—A Chrwer's Philosophy.
The world goes awry with the ehewer who for-
gets his plug of Wetmore's Best. If he can 't get
another piece, work runs wrong and pleasure falls
flat. The absent minded man has to buy a piece
of Wetmore's Best ever.' time he makes a change
—the wise man keeps a piece in every pocket.
There's no use trying to get along without Wet-
more's Best. The tobacco of quality. No premi-
ums are offered for chewing Wetmore's Best.
It sells on its merit. Ask your dealer for it.

Princeton be a "prince" indeed
among its kind. A striking fea-
ture in the country are the num-
ber of new farm residences and
barns just being erected. While
referring to these many improve-
ments we will not forget to men-
tion our visit to the office of Drs
Boorman & Davis. These gen-
tlemen, while not officing in a
brick edifice, certainly have a
well equipped office. In fact, as
far as we were able to judge, they
arc prepared to handle their pa-
tients just as well as many physi-
cians of larger pretensions in
larg. r towns. We may possibly
tire our readers with this write-up
of Princeton, t)ut being a "pio-
neer" of that nectjQn, we feel
rather an inspiration.
And now in conclusion for fear
some of our newly acquired read-
ers may doubt our claim as a
pioneer we respectfully refer tb< m
to our old time friend, John Mar-
tin, of .Jack county, for whom we
drove a span of mules while build-
ing ground tanks in the Princeton
AndOulTeoka section iu the long
1(|o. Yes, we were there, but of
course we are young!
