If your own business men and mechanics offer to sell you (roods and wures as good and as cheap as you can buy elsewhere, you are in duty bound to support them. Oa this prin cipal Mr. W. It.

Camp can furnish you as well and as cheaply as anybody. Try biuo. 2t —llad two Jacks in town last week at one and the same time. Not your common kiud of jicks, either, but real sleek, nice 1 >okiug auimals. Tbey answer to the nam** respectively, of Jack Love and Jack Spangler. The o~ pinion of our people regarding these chaps, as far ai the returns are in, is, that they are goodlooking fellows whe washed and shaven, that tbey can eat a9 heartily and do as good a day's work —if they bate any weakness in that direction—as the next two Jacks. They may call again. —ln these days when disease seems to be afloat iu the very air, people should take most scrupulous care of their health.

If you give strict attention to all these sanitary regulations and yet take sick, you will have the com fort to know it was providential and not the result of your own carelessness or neglect. —Next Tuesday the local election will be held for township and b irougb officers, and it is the duty of every citi zen to see to it that good competent men are chosen to transact our public business. Our local taxes amount to much more in the aggregate than our state and county taxes, and we need men in office who will use the public's money to the best possible advantage for the public good. A town council that will enact wise ordinances and enforce them, constables [and burgesess who will do their duty to maintain or der. School directors who have the well being of our children and schools at heart, and who will direct. Over seers that will oversee , election officers that will electy auditors that will audit. In short, good practical men, wbo will do their duties. In saying our say on the matter we have not the slightest wish to reflect on auv of our present officers, but have in view solely the wellfare, improve ment, good order and general prosperi ty of the community.

The parties had a day of it in Bellefoute some tune ago, and two days iu Millbeim. The coats exclusive of lawyers'fees, amouut to sls'J, pro)ably more.

Who wouldn't have a law suit ? —An organ is a fine and delicate piece of furniture, in a house, school or church.
