The responded: "In my opinion the advertisements are the most valuable part of it. I look them ever carefully every week and save at least tea times the cost of my paper each year through the business advantage which I get from them." "Well," said the other, "I believe you are right.

I know they pay me well, and I rather tlifnk that it is not very good taste to find In 'ilt with advertisements alter all." Those men the right idea of the matter.

There are quite a number of that denomination convenient to this place lor a good live church. Rev. Jones accompanied his wife and daughter to Dodge City Tuesday, where the ladies will take the cars for Topeka, the home of tue daughter.

The Baptists have selected the lot for their church, and have secured $100 on subscription. Their church will probably be the tirst one erected in the county. Nat.

There is a report among the gossius that a certain party connected with the entertainment last week refused to take part in the entertainment if certain other parties were connected with it. That one party asks The Advocate to state that the report is willfully and unqualifiedly false. The house of R. Smith, living three miles south, was struck by lightning last Saturday nieht.

The lightning siruck the chimney and ran down a ratter and studding into the ground. He says the feeling is not very tunny after recovering from a stroke of lightning. W. P.

He was struck on the by a large hailstone and stunned tor a moment, although his head was two feet below the wagon sheet. The wound bled freely, but was not serious at all. Next Monday evening is the time for the regular monthly meeting of the temperance society. Rev.

The latest news we have from him is a twelve pound addition to the family.

This addition will vote the Democratic ticket in years to come. Two young couples of Fowler City visited Appleton last Sunday while out driving. They tried the ice cresni the Appleton folks have, and report that it was as sour as printing office paste smells. They also report the grass Maia street two fuid a half or three inches high.

"Willi a in conversation with a party of ptospectors from Sedgwick City this week who had been look'mg over the wesiera counties, an immense immigration boom is reported. They said that during their drive from Meade county to Dodge they passed several wagon tiains a mile in length, and that fuOy one-ihiid of the time they were passing immigrants and freighters. They repotted haviug passed through some very fine country Democrat. There was a shooting affray near Belpre Tuesday auiorJg a of Pierce's graders who were ou their way to work on the Arkansas River Western.

Perhaps the most valuable collection in birds' eggs in this country ia the property of Prof.

Thomas G. Gentry, of Philadelphia, who is the author of "The Nests and Eggs of Birds of North America." He spent four years collecting the specimens, some of which are worth to collectors $100 apiece. He recently showed them to a reporter ordinary chicken's eggs, of deep amber color smeared with a darker shade, and vraiued at S20 each, lie alongside of two eggs of the turkey-buzzard of Florida: These are blue, with brown blotches, and are laid in the cavitv of a losr. Both the male and female take turns in performing the incubating process. A peculiar egg is that of the red flamingo, found in the Bahama islands.

This bird, th0urh only the size of a wren, builds a nest twenty -two inches long, four inches wide, and ten inches deep. Its eggs are about tbe size of peanut kernels. Next to them in the cabinet is a set of eggs of the cactus wren, of California, which builds a nest of the size of a half-bushel of cactus spines to protect its little ones from intruders.

The life of the country editor is beset with considerable woe, but it is not without its joj its pleasant features and Al bliss.

lie is often times cussed until his suspendeis bust, but be heeds it not but hies himself to hi3 palatial sanctum and congratulates himself that he wasn't licked. Men in other walks of life sometimes trrow wrathful when they are called bad names, but the country eduor considers it the gravy of life. He likes it, and hie to him would be a dreny waste without it. He would rather have a man come in and call him a "superannuated duplex of a tuan go to the legislature. The madder the man gets at him the happier and smoother becomes the corduroy road of lite.

Of.entimes the muscular citizen comes with the avowed purpose of annihilating the country editor, but no man who has been in the business long will permit srch liberties. Frequently the muscular man is to the sw. et bye and bye, ana the edii.or is compelled to present his accouot to the admirjibtrtkiioQ. This is often a pleasure to him, as he probably would not have collected his account any other way. After a man has been a touutry editor a lew years he likes it, aud would not exchange places with Cleveland or his sister.

There is something fascinating aoout it, although he is fiebuently compelled to live on sow belly and hope. With patent fortitude he continues to dun his delinquent subscribers, and finally dies, leaving a larme estate for his heirs to squabble over. Postal Card. A clock swindling scheme, that for boldness surpasses the Bohemian oats business, has been recently worked with great success in Povtlaud, and vicinity. The mode of working the lacket is so plausible that many who imagine they are not easily gulled are taken in and done for with as much ease as the most verd- iiut.

Two oily-toMgued young ladies visit a town and carry samole clocks with them, and sell ihe clocks on the installment nlan. After a town has been, thoroughly worked they deliver the clocks ami demand '2, the first payment, and inform the purchaser that in uO days the collector will call for the second payment. Seveial weeks elapse and a gentleman cads and politely informs the purchaser that the clock was stolen from him and is his property, and in proof of his assertion gives the number of the clock, and if tbe holder protests against his taking the clock he threatens to biiug suit Tor re ceiving stolen property. In almost every case the ticker is meekly surrendered, and the purchaser imagines he or she, as the case may be, has had a lucky escape. Although they are minus a clock and 2, they are considerably wiser.

Ex. A family consisting of a man, wife and one or two children, arrived iu the city yesterday morning from Arkansas, in very destitute circumstances. They were euroute for Iowa, and with the exception of the traditional "yaller dog" (an insect most always to be found among the personal effects of those in abject poverty) who failed to materialize, were as sad a looking family as we have seen for a long while. The family had traveled all the way from White River, 'way down in Arkansas, in a wagon that had evidently been iu use since the days of Buchanan's reign at the white house, and was drawn by a team so thin in flesh as to be scarcely able to draw a light buggy. The whole outfit, wagon, team, harness, sheet and bows were sold on 9th avenue to the highest bidder and brought the sum of 47 which amount the lace owner invested in railroad tickets and started by rail with his family to Iowa yesterday eveniog.

Moral Stay away from the isolated hills and mountains if you wish to earn a )iv iiig by tilling the soil. YVinbeld Visitor Another reversible, boycott has sprung into existence up in Wis cousin. In a certain town ia that state it was proposed to raise th; liquor license to if')0d a year and a certain alderman, who is also a large dealer, voted in fa vor of the measure. The saloon keepers immediately and almost unanimously decided not to bey aay more ice from that official. Now the friends of the ice deal er have al' transferred their trade to him and declared that drink fiom any of the saloons which have boycotted him will never pass their lips.

At last accounts statue quo ante had been restored and the lew saloons which had refused to boycott the ice dealer are doing a lushing business under the influence of the patronage conferred upon them by that gentleman's friends. Altogether the boycott, when properly worked, is a limless sort of thiug after all. Leavenworth Times. A clock manufacturing firm in India have lately completed a very large ingenious timepiece in the sh ipe of an eight day clock, which strikes the hours on a large full toned gong and chimes the quarters on eight bells. In connection with the clock there is a perpetual calender, which gives the correct days of all the various mouths mclu iing the twenty-nine days in February in leap year.

There is also a militaiy procession worked by the clock, representing various braccUts of the British army, consisting of aitillciy, cavalry and infantry, and the st iT in review order.
