The friends of Wm. Ditty will be pleased to learn that his pension has been increased from $24 to $50 per month. Mr. Ditty has been sick along time, and the increase is but an act ot justice to a deserving man. The weather has been quite cold the past week, and some snow has fallen, but the running of trains has not been interfered with. The blockade on the Burlington road has been raised, and trains are again running over that line. Everybody seems to be on the ragged edge of expectancy as to when the nomination for postmaster will be made—that is, everybody except Dr. Barber and L. B.

The ADVANCE has received a com munication regarding the band concert, but as one of its reporters was present for the express purpose of writiug it up, which report appears elsewhere, and as the communication would be merely a repetition, we must decline—then the writer forgot to sign his name. Thanks all the same. Elsewhere may be found the articles of incorporation of the Swedish Mer cantile Company. The general busi ness of the corporation will be the buy ing and selling of general merchandise and grain. The company expect to commence business about February 1, in the lower story of the ADVANCJS building, the best location in town. The work of putting in the shelving, etc.. was commenced yesterday. The ADVANCK has heard remarks about Kentucky manners, as exempli fied by loud talk, etc., at concerts and the like. Such conduct is not a fair sample of Kentucky manners. It is merely the wild exhuberance of those who are restrained at home, but came to Worthington with the idea that this is a frontier town with provincial ideas as to manners, and they could let off some of their pent-up enthusiasm and have it considered as "the style." A call lias been issued for the second annual convention of the Woman's Relief Corps, auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, department of Minnesota, which will convene in George N. Morgan Post hall in Minne apolis tomorrow. Miss Ilattie Smith, of Worthington, is junior vice depart ment president, and Mrs. Eloiso Brant is guard.

Its bond was fixed at $10,000. The interest received by the county on deposits from Febru ary 1, 1885, to January 1, 1886, amounted to $359.17.

She went thefs early to attend the wedding of her friend. Miss Celia Farnnm, which took place in that city yesterday. Prof. E. Merritt left this morning for his home in Illinois. The professor is a musician of acdnowledged ability, and the proficiency attained by the Worthington brass band is largely due to his untiring industry in training its members. He has been in Worthing ton about five months, and carries with him the best wishes of a host of friends. Chas. Peterson arrived last Thurs day, to take part in the new Swedish Mercantile Company's enterprise. Con cerning his departure from Dell llap ids, D. T., the Times of that place has this to say: "C. L. Peterson, who has so long managed John Paul's business at this place, has resigned his position and on Monday and he and his family departed for Worthington, Minn., where Mr. Peterson has secured the position of cashier in a large store which is beiug started at that place. C. L. is well known in this countv, and all know him as a thorough busi ness man and the company who has secured his services are fortunate in deed, as a better man for the place could not well be found.

HOME AGAIN and HOME, SWEET HOME Band Probably the best, piece was "Schu bert's Serenade," No. 3 of program, first part. "Sea Ilath its Pearls" and "Life's Dream is O'er." were also good. Mrs. Crigler's solo, No. 6 first part, was encored to which s' re sponded with a verse of the familiar song, "Coming Through the Rye." The cornet solo by Walter DeWolf was enthusiastically encored, to which he responded. But the honors of the evening undoubtedly belong to the Hecox brothers, Charley and Orlow, in their banjo selections and songs. In the second part Orlow and Roddie, a little son of Charley's, did some fine clog dancing, and brought down the house, especially the dancing of the little fellow. The orchestra did fairly well, as also the band. The or chestra was composed of Prof. Merritt, cornet Frauk Crane, piccolo Will Hewitt, first violin E. K. Smith and J. V. Bowser, second violins and Thomas Husselton bass viol. Mrs. C. P. Hewitt presided at the organ.

A matinee will be given Saturday aft ernoon, January 30, at which tits ad mission will bft 10 and 20 cents. The Luverne Herald says of this company: "The best poss'ble test of a theater company's merits and popularity is the patronage it receives upon a return engagement, and the People's Theater Company has therefore good reason to feel highly complimented by the large audience which welcomed its return. ... The company, unquestionably one of the best on the road at time of its first appearance in this place, has been materially strengthened by the acquis ition of Miss Haines, and the Ilerald has no hesitancy in according to the company the highest commendation."

