Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt,
the railroad king died at 9:15 a. m, Jan. l.
He remained perfectly conscious to the last,
and died almost without struggle. For sew
eral days it had appeared that his illness had
brought him very near to his end, and his
friends were hourly expecting the news OF
his demise. He died with his family around
lis bedside, and before the last moment ar
rived Dr. Deems prayed by his bedside and
his family chanted hymns in subdued tones,
which seemed to calm him greatly. The news
OF his death had little effect upon the stock
markets, although he was owner o. over $50, !

Book, az will be seen by his advertisement in

that every property holder may not UNDER
stand. It contains an abstract or history OF
the title to every piece of land in Grant
county. By such an abstract one can see
when and by whom his land was entered; how
many times it has changed hands; how many
judgements or mortgages have been made
against it etc. In word he can tell just how
good his title is, or if he thinks of purchasing
other lands. he can tell by such an abstract
whether or not it is safe to make the pur-
chase. Every man should have an abstract o.
the title to his own land. Mr. Schreiner has
proved himself an Industrious, conscientious
and competent business man, and we are glad
the office, in going out OF MT DUCK i"l'ue
has fallen into his.

Home Reading

A lady writing from Chicago says !:
81 read every article and item in
the HERALD and find them very en-
| joyable. There is no more useful or
reliable paper than well EDITED coun-
try newspaper. Our city dsilies have
so much that is trash, one cannot sift
out the few grains of wheat so as to
get much good from it." This lady
is. herself, an excellent magazine
writer. and will OCCASIONALLY con-
tribute to the columns of the HERALD.
What she says of city papers is obyi.
Gus to the intelligent reader. City
papers are filled with trifling stories,
with advertisements Of humbugs that
call FOR silly peoples money, and with
yillainous sensations and scandals.
The effect of continuous reading of
them is TO make the mind weak. Those
who banker after such stuff lose the
power of Judging clearly between
right and wrong, and cannot tell q
spurious article from a genuine. Like
the city papers are those that are
printed half or two-thirds in the city.
They satisfy silly people, but the city
sides of them are never looked at by
the business and intelligent readers.
You can get them at all prices from
so cents to So, and one is just as
cheap as the other to those who pay
for them. If the fool did. not give
his money for them he would for
some other fool thing. If he gets the
so cent paper he bankers after the
fool things he finds advertised in it,
until before the end of the year his
remaining $3.50 will b gone any how
We reflect with pleasure upon the fact
that Grant County has SO large pro
portion of the solid, sensible kind OF
people, who read good, solid country
papers like the GRANT COUNTY
HERALD, all edited and printed at
home.
