Hiram Barney Leaves the Ship.

We commend to the Republican party
the views of Hiram Barney, ex-COllec-
tor of New York under Lincoln, and
hitherto strong Republican. He has
startled the managers Of the party by
his published remuneration of Republic
canism and his determination to sup
port Hancock. Upon leaving the sink
ing Republican ship he says:
81 do not believe that the South con-
templates another rebellion. / believe
that the Republican party has accom-
plished its purpose and Is now existing
only because Of its Office-hOlders. The
result in Maine shows that the people
are aroused to the dangerous attitude of
their servants. That result will carry
every doubtful State for the Democracy.
The South to-day is as loyal as the
North, and the stories of the payment
of the rebel claims and another rebel
lion are all bosh-the last wall of the
radical leaders. The Tribune has dis
graced the memory Of Horace Greeley
by printing disloyal sentiment attri-
buted to Senator Hampton after he had
repudiated 1t. Of the confidential adj
visers and friends of Abraham Lincoln
none were closer and more beloved by
him than Lyman Trumbull, John M.
Palmer and David Davis. Senator Da-
Wis has pronounced for Gen. Hancock;
Lyman Trumbull is the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Illinois, aud
John NJ. Palmer Is warmly supporting
him and Gen. Hancock. Ben Butler,
Gov. Curtin, Col. Forney, Gen. Pearson
and many more bright lights of the Re-
publican party are supporting Hancock.
Again, the principles of finance which
the Republican party lays claim to, are
in the first place, old Democratic doc
trines. In 1875 Congress passed a law
compelling resumption January, 1879,
or before that date. Resumption came
i'm 1879, and six months after that it
Wa apparent to all financial men that it
might have come i'm 1877 with u saving of
S5O,OOO,OOO i'm interest. think Mr..
Tilden's Secretary of the Treasury
would have resumed i'm 1877. Mr.. Til
den said to me that he intended to fund
the national debt at four per cent, or
three and u half l know Gen. Han
cock personally. Gen. Grant introduced
me to him ON the field Mt Petersburg.
His administration will probably be the
most notable since Jackson. He is Just
the sort Of man to keep the best ele-
ments of the party in front. 1t is alb
surd for the Republicans to say that
business will he injured by a change.
There will be general rejoicing ut Han
cocks election.

The value OF Advertising.

We wanted to buy a certain kind OF
tOoth-ache drops that had been highly
recommended. DIR. Simon N. Jones
did not have them, bat said he would
get them for US. We called the next
day, and DIR. Jones told us that the
medicine We wanted was not to be had
i'm the city.
''rhe fact is" said he, " the maker
stopped advertising it two years ago,
and in consequence the demand for ii
stopped also, and as the stocks OF the
medicine became exhausted, the drug
gists did not replenish with that kind
but instead, bought some new article
which, being largely advertised, the run
of custom was altogether for that
while the old toothache drops were en-
tirely neglected, although 1t was q
much better medicine"
And here then Is the whole secret OF
advertising i'm u nutshell. The demand
for the better article ceases IA soon As 1t
WAS no longer advertised; and the run
Of custom was for the inferior Article
because it was advertised. What n
lesson for a business man! Your BUSH
ness will flourish rs long as it Is adver-
tised, and il will fall off rs soon rs you
stop advertising. - Farmers Home

IA contract from board of public OFF,
GERS, dependent upon the future action
of Congress to fulfill, is against public
policy and void.
That the PLAINTIFF Chittsnden well
knew and intended that the influence
of General Garfield, as a member Of
Congress, was to be used I'm procuring
the contract rather than his arguments
rs a counselor ut law, is evident from
his letter to the defendants, in which
he says: "The influence Of General
Garfield has been secured by yesterday,
last night and to-day's labors. He ear
ries the purse Of the United States--the
chairman of the Committee on Appro-
priatiOns-and IL the strongest man i'm

mand is to-day, not less than one hun

all. Everything is in the best shape,

reasons to believe, satisfactory.
can la lilly realize that we have Gen.
eral Garfield with Us. II is rare and
very gratifying. All the appropriations
of the district come from him."
Judge Farwell overruled the demur-
rer, sustained the pleas, and held that
the contract was against public policy
and void, because il had been corruptly
obtained.

Net Advertised.

