tance of twenty miles during the night

sad plight, owing to his battered con
dition. . Sympathy seemed divided.

tisement of our principal business

Palace hotel offbe. His work is origi
nal and effective and will be studied
with interest by those who see it. We
are inclined to encourage this disposi
tion of advrrtis'ng as it keeps our busi
ness houses constantly before the pub
lic. American advertising instinct has
placed us far in the lead of all nations.

Settler's Guide, a popular exposition of
our public land system, is before us.

ington, D. C., the well known land
attorney. Its price is only 25 cents.
The chapter on surveys is illustrated
and tells how to decipher township sec
tion corners. Toe book gives the latest
rulings on the Homestead and other
laws. Mr. Copp desires the adlresae)
of all union soldiers who made home
stead entries before June 1874, of leBS
than 100 acres. He has a matter of in
terest for their c msideration .'-
