What the Newspaper Does.
No merchant can expect to doa thriv-
home newspaper. People who go shop-
ping haven't the time to run from one
store to another. They are thoroughly
posted on the places where they can
get what they want. The newspaper
saves them much time and trouble,
and the thrifty merchant is the one
who makes the advertising a necessary
adjunct to his business,
IR A
The Best Evidence,
The REPORTER'S list is growing, not
slowly, but with additions of many
new names right along. This is with-
out solicitation or a canvasser, and
there is no better or more satisfactory
recommendation that it publishes all
the news all the time. Nothing is
missed and you get a live energetic
sheet every week right along.

Novelty Worn Of,
About a year ago when the town
was supplied at every corner with a
lamp, it was a decided novelty, and
the streets and alleys were as dazzling
as the noon-day sun, moonlight nights
as well as the darkest nights. The
street lighting was kept up remarka-
bly well for several months, up until
the last month, when the lights began
to wane and finally vanished altogeth-
er. Last Bunday night when church
was out the people groped their way
home in darkness, tramping lightly
and feelingly over our broken and di-
lapidated walks, Fortunately no ac
cident occurred and the people got
home safely. Turn on the light.
