Jbsr WRIT We NERD.-Some of
our neighboring cities have organized
societies or associations, the object of
which isto encourage the establish
ment of permanent and paying manu-
factories in their midst, and have
elected officers whose duty it is to
correspond with such parties as they
can hear of that are likely to wish to
invest capital in the manufacture of
any useful article or implement Such
an organization is just what our town
needs badly, and the sooner the better.
Let our citizens meet and effect an
organization of this kind, raise a small
fund, place it in honest hands for the
payment of all necessary expenses, and
then have q committee appointed to
correspond with all parties from whom
there IS likelihood of obtaining the
needful aid. Let it also be the duty
of that committee to collect facts, sta
tistics and data likely to be of avail i'm
the discharge of their duty, and such
as would probably interest the men
needed to establish these shops. We
=, have ia everything needful. Cheap
wood at, eyery door yard, railroad
and steamboat $ privileges = cheap
lumber, cheap, desirable locations,
the best of agricultural country
surrounding and everything neces-
sary to insure the success of many
kinds of ofmanutactoriess 4 Let us organ
, ize such a society here, and when in
the correspondence party mentions n
particular branch oftrade, canvass the
subject, represent it to him as it is,
selects suitable location for him, ascer-
tain what it can be purchased at, and
show him by your aid, advice and assis-
tance that you want him to come in
stead of repelling him by the turning
of your cold shoulder. When YOU
read this, reflect upon it. Donot for
get what We have said, but ask your
selves. if this is not true, and il we
must not do this to make our town
what its natural advantages point ont
1t should be. Other towns no larger
without one-half the natural advan-
tages we possess, have become flour
ishing cities in few years by liberal
policy. -ss ~
- A RACE EoR STocK.-Shares In the
Wv & C. N. Wagon Road are worth
from 800 to 500 per cent, with an up
ward tendency. There has been con-
siderable skirmishing around, during
the past few days, between the share
holders and bidders, and one or two
lively "corners" have been effected. A
few days ago a couple of gentlemen
staffeSf for s0ehoco Valley, I2O miles
from this city, to buy ten shares which
were held by one Mr.. Powell, who lives
in that remote region. They repre-
tsented different interests and each OF
them was bent on beating the other
there and securing livestock which they
knew to be for sale. Mr.. III. started
out several hours ahead of Mr.. c., but
& while he laid do n and slept at the toll
gate, 35 miles from here, G. slyly passed
him and went on to Fish Lake, where
his mule gave out and where he stopped
to rest and refresh himself with sleep.
Meanwhile H. took his nap out at the
tolI-gate and went forward again, and
in turn passed the sleeping C. at Fish
Lake. The latter, thinking that III.
would take another snooze on the road
before gaining his destination, urged
his mule forward again but alas for
his hopes, III. never "let upv for rest or
sleep until he had arrived at Powelrs
rancho and secured. the much coveted
prize So when C.. arrived at the house
of Powell, I'll. was ready TO start back
with the ten shares .snugly ensconced
in his ,breeches pocket. OfHcourse C.
: had to make the best OF the joke, cuss
isill-lucki and his lazy mule, and re-
turn to this city used up man. He
had started out on the race with the
agility and buoyancy of the fabIed
hare, but the slow porpoise waddled
past him in his sleep and won the race
in the end 'Sieh is life.
sE5 An. INDIAN KILLED.-The Indian
population of this vicinity was numer-
icalIy diminished in the sum of one on
last Saturday night, under the follow
ing circumstances: A Calipooia Lo
bearing the somewhat euphonious title
of Jim =, Sullivan, who lives near
Brownsville, came to this city ON Sat
utday armed with a revolver, couple
of bottles 5of whisky and pack OF
cards, and went up to the aboriginal
camp near the Albany cemetery and
engaged his dusky brethren In that lit
tie, game at which Bret Harte's Hea-
then Chinee was so successful in COM
sing it over Bill Nye. After the game
had progressed into the sswee sma
hours ayanf the twal'' and the liquor
which the bad Injun Jim had taken
into the camp of his friends had fired
his valiant heart to deeds of blood, he
engaged another Indian named Charles
!. in quarrel and then. drew a revolver
and. shot him through the breast and
through the head, killing him instant.
s ly.s The; friends of the slain warrior
soon surrounded the bad Injun and dis
armed him and kept him in custody
until Sheriff Irvine arrived at the scene
