The Local Paper.


The columns of paper are the pub
.lisAer's stock in trade, and the parties
who ask us to use them for their special
benefit, must expect to pay for the same,
and we hope that all parties will, after
due consideration, view the matter in
the proper light. Every public-spirited
citizen of place should have pride in
seeing his own town and the surround
ing country improve. Every new house
or barn in the surrounding country
every new fence, road, or shade tree
every new manufacturing establishment
erected; every new business opened,
enhances the value of property in our
midst. Every honest, rejecting mind
knows this to be true, and You should
not forget that the local newspaper adds
much to the general wealth and pros
perity of the place, as well as increases
the reputation Of the town abroad. 1t
benefits all who have business in the
place, enhances the value of property,
besides being a public convenience,
even If not conducted in the interest of
the ruling political power. II its col

torials, still il benefits you in many
ways. 1t increases trade, il cautions
against imposition, it saves You loss, it

It is even within the memory of COM
paratively young men that cotton seed
was considered great nuisance to the
Southern planter, and. he was sorely
puzzled at times how to get rid of it..
Finally it occurred to few that it
might be used as a fertilizer. Slowly
finding it beneficial to increase the
growth of various crops, it was then
thought by one here and there that it
might be nutritious food for animals,
and especially swine. Being allowed to
come to the heaps of seed and eat what
they pleased of it, with more or less
lint attached, it often proved their
death. After this they cleaned the lint
from the seed, boiled it, and feeding o
moderate quantity at time, it was
found highly nutritious and a perfectly
safe food. Next came decorticating the
feed, grinding and pressing the oil
from the meal, which made it still more
valuable and economical than the whole
seed for the food of all domestic ami
mails. The oil was reserved for refining,
and is now used for various other oils,
such as the olive, castor, etc. Nor is
this all, for the manufacturers of oleo-
margarine, taking the hint, are now
turning out from it what they brand as
"gilt-edge" butter! What may be pro-
duced from it hereafter may be hard to
tell, but we should not be surprised if,
in the course of time, the seed of cot
ton might approach that of flax. When
it comes to this millions of dollars will
be added to the sum OF Southern ex-
ports. ~ @f ~

A NEVADA NOVEL.
A True Story Of the Lives and Love Of = Sage.
Family Brush.

A True story Of the Lives and Love Of Sage.
Family Brush.
Rsno (Nevl Gazette.
The romances that are put in good
shape by the novelist and newspaper
excite great interest, while those in real
life, going on all the time, are not seen
by one IN q dozen, and yet truth is
stranger than fiction. Few plays or
novels have so much real incident and
so strange chances as recently occurred
20 little family in this State. It con-
sisted of the father and mother and q
bright little boy. They are well thought
of and in good society. The father
has always been model man. He
uses no tabacco, never drinks nor swears,
and never made his wife jealous. They
were married in an Eastern State, and
lived there and here in solid comfort
and in apparenthappiness. Not long ago
one of those strange changes that some
times comes over the hayward human
heart turned the wife's affections away
from her husband to center on bacle-
lor neighbor. She asked her. husband
to give her devorce, but he refused,
as he said he had no grounds. She told
him that she loved another man better.
He said, with laugh, that didn't
amount to anything, and the pleasantest
relations that had existed between all
the parties remained unbroken, so far
as the neighbors could see. The bach
,elor was very attentive, and the lady
gave him every opportunity, while the
husband manifested an utter indiffer-
,ence. The bachelor waxed rich in cattle,
and his trade in merchandise increased,
while the husband, by close attention
to business, was providing for his fami-
ly and gathering together few head
OF stock that were adding to his frugal
fortune. The deadlock was at last
broken, however, and just about the
time the bachelor went out of the cat
tie business by disposing of 425 head
ITO his rival in the lady's affections she
was granted divorce. Whether the
divorce figured in the trade as valua-
BILE consideration may not be suscepti-
BILE OF proof, but it is freely claimed
that it did. The husband made trip
to the county seat and took home the
divorce and a license for marriage an
the same pocket, and at the wedding of
the happy couple he danced and ate
cake, but drank no wine, as he seemed
happy enough without it. He kept the
little boy, but allows him frequent visits
to his mammals new home. The novel
might close with, "and they lived hap
PLY together forever AFTER" but the
oldest part of the whole story is to fol-
low. A little infant appeared on the
scene few months after the marriage,
and the new husband sent the old one
q bill for nurse and doctor fees, which
was promptly paid. Since that the
irst husband had been married to a
handsome young lady, and the only
drawback to her happiness is that her
friends jokingly tell her that she is in
danger of being traded off for team
of horses. What this story lacks in
detail it makes up in truth.
