In the meantime it was discovered that the wrong over coat had been placed in the bundle, and the citizen called at the church to see if it had been sent away, when lo, and behold, he was greeted by a good deacon whose person was wrap ped in his over coat.

There seems to be a growing sentiment against them. The Minneapolis Journal says: It may seem to some people like a very small thing to kick about, and yet the multitude of these machines and the frequenency and facility with which they may be used, especially by boys make them dan gerous. The nickel-in-the-slot gam bling device is the kindergarten to the faro bank and the roulette wheel. They are educating gamblers every day. There are several hundred of these machines in operation in this city the number has been estimated as high as a thousand. The majority of them are in stores of men who would not be guilty of running a regular gambling house, and who probably do not apreciate the injury they are inflicting upon young men new are they maintained by a class of people whocare to antagonize the law. —Two ordinances are published in this paper. —The Swedish Mercantile Co. has a new. ad in this paper. —Mr. Pendergast of Mt.

Job printing peddlers should be treated the same as grocery peddlers, with no en couragement.—Adrian Guardian. There is a class of men in every town who expect the newspapers to "go for" everything and everybody who in anyway antagonizes their in terests—especially the peddlers. They expect the newspapers to boom the town, and in a general way give the people to understand that goods are being sold "right in this town" cheaper then any where else, that they may profit by people coming here. Yet what do they contribute in return for this? Nothing. They even have the brazen affrontitv to tell you that "advertising does not pay." The ADVANCE has no complaint to make, it has more advertising than it deserves, but we can point you to towns where its newspapers are not appreciated, and the business men every year reap the benefits of the work of the editor. Such towns ought not to have a newspaper, they dont deserve them the streets ought to be seeded tot grass, crows ought to roost on the lamp posts, and the hoot owls build nests among the dusty, grimmy shelves of the unprogressiye business tnen. —T W.
