rather rocky looking white man, wearing green
goggles, giving the name OF John L. Cook, with
q boy, aoout 10 years old, as his leader, and
made the charge OF vagrancy and begging on

he pretends to be blind, but a physician says
he Is not blind. The boy gave his name as
EuIlfyan, ard stated that he received 20 cents
per day for leading the man about. Cook tesu-
he'd In his own behalf, that he was blind, and
that his ctrcum stances were such that he was
obliged to resort to picking up change. The

Eg- How TO BUILD Up A IowN.-H

agement and upbailding. 1t is his own
home, and in self-interest-eyen if be
were Indifferent 10 the public good
should prompt him 10 such cause 10
do otherwise is to attempt suicide. In
any event, the man who would persist
in defaming and depreclating his own
home must be sadly blinded 10 his best
interests. Horace Greedy, in comment
inc on this very subject, insisted tina: ii
the town had defects, let the world DIS
cover them the best way the world
could. If it has advantages let them
be put forward so prominently that he
who runs may read. Advertise its ed
ucalional facilities, its moral and intel
lectual superiority, lis hsalthtul loea-
ton, It's suitability for manufacturing
and commercial enterprises. Patronize
every good and worthy home institution.
Encourage merchants 10 bring large
and varied stocks of goods to the place
by purchasing whatever is needed from
them. Reward enterprise and energy
whenever possible, discountenance idle
ness, push the habitual croaker into the
background, punish the mischief maker,
foster and encourage every institution
that has for its object the elevation OF
mankind, stand united upon every wor-
thy project, hope for great things and
in dQe time success cannot fail 10 crown
the efforts put forth.

IT, Coop News FOR TIE FARMERS.
Our farmer friends Will be pleased to
hear that reports from all the leading
commercial cities agree in reporting
the grain market active, with an up
ward tendency. The transactions in
wheat and corn have been unusually
large, stimulated by recent advices from
Europe. Reliable foreign reports say
the demand for grain is not caused by
speculation, but grows on. of legiti
mate trade, governed by the action o.
supply aud demand. Quotations from
abroad would seem te justify purchases
in this country for export at this time
The provision market likewise is also
active, with an upward tendency, in all
the principal cities.
