WE know OF business men IN this city
who are not consistent. They are always
ready to advise US to use the influence Of
our paper in behalf Of rigid support of
home trade, and against peddlers, travelling
mercantile auctioneers, and frauds Of all
kinds,-and then they want good strong
puffs occasionally for themselves in return
for the patronage they give US. But when
one of these travelling peddlers for some
job-printing house in tho cities comes
along, they forget all about their love of
home institutions aud their hatred OF the
peddler, and give him an order for years
printed stationery. We, IN our poor way,
who have tried TO accept Of their advise,
and have done all that we could TO I'D.

merchants, are paid for our trouble in
such coin, which is worse than counter.

For the information of the many
who are daily inquiring about the
Homestead law we copy the following,
which those interested will do well to
preserve:

ter public land under the homestead

to make final proof until notice has
been given as required by said act.
Any settler desiring to make final
proofs must first file with the final
register of the proper land office Il
written notice Ofhis intention to make
final proof. Such notice must describe
the land claimed, and the claimant
must give the names and residences
of the witnesses by whom the neces-
sary facts as to the settlement, resi-
dence, cultivation ETC., are to be
established.
The filing of such notices must be
accompanied by Il deposit of sufficient

application, and he shall also post
such notice in some conspicuous place
in his Office for the same period. A
