The Gliddenburs pork crop vas sold by
Henry N. Pugsley md Julian Sheldon to Thos.
Brownbridge, OF Decatur, for four cents per
pound II was delivered on Thursday, Janu-
airy 31st, 1878, and weighed about twenty-one
thousand pounds, and was drawn into that su-
burban village by procession OF sixteen teams.
Fault has occasionally been found with Deca-
tur weights, but hose people are satisfied that
their pork was fairly weighed and desire us to
say so for them.
Large hogs appear to have been feature OF
TIE past season. A few days ago III. ?. Sanger
dressed hog OF the Essex and Poland variety

other day Allen Smith sold to Longwell IL Co.

In another place in this issue of the TRUE
NosrHERsER, will be found the report OF the
committee to whom was referred the matter OF
raising by taxation Eve thousand dollars to
build poor house OIL the county farm. The
whole thing looks Ike iobbery, and the figures
contained in the report ought to kill the mea'
sure. The committee seem TO have carefully
kept out of view the eleven or twelve thousand
dollars Of the people money already invested IN
the farm. which fails to pay even its running
expenses. That farm ought to be sold and the
proceeds devoted TO the building Of a poor
house at some convenient location, of sutfi-
cient capacity to accommodate the permanent
paupers Of the county.
Our opinion is that the people will be 10th to
mere ase their present burdens by voting on
more taxes.

The NeWspaper.

Ten years ago | was living in n town
in Indiana. On returning home one
night-for | was 4 carpenter-I saw
a little girl leave nv door, and | asked
my wife who she was. She said Mrs.
Harris had sent for her newspaper
which NY wife had borrowed. As
we sat down to tea my wife said to
me, by name:
Il wish you would subscribe for the
paper. it is 50 much comfort to me
when You are away from home"
81 would Ike to do so, !" said [, "but
you know | owe payment on the
house and lot. 1t will be all | can do
10 meet it.
She replied "If you will take this
paper l will sew for the tailor and
pay for it"
subscribed for the paper it came
in due time to the shop. While rest
ing one noon and looking over it, I
saw an advertisement of the county
commissioner to let bridge that was
to be built. Iput in a bid for the bridge
the contract was awarded me, on which
| cleared $500, which enabled me to pay
for my house easily, and for the news
paper. If ! had not subscribed for
the newspaper | should not have known
anything about the contract, and
could not have met my payments on
my house and lot. A mechanic and
farmer never loses anything by taking
Il newspaper.

Don't Believe i'm Advertising.

The man who saws he "dOsen't be-
lieve in advertising, unconsciou,Iy all
the while is doing Just what he depre-
ciates. He hangs coats outside his
door, or puts dry goods in his windows
that's advertising. He has printed
cards lying on his counter; that's ad-
vertlSing. He sends out dummies
through the country, OF puts his name
on his wagOn-that's advertising. 1T
ne has lost his COW, he puts Il written
notice in the post Oi6ea or tells his
sister-in-law-and that's advertising,
too. He has his name put up in gilt
letters over his doOr-what is that but
advertising? He paints his shop green
or red or, if tailor, he wears the
latest style; if a doctor he has his boy
call him out of church in haste; if an
Suctioneer. he bellows to attract the
attention Of passers by; if a heavy
merchant. he keeps huge pile of box
es on the sidewalk in front of his store
and all for advertising.
A man can't do business without adj
vertising, and the question is whether
20 call to his aid the engine that moves
the world-the printing press, with its
thousands of messengers working night
and day, the steam adding to its repeat
ing capacity, untold power and mirae-
ulous speed, or. rejecting all these, to
90 buck to the days when newspapers
telegraphs and railroads were unknown
but advertising costs money!" So
does everything that is worth having
If advertising cost nothing, all the
second, third and fourth class petty
shops would stand an equal chance
with the most responsible houses. IL
you want to prove to the world that
yours is a first-clAss establishment, ad-
yertise.

