has the following to say TO the people
of Osceola county, and particularly tc
the Board of Supervisors; "At the ses.
sion of the Board of Supervisors, this
week, the matter of allowing the three
papers of the county reasonable com
pensation for publishing the proceed.
ings of the Board, was brought up for
consideration, but the matter met with
such a severe opposition from one OF
two members that 1t was allowed to
drop. The ground taken by those who
oppose the measure Is az that the news
papers are glad to publish them free q
charge, to fill up, and for the benefit OF
their readers; and (2) that the papers
published where they came from made
no charge for the same. Now, we
think ifthese men knew more about
the newspaper business and printers
generally, they would not have made
the above assertions. Editors can gen.
orally find good interesting matters to
"fill up'' On, and at half The expense of
the said proceedings. The proceedings
of the Board of Supervisors In OsceOla
county will fill from ten to twelve close
~ printed columns, requiring In the
neighbOrhood of two weeks hard work,
and crowd the paper full of dry matter
which is not read by over one In ten.
AS to what papers do in other parts, it
does not matter In this case. Right is
right, and If 1t is right that the Super
visor be paid for his services to the
county, it is certainly right for the
printer to be served the same, and we
think the majority Of the Taxpayers
Of the county are Of the same opinion"

A few moments spent each day in
clearing ground, planting, sowing,
pruning OF transplanting; the effect of
which labor Is scarcely felt or noticed
ut the time, makes great difference
i'm the matter Of improvements I'm the
course of year. There are many COM
forts and even luxuries of this life that
come through simple labor of this sort,
and are within the reach of the poor as
well rs the rich; and 1t certainly is
comfort to be posscssor of a cosy home,
however humble its surroundings may
bc. In this locality, where land is to
