newspaper believe every man. nj least in q
new town like this, should take at least one
newspaper and keep himself posted - TO what il
going on in the wsrid generally. Newspapers
are the mental levers that move mankind, and .
community without them never can reach the

Twelve months ago wrestled with chils and
fever for . few weeks. During those blissful
stages Of the disease when . fellow gets his
brain shsok up, / remember an interview had
with 81 Peter. After . cordial greeting. we sAi
down, lit our pipes and got our heels up on the
stove for q chat upon matters in general. The
subject Of schools was discussed at some length
and Peter then told me, that, In his opinion, the
greatest educator was the press OF the present
day. There could, in fact, be no better he said
they are the advocates Of all occupations and eli
classes Of society without regard to sex or age
and 30 well conducted BY the most eminent tai
ent, it was only necessary for him TO ask an ap-
plcant for admission to the realms Of bliss what
paper he was . regular reader Of to enable him
to place the person at once. If they said they

We are soon TO have two more stores-one Of
general merchandise, the other q drug store. A
first class blacksmith shop 10 now en- route from

Since my last, have canvassed the matter Of
line of telegraph to connect Us with your city
and am satisfied that we can oil the bill and
have the connection at an early day. We mean
business in these things and don't propose u
talk long before we act.
Our population 10 now favored with q good
spnnkling Of Nortberners, who have come tc
make both homes and business Among them
we have some good musicians, and already q
quartette club cheers In the evenings and bras
band Is being talked Of love music, but the
good Lord deliver me from the restless nights
and misery produced by the unearhly discordl
Of an amateur band at practice in the SUMMED
evenings. However, we never can keep TO the
front in progress without Q brass band, hence
we must suffer. presume the next thing will
be military company, and hope It will be
artillery. It's more to my notion TO have the
horses haul the guns than to tote them on oul
shoulders / presume General Dickson car
furnish Us few brass pieces for our equipment
We do not hear much As yet about politics
though we are getting in . goodly number Of
voters. When election time comes fancy " ouI
member in Congress" will open his eyes and
wonder why he should have been 70 thoughtlese
not to answer certain letters sent from here by
one or more Of his constituents" Bot it's all
correct; some Of the peoples servants" are
slow TO learn there's God in Israel"
We want an appropriation from Congress Of
one thousand dollars to take the bar out Of the
mouth of Crooked river where II enters our har-
Dor. 1t will not cost over ten dsllan to make
the survey. It's already staked out, bat we
would like the whole Of the balance spent in
actual work In removing the sand live can't
get the full amount we will be satisfied with
half the sum. 1t win depend very much whom
we vote for the coming fall whether or no we
have that amount appropriated. think you
can understand that without any pictorial &C
compartment.
