse. Then shortness of breath, sleeplessness, smothering sensations and much pain in the region of the heart alarmed me and I consulted a physician. Receiving no benefit I tried

others and a number of remedies, spending a large amount of money, but finally became so bad that it was unsafe for me to leave home. I commenced using Dr. Mile.-,’ Heart [Cure two years ago.

For eighteen months I have been well. Although 72 years of age I can go where I wish and I sleep all night and wake up as cheerful as a babe and completely rested.
