The GOVcrnOrslip.

We spoke to our fellow towns
man, Hon. II. NJ. McVeigh, on his
return from Missouri, during the
past week, in reference to the article
from the Sheridan Spy, advocating
him for Governor. He expressed
himself as pleased with the high
compliment paid him, but said he
had never given thought to the
subject of becoming a candidate.
"lou may say that | am not a cam
didate, and will not be, unless there
should be a general expression in my
favor throughout the state. No man
in his right mind will seek such a
position, nor would true man de-
cline it, if he could plainly see that
he was the choice of the people. |
am honest in what say to you, and
you will find that such compliments
and illusions, while justly priced by
me, will not have the effect of max
ing me think that the people are all
wanting me for their Governor, and
can't get along without me. ] hope
the time is at hand when the will of
the people in matter'of such impor-
tancc to them, will be fully express
ed, and hope you know me well
enough to credit me when | say,
that | can distinguish between the
kind partiality Of friends, and the
voice of the whole people"

How TO Make Good Times,

If you are a merchant and wish 10
purchase carriage, patronize your
home mechanics.
If you are farmer, patronize your
home merchant.
If you are a mechauic, do your
business with the people from whom
you obtain your employment.
If you are laborer, spend your
money with home tradesmcn, and
thereby assist in making your town
prosperous.
If the business man, the mechanic
and tradesman, are prosperous, the
laborer, the farmer and all others in
a community will be benefited.
Do your business in a spirit of re-
ciprocity, Let each vocation try to
assist the other, and in this way will
a friendly and mutual relation exist
which will prove beneficial to all.
Do not purchase articles from
abroad which are manufactured at
home if you can possibly help it.
oubscribe for your county paper
and pay for it, and have your Job
work done at THE TINES Office and
be happy.

spending all their money for whisky
have quit drinking and are making
support for their families"
What a contrast with Osceola and
Mississippi county generally. Here
in Osceola, where we have a yearly
trade Of over two hundred dollars,
one fourth Of it is devoted to the
whisky trafc, A planter gives an
order to one of his hands for three
or four dollars, on his merchant, one
fourth or more of it is taken up in
whiskey. Look at the class of huts
and cabins the farmers and hired
hands with their families have to live
in, as general rule; look at their
stock; the slovenly and unimproved
condition Of their lands, the public
roads; bridges and public buildings;
and lastly, look at the list of lands
whose owners let go delinquent!
lands that will produce bale or
more to the acre, and tell us if in
temperance is not the cause, either
directly or indirectly, of this condi-
ton of affairs? The sober business
men, whether farmer, merchant, me-
chanic, lawyer or what not are com
paratively prosperous. Abolish al
cohol, and let all go to work with a
will and definite object in view
and Mississippi county viii soon
blossom like a rose, and be the fair
est land under the sun.

An Editorial fBrUtlIs.

An editor out west INDUCES in
the following talk to his subscribers
and patrons. The famous speech of
Brutus, on the death of Caesar, as
rendered by Shakespeare, is made
to do service in this amusing traves
tY: "llcar ms for our debts, and get
ready that you may pay; trust us,
we have need, as you have long been
trusted; acknowledge your indebted
ness, and dive into your pockets,
that you may promptly fork over.
If there be any among you-one
single patron-that don't owe any
thing, then to him we say; step aside,
consider yourself gentleman. If
the rest wish to know why we dun
them, this is our answer: Not that
we care about ourselves, but our
creditors do. Would you rather
that we went to jail and you go free,
than that you pay your debts and
keep us moving! As we agreed, we
have worked for you; as we contrac-
ted, we have furnished the paper to
you; but as you don't pay, we dun
YOU. Here are agreements for Job
work, contracts for subscription,
promise for long credit, and dqns for
deferred payment. Who is there so
green that he don't take a paper? IL
any, he need not speek, for we don't
mean him. Who is there so green
that he don't advertise? If any, let
him slide; he amt the chap either.
Who is there so mean that he don't
pay the printers? If any, let him
speak, for he's the man we're after"

To MEASURE Corn In THE CRIB.

This rule will apply to a crib of
any size or kind. Two cubic feet of
good, sound, dry corn in the ear will
make a bushel of corn. To get,
then, the quantity of shellcd corn in
a crib of corn in the ear, measure
the length, breath and height of the
crib, inside the rail; multiply the
length by the breath, and the pro-
duct by the height; then divide the
product by two, and You have the
of bushels of shelled corn
in the crib.
To find the number of bushels of
apples, potatoes, etc, in bin. multi
ply the length, breath and thickness
together, and this product by s, and
point off one figure in the product
for decimals.

Special to the Gazette
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The fol-
lowing has just been received from
the department of state:
BY the President of the United States
"A Proclamation:
Whereas, objects of interest to the
United States require that the SEN
ate should be convened at an early
date to receive and act upon such
communications as may be made to
it on the part of the executive. Now,
therefore, |, Chester A. Arthur,
president of the United States, have
considered it to be my duty to issue
this, my proclamation, declaring that
an extraordinary occasion requires
the senate of the United States to
convene for the transaction Of bust
ness at the capitol, in the city of
Washington, on Monday, the 10Th
day of October next, at noon ON that
day, of which all who shall at that
time be entitled to act as members
of that body are hereby required to
take notice.

