The First Thousand Dollars.

The first thousand dollars that young
man after going out into the world for
himself earns and saves will generally
settle the question of business life with
him. There may be exceptions to this
statement; yet, for a rule, we think 1t
will hold true.
The first condition is that the young
man naturally earns the thousand dollars
in question. He does not inherit this
sum 1t does not come to MIN by a streak
of good luck, as the result of a fortunate
venture in the purchase and sale of a
hundred shares of stock. 1t is the fruit
Of personal industry He gives his time
ing and saving it, he must earn two or
three, or perhaps four, times as much to
pay his current expenses. He is conse-
quently held sternly to the task of indus
try for a considerable period. The di.
rect consequence to him is steady, con-
tinuous and solid discipline in the habits
OF industry-in patient, persistent, fore
casting and selfdenying effort, breaking
up all the tendencies to Incidence and
frivolity, and making him an earnest and
watchful economist of time. He not
only learns how to work, but he also
acquires the love of work; and, moreover,
he learns the value of the sum which he
has thus saved out of his earnings. He
has tolled for it; he has observed its slow
increase from time to time; and in his
estimate it represents SO many years of
practical labor. His ideas of life are
shaped by his own experience. These
natural effects of earning the first
thousand dollars we hold to be very large
benefits. They are just the qualities of
mind and body which are likely to Sc
cure business success in after years.
l.hey constitute the best practical educa-
llon which man can have as worker in
lhlS working world. They are gained in
season tor life's purposes, at the openin Q
PERIOD, just when they are wanted, when
ioollsh notions are most likely to mis-
lead an inexperienced brain, and when,
100 there is full opportunity for eX.
Panslon and development in latter years.
Men have but one life to live; and
Ience they start from opening manhood
out once. And the manner in which they
start, the purpose which they have in
view, and the habits they form will
ordinarily determine the entire sequel of
unelf career on earth. To succeed, men
81 have the elements of success with
IA u ;mselves. One great reason why
'here are so many useless, inefficient
anu poverty-stricken men on earth-or,
rather, hoys seeming to be men-con-
S,SIs IN the simple fact that they did not
START .ight. A prominent reason why
we children of the rich so frequently
amount 10 nothing may be found in lux
ui!' ease and Incidence which mark the
announcement of their lives 1t is the
"a" OF God that we should be workers
"a earth; and no one so well consults the
pes' development of this being as when

DIR. j. Walkers California Vim
egar Bitters arc a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the ma
tive herbs found on tho lower ranges OF
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor-
MIA, the medicinal properties of which
arc extracted thcrefrom without the use
of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked, "What is tho cause of tho
unparalleled success Of VINEGAR BIT
TERs" Our answer is, that they remove
the cause Of disease, and the patient re-
covers his health. They arc the great
blood purifier and life giving principle,
a perfect Renovation and lnvigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of tho world has a medicine been
compounded possessing tho remarkable
qualities of VINEGAR BITTERs in healing tho
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are gentle Purgativo as Wei as Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation OF
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of DIR. WALKERS
VINEGAR BIrTERs are Aperient, Daphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Duretic,
Sedative, Counter Irrtant, Sudorifc, Altera-
tive. and Anti Bilious.

TRY IT--A Tonic and Alternative medi-
cine, the invigorating and regulating
properties of which actually lengthen
life and add to the capacity for its enjoy
ment, is within the reach of every mem
Der of the community. No invalid who
has had recourse to DR.. WALKERS VINE
GAR BITrERs will hesitate to concede to
it these invaluable qualities 1t is a
stomachic and corrective OF unrivaled
efficacy, yet, being free from alcohol, it
is not an ercStant Its nti-bilious opera
ton is more direct, speedy and certain
than that of any of the dangerous min
eral salivants, and as an aperent it gen
tly removes any distractions that may
have accumulated in the lower intestine
without producing either irritation or
pain In fact its wonderful remedial
effects are unaccompanied bQ any drdcbdc6.
OF all medicines it is the most harmless
and salubrious. AS an appetizer 1t is far
ahead of any of the alcoholic nostrums
that momentarily stimulate the palate :;
while as a means of renovating weak
and torpid stomach it stands alone
among modern remedies.

VOLUME NIxr.

Til number of tho CHRONICLE COM
mences volume 8, and wc wish to say .
lew words 10 our subscribers and friends.
WHEN We took charge Of the once On
Jan. III, 1874, the future looked decidedly
blue. ,rhc country was still suffering
from the effects cf > great panic, which
Tor time threatened to undermine the
credit Of the government itself, while
here II home new papers were being
.,.rted and others talked OF in most
~eckless manner. The opposition party
was Just coming into power and many OF
our best friends were advising US to
change the politics Of our paper and thus
head off the starting Of new ones. We re-
fused to do this, holding our principles
worth more to US than our Office and tel.
ling our sdvisors that if we we're obliged
TO sell either we would let the Office 60.
We however, assumed control of the
office and instituted various changes in
It's management, put in first-class Job
office, and promised as soon as We receiv-
I'd sufficient encouragement to procure .
new dress for the paper and enlarge it.
When we bought the Office there were
only two newspapers in Tama County.
Shortly after, however, one was started
ct Chelsea, and on Jan'y LIST, the day we
took possession, new paper appeared At
Traer and one at Tama City. Under the
circumstances, we thought If we could
succeed in keeping one half of our sub
scribers we would do exceedingly we'll,
but We have not only kept all or nearly
all our old subscribers but have made
large gains in different parts OF the coun-
ty, until now our circulation is fully Is
per cent larger than at this time last year,
and is the largest list in the county.
This state of affairs is certainly very sat
isfactory to us, and shows that the peo-
pie endorse the course the CHRONICLE has
taken. While we have been enlarging
and improving the CHRONICLE it has been
done at u great deal of expense. Many of
our subscribers have thought of this and
have not only encouraged us by word but
have put their hands in their pockets and
paid up their back subscription and re-
newed for another year About this time
there are many subscriptions expiring
probably 500 all together. These small
amounts Of So 90 scattered around all over
the county are very small to each individ- /
ual, but if we had the subscription for
1875, together with what is past due on
many Of them, it would in the aggregate
amount to very respectable sum,-$l20O
to $500. We hope our friends will think
Of this and come in during the next few
weeks and square up all accounts and re-
new their subscriptions for 1875.
