but not enough yet to put the Asso,
citation out Of debt. Several hun
dred dollars more in shares ought to

in the county but what can take one
or more shares of stock, and they
ought to have pride enough to do SO.
1t is the boast of our people that our
annual exhibitions are the best Civ.
en- anywhere in the State, and now
we should strive to make the one to
be held this Fall much better and
grander than those of any previous
years. Let every man do his duty
toward the Association, put it out Of
debt, and then better and higher
premiums will be offered in all class

Sunday morning we saw a party,
consisting of the mother and herf four
children, two girls and two boys pass
ing through the town towards the
Kanawha river, said to borun aways
from the county poor house. We
were told that the same party has
been taken of the poor house twice at
the expense to the people, the last
time only week or two ago and we
think it high time that the Board OF
0verseers Of the poor were adopting
such rules as would prevent so fire.
quent repetition of this running
away from the poor house, and only
to have the partios,taken back at a
heavy expense to the county.
We called attention few weeks
ago to our Gallipolis mail arrange
mcnt, by which we did not receive
our Saturday nights mail until Mon
day morning, when we should have
it on Sunday morning. There is no
necessity of the mail carrier coming
here on Monday, because no mail is
received from Saturday night until
Monday night at Gallipolis. He
ought, however, come hero on Sun.
day morning, so that we might
have the benefit Of our Saturday Gin
cinnati mail. If this matter is prop
crly placed before the Department,
no doubt the change We ask for will
be made.

Our people are to be congratulated
on having live, energetic and gencr-
Gus merchants-a few at least. They
seem determined to keep trade at
home and offer great inducements to
purchasers. By advertising either
in the paper or by hand bills they
proclaim that they will sell goods Of
any kind as chcaply as they can be
purchased in Gallipolis or elsewhere,
and the purchaser does not find, upon
calling upon them, that they have
misrcprcsented in the least. Our
readers can rest assured that business
men who show by their works that
they have faith in printers ink, that
they are dealing with large-heartcd
generous men, who believe in living
and let live. Hence we repeat, don't
go away from home for anything, but
buy at home and save money.
An exchange remarks: Persons
who patronizo papers should pay
promptly, forthc pecuniary prospects
of the press have peculiar power in
pushing forward public prosperity.
