Perhaps the most remarkable literary
enterprise of the time, is the publication of
the Library of Universal knowledge, in
20 volumes, of nearly 1000 pages each,
Handsomely bound, for 80 cents per volume
or ten dollars for the set II 10 . reprint
entire Of the last (1s79) Edinburg :and
London edition of Chambers Encyclope-
dia; A Dictionary Of Universal knowledge
for the People, with very large additions
upon topics of special interest to Amsri-
can readers. The amount of matter will
somewhat exceed that ofshs Cyolopedias OF
Appleton or Johnsons, though the price IL
but fraction of their cost. Volume one
is to be ready early in September. and the
others will follow at very short intervals.
The remarkable low prices are accounted
for by the method of sale, to the subscri-
bsrs direct, saving them the large commis-
sion, often so ar 70 per cent, paid to agents
or dealers; also, by the recent great reduc-
ton in the cost of making books, and BY
making very large sales. This certainly il
. work that the millions will appreciate.-
Special inducements are offered to early
sut scribers and clubs.
The same publishers have recently is
sued editions Of Chamber Cyclopedia of
English Literoture, A vols, $500, former
ly sold in two volumes for 5000; also Rol.

AND THE GOOD WORK GOES
BRAVELY ON.

The honest tax payers Of Perry county
will no doubs be surprised to learn that
Auditor Thacker has already found and'ad-
ded to the tax duplicate of Perry county
Three Hundred thousand Dollars. It looks
a. though It would be an impossibility for
this large sum of money to be in the hands
of the people of this county and it escape
the vigilencs Of the Assessors. But it has
been done for yesrs and the County Audi
tors failed 10 be able to remedy the matter,
until Mr.. Siinchcomb succeeded in adding
q considerable amount to the tai duplicate.
Mr.. Thasksr went into the Auditors Office
under the most unfavorable circumstances
having opposition on all sides and the
general impression was that he would be 8
failure. He however paid no attention to
outside parties and went to work in his Of
fee. 1t was not long until be began to
make friends by bis strict attention to bu-
siness and the interest be took in the pub
lie welfare. By bis indefatigabls energy he
has found three hundred thousand dollars
in the county that was not returned for
taxation and has caused il 70 be plnced on
the tax duplicate 10 bear iss share of the
taxes. He to-day is the most popular man
that ever filed the Auditors Office in Per-
~ county, and his popularity is not con-
fined to :the Democratic party, but to all

ming endorsement st the hands of the peo.
pie when the time comes for them TO show

6lled the position be now holds.