LAST Monday, at ? o'clock, p. M,
the remains OF President Garfield
were buried in Lake View Cemetery,
at Cleveland, O, From all over the
Union, in every hamlet, village, town
and city, the people of this great VA
ton, paid reverence to the last rites
to the memory of their chief exccu-
tive, by suspendmg all business OPP
crations. Bells from ten thousand
steeples tollcd the funeral dirge, and
announced that the solemn obsequies
of the grave were being performed
over his cherished remains, and the
American heart was subdued with
grief at its loss.

Bold Train Robbery,

Three young men boarded north
bound train at Hope, on the st. l..
|. NJ. & S. r. r.. on the 23rd. inst,
and relieved the Conductor, Express
Messenger and passengers of sums
aggrega:ing between $4,000 and
$4,000. II. NJ. Hoxie, General
Mrnager Of the road offers a reward
of SIS, 900 for the arrest and oonvic-
ton of the robbers. Gov. Churchill
offers a like reward, making $50, 900.
The pistol law, which at first SEEM
ed both wise and polite, would now
appear, viewed from personal safe
ty standpoint, to place one portion
or class of the community at a great
disadvantage. The aentiemar and
aw-abiding citizen who obeys the
law, and leaves his weapon, if he
has one, at home, is completely at
the mercy Of the ruflian and free
booter, who disregards all laws alike.
When three beardless boys-strip-
lings, can board a train crowded with
passengers, bent on business and
pleasure, and p the mu9zie of their
hip-pocket artillery compel them to
surrender the contents OF their pock-
ct books, the weak points in the law
becomes painfully apparent to the
party robbed, and calls loudly TO the
lawmakers to remedy the defects,
by throwing safety guards around
all classes. While it might not
speak well of Americans as a nation,
boastingsof an advanced civilization
and all that sort of thing, it strikes
us a law compelling every railroad
corporation to keep a sufficient
guard on duty on each train for the
protection of its passengers, would
not be a bad idea. The amounts
lost and paid out as rewards and
cost of prosecution would more than
pay guard hire, and handsome bo-
nus for every train robber killed.
The Osceola times., 1881-10-01

a. G. HAYGooD, ID. d., president
of Emory College, in Georgia, thus
speaks of one town which has tested
prohibition:
"ln Carrollton, the temperance
men worked twelve years without
success. In 1916 a bill was passed
by the Legislature prohibiting the
sale of liquor in the town.
"ln spite of all opposition and
abuse, the temperance men succeed
ed, and with results that are marvel
Gus.
"The trade of the town has been
more than doubled. Before the IL
quor traffic was abolished the trade
of the place was about 100000 a
year, now it is 100000 a year.
There are thirty stores in town, and
! do not know of a single merchant
among them who would not vote
against the liquor traffic on purely
business grounds. Mr., John w
Stewart, who has made a fortune
says, as business man, that he
would not have liquor back for any
consideration. Some of our leading
merchants were opposed to prohibi
ton at first, because they feared il
would injure their trade. They are
unanimously in favor of it now. The
$4,000 that was spent here fol
whisky prior to 1875 is now spent
in building houses, improving stock
draining lands; and paying taxes
The farmers are nearly all out o
debt. Many Of the men who wer,

ToBAcco-A PARABLE.-Then
shall the kingdom of Satan be likcn-
ed to grain Of tobacco-seed; which,
though exceedingly small, being cast
into the ground, grew, and became
a great plant, and spread its leaves
rank and broad, SO that huge and vile
worms formed habitation thereon.
And it came to pass, in the course
of time, that the SONS of men looked
upon it, and thought it beautiful to
look upon, and much to be desired
to make lads look big and manly.
So they put forth their hands and did
chew thereof. And some it made
sick, and others to vomit most filthy.
And it further came to pass that those
who chewed it became weak and un-
manly, and said "we are enslaved,
and can't cease from chewing it,.
And the mouths of all that were en-
shaved became foul; and they were
seized with violent splitting; and
they did spit, even in ladies' parlors,
and in the house of the Lord of Hosts.
And the saints of the Most High
were greatly plagued thereby. And
in the course of time it came also to
pass that others snuil'ed it; and they
were taken suddenly with fits, and
they did sneczc with great and
mighty sneeze, insomuch that their
eyes filled with tears, and they did
look exceedingly silly, And yet 9TH
ers cunningly wrought the leaves
thereof into rolls, and did set fire TO
one end thereof, and did suck vehe-
mently at the other end thcrof, and
did look very grave and calf-like; and
the smoke of their torment ascended
up forever and forever, And the
cultivation thereof became a great
and mighty business in the earth,
and the merchantmen waxed rich by
the commerce thereof. And it came
to pass that the saints of the Most
High defled themselves Herewith;
even the poor, who could not buy
shoes, not bread, nor books for the
little ones, spent their money for it.
And the Lord was greatly displeased
Herewith, and said: "Wherefore this
waste; and why do these little ones
lack bread and shoes and books?
Turn now your fields into corn and
wheat; and put this evil thing far
from you; and be separate, and de-
file not yourselves any more; and !
will bless you and cause my face to
shine on you" But with one accord
they all exclaimed: ave cannot
cease from chewing, snuiIing, and
puiling-we are slaves. "-[Christian
Secretary.

THERE seems to he some hitch,
and indecision as to where Guiteau
should be tried. If in the District
Of Columbia, it is feared that his
punishment cannot exceed eight
years in the penitentiary; and it is
questionable whether the state of
New Jersy obtains jurisdiction of
the case by reason Of the death Of
the President in that state. In this
dilema, why not try him by the same
authority and manner that Mrs. Sur
ratt was tried-by Military Com
mission of the United States? That
would settle him.
