The lumber business will be one Of the staple
trades of this country for all time to come.
The scarcity and inferiority of the native
woods makes 1t necessary to patronize the
pineries Of the north, and it is astonishing how
cheap all grades of pine are laid down at our
doors. Lumber sells at Wichita for prices only
ten per cent. in advance of those demanded in
Central Illinois. II comes through COMPETE

tons, heavy amounts of capital are invested

AWORD TO TRAVELLERS We have word
to say in favor of the Missouri Pacific railroad.
II was the pioneer line westward and is the
''old reliable route to st. Louis. With the
improvements which have been made during
the past year, we believe that the Missouri Pa
ctc railroad has the best track and the finest
aud safest equipment of any line west Of the
Mississippi. II is the only line which runs
three daily express trains Of fine coaches and
Pullman sleepers, equipped with the Miller
platform and patent AIR brake, from the lead
ing points in the west, through Kansas City,
Sedaia and jefferson City without change,
connecting at st. Louis with eleven different
through routes to points north, east and south.

bles, etc. may be had at the various Through

The Postal Law.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore San, furnishes the following IN
formation in relation to the Postal Law
which lately passed Congress:
ssHundreds of letters are being received
here daily, containing inquiries as to the
notifications of the postal laws made at
the last session. Many people are OF the
impression that the reduction OF letter
postage to two cents was passed by both
Houses. A great deal of uncertainty ex-
lists also amongst people in the country
subscribers to newspapers, as to whether the
provisions requiring prepayment OF news
paper postage at the office of publication
finally became law. A widespread i'm
preston prevails that such is the case. This
is erroneous. AS has already been stated
the provision prohibiting the transmission
of any free matter whatever after June next
was put in the postofice appropriation bill
and is now law But the proposed re-
duction- of letter postage failed to receive
the approval of the Senate, and the rate re-
mains at three cents for single letters. The
provision requiring the prepayment OF
postage on newspapers at the place OF pub
location was finally also lost, and the pres
emit regulations in this respect therefore re,
main in force.o

Died, at the residence of Mr.. THOMAS D. SNIP
SON, near New burg, in this county, on the morn
ing of the 9th inst, JAMES P. SMITH, aged
% years, months and % days.
The deceased was noted for his gentle, affa-
BILE manners his truthfulness and fearless in
tegrity. He was highly esteemed by all~who
knew him. During the latter part of his sick
ness he was devoted to his Bible, portion of
which he read daily. He said, 81 do not fear
death, know am passing away" and short
time before he expired he called to his beloved
brother and said, ''brother ] hope we shall
meet in better world than this" and soon af-
ter he fell aSleep-the long sleep of death.
The simeon blast of death has passed,
The much beloved young man is low,
And the hearts that beat with hope and joy,
Are crushed beneath the blow.
Our dear young friend is now no more,
He lies in his narrow tomb,
And many a throb of heartfelt woe
Is caused by his early doom.
His torturing pains have passed away,
His requiem-''Dust to dust''-
But the spirit that breathed so sweetly there,
Is numbered with the just.
Then wherefore mourn, tho the form we love
Must be of the valleys clod;
Twas God who gave and taketh away,
And, "rhy will be done, oh God W.
