Easily Accounted For.

A few evenings since we heard sever
al merchants denouncing our people for
buying clocks and stoves from strangers
in preference to buying from them on
much better terms. Now, We don't
pretend to say which party sells the
cheaper, but we do know precisely why
the strangers are patronized in prefer
ence to them. 1t is this: The first
thing the strangers did when they came
here was to put big advertisement in
the Republican, containing certificates
of those who had bought from them rs
to the superiority Of their clocks. The
people read the certificates, and imme-
diately made purchases. The mer-
chants bring clocks, stoves, and goods
of all xinds here for sale, but they
stick them away in garret, and refuse
to pay the paper that keeps up their
town few dollars to let the people
know that they have them for sale.
Look over our columns and see if you
can find clock or stove advertised in
the town of Brandon. Our town is los
ing trade every year, because so many
of our merchants make no effort to re-
tain it. -Brdndon Republican.

How to Form q Library,

The Home and School says: "In
a Southern town where ! recently spent
some time, was very much struck by
q most excellent organisation, which L
would recommend TO all those who have
large desires for books and small means
for their indulgence. A party OF ladies,
not over twenty in number, all fond OF
reading and all too much impoverished
by the war to be able to crafty their
taste to any extent, formed themselves
into club, subscription fee about five
dollars, with twenty members. This
gives them during the year. hundred
dollars worth of reading matter. The
books are bought by committee, but
each member has the right of suggest
ing a book. In the three or four years
of the existence of the club they have
collected quite respectable library,
and the collection is varied, ranging
from the Stories of Venice and
Chips from German Workshop to
the last sensational novel"

Eat Men EeaSting.

The New York Fat Mems Assocla-
ton" had it's annual gormandizing Of
clans last Thursday. The heated terms
or some other melting mood diminished
the adipose avoirdupois of the assocla-
ton. and none of the members turned
the scales at the ancient figures of four
hundred pounds, the heaviest weight
reaching but three hundred and ninety
two pounds and the lowest two hundred
and one. There were present eighty
two of the fat men, and their destruc-
ton of edibles is summed up thus;
Fifty-five bushels round clans, eighteen
bushels long clans, thirty-fve bushels
oysters, four barrels Holsters, three
barrels blue fish, eight barrels Irish po~
tatoea, four barrels sweet potatoes,
eighty-fve chickens, forty'five ducks
and one thousand ears of corn. After
which performance some of them dane
ed iigs.

BasSie aud Elizabeth.

Bessie Turner is living in our neigh
borhood. Her financial condition is
not affiuent. Her $40, which she is
said to have received at the trial, did
not go far. The books that were pub
lished in her name were written for her
by friend, and she received $1,000 on
the two. She has not been successful IN
her efforts to get employment, and claims
to be in necessitous circumstances. She
has talent enough for teacher or gov
erness, but her services are not III de-
mand. She borrowed few dollars tie
other day of personal friend, stating
that she was actually in need. She has
had one or two places, but remained on
" a short time. Mrs. Tilton resides in II
quiet way in Brooklyn with her mother.