Mr.. j. II. Muir. of Allensville, Ky,
gave US the other day simple remedy
for bed-bugs that his wife has been
using for twenIy-seven years, with
perfect success. 1t il strong salt water
applied cold to the cracks and ereviceS

Mrs. Muir thoroughly cleans her beds

this pestiferous little insect has been

Behold him now his Pegasus astride,
/ And saddle bags extended stiG and wide
| With TASKS for thirsty deniEens 10 drain
Entering boldly on tho fierce campaign.
! No more on worth or character he leanS,
Nor on the useless heritage OF brains,
/ Nor love Of country, nor an idle boast,
/ Of all lost virtues most completely lost.
| The arguments by which he hopes to win
Are his vaao mecums brandy, rum and gin.
No longer TO the forum he resorts
And with proud speech the peoples suffrage

Nor to one manly principle appeals
| From the Lone fact none in himself he FEELS
| but courts mems low and bestai appetites
| And calls their base indulgence sacred rights.
| lie execrates the pledge and dares to say
! lie nerr will sign his liberty away;
That brave men bought his freedom with
their blood
And righteous men have tiPpled from the
food;
! That prophets saints and patriarehs partook,
And cites examples from the Holy Book;
How Noah loved his vine and Lot imbibed,
How Jesus made it and how Paul prescribed.
And thus by precept and example both
Sows vice around aud stimulates its growth.
In gambling bells and jockey grounds he's
found
Doling his bottled arguments around,
Or to some stable yard perhaps he goes,
Close on his heels crow of friends and foes.

Oh, that these virtues could return once moro

Those Roman traits which. now forever flown,
In Cine nnatus or Marcsllus shoue!
With selfish ends renounelng every tie,
Corruption hed before their kindling eye.

GLASGOW, Oct. %, 1873.
A meeting OF the shareholders of the
City of Glasgow Bank was held this
afternoon at the City Hall. Among the
shareholders present were six ladies'
Mr.. X ,bert Craig was in the chair. II
was moved that the balance sheet and
report of the INSPECTORS be taken up and
read.
A FEARFUL RECKONING.
Mr.. Young, of Glasgow, shipowner,
seconded the motion, saying, however,
that 1t would only add to their sadness
TO have 1t read again. lie stated that
the report reveals that in June, 1873,
there was actually deficit Of f973,OOO
ga, 100, ,320), to cover which fictitious
entries had been inserted, dividend OF
ten per cent declared and new stock is
! sned. From 1873 this sum Of f973, 900
had been annually deducted. Mr.,
Young then proceeded TO review the
other losses, producing deficit of Ca
100000 ($20,570,O 0,O00), which had been
carried forward on the balance sheet as
good debts. f sfs.f 4a
"Then," he continued, as recently a.
June, 1873, the bank had issued a re
port showing whole capital of fl,0O0
900 ($4,S40, ,000) and reserve Of ESQ
nnn 0fnN hand at,I ha Itroa
tors had declared a dividend of II pei
cent. Now, in the space of three months
We find the capital gone, and are col
fronted with deficiency of f5, 10000
($25, 10000. 1t is hardly possible Il
speak quietly of such tremendous defal
cations. That deficiency we are now re-
quired to make good. The deficiency i
overwhelming and the prospect appal
ing.
Ifliquidaiion means tor many, yer,
many shareholders, rain aud misery, Il
all poverty and suffenng.our misfortune
are. greater than our fault in having re
p sed confidence in unworthy men am
having believed the false balance sheets
But, Though losing money, we are no
lost 10 personal honor. The. publ
syinpathizes with US, although we dar
not ask for relief. We must show tn
creditors thst we ore de- 'ern intd to Dol
ly face our difficulties and to max
strenuous efforts, with perfect dttel
mination to pay every one In full"
\ A RererendS Righteous Wrath.
Rev. Mr.. Robertson proposed a mo 10
that, as IL was proved the bank cannot b
reason Of its liabilities continue busines
1t was advisable TO wind up.
ave meet, the reverend gentlems
J mounfully says, 'under adverse circun
} stances. We are called upon to face
crushing calamity, and must acquit on
selves like brave, courageous and homo
, able men. Respecting the direc' ors
! scarcely dare to speak. l must endeav'
