Mills Resuming Business.

Last Wednesday, Messrs. Schulem-
berg d Co. fired up and commenced
vigorous operations a; their large mill at
the upper part of the city, running night
and day. This mill employs some twenty
five saws, and gives employment to a large
number of men. In fortnight, or sooner
Messrs. Hersey & Staples will commence
running their mammoth establishment
with full set of hands, and we presume
the four or five other mills will also be in
operation by the same time. Seventy
fiv,, saws ia motion within the city limits
will add materially to the business of the
place, and will be happy change from
the dull routine of winter life.
This early resumption of the lumber
business is indicative of better financial
state of eff IRIS. We understand there is
considerable enquiry for lumber from tho
south, and at remuneratiye prices. We
have heard of one sale of 100000 feet
o logs and 100000 feet Of lumber by
one firm. The prospect for the future is
certainly more encouraging than anything
experienced during the past eighteen
months Saltwater Messenger.

Plant Trees.

Some person endowed with a goodly
deg ee of human kindness in his heart
anu a liberal stock of common sense in
his head, thus expostulates-
''Plant trees fer yourself, your children
your neighbors and generations to come.
Plant trees for orchards of luscious fruits.
Plant trees around your dwellings, and by
the roadside; it will make your home
pleasant and happy.
Don't ask yourself if it will pay three
or six per cent, month, for the first or
second year. Iftrees are planted and car
ed for, they will soon pay even more than
money at six per cent. per month.
They will pay in luscious fruits and
rich foliage. they will improve the ap-
pearance of your farms and dwellings.
Don't delay planting trees, for procrasti
nation is the thief of time. He will not
only steal your time but will cheat you
out of many basket of rich fruits.
Don't delay because your means OR ter
ritory is small. Plant few; give them
good culture, and they will soon richly re-
pay you with bountiful harvest. Don't
de ay because somebody has a big orchard
and fruit will be SO cheap that il won't
sell for anything. Good fruit will pay
and it will always pay besides giving
health and happiness to thousands.
Plant trees, vines and fowers Live
as though life was worth ha' ing J.

mo.est or make us afiaids

School Money.

The apportionment of school money
from the state this year, is 81 cents per
scholar, II cents less than last year.
The State Superintendent thus accounts
for the decrease -
'.There is an increase of $4,000 chill
dren, while there is a decrease of the a.
mount apportioned, in round numbers
$4,000. The Legislature last year
transferred 25 per cent. of the Swamp
Land Fund from the School Fund. and
thus added to the Drainage Fund over
1851 900, the annual interest on which
amounting to over $4,000, is so much Of
dimunition of the School Fund income.
The Legislature, which has just adjourned
passed an act extending the time of pay
ing interest on dues to the School Fund,
which has considerably lessened the a.
mount now apportioned."

supplied with publications adapted to their

Choice Extracts.

The editor of the Dmocrot last fall in
dulged in lavish praise Of the Board of
Supervisors. Through his influence and
that of few others, the salary of two of
the county officers was fixed at sum RI
diculously small. At least, we thought
SO, and said so, and the same feeling was
very general. But the Democrat was
pleased and exultant. Its love for the
dear people-the suffering over burdened
tax-pay ers--was fervent and excessive
1t hugely admired that County Board,
and it spoke with smiling complacency
of its own ardent longings and arduous
labors for the public good. The secret
was, by means of the Board, the Demo-
crat was enabled to crafty personal hos
tility.
AT the last meeting of the Board, it
very properly fixed these salaries at
reasonable figure. Now the Democrat
villfies the same men, who short time
ago were the objects of its fulsome lauda-
tons. Its anger is awful-but impo-
tent. .-s...-s
We append few choice extracts from
its issue March 20, to show the style and
spirit of its criticism.
Speaking Of the Board of Supervisors
it says
'sThese miserable Republicans exactly
fill the scriptural definition of hypo-
critic"
Again it says
'Their action last fall showed that they
were men of sense. The good work was
nobly begun, and for doing good the
Transcript and Journal abused them
And for this abuse, and at that time vii
ifcation, the majority Of the members at
the adjourned session, like whipt ours,
curled under the lash, kissed the rod that
smote them, and voted them each So
90 of the peoples money to pay them for
it."
1t further addresses the Board, as fol-
lows
aye freedom shriekcrs, liberty lovers,
and men of loud professions, what do you
look like now? Your manhood is trail
ing in the dust. You are by-word and
reproach. Your $1,000 bought presses
won't save you from the finger of the peo-
pies scorn."
1t closes with this charitable judg-
nent.
ssNe have been amused at the misera-
Bile course that has lately been pursued by
the Board. We doubt not but that
majority of them were inclined to do what
was right, but they undertook to please
everybody, and the result is, they have
made ninnies of themselves. and pleased
nobody. Let the vascillating take warn
ing by this, Be men or be mice"

~ Among all the family and itera-
ry papers Of the land, the Home Journal
edited by NORRIS g. WILLIS, stands first
and prominent. 1t is not noisy and pre-
tentious, like the Ledger ,r the Ne :cury.
1t docs not dash magnifcently through the
literary heavens, attracting the gaze of
stupid wonder. It is not lurid with the
g'are of battle, nor fearful with the roar
of ten p st, Nor distressingly dolorous with
the woes of the wondrously beautiful Ma
ry Ann. The vulgar man may wear
broadcloth and dine Delmonico's, but no
one mistakes him for a gentleman. The
easy, unaffected manner, the grace and
polish of cultivation, the poise and balance
of the gentleman he cannot counter
felt.
Just so the Home Journal, is the first
of its class. 1t moves among its loud,
ambitious competitors, with the bearing
of a superior. We doubt If there is pa
per in the land that has so select a circle
of readers as the Home Journal. We
never saw til a a family where there was
not taste and mental cultivation, and its
habitual presence in the sitting room is a
sufficient guaranty ofthe character fits
occupants.

in ecstasies over the report that S. M.
Booth has seduced young girl. He clio
ses an article on the subject with the fol-

almost suppose from the flippancy with
which Pump describes meanness, that it
is something he is very familiar with.

The Eau Claire Free Press, urges
upon the citizens Of that place the duty
of setting out shade trees. 1t says:
''The next six weeks will include the
most suitable time in the year for trans
planting forest trees for adornment of our
streets. Plenty Of Films, Naples, and
Ashes may be obtained with little trouble,
and in a few years-so few as to sur

proper for the Democrat to call the OBJ

But we would not be captious. We
suppose the Democrat is true to its in
