Persons who patronize papers
should pay promptly, for the pecuni-
airy prospects of the press have pecu-
liar power in pushing forward public
prosperity. If the printer is paid
promptly, and his pocket-book is
kept plethoric by prompt paying pat
rons, he puts his pen to paper in
peace he paints his pictures ofpass-
ing events in more pleasant %colors,
and the perusal o fhis paper is gilmore
pleasure to his people. Paste this
piece of proverbial philosophy in
some place where all persons camper
ceiVe it. Be pleased, also, to ponder
it thyself patiently and persevoringly
and profitably, and persistently prac-
tice its precepts perpetually.

Nothing presents a sadder common
tary upon the present condition Of So
ciety than the large number of fami-
lies, both in town and in the country,
but more especially in the latter, that
subscribe to no paper of any kind.
Hundreds and thousands of families
are thus growing up, utterly ignorant
Of what is transporting in the world
around them-ignorant of the mighty
events of the day. But who can tell
the vast amount of injury that is be-
ing inflicted on the rising generation
who are to take our place in
the busy world at, no distant day
growing up without any knowledge
of the present or any study of the
past, this Ignorance, too, being i'm
bued into them by the sanction of
those who should, and doubtless do,
know better, did they think of the in
jurous effects of their insane course.
Let the head of every family think of
this, and place in the hands of those
for whom he is responsible, the
means of acquiring some knowledge
of the moving panorama i'll which we
act our different parts.

The startling Intelligence of The
death of young MARTIN E. FISHER,
near Jacksonville, Fla, from that ter
rible scourge Yellow Fever, was re-
ceived by his father here in Eaton on
Wednesday night of last week. The
wife and daughter of Mr.. Eli Fisher
have been spending some months in
Florida, near Jacksonville, for the
benefit Of impaired health, and Mar
tin, after completing his education
in the Eaton Union Schools and grad
uating with honor and credit, left q
few weeks ago in the flush of youth
to visit them, and now he is dead
And thus in a few days, passed away
q young man whose future was bright
with the promise of life and happi-
ness, and the household of which he
was an ornament, is left in darkness
and gloom to mourn the loss of no
bic youth, a generous friend, an affec-
Tomato brother and a dutiful son, cut
down at the early sge of seventeen!
So young! and gone! Alas! and an
other friend and acquaintance has
passed away, another little ripple in
the great sea of life, and the wave
rolls on; the funeral procession is
over, the surprise and shock of the
announcement has passed, and the
busy world moves along just the
same as when u young friend was
amOnU us-
