Mr.. KURrz;-Sprucetown is but =
village, si,uated about mile eas, Of Cen
tre Hill. Il contains about 90 inhabitants.
The site is beautiful and affords every
thing necessary 20 promote health and
comfort. The people follow various occu-
pa,ions. Among those are two wagon
makers, one shoemaker and one black
smith, all are operating with no opposition
whatever. We have no tradition as 70
the oriSer OF the term "Sprucetown-' n-' Bat
suppose il originated in The following
manner: a great many years ago there
resided in this town a famous German
hunter who was noted for his daring and
perllous adventures, sometimes making
very narrow escapes. He lived in cabin
built in very lonely district. His saos.s-
tAnco was principally game which was east
ly obtained. Oflen while out on hunting
expeditions he was pursued BY the ssvage
Indian and compelled 10 fee for his life
One night as be was mediiating over the
pursuites OF the day.he became the recipient
Of a guest, an English hunter Sho had
wandered in the wilds and became beStI>
dered and in this way encountered this
cabin. The visitor WAS welcome to pass
the night in the cabin with this German,
who could hardly speak English While
indulsing in conversation on various sub
iects, a Ee-ce cry startled their ears, and
a. once began an Investigation OF The
place from whence the cry came, TO their
surprise they saw large panther IN the
top of large Spruce. They both dis
charged their rifles but with no result
whatever. The enrAged animal began at
once 10 descend, then the Dutchman Ie>
marked in broken English luke no cume
the Spruce town" The animal was cap
tured with great difficulty. This odd ex>
preston the German became by word
and in this way the place received ITS
name. The bAppiest msu in town Is
David Sweetwood, the shoemaker, he says
he can make boots in winter As well as
summer, that is providing they are not
lsrRe enough to crowd him out. Philip
Kemp successful farmer says he gener-
ally plows when the furrow will I'll with
ws,er behind him. MILTON

The lhilosopny Of Newspaper
Advertising.

"lIcrmit," the New York CORES
pendent Of the Troy Times, IL close
observer Of things here, in his latest
letter, phiIosophicaily remu, ks: "The
autumn trade is now in full activity,
and business men are cxerting every
effort TO improve the harvest. Ono
method is tic handful system, by
which the hotels arc daily inundated.
During the business season one bow
after another will 60 the rounds, and
III this way IN attempt is made to OBJ.
tain trade. OF these, however, the
greater part are wasted, since tho
waiter generally picks thcn up aud
throws them into the street. and the
mex day n fresh inundation takes
place Experience has clearly de-
moustratcI hal the most efficient
method Of advertising is found in the
jndicious use ofthc newspaper colu-
ms. The ground on which
paper advertising, rs q system, is
lascd is human conf lcncc, since we
cannot avoid believing that which
We constantly read. This confidence
is sometimes abused, but still it is
evident that n COED advertisement
will, i sufficiently repeated, carry
popular opinion. Men who adverti..
with the great st p"rsistency evcntu-
ally reach success. There is Il mill
tary principle involved in this metl
cd, since the article advertised should
be pressed Oh the public by repeated
assaults. The correc. view, which
experience brings 10 each man, is
that advertising should be inclnded
in the general estimate of expenses,
rs regularly rs store rent, clerk hire
and insurance. 1t is often said a
good stand at a high rent is better
than poor IL rent free. Well,
advertising brings q man before the
public in e way that makes any
stand good. The best stand you
can have is to be in the newspaper"

True Newspaper Independence


What We Understand By an indep-
cndent newspaper is one that has de-
cidcd convictions; that puts princip-
les above party advantage; that treats
its opponents fairly; that gives its
readers a chance to see both sides of
every important question; that does
not subsist on The crumbs of official
patronage, nor pop up and down, like
II lack-ina-boN, when some clique of
politicians or some party "boss" pulls
the wires; that is manly, honest, de-
cent and Of good repu:e among good
men. All, but can such a paper be
independent while belonging to a
party and seeking the success of that
party? Decidedly, yes. A party is
an imstrumehtality to accomplish GER
tain purposes otgovernment. 1t is
an assembly ofmen of one mind on
certain public questions, to carry into
effect their common ideas. When We
have religion without churches, So
cicty without laws, science without
s hools, and industry without tools
and machinery, then and not till
then shall we have politics without
parties.
