Having been for some months past
reader of the ADVERTISER and Post,
| have had much pleasure in reading
the local news furnished by cores.
pondents in various parts of the coun-
ty, of which our flourishing town has
contributed its share.
The arrangement is good one.
II makes a county paper the medium
for the exchange Of news, adds spice
and interest, and renders it what it
really should be-a county paper.
These local items are generally read,
and thus we learn of much that is 60
ing on in the county of which we
would otherwise remain ignorant.
There are persons in every commu-
nifty capable of gathering up much
that is valuable and interesting, and
giving it to the pubic through the
press. Little of classical or literary
attainment is required to enable them
to do this, and If these locals confine
themselves to their proper sphere,
they will confer favor upon the read
ing public; for when they transcend
the department they have volunteered
to fill, and fancy themselves literary
stars, unless they are used to the
business, they are apt to attempt more
than they can lift" Our most pop
ular writer's of prose and poetry have
risen step by step through patient
and persevering labor and study, until
they have won their way to enduring
fame. The readers Of the ADVERTISER
and posi- would not object TO the
rising star. but to hurst at once meta,
or like into the horizon of poetry and
literature, without any warning, shin
ing in the splendor of borrowed light,
is not healthy. They will be likely to
find themselves in the unpleasant pre-
dicament Of the foolish virgins, gre
as Of yo,r OIL" &c. Ye locals be-

Editor Upton Advertiser II believe
| have not seen any Communications

some time. l thought 1 might as well
bore you with communications as any
body else, and have been suffering q
great deal lately for the want Of some
way or some channel through which 1
could give vent to my pent up feelings.
All, Mr.. Editor, you cannot know
what l have suffered in the past few
days.
In the last ten days my bright pros
poets for the future have been blasted.
Noe is me. You doubtless noticed
in the papers something said about
certain committee appointed in Day
ton township, to investigate the cause
of high taxation. Oh, dear me, that
was the cause Of all my trouble.
But how proud l felt when my
name was announced as one of that
committee. thought that my way
to high Office in the county was clear,
aud Oh, with what pride did I take
my way to Upton, to investigate the
cause OF high taxes; how / swelled
with pride when walked up the steps
and into the court house. Why, you
would have thought that owned not
only the court house but Cedar county

to realize my consequences, and he
passed them over to me. |, or we,
made the investigation that was to
make me SO popular, and finally to
place me in the highest Office in the
county in the gift of the people. We
returned home, the people were called
together, we made our report which
was received favorably by the people.
All went well until an article appeared
in your paper, High Taxes" In 1t,
1t stated that in the report Of commit
tee in matters Of dates and figures,
however, we notice some serious
mistakes, being unable to connect the
various statements about debts OF the
county" Now. don't. gentlemen-why
did you not let US down easy, gen

You say you were unahie to connect.

but It was. One and all Of us had ar
