The County Paper.

Not fow men think they place tho pubs
lisher Of o paper under obligation to thom
when they become subscribers. In one sense
this is true. for without subscribers no paper
could DO published, but the great advantage
of q county newspaper rebounds to tho sub,
scribor and not to the publisher. Apart from
tho advertisements, county news and general
information it contains, it is the advocate for
the people of every enterprise-sooial, moral
and peouniary-which is likely to improve
their condition. Furthermore, it is the
spokesman to the world of the natural
products and resources of the county, and
docs moro than oil else to invite population
and capital among US, to encourage schools,
colleges and churches and to enhance the
value Of the land and products Of every ctis
zen ofthe county. Without county paper
what would the great mass Of our people
know Of the industries Of the world, the mar
ket value of products, the discoveries of scfr
onco, the Improvement Of agricultural implies
monts aud such like matters, and, above all
what would be known Of tho soil, climate,
productions, social, moral and educational
progress Of our peoplc2
The COURIER goes to every County site in
the State, and ard few numbers aro sent to
subscribers and exchanges in more than half
the States Of the Union. Tho County paper
is light to evory county and should be libo-
rally supported. Put out that light and every
interest, material and moral, would suffer.
We have placed the COURIER ut ono dollar
and fifty cents per year, so as to bo within the
reach of oil. While this is true, not moro

Cotton Manufacturing.

In several articles recently published we
have directed the attention of our readers to
this matter. 'Wo know the country is poor,
but wo believe tho remedy for this is tho ono
couragement of manufacturing industries.
We know there is little surplus capital in our
county, but we feel sure there is enough to
erect and put in operation sufficient number
of factories to spin up all of our seed cotton.
Wo have shown that if lint cotton bo worth
nino cents per pound, seven cents value can
be added to each pound by spinning it from
the seed, and that the machinery to spin ono
hundred bales per year will cost less than
twenty five hundred dollars and can bo run
with eight hands. Tho small cost of tho
machinery, the few hands required to run it,
md the saving in ginning, baling, waste,
insurance aud expensive machinery dispensed
with, give to these small factories q great
advantage over those mammoth establish,

advantages the opportunity to buy tho cotton

glided away, and still the mourners

cause of the delay being that some entertain

However, the services were gone through
with, which were rendered in very impress
siye manner by the Rev. Pastor. The most
gratifying part of the whole service, at least
to one who always had most horrid dread
OF being planted alive, was imme-

when it was announced from the
desk "that it was not considered expedient
to bury the corpse until they were perfectly
sure she was dead,'' or words to that effect.

has been resident of Morristown for a

remarkable one. and will be watched with
no little interest until it is really ascer
tanned whether she is dead or sleepeth.

Local IesiSlatiAn.

The common council committee on legis-
lation yesterday presented its report to the
Ramsey county Legislative delegation. The
committee has had under careful considera-
ton the salaries of city officials, concerning
which such hue and cry has been made.
1t is understood, however, that the action of
the committee was more in the direction of
equalization of stipends than of their whole
sale reduction. According to the report a
saving of 81, 200 per annum will be saved by
the new schedule. The salaries of police
men and fremen were left intact, except
those of the bailiffs of the Municipal court,
whose wages were reduced, in consideration
of their labor not being as onerous as that
of the ordinary policemen. The committee
has taken no action yet on Aid. Dowlan s
