While he Is cone, Fighting Peeler will be in charge and anyone having a grievance can call and set tle with him. • e • We note with genuine pleasure 'he improvement in the Chester Reporter under the direction of Messrs. Perk ins & Irwin. We had a warm spot in our heart for Mr. Bdctuiian and re gret to see him leave the field, which he has so long honored. We trust the new proprietors of Th; Reporter will meet with the success their ef forts deserve. « • • We are thoroughly disgust-d with Senator Tillman’* advoC:.'-> u£ the dispensary and hi-s unreasonable and ♦d l>e necessary, and progressive Oafl- ney is ready to take the step.

The wells heretofore dug, in a slang vernacular, are all to the good. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. to Beautify Tour Complexion IK TBS DATS, Ml MADINOLA JL W THE UNEQUALEO BEAUTIFIER.

On Saturday we received a marked copy of The Spartan. It was evidently sent to us by a friend, and certainly bv no envious newspaper, because the wraper contained it stajnp.
