Adams M1h00d:-
GENTLEMEN I'VE have been inform
ed that you have threatened to prose-
cute us to the full extent of the law for
making and selling, or any person for
buying or using our stave peach bas-
kets on which you claim Letters Pat
emit. Your advertisement in the Smyr-
ma Times, May 3lst, is also intended to
prevent the sale of our stave baskets by
threatening any person who may buy
them with legal prosecution.
The peach growers of this Peninsula
have too long used to stave peach bas-
kets, and during the last two years been
forced to pay entirely too high prices for
them To be easily frightened bv such ex-
pedients IS on seem to think will pre-
vent the further use of them unless
bouSht of you, at such prices as you
may charge them, now that we are ma
king a much better, and selling them at
lower prices than they have been sold
heretofore. ..tf He
We desire, however, to inform you
that we are now making our stave peach
baskets and selling them in large num-
bers to peach growers, who express
themselves well pleased with them
Our orders are daily increasing.
If you desire to test the legality OF
your Letters Patent, as claimed on your
stave basket, you now have the oppOr.
tunity. We will also furnish you with
the names of one or more responsible
persons who have bought our baskets
against whom, we are authorized x
state, you can also institute suit.

FOLLOWING HIS ExAMPLE.-Presi-
dent Grants example of paying no re-
gard to laws which displease HIM is hav-
ing effect upon subordinate members of
the Government. On the Bird of March
an act was passed regulating the long
disputed question of rank between the
staff and the line of the navy. The
measure was compromise between the
claims of the staff on the one hand and
the extreme pretensions Of the line, as
championed by Admiral Porter, on the
other; and of course the self-suficient
Admiral was not pleased with the idea
ofrelinquishing any pretensions.
The usage in the navy uniformly has
been to incorporate any law affecting
that branch of the service in genera
order for information and observance
but in this case, though three havl
passed since the law was enacted, n,
notice whatever appears to have beer
taken oft by the navy department.
The distinguished officer who is kline
enough to run the Navy Department
for Secretary Robson can plead higl
precedent for his disregard of law ant
contempt fer Congrcss.-N Y. San.

HoD to Make Good Local Pupers.-
The first step is to subscribe and pay in
Advance for yourself. This your can cas-
lily do. The zext thing is to encourage
and persuade your neighbors and friends
10 &c likewise. This will help to sup
pert your local paper.
Whenever you have anything 10 sell;
IF you are in trade or following n me-
chanical pursuit, advertise your bust
ness in your local paper. These local
advertisements are much more interest
ing rea. ing matter than people think.
They give business aspect TO the paper
and render vital aid in it's support.
When you subscribe, advertise or get
jop work done, don't jew the printer.
This much on the subject of support
ing the local paper. The next thing is
to make the local paper interesting.
IT. you hear of any extraordinary oc-
currence-send word to the editor.
When you get into the spirit of writ
iDg-if you can write short, spicy, pun
gent or pointed articles, do it-and send
them to the printer. Your local paper
is of more value than any city paper.
Reader, think of these suggestions,
and see if you can't do something more
than you are now doing to sustain the
