A Book EVeryb body Needs.

We have before US a copy of Rid
paths History of the United States,
illustrated. From casual observance
of the work, We would pronounce il
excellent, and just such history of
our country as should circulate uni
versally among farmers and others
who have not time to devote to the
reading and study of more complex
matter. The reason for this opinion
is partially given in the following in
troductory remarks by the author:
"To every American citizen some
knowledge of the history of his coun-
try is indispensable. The attainment
OF that knowledge ought to be made
easy and delightful. This book is in
tended for the average American for
the man of business who has neither
time nor disposition to plod through
ten or twenty volumes of elaborate
historical dissertation for the practi-
cal man of the shop. the counter, and
the pillow. The work is dedicated to
the household and library of the poor.
1t is inscribed to the father, the moth
er. the son, and the daughter of the
American family"
This history is Splendid adapted
to the needs of the classes indicated
by the author. 1t is elaborately Illus
trsted with maps, charts. portraits
and diagrams, and contains 69l pages
printed in clear, bold type.

his success will be commensurate with

A Good Thing.

Mr.. S. s. Hughes, civil engineer
and surveyor of Atchison county,
Missouri, favored us with a call one
day last week. His business was to
call our attention to map of Atchi-
son county, which he has gotten up,
and proposition To publish map of
Mem maha county. After examining
the Atchison county map, and seeing
the thOroughness with which every
geographical and topOgraphical-so
far as it can be mapped-feature Of
the country, and outlining and nam
ing the many farms, we saw at once
that it was a good thing, and some
thing that every business man, farm
er and land owner, ought to have, and
would have, if they could. at rea-
sonable price. Mr.. Hughes is proba-
bly, the best qualified man to get up
such a map in the western country.
He saw several of our principal citi-
zens, and met with encouragement
from every one. If he makes a plat
of this county it will be sold at from
one to three dollars copy, according
to finish, and at these low figures will
be within the reach of all. Mr.. Fl.
will visit our city again in a short
time, and consummate arrangements
to proceed with the work.

- The Falls City merchants are
vigorously bidding for the spring
trade. Probably the big and cheap
stores of Brownville and our wide
awake stock and lumber merchants
have caused material reduction in the
trade of our neighboring towns, and
Falls City dealers are struggling to
regain lost ground. To accomplish
this they are using freely the best
possible medium-printers ink. The
papers show big advertisements offer
ing big inducements to all for their
custom. One paper has an advertise
ment nearly three columns in length
aud width. We hope our merchants
will not become so lethargic as to lose
the vantage ground they have gained
within the past year, As Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty" so 1t
is of success. growth and prosperity

of the superiority of the Singer Sew