Mr.. i. w. Kelly, Of New Castle, with
characteristic shrewdness, left his home
on Tuesday morning for Scott county
ON a visit to Richard West, ESQ, and
while there purchased the tract Of land
formerly belonging To r. p. Samuel,
and adjoining his own farm The said
tract contains ISL acres, for which he
pays 5000. Several other parties have
been figuring to get this land, but Mr..
Kelly has the lead now, and is justly
proud Of his purchase. The land is quite
rich and fertile, and desirably located.
A thousand dollars on the purchase
price would not now secure the place.
Mr.. Kelly kept his own counsel. and it
was not known that he contemplated
buying, and this notice will be the first
intimatiOn to those who wanted IL that
they have lost their opportunity. Mr..
Kelly returned Wednesday morning In
fine spirits, feeling that he has made
more than "shock of corn this week.

Had General West judiciously aslver-
tised the farm for sale, he would, be-
yond all question, have saved that
81 900 profit that Mr.. Kelly is 50 proud
of having earned by his shrewd bar
gain. Two bidders are better than one.

Country folks are i'm general so fully
occupied with affairs that they have no
time to discover how lonesome they
really are. So far as this is concerned
we think it is a misfortune. We are
too busy. We work too hard. We
take few or no holidays. We read and
think too little, and do not spend suf1i-
cient time i'm social culture. There Is no
reason why those who pillow the soil or
"whose talk is Of bullock should not
the result of formal social life. In hush
ness, at bargains, in pursuit Of dollars,
no man Is seen at his best He Is thor
ney, spiney, with his back up As por-
cupine might be at his business. Let
one doff his working clothes and enter
room full Of neighbors-men, women
young men and maidens-and he is a
man Of another kind. He naturally
falls into the waysO an intuitive kind
ness, which is really the truest polite
ness; the doing to his companion what
he should do to him. He "lets himself
out'' to please, and, after an evening
spent i'm social converse he retires with
many rough corners and asperities
toned down. For n few days the in
fiuence remains. lt would be perma-
ment if il could bere-infOrced now and
then, and the good results would be
most agreeable and useful. There h no
difficulty in bringing these good infiu-
ences to bear Two or three persons
with energy and some magnetism about
them can put them i'm motion with
ease. Now il the time To begin the

run down the country and your fellow
citizens to every stranger You meet, but
brag them up. Tell strangers you have
a fine county. Don't deceive them by
telling exaggerated stories or untruths,
but don't take delight i'm making
prominent every little mismanagement
of public affairs and every little circum-
stance of your county's history that was
not just according to your ideas. Tell
the stranger visitor that your people are
good and hospitable, and prove 1t to
him by introducing him among your
friends. Let every man speak well of
his neighborhood and his county, and
try to induce strangers to settle there.
When a stranger locates near you,
make him think well Of you and your
neighbOrs. If there is a bargain in a
piece of land or farm near you, help to
get that bargain disposed Of When il is
in stronger hands and out of the market
it will stiffen prices on all lands sur
rounding it. Get all your farms into

Onward, improvement, progress, are
the watchwOrds of the hour with the
great American people, and in the front
rank of progressive Americans We find
the the great Art Publishing firm of
Messrs. George Stinson Il Co., Portland,
Maine. During the year 1879 they sold
over two million more pictures than
they ever sold before i'm a single year,
and the sales for 1850 thus far are much
larger than for the corresponding per-
iod in 1879. 1t is believed that they pay
more for postage stamps than any other
house, not only in this country, but in
the world at large; We will give some
of the figures, which we have direct
from Messrs. Stinson & CO., and there
fore know are correct. During the year
1878, the amount of money they paid
for postage stamps, was over fifty thous-
and dollars. During the year 1879 the
amount they paid for postage stamps
was over eighty-seven Thousand dollars.
For the first eight months OF 1880, the
amount paid for postage stamps rises
to seventy-five thousand dollars, and
will doubtless go considerably over one
hundred thousand dollars, for the year.
While the amount paid for postage Is
simply enormous, it must be remem-
bered IN this connection, that only the
small orders go by mail, all large orders
being sent by express or freight.
From the above some idea of the
magnitude of their business can be

