It is uettiDg to l>e the proper thing for farmeis as well as merchants and other business men to have printed sta tionary. And we can see 110 reason why they should not take their proper | place among business men by adopting business methods in as many ways 11s possible. There is a combination of j business and sentiment in giving your J farm a name like "V alley \ iew Place. "Maple Spring Farm" "Maple Dale.', or something of the kind, as it lends a eer -1 tain dignity and individuality to the , place, an increasedt sense of pride in the j proprietorship thereof, as well as addi tonal importance in t.te eyes of produce dealers or commission merchants with whom yon are dealing. A small invest ment in printed stationary giving your residence and business, such as breed ing of thronghbred stock, the inanfac tnre of dairy produce, etc., might prove of no slight advantage to yon. as well as giving a certain decree of satisfac tion. And when yon conclude to have some note heads and envelopes printed remember that the same can be had at the CITIZEN* office as cheap and good as anywhere. >* 1:1 <; H1 JO I i 11001> NOT KS.

We watch with deep and abiding interest the heroic battle of the Cuban patriots against cruelty and oppression, and our best hopes go out for the full snccess of their determined contest for liberty. The government of Spain having lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or lives of resident American citizens, or to comply with its treaty obligations, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use its influence and good offices to restore peace and give independence the island.

The attraction at Park Theatre Fri day, April 22, will be the Joshua Simp kins Company. It is a strong rural comedy drama, opening with a realistic scene of rural life, showing Skinner Tavern with Uncle Josh's Wild Briar farm in the distance. The play pro gresses, abounding with interesting situ ations, until the climax is reached, in the third act, when a human being is helplessly bound to a log to be cut in twain by a mammoth buzz saw, and is only saved by the timely asrival of Uncle Josh. "Joshua Simpkins" was written with the view of keeping an audience thoroughly amused and it fully carries out the author's intention. The plot is not allowed to interfere with the comedy parts to any great extent, thus producing a play that is not only thrillingly interesting, but is said to contain as many laughs as there are grains in a "heaped np" bushel of wheat.
