election does not occur until November,

can safely say sufficient for the day is the
evil thereof" When we have elected TiIden
and Hendricks, and six Democrats to Con-
gress from Mississippi, we viii turn our
thoughts to the gnbernatOrial election.
We are confident that the foregoing
represents the opinions Of almost the
entire Democratic party. The people
have no taste for the discussion of the
gnbernatorial canvass pending the Presi-
dental election.

DEATH OF AN OLD PRINTER.-John
Miller of Columbus, Ohio, departed this
life, Tuesday morning of last week, aged
IA years. He was considered the oldest
printer in Columbus, and there were but
few in the State who were his senior in
the nrofesrion.
Mr. Miller was in early life resident
of Somerset, IN this State, to which
place he came when but a boy. from
Frankfort, Kentucky. He afterwards
learned the printing business, and en-
gagged in 1880. or thereabouts, to publish
the peoples Advocate, at Somerset. AZ
ter laboring a few years at the business
he removed TO the country, where he re-
sided number of years, and subsequent
ly went to Mt. Vernon, and labored at
his profession there for some years. He
afterwards moved to Columbus, where
after few years more service in the Of
fees there, he succombed 10 the certain
fate awaiting every living being. He
was a master workman, as we can testify
from services rendered us in the way Of
Office labor thirty-four years ago. Though
not without his faults, he had many
sterling qualities, which we heartily
wish all those who are in the habit of
putting the value of their social and
moral worth upon themselves, had, to
the same extent that this old pioneer in
the art of all arts had. May he rest in
peace, and at the last day, when the call
shall be made for the coming forth and
readjustment of man to his perfect con-
dition. may his "proof" be counted wor-
thy to enable him to enter into the ce-
lestial city.

A good while ago, the Tribune pre-
empted, and has ever since occupied, to
the exclusion Of other papera.-and. it
must be admitted, greatly TO its own ad-
vantage,-the "Reminiscences" field. It's
opera tions from that standpoint gave it
considerable prestige over the other pa
pers Of the county; but, unfortunately,
there wasn't enough timber on the
premises with which to keep up the
Reminiscence steam to anything like a
standard of regularity, and it gradually
fell into disrepute, and came to be re-
garded as an unreliable producer of the
intellectual spice largely in demand
amongst local consumers. The Herald
was quick to discover that the Tribune's
struggles for supremacy in the affections
Of the multitude was waning, SO it
Adroitly set about supplanting that
journal by writing up she history of
each separate and distinct" individual
born in this county, and who has since
moved to other parts, and distinguished
himself; and, from the appearance it
bears in perspective. and to one afar off,
it would seem that il is occulting the
Tribune effsctually. The Herald has
exhibited a high order of sagacity in
thus playing upon an unusually popular
chord; and as each individual is en-
balmed in history by its process it is
presumed he will become a perpetual
advance-paying subscriber, and will also
use his influence to persuade his neigh
bors to join the distinguished throng.

