It is reported that another store will be opened here in the spring. If fertilizer needed by farmers ore kept, such as phosphates, kainit, plaster and lime ho may do a good business iu them. Advertising in the papers pays. For example, I want an article not kept by onr merchants because they say there is little sale for it. I look In the Press and see it advertised In some other town, 1 go there and incidentally buy eeverul other arti cles and our home merchant loses the trade. Or if they do keep the article and do not advertise it I am likely lu the' same way to go where I know I can Hud it. So with far. mors if they would advertise their wants or what they have to sell in the way of stock, buyers would know just where to go without traveling around the country. Get in the way of advertising yon will find it pays. The suow this winter has brought out the antiquated sleighs, some of which look rather funny. Nature destroyed most of our crops last year and this year has started out the same way. ' The first egg crop is injured by reason of hens having their combs frozen. Armand Heater will move on the A.

I see that parties are again at work to form a new township, taking pieces from Andover, Green, Hamp ton and Htillwater townships and calling the new township Fredon. It would seem to the majority of the people that this county is all right as it is without forming any more divlnionp. But, there will be some offices to fill and that is about the size of it. Senator Price has been placed upon several committees at Trenton, and will be a very busy man this winter to keep up with all he has been assigned to, but Jacob will be found equal to the task. : Claud Iepue of Laytoti went to New York last week to look up a position on the trolley lines in that city.

TUB CR"MIY rvtSUN TPS COMPANY, 116 M.ll 5trett. korhrater, N. V. A BUFERSTITIOUB NOTIOK An Old Fallacy Refuted, but Pussy Gets a Rebuff East Liverpool, Ohio. Clyde, the 18-months-old baby of Mrs. EtntrtA Prout, while lying at its mother's side, was nearly killed by a cat yesterday. The cat sucked the child's breath and then its blood, after biting the little fellow The mother awoke in time to save her son's wavering life. The child was scratched badly in getting the cat away. The DiRpatoh, Columbus, Ohio. The above quotation is going the rounds of the papers. As it gives expression to a notion that has been in existence ever 'since we could recollect, we thought it might not be out of place to comment on it. Can a cat do any such thing as is implied by the article? Can a cat really suck the breath of a child? We have always heard that il could. Away back in early child hood, we distinctly remember ol frequent warnings to look out for the cat. Do not allow the cut to get into bed with you. Especially to get into the bed with the baby, as il is liable to suck the bady's breath, which would cause the baby to die. Is there any foundation for such a notion as. this? We never oould discover any real meaning to the belief that a cat can Buck the breath of a child. Indeed, the sentence is totally unintelligible What is meant by sucking the breath? It may be true that the cat, attracted by the breath of a ohild who had recently been nurs ing, might attempt in some manner to interfere with the child' mouth. In young cats the impulse to nnrse might be excited by the smell of the ohild's breath. It is barely possible that the cat might be seized with n desire to bite or to devour the child's lips or tongue lured on by the smell of milk. We are not in a position to deny these possibilities. Maybe they aro true. But not any of these suppositions furnish a basis for the statement that the cat is liable to suck the ohild's breath. We have always heard this statement with a shudder of horror. It seems to convey some weird, horrible tragedy that can hardly be imagined. But it is a mere fancy, the origin of which is hard to explain. Yet we would advise mothers to be careful about leaving the infant with a cat. vYe do net favor the idea of cats sleeping with, childron. Nor do we favor the praotio. of children playing with cats, handling them, mopping them aronnd the floor, fondling them, dressing them np as dolls. It is not good for the cat. It is not good for the ohild. Neither cats nor dogs onght to be treated in this manner. They are all right in their place, bnt they are not fit for playthings. If the superstition that a cat can suck a child's breath has operated aa a preventive to mothers allowing their children to play with cat', it has served a very good purpose, but such childish notions are hardly compatible with mature reflection. It is onj of the old wives' fables which may have served a good purpose, but is too ridiculons for repetition. There are other and better reasons why the cat and baby should not be left together than the vague, unintelligible fear that the cat will sack the child's breath. The Washington Post remarks that since George W. Peck has stated that Wisconsin will go democratic this year, the charge that Peck has ceased to l funny Is completely refuted. Gumshoe W. J. Stone of Missouri is credited with having delivered the goods which took the democratic convention to St. Louis. Mr. Fingers, a Milwaukee alder man, has beeu indicted for activity in a boodle transaction. "Much con demned to have an itching palm." Mr. Schwab bus apparently ad mitted those charges which were absolutely proven against him in connection with the Ship Building Trust. The Hearst boom w ill now start a newspaper in St. liuis, the city chosen for the deiiiocrutieeonventioii.

At a meeting of the Official Board Wednesday night the matter of the material for the church roof was again disoussod. It is a nuefdion as to whether the fcteol roof will be at all suitable.
