A Double Courier this Week.
The Courier of this week has eight pages 64 columns. Every subscriber is entitled to the full paper, and it will not be complete unless yon get the two sheets. So large a paper has never before been printed in this county, except by this office. The Courier is always in the lead, and is going to keep pushing on. - Try Mike VolperVs Cream Bread. None equal anywhere. Fresh every day. Hang up the baby's stocking. School is now out until Monday, Jan. 6- Coilige begins on Jan. 2d. Miss Lela Rogers will leave next Monday for Kentucky, to spend the winter. This is our last chance to wish our patrons, one and all, a very Merry Christmas. ' Hear Bob Burdette, the worldrenowded Hawkeye man," at College Chapel Jan 7th. The Walnut-Street Presbyterian Sunday School will give a -'Doll Carnival" Christmas night. There will also be literary exercises and music. Those who have paid any amount on subscription to this paper since our last issue are entitled to certificates in the Prize Distribution, . and they will please, call at this office and get them. Prof. Bassett who preached at the M. E. Church in this city last Sunday, and who is now Principal of the Preparatory Department of the DePauw University, is also a graduate of that institution. He is a self-made man, - having worked his way through college, a part of the time being em- . ployed in the Star newspaper office at Green castle, with which the editor of the Courier was connected. Hi audiences here last Sunday were highly pleased with his sermons, and he is giving the best of satisI' faction in his work at Greencastle. The first prize in our word con
test was taken by Miss Mamie
Dans, of this city, who built the following words out of the letters composing the word Courier, as "-z follows. Co. Rte, Crore, Core, Corer. Coir, Cor, Corrie, Oc, Our, Or, Ore. Ore, Oe, Ure. Uric, Roc. Roe, Rone, Rue. Ric, Rice, Recur, Rei, Re, , ; I, . Ice, Io, Ire, Eu, Er. Eric, Err, Cue, Cur, Cure, Carer, Currie, Crier Corrie,Curio, Ror c, Eucre, The other two prizes were taken by S. A. Walker, of Stanford, 39 -words and John Harris, of this city, 34 words. Some other lists were larger, but they repeated the same word in different parts of speech. The smallest number of people understand, or have any considera tion for the trials of a country editor. A Christian might as well try to please Satan by serving God, as an editor to make success of a newspaper by pandering to the conflicting individual tastes and conceits of its patrons. But if there is, one thing more than another that disgusts one beyond endurance with the whole business, it is the complaint of a fellow who never subscribed, about the lack of local news ; and the kick of the subscriber who never pays, because some trivial matter in which he was personally interested, does not get what he conceives to be proper mention.

At the Owen County Farmers1 Institute Mrs. L. D. Yf orlej of EHettsvillo, paid a high tribute to the Ayrshire breed of cattle. The

WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BLV
Coaxing: the Public to Eat Alum Baking Powder by Gifts. Alum baking powder men are ransacking the universe to find gifts in order to coax the public to use the poisonous trash they miscall baking powder. Sulphate of alumon and ammonia is the basis of the com pound with which they give their prizes, and its continued use will ultimatlely produce a wretched tribe of dyspeptics. Can the public afford to use these poisonous compound? Decidedly not? Br.fc how can the alum goods be detected? Easily enough; if you suspect any brand, mix a little ot it with a small quantity .of water and boil. If ammonia is detected, discard it, for it is surely adulterated. AH scheme and gift baking powders contain alum and so do the cheap goods. Cream of tartar b aki n g p o w d era can not be sold cheaply, the ingredients are too expensive. If you would preserve the health of yourself and families, test your baking powder. Get M. Volpert's prices on Candies, Nuts, Fruits and Cakes before buying elsewhere.
