Taking Country Papers.

OF course the large city papers con-
tain larger amount of reading matter
than country papers, but which is most
interesting? Do the city papers say any
thing in regard to your own county?
Nothing. Do they contain notices ofyour
schools. churches. meetings, marriages,
and hundreds of other local matters of
interest which the country papers publish
without pay? Not an item. Do they ever
say a word calculated to draw attention
to our county and its thriving towns, and
aid in our progress and enterprise? No;
a line And yet there are men who take
the contrary view of this matter, that
unless they see as much reading in their
country paper as they do in a city paper
they are not getting the worth of their
money.-It reminds us Of the person
who took the largest pair of boots in the
box, simply because they cost the same
as the pair much smaller that fit.

Vation set apart for the Sioux Indians
known as the Black Hills of Dakota.
1t is also stated that the Federal officials
have been giving encouragement to such
Illegal and improper ombinations The
excuse for violating our treaty stipula-
tions with the Sioux Indians is that the
territory in question has valuable mineral
deposits. as we'll as large quantities Of
timber ft for lumber. Such an invasion
the government considers will be certain
to provoke hostiities between the In
dans aud the whites, the Indians being
already alarmed and excited over the
threatened encroachments upon their
legal rights. The attention of the Presi
dent has been called by Secretary Delano
to this matter, and by his direction an
official letter has been written TO Gov.
ernor Burbank, requesting him to give
warning that such violations of law will
not be permitted, and that the whole
power of the government will be used If
necessary 20 prevent it. The Secretary
of War has also been officially advised
of the facts. with view to having the

To Editor of the Hickman Courier:
THE LAND GRABBERs
Are ever on the look out, ready at any
moment to appropriate all the peoples
lands for themselves and the ring family
to which they belong. For instance:
There Is section of land, consisting Of
one whole square, in the centre OF the

sixth street, connecting with the Capitol.

tended that all this land from the Capt.
to to the v hite House, about one mile
aud a half in length, and u quarter in
width, was to have been appropriated for
a grand Central park. which would have
excelled in its raral beauty, and lonely
drives any other grounds on the CONT
uent. But q parcel Of jobbers, belong
ing to the Radical ring, are using every
effort good or bad, to get Congress to
make them a gift of the aforesaid square
of land, for the purpose Of building de-
pot for the Baltimore and Pacific Rail
road, which would be giving q great and
rich company land worth over one mil
lion and half dollars. The building
og this Depot, would destroy the great
plans Of the Park, it would also depre-
oiate property in the vicinity, and send
into the center of the city the bowling
shrieks Of the engines, shauering peo
pies nerves, making a regular stable yard
Tor the hack horses, and eventually rhis
one company would accumulate all the
property in the vicinity, and would be
the richest railroad ring in the world.
Those interested are fighting bard for
the passage Of the appropriation, for
they expect to share The spoils, but tie
Democrats are using every eudeavor TO
defeat it, and they eventually viii There
