How quickly you can tell a live
jp. ? town from a dead one by simply
looking over its newspaper. A poor
skim milk sort of a paper with a few
small advertisements, and those looking
as though they we're run at cut
rates, betokens a dead town just as
sure as a corpse indicates a funeral,
while a good lively, well-printed
newspaper, filled with good fresh
ads. and displayed locals, shows that
the town is prospering and thriving.
Male Quartette on Lyceum Course.
The Parland-Newhall Company
comes to us as the fourth number of
the lyceum course, Friday evening,
March 29th. The company consists
of four talented people, and is a combination
of a male quartet, brass
quartet, and bell ringers.
Judging from what lyceum managers
and committees say of it, it is
a company of real merit. It is undoubtedly
the best attraction on our
course, and a treat is in store for all
who love good singing and good
music.
This attraction will be held in the
Fitting School chapel instead of the
opera house. Tickets will be on sale
at Hoover's drug store.
flerchants, Notice.
Why throw trash, paper and other
mKhish on the streets? Place a barrel
at your door and put your rubbish
in it. There is an ordinance against
this practice of sweeping your trash
on the streets, and we hope the
prope- authorities will see that it is
enforced.

Object to Location.
There has been something of a stir
in town on account of the action of
the county board of control in locating
the dispensary in the building
owned by Dr. J." P. Ott? next door to
The Herald office.. Numbers of people
in town are opposed to the location,
as it is now in one of the most
public places on Main street, being
nearly opposite the postoffice, and
on the way to school practically all
of the children have to pass its
doors. Formerly the dispensary was
on a side street, where it was burned
just before it was,closed under the
old law. Upstairs in the building
where it is now located is the telephone
exchange where young ladies
are employed, and this is also urged
as an objection.
Rev. Peter Stokes, pastor of the
Methodist church, has been especially
outspoken in regard to the location.
He spoke of it in plain and
unmeasured terms at the prayer
meeting service last Wednesday
night and also in his sermon on Sunday.
What will be the outcome is
not known.
.. The county board of control, or at
least one member of it, was approached
by the editor of this newspaper
some time ago, in fact just as
soon as we knew the dispensary was
to be placed next door to us, and we
were assured that the board would
conduct the institution according to
law, and no cursing or loafing would
be allowed. That the board did not
want to put the dispensary on Main
street, but no other building could
be procured. That they were will
X 1 ntliamiran

the citizens wanted it, and it was
their desire to handle the problem in
a manner satisfactory to the people
if possible. But that just at this
time they were handicapped in the
matter of a building and nothing
was left them but to open at the
present location. It was our intention
to prevent its location next
to us by law if possible, but ofter
legal advice we found nothing
practical could be done at present.
So far we have not been troubled,
and we hope things will continue as
quiet and orderly as they have been
since the doors were opened.
The county board and all connected
with the dispensary are lending
their efforts to a strict enforcement
of the law. No drinking is allowed
on the premises, and all rear entrances
have been closed up, so
customers cannot go in the lot in
rear of the building to drink. No
lounging in or around the dispensary
is permitted.

What Our Reporter Saw in New York.
A recent visit to one of the largest
paint factories in the world, disclosed
machinery that was producing 10,000
gallons of paint, and doing it better and
m less time than 100 gallons could be
made by hand mixing. This was the
celebrated L. & M. paint. The L. & M.
zinc hardens L. & M. white lead and
makes L. & M. paint wear like iron for
10 or 15 years. 4 gallons L. & M. mixed
with 3 gallons linseed oil makes 7 gallons
of paint at a cost of less than $1.20 per
gallon. If any defect exists in L. & M.
paint, will repaint house for nothing.
Donations of L. & M. made to
churches. Sold by H. F. Hoover, Bamberg,
