In this respect it is not easy to over-esti-
mate its importance. No other sinrle
agency has 50 strong an influence on the
people of a county, and we doubt if any
force in society exceeds the combined in
fluence of the local papers While minis
tiers and other public speakers address sin
gle audiences, the local paper speaks to ali
of them, not only on the day of publication,
but remaining upon the tables, it speaks
repeatedly, when called upon 1t reaches
those who seldom listen to the voices of
public teachers. The good, bad and indif-
ierent, alike peruse its columns 1t stimu-
lates enterprise, emulation and profitable
competition. Espousing home interests. it
advocates those things nearest and dearest
to the hearts of the people, and becomes a
sort of next friend to every worthy en-
terprise and every good member of society.
1t is the pride of those who pursue paths of
temperance and virtue, bat n terror to evil
doors. Men seek its approval and shrink
from its censurc. 1t is tine only true repre-
sentative of its locality. No man is indif-
ferent to its character or success, for if it be
enterprising, sprightly and truthful, he
regards il with individual pride, but if dull
and unworthy, he feels it to be sort of re-
Election upon himself as well as his locality
How important, then, that these papers be
conducted by men capable, honest and true;
men too hig h minded to be used as tools of
parties or cliques, who can refuse tempting
brides to sustain bad measures or cover up
evil deeds, and who, directed by sound
Judgment, seek only to promote the highest
interests of the people and secure the ap-
proyal of an enlightened conscience.

He is usually, but not always, a graduate
of the printing Office, having passed through
the different degrees of devil, compositor,
pressman, foreman. job printer, &c. lfnot
a graduate, he has learned by attentive OBJ
servation to determine what constitutes
days work. to judge of a good piece Of
printing. to suggest changes and improve
ments in the typographical appearance OF
his paper. to cast rollers and preserve them
for business, to run his own press when ne

superintend the mechanical department Of

collects the items, writes them up, writes
leaders, when necessary (Which Is not very

attends to the correspondence, keeps the
books, does the soliciting and collecting,
pays all the bills. and takes all the cursings.
He goes through the community with his
eyes open, observing every change, every
improvement, and every opportunity for
improvement, mixing with all classes, talk
ing with all kinds Of people, and drawing
something from each of interest to his

insignia OF genteel leisure. Literature and
country newspapers should not be con-
founded One is brain and the other is
business Being the editor of such paper
gives one no right TO assume, and the people
do not presume, that he is distinguished for
scholarly finish or literary attachments. If
he happens to be a thorough scholar and
proioaud writer, it is an important ad-
ditlon - the business faculty on which
success depends. Talent is useful, but tact
is indispensable. The one is frequently
found begging, while the other is seldom

far in the business world to find talented

tact turns up his own opportunity. re-
moves obstacles, pushes his way along,
adapts himselfto men and circumstances,

A Yankee and his Dog Useless on
the Big Blue.

B. G, earned few hundreds as q
young market gardner on Cape
Ann. He then went West, bought
quarter section ON long credit in
Plymouth, a Congregational Colony
in Nebraska, on the Burlington u
Missouri River railroad.
Returning home he found the
farming tools and the household
furniture of himself and four other
settlers weighed six tons. He
chartered ten ton car for no more
than six tons of freight would cost.
He put on board Maine lumber,
bought one-t third cheaper than in his
future home; an old anvil that cost
him dollar, a blacksmith's bel
lows given him by an uncle, a stout
second hand buggy, ETC., etc. In
Iowa he bought horses and drove
his buggy from there.
Food and shelter he obtained at
q homesteader's while he broke
prairie and built his house.
Rigging his bellows and anvil in
a sod enclosure, he sharpened his
own plow shares and his neighbors',
thus saving time and making mon
ey. Many a clever fellow is no
blacksmith, but B. G. is both. Du-
ring last winter he visited the East
to procure various luXuries, and
above allla wife, with Whom he -Fe<
turned in March. His old ground
he sowed with wheat, and planted
the new with corn. All through
the drizzling May rains he kept on
plowing, declaring they helped the
horses more by softening the earth
than they hurt him. He already
has a grove Of trees and a kitchen
garden. He keeps dog to guard
his wife, but calls his name, Useless.
Such a typical Yankee-his sue
cess is as sure as q cats striking
on her feet, however you throw her.
Ten thousand such men enter Ne
braska every year. They are at
tracted thither because there the
free farms help them most to make
the most of themselves. They
would not failany where; but there
their chances are best.

NEAL, Congressman, from this
district, bolted the caucus nomina;
tion for Speaker of the House. He
recollected the rap given him by
the Vinton county sovereigns, and
did't desire to cast vote for a man
against whom there was even q sus-
picion of salary grabbery.-West
Union Defender.
That rap was just the making of
L. 7. It was given in the right
time too; but we do not know
whether LARRY will ever forgive us
for it, neither do we care. We had
just one more rap prepared for him
in case he went Gin" any further,
for salary grabbing but he appears
to be in favor of the repeal of the
salary steal.

In another part of this paper we
print q letter from w. II. LANGLEY,
President Of our railroad. 1t is
such letter as we are pleased to
read. The agreement between the
GallipoIis, Macarthur d Columbus
Railroad Company and the Vinton
Furnace Coal and Iron Company
and their lessees, BANCROFT & Son,
for $4,000, has been completed.
In that amount the q miles of
railroad now in use between Vinton
Furnace and Vinton Station is in
cluded. The money subscribed by
that company is to be expended in
the construction Of the line. south
of Vinton Furnace. President
LANGLEY has spent days, weeks and
months in this enterprise, and has,
at last, reached that point where all
uncertainties are at an end. He
means business, not only the busi-
ness Of building the cheapest rail
road on the American continent,
but to bring business to Macarthur.
We have only room to say; cncour-
age him in the good work; pay
your subscriptions; do not wait for
your neighbor to pay, but pay
yourself, because more than 100
men and teams will soon be at work
on the line.

WILL the Democratic editors who
have expressed such great delight
over the conviction of their late
"Boss," Tweed, who now occupies
a cell in the Penitentiary on Black
wells Island, inform their readers
why it was they reviled the New
York Times for its exposure Of
Tweed's corruptions? The Demo
crat press with one acclaim pro-
nounced the revelations of the
Times concerning the robberies Of
the great plunderer and his horde
of thieves as false and infamous,
and the outgrowth Of partizan NAL
ice. Their virtue comes Late
athens Messenger.
And while they are about it had
they not better also tell why they
elected Tweed to the State Senate
of New York by ten thou
sand majority after everybody adj
mited that he was q thief.-Jacb-
son STANDARD.
No one believes that the editor
Of the STANDARD is an ignoramus,
but he makes some terrible and
even stupid blunders sometimes.
Surely he knows that TWEED was
nominated for the State Senate in
1872 blythe GRANTEES and elected
by them. And a majority of the
members of that Senate. were
GRANTEES, and they admitted
TWEED to his seat, even "after
everybody admitted that he was a
thief" What would the admins
tration do without the tribe Of
thieves now in Officer The Stand
ard editor ought to brighten up
his memory a little andput on q bet
ter pair Of specs and he can see
many greater thieves than TWEED.
Perhaps it would be best for the
Athens Messenger to say as little
about thieves as possible during
this panic.
