EW Now, since embryo winter is about
to step into forbidding abyss and slumber-

out door nature are antagonisms, let us all
to work at books and newspapers and help
forward the intellect. Have you all got
the HERALD, Tribune and other papers, be-
sides one or two magazines? Now is the
time to lay in your winters wood and rea-
ding. Can't you write a few practical
thoughts upon farming, stock raising, mi
ming, and SO on, for the HERALD. Make
up your minds to help move forward this
great world that God has built for us and
placed us in; help to drive humanity along,
by teaching, coaxing and by example,
You may say something through the col
umns of your County paper that will cause
a revolution for good, that may save hun
dreds from distress or add millions of pro-
perty. Write your thoughts without aim

fences; write short articles; state facts and
if you have a valuable opinion, give it,
facts and opinions mix very well-argu-
ments are of less account.
