Reader, if you are iu either of these classes, don’t forget us. It requires money to run a newspaper as it does every other business.

Fine Work. The Weekly is under obligations to Mr J. 1. Smith for an intricate job of reparing on our large power press this week, ft was that of mending a spiral steel spring,which has heretofore been thought could only be replaced by a new one from the factory. Bus with the splendid ingenuity of Mr. Smith it was made as good as new in “less tbau no time,” without the least trouble. Verily, John Smith is a good one—a complete master of his art. Nearly a Fire. McDonough narrowly escaped from a serious fire last week. The drug store of Dr. C. D. McDonald, about the middle of the block on the south side of the public square, was set on fire between the roof and ceiling by a defective stove flue. The dame was discovered before it had made much head, and owing to the prompt action of those who first made the discover) it was soon extinguished.
