A 8 post master we draw the line on "licking" everVbodys stamps. The Government never intended that one man in a community should be forced to such unkindly and unlim ited treatment.

They complained of the jolt of the wagon being a trifle tire soiiie. The city guests of LaPorte are not as strong and health} - as those who visit the 'Mere. It is a common occurrence to see driving into town a whole grist of Eagles- Merc guests in lumber wagons that would rattle the bones of a Sullivftn county man so profusely that a phy sician would necessarially have to be called to replace them. Those 'Mere guests evidently are 'dyed' young but wc are willing to wager our hat that tliey will not die young. Labor Day Approaches.

The lirst of these will be much larger than the one now in use and will be the one used mainly by business men. Its size will be sufficient to ad mit of the printing of a business card at the top and st ill allow plenty of room for the message below. The second Will be for brief notices and the like. I'or the ladies, who arc beginning to look much more favor ably upon these mediums of com munication, there will be a still smaller one, liner in quality and ♦hore abthetic in appearance. The old bull color gives way in the three sizes to a whiter shade, which every body w ill welcome. THE BOAT RACE, BETWEEN JOHN J. I'AKKE AND P-itfL 10. HUNEKER, OF TIIK Scm vi.KII.I.
