The grain, fruit, vegetables, etc., ex

For the information of those who
are dealing with and writing about

While mentioning this, we will state
that some people who write for the
newspapers will commence almost ev
ery word in a sentence with a capital
except the names of the days in the
week and of the months in the year
When capitals are used profusely it
will not be amiss to drop them in
among the words mentioned above.

was also an Odd Fellow. These two
orders attended the funeral in large
numbers. The deceased left an aged
and helpless father, a mother, wife
and one child. His sad accident calls
to mind tne tact that it occurred on a
Sunday train. There ought to be so
loud a protest from railroad employes
and the public that Sunday traffic
would be stopped.
