The man who said that, was an 
active business man, who was con- 
sidering an expansive proposition. 
The information he wanted was all in 
issues of a weekly newspaper. 
He wanted to know about the 
stocks of goods carried by the mer- 
chants, to judge of their business 
capacity by the style and amount of 
advertising they employed—the paper 
would show him. 
He wanted to know something of 
the social activities of the town, 
which the paper would show him. 
He wanted to know something of 
the pursuits of the people in the town 
and the condition of the surrounding 
country. The paper would show him. 
He would scan those papers care- 
fully and would be able to give the 
information as he had stated. 
He would judge the business pros 
pects from the advertising columns, 
of prospective selling possibilities by 
the local happenings, of the tastes 
and intelligence of the people by the 
reading matter the paper gives its 
readers, and whether they were a pro- 
gressive, alert or an easy going and 
comparatively inactive sort. 
Your paper tells the story fully to 
the active, observant business man, 
A noble smiling face,— 
That kind of picture 
No distance can efface. 
The love that once was ours: 
Sweet visions. come, 
When days were dark and dreary, 
And when our feet 
Were heavy, slow and weary. 
But we can still remember, 
That spring is sweeter 
Because of dear December.

If the town merchants are not all 
represented in its columns it would 
spell “Little business,” a bad knock 
for the town. If the local columns 
showed a scarcity of news and little 
of social life it would spell in glaring 
letters, “Nothing doing.” If there 
was a lack of high-class, up-to-date 
reading matter on the livest topics of 
the times, it would spell for him ? 
The investigation would end and 
the town be passed over as not worth 
considering.— Selected.

A child was lost on the street and 
brought into the police station. The 
officials tried in every way to ascer-

asked the little girl, “What name 
does your mother call your father?” 
“She don’t call him any names,” re- 
plied the little one. “She likes him.”

host of friends. Condolences from a 
large circle of Beverly Farms and 
Manchester friends are bestowed up-—