State of Minnesota, county of Nobles, ss.: Auditor's Office, Worthington, Minn., Jan. 16, 1836.—The board of audit of said county met pursuant to published notice at 10 A. M. Members present—Daniel Shell, chair* man board of county commissioners L. B. Bennett, clerk of the district court, and E. S. Mills, county auditor. The chairman stated that the said board had been called together for the especial purpose of opening bids for deposits, and for designating a deposi tary of public funds of said county for two years from February 1,1886. As only one bid had been received, an adjournment was ordered until 2 o'clock p. M., same day. The board met pursuant to adjourn ment, all the members present. Bids had been received and were opened by the chairman as follows: The Bank of Worthington proposed to pay interest monthly on average bal ances at the rate of 41 per cent, per an num, and to furnish exchange free of charge. Nobles County Bank proposed to pay interest on such funds at the rate of 3i per cent, per annum. Mylius Bros. & Co., bankers, of Adrian, proposed to pay interest on said funds at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum. James R. Jones & Co., bankers, at Adrian, proposed to take on deposit such a portion of said funds as would accommodate the western part of the county, and to pay interest thereon at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum on average monthly balances, and expense of transportation to Adrian. The bid of the Bank of Worthington was found to be the best for the whole amount of deposits. It was also found that said proposal would be withdrawn if accepted for only a part of said de posits. The board came to the conclusion that eastern exchange free of charge would accommodate all portions of the county and the business generally, in a way that R'ould be more satisfactory to the public than the proposed division of funds. It was therefore ordered That the proposal of the said Bank of Wor thington be accepted, and that said bank be designated as the depository of the public funds of said Nobles county when its bond, with sufficient sureties legally executed in the penal sum of $40,000, is deposited with the county treasurer of said county, subject to ap proval by legal authorities as required by law, said bond to be so delivered to the county treasurer on or before the 1st of February, 1886 the Bank of Worthington to be notified that their proposal has been accepted. The proceedings of this meeting were ordered published, also recorded in the county commissioners' record. Board adjourned sine die, DANIEL SHELL, Chairman Board of County Commissioners, L.

Sbe was then only six years old. We tried all the best physicians in our town, us well as those at Hot Springs and Eu reka Springs, Arkausas in Philadel phia and .New York City, besides the virtues of numerous other springs which we visited, aud did for her all that affection and money could do for about four years, aud with all this we barely managed to keep her alive. She was the most afflicted child 1 ever saw. She had abscesses ou all her joints aud ou her neck, and small pieces of bone worked from them for more than two years, and her elbow and hip joints stiffened. After trying, ns we thought almost everything, aud apparently without any permanent effect, in our despair we concluded to try Swift's Specific. Strange to say before she had finished the first bottle we saw a change for the better. Her appetite began to improve and her eyes to brighten. SJOII she ceased to com plain of the distressing pains which had made her life miserable for the previous years. In ten months after she began to take S. S. S. all the ab scesses had healed up, and she now had grown much taller and increased in weight twenty per ceut. Now, with the exception of a stiff elbow and hip, she is as well as any one. No one who knew her condition four years ago thought she would ever get over it. We attribute her recovery to Swift's Specific entirely. I have seen it tried with several others here, and always with good results." Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC Co., Drawer 3.

The Journal has made very substantial prog ress during the past year in its business of being a newspaper. The number of readers of the pa per has very materially Increased, and this in crease in the circulation of the paper has been met by liberal additions to the facilities of the oflice for the prompt service of patrons. A new and Lister press has been put in, and two fold* ig machines have been added, and now tne Journal press room is the best equipped for good and rapl I work of any newspaper in the west outside of tire larger cities. In regard to thes9 mechanical facilities, as well as in the point of collecting an preparing the news, the Journal will continue to keep in the lead. AS A NEWSPAPKB The Journal is better than ever before. Its tel egraphic reports are unsurpassed by any west, em paper, and as a collector of neighborhood and western news it has no rival. Nothing to approach its column of Northwestern Items Is published in any other paper, while no other pa per 011 the Missouri river maintains so large and competent a corps of local correspondents. People in northern Iowa, northeastern Ne* bra^ka, southwestern Minnesota and southern Dakota who want the news, or people elsewhere who want the news from the territory named, with comprehensive reports of all prominent occurrences the world over, should buy the Journal. The first aim of the Journal is to give thenews,togiveit impartially and reliably, so that, it may have the confidence of all, and be of equal value to alt, as a newspaper. THE MATERIAL INTKRKST8 or TUB COCNTKT, a wide and rapidly developing eouatry, repre sented by the Journal, will continue to have its best thought and care. Its aim will be to co-op erate with the people in their work of bulldliig up tli'-ir towns, of wisely developing the natural advantages of their localities, of making the country richer and its people happier. POLITICALLY The Journal is Independent republican. Upon matters of public policy it will give free expres sion to its opl ions, and seek at all times to labor for the advancement of such political measures and the choice of such men to public trust as will, in its judgment, conduce in largest degree to the prosperity, peace and moral health or so ciety, ta the greater security of the citizen and to the highest character of government.
