^ Some of we richest business men in
the world ,-^awe spent hundreds of
thousands cjf\ dollars in letting people
know wh'o,ifa.ey' are, where t&ey are
and whatPi&hey have to sell, aad continue to'ifo^iow up that plan, but no
{matter liow hard you try to drive it
into the craniums of some business
men, you can't make them believe
that millions,* of dollars are invested
yearly in advertising. Here are a few
facts and figures that can be easily
Verified. " iR<Br instance, there is Harper's Magazine,.which derives a yearly income qf $350,000 from its advertising patrons and its 12 issues. Pears,
soap pays '&% GOO a year for single page
in the Century.' Enoch Morgan's Sons
spends ann|mJJly $300,000 to keep
"Sapolio" ifeiore the public. As for
'John Wannamaker, it has long, been
known that he pays a man $10,000 a
year to wtftei his advertisements.
In 1888 no j|ss':ihan 8110,000,000 went
into newspaper [advertising.

The firm of Tatman & Schilling has
dissolved by mutual consent. Jurdon
Schilling, after helping to build up one"

tra&ess in this part of the state, retires
and James F. Tatman continues the
business. Mr. Schilling's large circle v©f
personal friends will regret his retirement and wish him abundant success
in what ever business he may adopt.
He talks some of going west again for
his health and embarking in business
there. Mr. Tatman has an announcement on first page.
"Boys, suppose you were to apply to
any one of the business men on the
street and should tell him you' were
the young fellows thatare in the habit
of confronting the church audiences
as they retire from the doors, with
tobacco smoke and nugentlemanly remarks, do you suppose there is a man
on the street that would have you in
his, store? There is noi, one of them
that would employ you for a minute.
He could not afford to do it, for his
busniess;, would suffer by youy presence.
If you have any doubt of this, go - and
ask him. Customers like to meet
gentlemen when they go to trade.
One of the first qualifications of an
employe, therefore, is that he be a
gentleman, and no young man can
afford to be other than a gentleman
and especially in public places."

Dr. Baker, secretary of the Michigan
state board of health, has been making
a,thorough examination and study of
consumption, and has - come to the
conclusion that it°is a communicable
disease. He accordingly recommended
at a meeting of the board that it be
placed upon the list of communicable
diseases and treated as such. Thus
the board decreed, and hereafter consumption in Michigan will be known
as a communicable disease. The
board also determined to rigidly enforce all its quarantine regulations.
Farmers should not cut away all the
timber on their farm for the reason
that they believe it is just as cheap to
burn coal as wood and that the land
put into cultivation will produce crops
Which will sell for more than enough
to supply them with fuel. This may
be true, but when the timber is all
gone they will be obliged to pay high,
prices for fencing and timber which
they now use for many other purposes
about the place. The cutting away
of all the timber gives'the wind a
great influence on the climate, producing droughts, irregular rain-fall and
all sorts of sudden and extreme changes
in the weather.
They're having an awful rumpus
down in Reed City, the bone of contention being the postoffice. The
present postmaster is "Ren" Barker,
presiding genius of the -Clarion (Rep.)
The democrat, or "the foetus at the
mouth of the democratic sewer on
Slosson ave.," as the Clarion styles its
esteemed contemporary is bound to
oust "Ren" by hook or crook and its
redoubtable editor says he will be the
next postmaster, and the Clarion says
he won't and there you have it. If
the Clarion can be believed, the Democrat is resorting to intrigue and deceit
to accomplish its ends and its editor
gets back at the Clarion man, who
says "he is a republican," by calling
a "nuisance"and other mild expletives.
It's very interesting, indeed, to
watch the quill shoversof that burg
try conclusions with each other.
J8To, the country editor has nothing

selves into the office, the type sets itself and heaven pays the bills. Job
work makes no difference in his sport
for it furnishes its own stock, does the
work, collects tbe bills and sticks the
money in his pocket while he is studying whether Cleveland's course in regard to Minister Blount was just
proper or not; or whether Darwin's
evolution theory has been exemplified
to the satisfaction of the present
generation; or if the needle work exhibition at the Scottville fair was excelled by the Indian beadwork; or if

James street Xnidington, was called
after the martyred Jesse of same name.
T$o he has nothing to occupy his mind
at all although his wife will oft remind
him that the bottom of the flour barrel
is in sight; that the last of Jack pine
has gone up in smoke;that the chickens
are eating up the cabbage patch; and
while he is not worrying over this to
tell "him to write up that Mrs. so and
so gave birth to the prettiest boy last
