EDS. JoURNAL:-The statement in
the JOURNAL of April 3oth, that the
Adventists have fixed upon the 10th day
of July next for the final winding up Of
ell things terrestrial" is rather amusing,
as it betrays the ignorance of some
would be wise acres, who know not
whereof they affirm. No intelligent
Adventist ever thought Of the 10th day
of July of any year. ito say nothing of
the present. or being the probable point
of time at which their spectations were
to be realized.
Does not the remark about their
kindness in allowing time for prepare
tions," betray consciousness Of a need
of preparation? Is it not well to be pre-
pared " lest that day overtake us una
wares! Yours truly.

How &c Happened.

If :he mail fails TO bring your paper.
the first inquiry ia: How did it happen
Well, once in twenty t. ono" in fifty
times, perhaps, your name was missed
in marking. or bundle was lefl behind.
Aud that was bow it happened. Stran-
gers from abroad are iDquiring of us and
about us every week or every day, by
letter or otherwise. and every one inter
rognted inquiries how it happened. Why.
in this wise, namely: Stranger had seen
a copy of the JOURNAL. and carefully
scanned its columns Of business cards
and our advertisements generally, by
which he learned that this was thriving,
lively little village. made up of a pop
ulalion of wide awake, laboring and bus
mess men. Aud that is how it happen
ed.
About year ago. our friend Horace,
of the STIR and Times, told his readers
that this was only an ambitious little
village" and that ''any one of several
stores in the city of Hudson, sold more
goods than all the stores in River Falls
But We have taught our friend better
lesson and he has finally engaged reg
ular agent md correspondent here, de
laring that this is place of some impor-
lance. He has seen that the JOURNAL
has over two hundred subscribe.s who
take their papers from this post office,
and that our i'ems and advertisements
are of importance to the public generally
And that is how it happened.
We see people from adjoining towns
in our own county, in St. Oroix and
even from Polk county, in our village
every day 10 buy goods, tools, wares and
merchandise generally. and we inquire
How does this happen? They. too, have
seen the JOURNAL, they have heard of US
And that is how it happened.
There is a cry Of hard times, property
of all kinds is offered, in other places, a
great sacrifice and great bargains are
proclaimed. But here the prices Of rea
estste are firm, and sales of the sans
Prescott journal. [volume] (Prescott, Wis.) 1861-1871, 1869-05-28

property are better than one year ago.
Good locations in the village, and i'm
proved farms in the vicinity, command
an advance Of twenty to fifty per cent.
over last years prices. And how does
this happen9 We will tell you. The
JOURNAL has not only been in our midst,
but il has been abroad. One tenth OF
the copies taken here are mailed to some
distant friend, or relative, and he, in
turn. hands it to bis neighbor who is in
terested in GU, place, and he resolves to
come and see US. and when here he wants
to locate. And that is how it happened.
1t is the home newspaper, then. that
makes US what we are, both at home and
abroad. We are nothing abroad unless
we are something at home, and we are
very little at home unless we are some
thing abroad. But if we appear better
in one place than in the other, let that
place be at home.
Many things have been done by the
aid of our quarter SHEET" and many
more ma, be accomplished If we main
tain it. We have asked for little. if any
thing, that we have. failed to secure. We
even asked for new court house. II is
now arising. The people. through the
JOURNAL, spoke for it. Aud that is how
it happened. An.