PATTON. McLENNAN COUNTY,

PATTON, McI.ENNAN COUNTY,
October 3, 1850.
Editor Herald:
a boy fresh from Kentucky finds so
much of interest i'm the "I.One Star"
State that he at once has an inclina-
ton to bother somebody with what he
sees that is so curious.
This county h nearly equally divided
as to prairie and timber land, and
equally SO as to the character of the
soil. This, the western part, is what is
known here rs the "black waxy,"
which, when wet, sticks to everything
like tar. Even the polished pillow Of
old Avery have to be cleaned every few
minutes with a paddle when at work
Crops are very fine, especially the
corn. There was more corn raised, the
State over, than ever before. Cotton is
not so good, having been cut short some
10y the opportune e. appearance of the
boll-worm.
Everything grows here that We raise
in old Kentucky except tobacco, and
even that is raised some; but it lacks
the heavy summer dews to give it
weight. Water melons grow to perfec-
ton and voluntary. The timber seems
very scrubby to one out of the splendid
forests of Kentucky, but it is made
good Use of by the average Texan. The
earliest fencing was done with cedar
rails, and there are fences here of that
material that have been standing for
thirty years, and are now rs hard IA
horn. The Old-fashioned "wOrm" fence
is fast giving away to the post and
barbed wire.
The stock law is rigidly enforced and
no stock runs at liberty except cattle
and horses. Sheep and goats are herded
and woe betide the recreant hog that is
found in the neighbours corn patch, for
the day of evil has come upon him.
] found Il great many specimens of
curious geological formations that
would be quite an addition to your mu-
scum, and also that of most any natu-
ralist, and the bOtanist finds much that
is interesting. The limited space of a

enter into the discussion or description
of either of them. But / find | am

SPANISH Fort, MONTGOMERY l
Co., TEXAS, Oct. 9TH, 1880.


Editor Heraid
1t has been long time since 1 have
seen anything in the HERALD from this
part of the country. l believe most all
of your Texas correspondents quit writ
ing. | like to see something occasion
ally from Texas, and Us no one else will
perform the task, / will drop you "A few
lines.
This is season long to be remember
ed i'm Texas as one of good crops and
good health. AS a general thing, a good
crop year here is sickly, but this season
we had enough rain to produce good
crops and not enough to produce sick
ness. The Red river country Is not
noted as u healthy country anyway,
but for the past two years the health
has been as good rs l ever saw in any
country.
A worm called the boil worm, greatly
injured the cotton crop, but there will
be rs much yet rs can be gathered.
Most farmers are done gathering corn.
The fall Of the year is here, and even
down here In the "sunny south" we had
considerable frost OH the morning of the
9Th inst.
Our State election comes i'm Novem-
Der with the National election Texas
people never seem to take much inter
est in political affairs. One reason of
this, is the fact that Texas is largely
Democratic, and they think she will go
all right anyhow. The Republican
party is not known in our county, i'm
fact 1 do not know n man who will vote
| for Garfield. The Greenbackers have
considerable strength, and have candi-
dates for most all the State and County
offices
Our neighbOrs, the Cherokee Indians,
are creating considerable disturbance
among our stock men. 1t has been the
custom among many of our stock men
to hold cattle i'm the nation, and many
of them have thousands of cattle scat
tered over II radius of fifty or one hun
dred miles. Gov. OvertOn, the newly
elected Governor of the Cherokees, has
ordered all nOn-citizens to remove their
stock from the Indian nation i'm thirty
days, which is almost an impOssibility
with some of them.
Capt. Morris owns rance situated six
miles from our town which he had just
sold for one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, but, owing to the troubles with
the Indians, the trade has fallen through.

the Pan Handle of Texas, or the Okla
hOma Territory.
To show how quick fortunes can be
made, would state that Capt. Morris
came home from the war u poor man,
and took a small bunch of cattle to
tend on the shares, and he now owns
cattle valued at $40, 900. Several other
men have been equally successful in the
cattle business i'm our country. o. +.
Payne, from Logan county, KY, is in
the cattle business here, and bids fair Ia
be wealthy in few years.
The Montague Association was held
at this place. L met several Kentuck-
ians who were representing the differ
ent churches in the Association, and
among them was Mr.. Nye. He says
that when Henry Clay was candi-
date for President he pledged himself
not to shave until Clay was elected, and
his snow-white beard flowing almost to
his waist testifies to how he has kept
his promise. frn--
