Pe that as it may, his reasoning, according to the most progressive newspapers of the day, give ample evidence of his assuming a position which irrefutable evidence pronounces as radically wrong. It is understood by up-to-date newspaper men that surrounding circumstances have a great deal to do with the successful issue of a semi-weekly, and while we would not venture an assertion that would in any way relied upon the excellent publication issued by our friend Williams, yet. we are aware of one fact, the New York World started out as a weekly: its owners soon perceived that it was too slow; they then made it a semi-weekly.

A publisher who has such a class of subscribers should think enough of them to give them the news of the entire week, and not issue to them a paper on Thursday or Friday and delay the news of the important happenings of even the last two days of the week until the litter part of the next week. The farmer is as anxious to receive the latest epitome of the world's doings as the merchant, and is just as much entitled to receive it. if it does cost the publisher a little more money. Anil even for this extra outlay he receives a recompense in the many new friends he makes in additional subscribers. A Ouu t A Illing.

N-'-HKil I.oimI Coiinl It takes all classes of people to make up this world of ours, and every day brings to light some new scheme entered into by a shrewd one, to gain a livelihood without laboring for it. The latest that has come to our notice issuflicent to make it a winner, if in the hands of an expert. Some four miles southeast of Plymouth reside two well-to-do farmers, Dick Ladd and Pink Thomas. The former has a farm of IN) acres, while the latter claims .72 acres as his worldly heritage 111 real estate. These gentlemen have by close economy and Tactical farming succeded in making farming a partial success. Vet they know a good thing when they see it, and although they had not contemplated disposing of them, they really changed their minds when, last Wednesday, a slick, nicely dressed stranger came to their abodes and talked of buying the two farms, paying the cash, and they began to content plate moving into another locality. Nothing was too good for this wouldbe real estate buyer. The chicken roost was visited every night, and t tie pumpkin pies with their enticing belongings were presented every day, fortius young fellow to feed upon. Hut when he offered Ladd a dollar more on the aero than he originally asked for his farm, thy almost tore the covers off of the

A Call for Literature. Mrs. Dr. Martin, superintendent ol prison and jail work in our county, asks lor literature, dailies, weeklies and especially the Sunday-school lesson leaves and quarterlies of last year, that she may distribute them among those who are con lined in our city prison. After you have read them, will yon send them to her homo on Center street and she will faithfully do the work in this department of our W. C. T. 1'. Remember the words of our Savior, "1 was a stranger, and ye took me not in." "Sick and in prison and ye visited not," "Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, e did it not to me."

Down where he lives in the Kokomo district, the temperance people have a large following and owing to the work he has done for that party, he believes he is entitled to a renomina tion. Hut it seems that they think they have gotten about all out of him that is necessary at this time, and will probably nominate O. A. Soniers in his stead. I.ilirary Itiiilillni: Annui-eil.

1 When told about the story that was circulated she seemed very much j shocked and said she had never heard a

word of the report until today. In speaking of a probable confession she informed the reporter that Mr. Sweet had been unconscious for over a week beforo his death and was in the same condition when he died. Regarding the cause of the boy being a cripple, and the reports regarding the cruel treatment the family had met at the hands of her husband, her lips were sealed and no murmur or complaint escaped them. We are glad to be able to refute the horrible charge, and thus forever set at rest the grave suspicion that Mr. Sweet went before his .Maker with the lifeblood of his own lleshupon his hands. soiinli Fishy . A short time ago one of our large

daily papers gave an account of a lee-!

ture, wherein the learned professor gave a number of instances in which people met with peculiar accidents without being seriously hurt. This was brought about by the question being asked: "How far can a man fall without being shocked to death?" Among the marvelous escapes narrated was the following, which is miraculous: "Fx press Messenger Fdward Stevens, of Water Valley, Miss., on .Inly 27 last

was dozing and tell from trie car door. He was not missed until twenty live miles had been passed. A message was sent back to the effect that he must have fallen from his car. A hand car was rigged up and several men started down the track to look for him. They found him three miles away, lying within two feet ot the track, sleeping. He awoke as soon as they touched him and asked them what they wanted, lie said he hiui no recollection of falling and imagined himself asleep in his bed at home. The train was running forty miles an hour when he fell off. He was not hurt."

Old Peopled Ears. Thousands of old people and others hard of hearing have been entirely relieved by the use of Brazilian Iialm. It dissolves away the hard wax, or in dry ears it restores the thickened, hardened ürutn to its normal, vibratory condition and removes all inflammation, soreness and dullness from the iunerear. Also stops ringing in the ears. Fill one ear with warm lialm, on retiring, and lie on the other side, so the Balm can work down into the innermost part of the ear. Treat the other ear the next night. Veraevere. It may talce time as it is an old trouble, but be faithful and your recovery will be ture. For s:ile hy C. F. Sliudel.
