The Association meets again in the Y. M. C. A. at 4p. m. on Monday at which time the superinten dent will be selected. —Our readers are entirely too prone to forget that resolutions of respect are not printed in the CITIZEN free of charge. Our rate for that sort of mat ter is half price -five cents per line. A society that wishes to have a series of resolutions on the death of a member printed in the newspapers, ought to be willing to pay for them. Newspaper space is the newspaper man's capital. He can not afford to give it away. Resolutions of respect are all well enough, but it they are printed free of charge, it is the newspaper, and not the society that passes them, that is con ferring the favor. When contemplating the publication of resolutions of respect in the CITIZEN yon can form a pretty correct idea of what it will cost by counting the words, dividing the total number by seven, the average number of words in a line of minion, and mul tiplying the result by five. Opera singers and public speakers can keep their voices clear and strong with the family remedy, Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, —WANTED:— GirIs to learn the mil linery trade, apply at, D. T. PAPE'S. 122 S.
