Don't Do II.
Don't ask us to trust you for coal,
when we must pay cash for the same as
we sell 1t, and barely get carriage out Of
1t, the railroad company fixing buying
and selling price.
Don't order coal and then 20 out of
town and say you forgot to pay for it,
and keep us out of our money two or
three weeks.
Don't get mad if we tell you we can't
do that kind of business.
DON'T think we are millionaires, tsre
are, but don't sraht it 10 leak 0a).
Don't forget that the coal business is
Of necessity a cash business, and you

Of al this change, they repeat the
old, old story, "a cold" neglected

dyspepsia, 'liver complaint, and
constipation" with unsuccessful
physicians and remedies. In offering
his Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets for the
cure Of the above affections, DR..
Pierce does not recommend them as
"aure o're" in ali stages, For if
the lunls be half wasted away, or
there be a caucerous complication, no
physician or medicine can cure. The
Discovery.is however, an rneq1alad
Pectoral and blood-purifer. 1t speed

or cold, and in its early or middle
aes, consumption. By correcting
all irregularities of the stomach and
liver, It readily cures blotchss, pin.

One of our best purveyers of infor-
nation was {. bright, blue-eyed fair
haired little drummer boy, as hand
some as = girl, well-bred as a lady,
and evidently the darling of some re-
fined loving mother. He belonged, l
think, to some loyal Maryland regi-
ment, was captured in one of the ac-
tions in the Shenandoah Valley, and
had been with US in Richmond. We
called him Red Cap" from his wear
ing a jaunty gold-laced, crimson cap.
Ordinarily tho smaller a drummer
boy is the harder he is, but no amount
of attrition with rough men could
coarsen the ingrained refinement OF
Red Caps manners. He vas be-
tween Is and IA and it seemed utter
ly ehameful that men calling them
selves soldiers, should make war on
such tender boy and drag him eff to
prison.
But no six footer had more SOL
dierly heart than little Red Cap, and
none were more loyal to the cause.
1t was a pleasure to hear him tell the
story Of the fights and movements his
regiment had been engaged :" He
was good observer and s..i his t..a
with boyish farvor. Short. after
Wirz assumed command he took lit
tie Red Cap INTO his Office as an Order
ly. His bright face and winning
manners fascinated the women visi-
tors at headquarters, and numbers of
them tried to adopt him, but with
poor success. Like the rest of us he
could see few charms il an existence
under the rebel flag, and he turned
a deaf ear to their Establishments,
He kept his cars open TO the oonver-
sation Of the Rebel officers around
him, and frequently secured permis-
sior to visit the interior of the etock-

The City VS.. the Country Paper.


The other day an old, respectable
citizen came into our office and after
paying his last years subscription,
took seat and remarked:
a guess you need't send me the
paper any longer; I have just sub
scribed for a Philadelphia paper
which suits me pretty well, and it
doesn't cost as much as the Observer
by dollar.
Here he handed us the paper for
inspection. We found it to be
neat looking sheet, handsomely print
ed, with large engraved head, and
containing about forty-eight columns
miscellaneous reading matter.
Fair looking paper" we remarked,
as we handed it back to him; "but
did you ever see anything in it con-
corning our county ?"
"Well, I don't know as I ever
have"
"Anything in regard to the State p
Nothing"
"And yet you give up paper that
contains The local market reports, the
the state Of the crops, tho deaths
and marriages and the thousand and
one happenings from week to week
which mako up the history of the
region in which you are most in
terested and which you can get
from no other source, and take in
stead city paper simply because it
comes a dollar cheaper"
eyes, and it contains more reading
matter, he added.
Cert. "" we remarked, "but
what is the character Of the matter ?
Nothing in it that helps to build up
your county and support home lnstl-
vulioUs. Il Is as loreign oyou as the
city in which it spublished. 1t may
contain more reading matter, but
vour neighborhood is not represented
4 Its columns"
''But why can you furnish your
naper for dollar if they can aford
a mucn larger one il the city for that
price2" he queried. Labor is GER
tainiy cheaper here.
''For the reason that county paper
has a small circulation compared with
a city paper and the labor expended
upon 1000 papers IS about the same
as on $4,000 especially when it is ta-
ken into consideration that the city
weekly which is furnished for dollar
per year is "msde up" of the type
set fox the daily"
That's enough exclaimed the
old gentleman, as he pulled out his
wallet and handed US two dollars,
lust send me the Observer for anoth-
er year,
AS he babe us good morning" and
passed through the sanctum door, We
heard him remark Tits my be-
lief that man who stops or refuses
to subscribe to his local paper simply
because it doesn't contain as much
reading matter as one made up"
from daily and published in the city
should be supplied with medical al
.anacs at The public expense. Wa
terloo, N. Y. Observer.

THE NATIONS PENSION
ACCOUNT.

This years appropriation for pen
siOns, as .reported by the committee on
that subject, and passed by the house
with little debate, amounts to the sum
of $50, 404,0OO. This is an increase of
$3,039,000 over the appropriation last
winter for the current year. This ap-
preparation has increased by special leg
islation, and more especially by the ar
rearage act of last session, until now it
far surpasses the army, the navy, the
civil service, the interior department, or
indeed any other account In the national
ledger. There were 242,755 names on
our pension rolls the first of July last.
During last year there were added to the
above list, after deducting names strick-
en- out for death, discovery of fraud, or
other causes, 1887 new names, and
this increase will 60 on for years under
the arrearage of pension bill, which has
already increased the annul apprOpria-
ton 100000.

A FORRRUN N Err.

The rumor that the New York Times
is soon to break ground openly for
General Grant finds confirmation in the
following, which appeared in its columns
last week: 1.-The people who are weary
Of sectional controversy, sick of the end
less wrangling which keeps North and
South apart as if their contest had end
ed like that between Irish Celts and
Norman barons, to Grant as the man
who could do most to extinguish smol-
dering animosity and silence the parti-
san cries of hatred and distrust. A pub
lie taste on which the fabby goodness
of the present administration has some
what palled seeks for needed change
in man whose acts, whether well or i'll
directed, we're at least always as good
as his words. We fully believe there
are eminent Republicans, of whom E. B.
Washburne may be taken as type,
with whom Republican success would be
quite a secure as with Grant but at the
same time, there can be no mistaking
the fact that the unanimity with
which men of all sections and all parties
accept General Grant as the foremost
American citizen of his time, will give
to his candidacy, should he accept such
a responsibility, significance altOgeth-
er new to our politics"
