can have no charms for them unless
it can be mystitied under . strange
personality, and in buying a copy
they proceed upon,the same grounds
as in the purchase of a bar Of soap
they would rather have one that
comes from the city, because it must
necessarily be so much better in every
sense than a home production. The
same man would laugh at you if you
should refuse to patTOnize the cross

had rather get your flour from the

Of the most important attributes Of
every town in the United States.
| When Il colony settles anywhere with
the intention Of building village,
! the first thought is newspaper; the
press is thus in the very vanguard of
civilization. It is the useful agent in
every place Of progress and growth.
There is not another single power
that can do SO much good, patient
work in the way Of building up as the
local newspaper. 1t is not altogether
important how it is edited, whether
with ability OF not, SO that it be con-
Quoted with an industry and enter
prise at least side by side with the
town-if it can afford to keep a few
years in advance it is all the better.
A country paper that had little else
than advertisements would be in i'm
mense help to any place, for adver-
tisements constitute most reliable
index to the character, size, business
and general condition of the town.
To the stranger who may have looked
in Il prospective way upon place,
the advertisements are the invaluable
part of the papers that have been sent
him. Without a newspaper, with its
local news and business announce
ments, what would the average Amer
lean city or village lie? 1t would
surely be unknown of it's neighbors.
The country weeklies ought to be
the best supported newspapers Of the
whole land, for they contain news and
gossip that can not he found in any
Of the city lailies. The farmer can
learn from his local paper-if he PEE
fers to take it instead of some more
expensive publication---llow much his
neighbours sixty-acre farm sold for,
how the schools are prospecting, the
price Of butter and eggs ut the village
market, and what improvements are
in progress through the section in
which he lives. He can get none Of
this in the city paper, and lie can not
be thoroughly useful citizen without
sncl, items of light information. 1t is
not always that the best towns sup
port the best newspapers, but it is
strictly a fact that no place over gets
the credit Of being thrifty or enter
prising until it can send out a first
class paper, and that always depends
more upon the people than the editor.

It is reported that T. L. Morgan

and sentenced to hard labor in the
penitentiary for the term OF ten years
died the other day near New Carthage
Morgan had killed an old color+d man
at Milliken's Bend, without the least
excuse or palliation, and yet the jury,
composed entirely OF colored men,
found him guilty of manslau gbtei
only. They thought the killing was
done without malice in the frenzy OF
drunken passion, and hence their YER

with them, and was regarded by all
as kind-hearted, good man. He had
been soldier in the Union army, had
reached the rank Of captain t. Gen.
Frank Blair's division, though, hardly
more than a 10y when the war closed,
The act for which he suffered was
committed while under the influence
of mean wl'iskcy, and upon the per-
sou of one OF his best friends.
But we did not sit down to write
Morgans eulogy or to justify the hon.
