MIND Your OwN BUSINESS. The
great trouble is that people pay more
attention to the affairs of others than
to their own. Mans head is not dou-
bic barrelled, like shot gun. God gave
every man q head of his own, and he
who attends to his own business has
enough TO keep him busy forever. Peo-
pie are like wasps. Society is sugar
barrel with the sweetness taken out
Meddlers go buzzing and bunting their
against the soured sides. There are
thousands who know nothing of their
own business, but know all about the
concerns of their neighbors. We all
despise such folks, yet fall into their
errors. We say they are fools, and theyare
and yet we all adopt their peculiarities.
Each man has duty--it is to himself,
and through himselfhe benefits others

factory. He informed us that the boil
er was filed with water, which we have
heard disputed. The neighbors unite
in saying that the boiler has for long
time been considered unsafe, which,
coupled with the fact that Mr. Wode is
not practical engineer, accounts for
al explosion which has caused SO much
misery aud distress.
We hope that this matter viii be tho
roughly inquired into at the Coyoner's
inquest. The public demands search
lug investigation, and where the blame
is found to belong, there let it rest
The residents of the neighborhood
