With tlio Mighty Hunter giving a Hrst-class imitation of Achillea sulking in Ids tent, the campaign is likely to lack fireworks, the 'Kepubttertns could not have found two less magnetic men. more completely encased In Ice-bound IK'rsonallty, than Hughes and Fair I tanks. Nor is Wilson of tlio typo that inspires ardent iH-rsonal devotion or wild enthusiasm, though lie commands admiration, respect and loyally. Not often does the heuch furnish a commanding and magnetic candidate, licmocraiy tried it ^n 1P(M, when it drafted Alton it. Parker from New York state. He had dignity, poise,, mentality of a high order, yet he did not captivate imagination.

A few days ago we had quite a large order of job printing from a promi nent business man in Camden. v The work was printed, delivered and a bill mailed for same. Quite a kick was made by our friend at what he ??ailed exhorbitant juices. We let it go by without saying anything. Our friend immediately got prices on the ??amo job from out of town printers, and found that, our prices were lower than the others. We always try to give good service at a fair profit, and as a rule we have few kirks on our I u'ices.
