sources of this town and par1sn Tor tho setab-
tlssAu.st OF factories. especially
ssssz co1ToN AND woot. .
desire. through the columns OF your valuable
journal. to furnish information upon other
subjects, which may prove OF benefit to the
public and those seeking Investment. I can
assure you that state nothing but facts. and
feel fully satisfied that. from tho convenient
location and remarkable healthfnlness OF our
town and parish. we will even tually become u
thriving manufacturing locality.
MANUFACTURE or aLABg.

prise, cannot understand why tho game has
not attracted attention before. Upon the banks

ca Of flne quality and perfectly free from all
chemical properties injurious to the successful
test II has been fully and satisfactorily, demon
strated that the material possesses oil the auali
ties to insure successful operation.
POTTERY.
For the above object the county offers every
indueement. for here the clay necessary can be
procured In m unlimited supply. am credi-
bly, informed by = gentleman practically versed
advantages exist as do here. either In soil or
climate. for the described purpose. ]. would
further state that some years ago some beauti-
full specimens Of pottery" were made here by
q n9entleman. He was 90 we'll pleased with the
climate and Inducements offered that he had
determined and so arranged to locate an estab.
lishment here. but the fate Of war debArred
him from successfully carrying out his project.
TANNERIEB.
ALL the requirements and materials. for
this purpose are to be found here IA abun-
dance, and there can be no doubt that the same
would prove a paying one, having an ample
supply Of the raw material to draw upon with
a we'll wooded country capable OF supplying all
the red oak bark required.
FRUIT CULTURE.
From personal and practical experience.
do not think any portion Of our state offers
greater Inducements or advantages In soil or
climate. Tor here all tho fruit indigenous TO the
South can be grown In abundance with little
labor and small cost: especially is the soil

Of this am able to state, on the authority Of
Mr.. II. 9. Drinkel, Of Lancaster, that what is
known IN Ohio as the Capital District will
send Blaine delegates to Chicago. When 1t Is
considered that that Is Hherman's old home,
and that he was born and educated In the

partly educated, the circumstance may be
considered as u very large sized and indiea-

A Berlin correspondent Of the Lorldon STAN

man army bill has given fresh flip to Rus
sian military enthusiasm. Reports from the
frontier state that among the numerous le-
gions occupying Poland the cry ITO. Vienna !"
is varied by the even more ambitious motto,
ITO Berlin" The government more than
tolerate this enterprlsing disposition Of the
military, though probably In no hurry to en-
add to the Polish garrsons, and are provid-
ing the means for rapid concentration. A
new fortified camp is being formed at Radon.

TAKING THINGS FOR GRANTED.

Half of the failures of life result from
the habit 80 many people have Of taking
things for granted. The business man
assumes that his credits are good, or he
takes it for granted that his wife knows
what style of living his income will war
rant, until the logic of addition, su.rlc.
tion and multiplication proves too much
for him and down comes his business in
ruins. The young professional man
takes it for granted that veneering in
stead of solid requirements will enable
him to succeed, because there are 30
many notorious examples of mems rising
and maintaining themselves in public
life through pure audaCity, native wit,
and an utter lack of conscience. He
will find too late that it won't do to plan
and risk career by the exceptions
rather than the rule. The farmer keeps
no accounts; crops his farm according
to the season, or last years markets, or
his neighbours success; takes it for
granted that the laws of nature and of
trade will accommodate themselves to
his necessities; sinks deeper into debt,
aud wonders why farming doesn't pay,
And so on to the end; men every
where want success without paying it's
price in thorough preparation, honest
hard work, intelligent calculation and
foresight, or patient attention to details.
They take for granted things which it is
their business to know, and trust that
to fortune which common sense and
experience should teach them is con.
trolled by Cincinnati Trade List.
