ADVANCE PAYMENT.

The credit system in the newspaper
business scatters small sums of money
aggregating q large amount to each
publisher, over a vast extent of county
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
Maid for in advance than when the pro-
prietors are pressed for money to meet
the daily demands made upon them.
There is little doubt that law OF
Congress will, in q 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
mer, agree to adopt the pay-in-advance
system, to send no papers from their
respective offices from and after the
FIRST DAY OF JULY NEXT,
unless the same be paid for in advance.

ApDreeiatiOn Of Music.

There is no essential difference in the
organs of hearing. Our ears are all
made after one pattern, and one is as
complete as another. We're 1t not SO,
we could not all learn to talk. Unless
the ear has been injured or one is born
a mute, every human being acquires the
gift of speech. Universal as that fac
ulty is admitted to be, only few of the
many have refined pleasure in music.
Some do not appreciate it at all Now
this circumstance does not depend on
the ear at all, but on the brain. The
ear is receiving and distributing in
strument, and passive. By it sonorous
rays of waves of sound are propagated
outwardly to the brain, where all i'm
pressions center. There the soul takes
cognizance of what is instrumentality
of fine special organs of sense, viz. {:
the eye, ear, tongue, the nose and senti-
ent nerves or feeling. Our brains are
not alike. Otherwise, in structure and
in the use of our mental powers, we
are precisely alike; but one brain is su-
perior to another. One is developed in
one way, and our next neighbor has a
genius far superior in some direction.
Phrenologists have the argument, and
are masters of the situation in mental
philosophy.

A curious but amicable con
roversy is going on in the Eu-
taw Place Baptist Church, Bal
timore. The church unanimous
ly resolved to increase the sala-
ry of its pastor; the pastor de-
MED the generous offer; the
church insisted on his accepting
it; and at last accounts the con-
trOversy was still unsettled.
A touching incident has come
to light in connection with the
martyrdom of the English mis-
sionary, Gordon, in the New He
brides. Just before he was kill
ed by native, he had been at
work on the translation of the
Acts of the Apostles, and the last
portion he went over was the
chapter on the stoning of Stephen
Successful farming is made by
attending to little things. The
farmer who does his best, earns
his money with best appreciation
and uses it with best results.
Such men are the salt of the
earth.

Puzzle.

There were fifteen travellers who
stopped at a public house, and called
for a dinner. 1t was served up and
placed upon three-cornered table, five
sitting on each side. They invited the
landlord to dine with them. After they
had finished their meal, they proposed
to count, commencing at some one, and
count five, and whoever counted five
was to leave the table, or in other
other words, every fifth man step out {.
They further agreed that the last man
left was to pay the bill. They so count
ed as to have it fall upon the landlord.
Now what seat did the man occupy who
started the count?

ANARCHY IN BARCELONA.

At Barcelona a movement sim
liar to that in progress, but not
with the same success. The Mon
archists resigned, but several
Republicans declined to take
their places in the Municipal
Council. The people refuse to
pay Octroi duties, and goods en-
ter the city free. The regular
troops occupy strong places and
strategic points, and a British
squadron is anchored off the
shore. The inhabitants are lay
ing in a store of provision, fear
ing trouble. Large crowds sur
rounded certain houses, which
refused to illuminate, and threat

To FaSten q Horse.

When there is no hitching post handy
a horse may be safely tied in the fol-
lowing manner, namely: Take the
reins and pass them round underneath
the hub outside of the wheel, and give
them hitch on to one of the spokes.
If the horse start the reins are drawn
up, instantly checking him and as soon
as he commences to back they are as in
stantly loosened. If in addition to this
when there are a pair of horses one OF
the traces are loosened the team will
seldom move far enough forward to
start the wagon without being checked
by the bits. No. team, however, should
be left without tying, if it can possibly
be avoided.

The Kar They Do II.

When a woman has hen to drive
into the coop she takes hold of her
hoops with both hands, shakes them
quietly toward the delinquent, and
says, "Shew, there" The hen takes
one look at the object to convince her
self that it's woman, and then stalks
majesucally into the coop in perfect
disgust of the sex. A man. don't do
that way. He goes out doors and says,
'tit is singular nobody in this house can
drive hen but myself, and picking up
a stick of wood hurls it at the offending
biped, and observes: sect in there,
you thief" The hen Immediately loses
her reason, and dashes to the opposite
end of the yard. The man straightway
dashes after her. She comes back again
with her head down, her wings out,
and followed by an assortment of stove
wood, fruit cans and coal clinkers, with
much putting and very mad man in
the rear. Then she skins up on the
stoop, and under the barn, and over a
fence or two, and around the house, and
back again to the coop, all the while
talking as only an excited hen can talk,
and all the while followed by things
convenient for handling, and by man
whose coat is on the sawbuck and whose
hat is on the ground, and whose per-
spiration and profanity appear to have
no limit. By this time the other hens
have come out to take hand in the de-
bate, and help dodge the missiles-and
then the man says every hen on the
place shall be sold in the morning, and
puts on his things and goes down street
and the woman dons her hoops and has
every one of those hens housed and
the only sound heard on the premises
is the hammering by the Oldest boy as
he mends the broken pickets.

The Lutheran Festival.

The ladies of the English Lutheran
Church held their first Festival in
Town Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings of last week. They were lib
orally patronized, and cleared about
$50, we are told. This was doing very
well taking into consideration that they
had no articles for sale. The supper
and oysters were gotten up in the very
best of style. Everybody was well
pleased.

An Ounce of Prevention.

The news comes to us that the Cere-
bro-Spinal Meningitis is raging as al
epidemic in Indiana. As physicians
have about given up curing the disease
when once under way, it would be wise
for the authorities of our town to turn
their attention to the filthy condition o.
the streets and alleys, the loose garbage
and choked cutters, that with the spring
sunshine, have tendency to breed such
pestilence. Last springs experience
may lead us to look for temperance
of this disease in our midst, and it would
be well to take speedy steps toward pre-.
venting an epidemic on account of the
large amount of infectant debris on the
surface Of the ground that the winter
has left us.

Smiles.

What sunshine is to flowers smiles are
to humanity. They are but trifles, to
be sure; but, scattered along life's
pathway, the good they do is incon-
ceivable. A smile accompanied by a
kind word has been known to reclaim a
poor outcast, and change the whole ca
reer of human life. Of all life's bless
ings none are cheaper or more easily
dispensed than smiles. Let us not, then,
be too chary of them, but scatter them
freely as we 60; for life is too short to
be frowned away.

cal Discovery in my practice and in
time have tested its merits in severe
coughs, both acute and chronic, in
chronic diseases of the throat, severe
cases of bronchitis, general derange-

healthy action throughout the system.

That the Professor was in his happiest
