FetteroK, the enter prising agent for the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, was presented by the firm with a beauti ful gold watch charm, as a mark of appreciation for his services. Last year he sold over three hundred machines, a record of which he has reason to feel proud. The Green American Philosophi zes thus: "It is no longer necessary to sympathize with and feel sorry for the poor farmer. He is now an enviable piece of humanity, being able to command a high price for everything he has to sell and no trouble, to get something to sell. Young man, stay on the farm. It is better to be a wealthy hayseed than a third class business man of any other kind." A man in Michigan by the name of Moon got married, and that was a change of the moon.

An exchange says: Did you ever stop to think what au untiring and steady letter writer c good local paper is ? Week after week, reach ing into years, it goes on telling of marriages, births and deaths, the coming and going of people, the successes and failures, the accidents, crops, improvements, parties, re vival meetings, socials, in fact events of all kinds. All is grist that comes to the hopper of a good local paper. Why, if you were to undertake to write a letter each week to an ab sent friend and tell half the news your local paper gives, you would soon give up in despair. The sup posed pleasure would soon become a tiresome bore. The letters would grow shorter, further apart and finally cease entirely. What is the difference? Because with a news paper it is business. People in a live town recognize this and take pleasure in giving the editor . news items you would never learn. HELPED THEMSELVES- Driven ta Oesperation tor Want of Fuel Dan ville Householders Attack a Coal Tram, Driven to desperation by cold houses and their inability to obtain fuel, a number of Danville residents Friday held up a coal train at South Danville across the river and robbed it of thirty tons. The train usually stops to take water and a crowd ot nearly 200 Deonle were lying; in wait for it. As the engine did not slow up at once, the crowd thought the train was going through without a stop, and a number of men jumped on the cars and ap plied the brakes. When the train came to a stand still, men, boys and even women swarmed on the cars and with shovels quickly tossed the prec'ous fuel over the sides making very noticeable holes in the well filled gondolas. As soon as the train pulled out, the coal strewn along the tracks was shoveled into carts and wagons and conveyed over the bidge and across the frozen river to depleted bin?. Frenzied householders have been robbing the trains all week at South Danville. Usually they waited until the coal cars stopped on the siding at the water tank, but Friday so deter mined were the panic-stricken crowd that they applied the brakes. It is said that over 100 tons of coal have been stolen at this point during the week. Railroaders have made lit tle effort tostop this wholesale robbery as they realize their inefficiency before so large a crowd. Railroad policemen will try to foil the suffering citizens' free coal scheme this week.

Did you make up your mind from this that you did not need glasses? Did you (jo on suffering from headache and eyestrain, because there there was no relief ? This has been the experience of hundreds of people. The secret of the matter is that they need glasses made for them. No ready made glass in the would will ever fit their eyes or prove a benefit. My business is to take the measure of the eyes and order glasses made especially for them. If there are weak muscles or defective nerves, I see that the glasses put thera into normal condition. If I have glasses in stock that fulfill all requirements, I fit them for you while you wait. Otherwise I send to the factory for them. They must fit you perfectly in every way. G-eo- "TsT.
