Kill Yer Town.
Buy as little at home as possible. If
you want new dress for your wife,
clothing for your children or groceries for
your family send to one of the Eastern
cities for them. They may cost you nearly
as much as at home, hut then you have
the satisfaction of letting your local mer-
chant know that your family is not de-
pendent upon him. Do not be satisfied
with sending for goods for your own use
but endeavor to induce others to send off
for what they need. You will become
popular with the business men of Phila
delphia, Baltim ore and other cities, besides
1t is the duty of the town or community
to support you. Inform every stranger
that your town is finished, that there is no
life in the people, no enterprise, no energy
and no disposition to encourage strangers.
If you have new business cry it down,
tell every one that prices are higher in
your town than elsewhere That a failure
is probable. That the earnings will not
pay for the investment. Act as special
agent for introducing the manufactures of
other towns into yours even it you re-
ceive no commission. Oppose bitterly
every effoit for the general improvement
of your place. Never contribute of yoDr
private means for such purposes and op-
pose all appropriations upon the part OF
the town authorities. 1t is better to wade
through maud than expend few dollars for
good pavements, better abandon the front
rooms of your houses during the summer
than plant shade trees which would make
the town attractive. If your council at
tempt to spend money for public i'm
provements, abuse them as extrayagant
and vote for those who have higher ap-
probation of the peoples money.
Never advertise your business. There
arc several serious objections to adver-
1 Using. People would visit your town in
quest of articles who now buy them in
| other places, and if you can do small
business without advertising, why spend
| money to increase your business Besides
printers obtain their living by advertising
other peoples business and there is no
reason why you should encourage pr:n-
tiers even if they do buy everything, which
they need in your line of business, ofyou.
1t is much better to pair. your advertise
ments on fences, There is economy in adj
vertising in this way.

A Fortunate Name.

q 5 VStu0duo &d&nos
A ninety-nine years lease of 22O acres OF
land in Baltimore has just lapsed, and the
Chilcotes are the owners of the fee, while
there is every prospect of their getting
$50, 900 in England. The Baltimore
property is said to be worth $4,000, 900. A
family of Chilcotes reside in this county
who are able to trace their ancestry direct-
ly back to the Baltimore family. Some OF
the same family reside in West Virginia.
Mr.. Watkins James, of this place has been
investigating the subject for Mr.. Chilcote
and is of the opinion that there will be
little difficulty in establishing their claim
to the title. The amount is SO large that
however many heirs there may be, all will
receive handsome amount.

Convention is worthy one, and de-
mapds some prompt and effective action.
The terrible results OF the floods OF 1873
are still apparent in many places along
the river, and many Of the residents in
the country liable to overflow are yet
suffering from the effects of that terrible
Finundation. Fortunately the floods OF
this year did not result in serious dam
age, but had they been trifle greater
the result would have been immeasura-
bly, worse. The agriculturists of the
region under consideration depend al
most entirely upon single GLASS of
productions, and that one Of a nature
readily injured and destroyed by even a
slight overflow. With the certainty Of
frequent occurrences Of this kind, and a
like certainty as to its disastrous effects,
the need for aid to this large region Of
country becomes especially apparent.
No section OF country in the United
States contributes SO largely to our
foreign commerce, and no branch of
agriculture is more important than
that which brings the money Of other
countries into the hands of the pro-
ducers in this. Cotton is still king as
regarded from this standpoint. and the
region which produces it should be the
subject Of attention and care.

Common Sense Ventilation.

Colonel G. e. Waring, jr., writes In
the October Atlantic as follows:
The best practical statement l have
met about ventilation was contained in
the remark OF mining engineer in
Pennsylvania: "Air is like rope; you
can pull it better than you can push it,
All mechanical appliances for pushing
air into q room or o house are dlsap-
pointing. What we need to do is TO
pull out the vitiated air already in the
room; the fresh supply will take care Of
itselfit means for its admission are pro-
vided.
1t has. been usual to withdraw the air
through openings near the ceiling, that
is, to carry of the warmer and therefore
lighter portions, leaving the colder strata
at the bottom of The room, with their
gradual accumulation OF cooled car
bon acid undisturbed. Much the bet
ter plan would be to draw this lower air
out from point near the floor, allowing
the upper and warmer portions TO de-
scend and take Its place.
An open fire, with large chimney
throat, is the best ventllator for any
room, the one-half or two-thirds of the
heat carried up the chimney is the price
paid for immunity from disease; and
large though this seems from its daily
draft on the wood-pile or the coal-bin, it
is trifling when compared with DOCTORS
bills and with the loss OF strength and
efficiency that Invariably result from liy-
ing in unventilated apartments.

THE Baltimore News states the posi-
lions Of the two political parties ofPenn-
sylvania on the currency question as fol-
lows: "Both parties have declared in
their platforms for more paper money for
the purpose of capturing the vote OF the
State. The Democrats are committed to
1t by their platform; the Republicans by
platform, policy and long practice. That
is in the western part Of the State. In
the east both parties claim to be in favor
of hard money, and each point to the ar
guments Of some representative orator
to attest their devotion to specie pay.
ments.' Wherever the cry is popular
both parties are bowling for more
money and where specie payments
would work probably both are for 'hard
money!"

A SENTENCE from the report Of Prof.
Wilbur, who recently made geological
survey of Missouri, Is strikingly sugges-
tive as to the future OF the mining and
manufacturing wealth of this country.
He says. "Some OF us doubtless envy
California her golden destiny, but our CO.
built, and zinc, ana lead, and iron, and
ceal and soil are better foundation for
national wealth and greatness than her
golden sands" While this is true of
Missouri 1t is equally SO OF many of the
other States of the Union, and especial
ly in the South. That region which, be-
fore the war, had become the most
wealthy part Of the country by agricul-
ture, is now finding that a greater oppor-
tunity is offered for money making, and
for the development of the country
through the mines heretofore undevel-
eped, and in addition to furnishing the
world with cotton will also supply man.
ufacturers and consumers, both in this
country and abroad, with metals and
manufactures in unlimited quantities,
to the great advantage not only Of the
South alone, but of the whole country.
