Knox Township.

Last spring knox to&saslhp elected
one Republican Trustee, Mr.. Thornton
Boiling. Heretofore the Democracy had
the entire, control. The report Of fthe
township Clerk shows that the admins
tration of the affairs of the township
cost the people about one hundred dol
lars less during the past year than it
did the year previous, under the entire
Democratic rule. This shows what
might be done If the people woHld elect
some Republicans, instead of having
them all of one party. We don't wish
to be understood as rejecting upon the
honesty of the opposite party, but it is
certainly preferable to have both sides
represented, and then each may act
as restraint on the other in the matter
of unnecessary outlay. Notwithstand-
ing the saving to the township of this
sum of money, the people were not will
ing that Republican should remaip on
the Board, and consequently voted Mr..
Boiling out. They would rather. pay
fifty or a hundred dollars more, and be
under good old Democratic rule. We
call the attention of all thinking peo-
pie to this and simply ask shem to dc
what their honest convictions tell then
to do.

Hints to Tattlers.

The heights and recesses of Mount
Taurus are said to be much infested by
eagles, who are never better pleased
than when they can pick the bones of a
crane. Cranes are prone to cackle and
make noise isaiah xxxviii: l4), and
particularly SO while they are flying.
The sound of their voices arouses the
eagles, who spring at the signal, and
often make tile laxative travellers pay
dearly for their imprudent ehattering.
The older and more experienced cranes,
sensible Of their besetting foible and
the peril to which it exposes them, take
care before venturing on the wing to
arm themselves each with stone large
enough to fill the cavity of their mouths
and consequently to impose unavoidable
silence on their tongues, and thus they
escape the danger. Reader, hast thou
an unruly tongue? Learn lesson from
the elder cranes, and to bride thy
tongue by watchfnlness and prayer,
that thou mayest say with the Psalmist,
81 said, I will take heed to my way,
that I sin not with my tongue.''

The credit system in the newspaper
business seatters small sums of money
aggregating a large amount to each
publisher, over vast extent Of country
rendering collection from tardy debtors
next to impossible and is therefore pro-
ductive of great loss to publishers.
Paper, ink, labor and all other sources
of expenditures in newspaper Offices
require cash.
Better papers can be published when
paid for in advance than when the pro-
prietors are pressed for money tomeet
the daily demands made upon them.
There IS little doubt that n law OF
Congress will, in a few months, require
postage to be paid on all papers sent
through the mails, and that it must be
paid in advance by the publishers.
In view of the foregoing, and other
considerations which it is not deemed
necessary to enumerate, the under
signed, publishers of the Holmes Coun-
ty REPUBLICAN and Holmes County Far