Profits Of Land,

Boys, the world is wide. An old Vir-
ginian willed his son the whole State in
which to make an honest living, with
liberty to go elsewhere if he could do
better. II you wish TO be somebody,
pitch in" EfFort-efort, is the price
of success. If you fail once try again.
If you fall down,-get up. II you feel
you are in the shade move around to the
sunny side. Deserve success and it will
come.
You notice one man gets money and
he squanders it,-another has land and
he does not know what to do with it.
Both need wisdom.
i knew a man who had farm Of 25
acres. He lived on it and prospered m
til age and his profits admonished him
to sell and rest from his toll. He kept
two horses, seven cows and six sheep.
He fed pigs on skinned milk. knew
80 tons of hay to 20 into NOW in one
year. On one acre % bushels of wheat
were harvested. A few acres of corn
yielded 100 bushels to the acre, and 80
bushels of oats and the same of potatoes.
For 90 years he bought no oHour,-bought
nothing but groceries and clothing and
paid his taxes. The butter from his
cows, the wool from his sheep, and oc-
casionallv the sale of q few pigs, poul-
try and eggs more than met all cash de-
mands. He alao sold some fruit, and
when his PASTURE was scsnf he moved
clover and fed to his cows in stall. One
acre of such clover as grew there would
go farther by moving than acres in
pasture. His life, his example, his sue
cess and his economy gave him faith in
his occupation. In good or bad times
he stuck to his farm. There were no
gaudy temptations of gain, or profit, or
speedy wealth that could lure him from
his s,eadfast hold upon what he knew
would fail not. Boys, have sketched
in few brief sentences the life of
man such as you should be proud to
initiate. He had no trade but farming.
How we'll he succeeded. his success bears
proof He did not slight his work He
learned his trade we'll. Have faith in
farming, if this be your trade. fit be
not. then have faith in yourselfand your
ability to do something and be some
body. Don't wait for 100 acres il you
can buy ten. These ten can be sold and
20 can be bought. Keep on. Don't
grow weary of slow progress. A man
with $1,000 in cash may get $100sper
year for its USE If this 81 900 were in
vested in land, wisely and industriously
titled, it would yield three times as
much and no danger of loss, while the
increase in value would equal an honest
per cent of profit and a good living to
boot. By all means, boys, ''get married
and go in debt for farm" Any one
can buy il he sell again, hut would
have you buy and be skillful enough
to keep afterwards. The tendency of all
land ia upwards in the long run. Buy
at the right price and you are safe, even
though you may not reach the back pay
ments, for the right price is that you
can command when you are ready to
sell. Therefore if you get married and
go in debt for farm you have no risks
| beyond the pale Of safety. Go In.

Mr.. A. r. Yost. of this place, has
just returned from Washington City,
where he has been on a mission to secure
letters patent on a novel device of his
own invention for the oiling of the
wheels of wagons and buggies without
removing them from the axle-tree, and
al+o for the oiling of journals of ma
chinery. He informs us that an exam
ination of the models of this nature st
the Patent Office. revealed the fact that
among the many there deposited. there
was but one that in anywise bore a re-
semblance to his own, and this one diff
fered materially in several particulars
from his and did not, therefore,
stand as a barrier to his procurement of
a patent. In due time, he hopes to re-
ceiye his letters patent, when, we trust,
he may speedily reap respectable re-
ward for his genius. The model of this
device we have seen; and in our opin-
ion it presents manifest advantages over
all other methods in vogue for the pur-
pose. 1t is extremely simple in con-
strnction, neat in appearance, and will
require comparatively little attention.
That it will meet with a favorable re-
cepiion from the public, we entertain
no doubt.

"Rue, Thyme and MYRTLE"

This is the title of beautifully print
ed and nicely hound volume of poems.
just issued from the we'll known pub
liahing house of Lippincott & Co., of
Philadelphia. The author of these
poems is our young townsman, Mr..
Charles E. Spencer, son of Col. William
Spencer. and il known 10 all the citi-
zens OF this place as a quiet. unassum-
ing, deferential young man. He has
not yet attained his majority, and the
most Of the poems in the volume were
written several years ago, and with no
design of having them appear in book
form, or indeed in any other shape as an
offering to the public. AS it is. the
young author does not now present them
TO the public without nisgivings as to
the reception they may receive but we
feel assured, from a careful perusal of
the volume, that the criticism which
he naturally fears. will only be Of a ma
ture calculated to prompt him to still
further effort in the same direction.
The poems are all meritorious, and ma
ny of them exhibit a high order of po-
etic talent, which, it is fair to presume.
will grow and develope with increasing
years. The object of this mention is
not one of studied criticism of the little
volume before us, but merely to call at
tention TO its existence, and to the fact
that it is on sale at several places in this
village, so that the reader may see for
himself what a really admirable poetic
al work a wholly unpretentious native
village boy, with no education save that
which he acquired at home and through
his own comparatively unaided efforts,
can produce.
