DOVER.

DOVER, Oct. IL, 1881.
Mr.. EDITOR Dover has been very quiet
since the close of the Fair.
The Fall term of Court will commence
next Monday week.
The backbone of Summer is broken and
Fall has come in little cold.
Oysters are selling on our streets at so
cts. per bushel, and 81 per gallon.
Our citizens have dispensed with the
use of the street sprinkler. The cold
snap was too much for them,
Nearly everybody in town has been
sick with the chills. The doctors have
been run so hard that they are looking
poor,
The MethOdists on last Sunday morning
wanted to raise $500. When the collec-
tors had waited on the congregation and
their returns counted, SAG was found
upon the table. Too close to the adjourn
ment of the Fair
The churches on Sunday night last were
very poorly attented on account of the
severe rain storm. One church had the
preacher and sexton present. 4 rather
small congregation for Dover.
Our band will escort Company ID. of
this place TO Yorktown, and participate in
the coming celebration If the band furn-
ishes as good music there as they did here
during the Fair, Dover will have no cause
| to be ashamed of il.
Mr., =. NJ. Dunn, late sheriff of this
county, has bought the stock of meBchan-
disc of Mr., J, r, MctSonigal, and announ.
oed to the public 10 last weeks papers that
| be intended TO do the fair and square bus
mess, no matter whose toes he tree.ds on, and
make all the money he can. Mr.. ID. has
| been honest and upright in all his deal
ings heretofore and will, no doubt, con-
! tinue in the same channel In his new en-
! tcrprise. He made successful sheriff,
| and any man who can retire from that
Office sharing the highest favor pf all the
persons he came in contact with, 1 think
| will make a successful merchant. 1t win
| be and Ia now the sincere wish of all his
| friends that when he retires from business
he will retire with bis Golfers well filed
with the precious gold.
| The rain on Sunday afternoon and even
ing has done copsiderable amount OF
good. The farmer Is no logger down
! hearted. He now looks forward W.T..
strong hope Of having a crop of wheat
yet for next year. A few days ago the
prospect was very disc6uraging. The
soil was as dry as It could be--too dry to
sow grain. Some ventnred to plow, but
they found 1t useless and gave ii uD.
This rainwe hope has wet the soil suffi-
cient to enable the farmer TO plant with
out the seed going to waste. n
Smyrna times., 1881-10-12

LOCAL PAPERs.-A large proportion of
the people do nothing to support their
local papers, yet they reap the benefit
every day Of the EDITORS work. A man
will say, " Advertising does not pay in my
business; l have to keep men on the road
and get my customers to go after them" ;"
And yet the fact is that the town in which
he does business would be unknown, the
railroad over which he ships his goods
| would be unbuilt, and he himself would
be unheard of, if it were not forthe news
paper, which he says does him no good.
The local paper is of advantage to every
man in the community, and when q man
refuses to contribute to the support of the
| paper on the ground that it "dOes him no
good" he might just as well refuse to paw
! his taxes for the support of the courts and
the police force, on the ground that he
never breaks the law and does not need
any officers. There are men who believe
themselves to be honest and pious, who
are doing business in every community,
and every day apprOpriating to their own
use the fruits Of other mems labOrs by
reaping the benefit of the newspapers
without contributing cent to its support,
and yet they would be terribly shocked ii
they should be charged with stealing
wood from their neighbors. But the
principles is just the same, the only differ
ence being that in one case the law can
reach them, and in the other it cannot
but, morally, it it is just as dishonest to
steal the fruits of your neighbor's enter
prise as to steal his fuel or chickens. Too
much credit cannot be given the weekly
paper for the work 1t has done and is still
doing for the benefit OF the country
